Places to see in ( Bayonne - France )
Bayonne is a city in the Basque Country region of southwest France, where the Nive and Adour rivers meet. Narrow medieval streets characterize the old Grand Bayonne district. Here lie the Gothic-style Bayonne Cathedral, with its 13th-century cloister, and Château Vieux castle. Across the Nive river in the Petit Bayonne district is the Musée Basque, a museum devoted to the region’s arts, crafts and traditions.
Stretching along the banks of the Rivers Adour and Nive, the waterside city of Bayonne is one of the prettiest in southwest France, and the capital of the French Basque Country. It's been a strategic stronghold since medieval times, and the old ramparts are still visible around the outskirts of the old town, but it's Bayonne's pretty half-timbered buildings, riverside restaurants and shady cobbled streets that make it worthy of exploration.
Bayonne is six kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean, close to the eastern Pyrenees and just north of Biarritz. Indeed the three towns of Biarritz, Bayonne and Anglet almost merge into each other. France This Way comment: although it is not the best known destination in the region, Bayonne is a lovely city. Arriving from the north you cross over the river Adour and then straight away you cross over the river Nive. I always think towns are attractive when a river runs through them, but two rivers – double the pleasure. The town centre in Bayonne is also now classed as one of the protected French Historic Towns.
The main thing to do in Bayonne is just to walk around through the old town’s narrow streets and soak up the atmosphere. The shops are interesting and there is an abundance of nice looking restaurants, bars and cafes. The river frontage, the old town and the cathedral are the principal highlights of a visit.
The rivers divide the town into discrete sections. The River Nive separates Grand Bayonne from Petit Bayonne and the River Adour separates Petit Bayonne from Saint Bayonne and these are linked by the Pont St Esprit. The river Nive is a narrow river as it travels through Bayonne and a total of five bridges link Grand and Petit Bayonne. All along the river there are lovely half timbered town houses, many of them now home to shops, cafes and bars.
Basque villages and towns are often very pretty with their white houses and shutters painted in deep red or dark green - Bayonne is also a Basque town and the tall town houses with their shutters and exposed timbers painted in these typical red and green Basque colours are very attractive. The main historical sights are in Grand Bayonne. The gothic Cathedral of Sainte Marie, built on the site of a roman cathedral lost in a fire, was largely built in the 13th century but later additions were added up until the 19th century. It is a very ornate building though a lot of the detail has been lost to the elements. Behind the cathedral is a gothic cloister built in the 18th century.
Nearby is the Chateau Vieux, where the governors of the city, including the Black Prince, were once based. This is now the property of the army and cannot be visited. Don’t miss a stroll through the Botanic Gardens with more than 1000 species and a distinctly Japanese theme. These gardens are part of the reason for Bayonne holding the prestigious 4 flowers category of the ville et village fleurie competition, in recognition of the planting that has been carried out in the town.
In this part of Bayonne you can also see remnants of the ramparts of the town. These date from three different eras: Roman ramparts, ramparts from the time of Francois I (16th century) and ramparts designed by the famous Vauban (17th century) who designed many of the defences of French towns during his lifetime. Some of the streets near the cathedral such as Rue d’Espagne, which leads to the Port d’Espagne, are hung with bunting adding to the lively atmosphere of this part of town.
Cross over the river Nive to visit the Musée Basque. This is the biggest museum of Basque life and houses 2000 items and works of art commemorating Basque life. Also in this part of Bayonne is the Musee Bonnat which houses a large collection of paintings by Leon Bonnat as well as paintings by Rubens, le Greco, Goya and Degas. Also in this quarter of Bayonne is the Eglise Saint Esprit, once an important stage on the Pilgrimage to Saint Jacques de Compostella.

Largentière est une superbe petite ville de 1800 habitants située à 10 km environ au sud d'Aubenas en Ardèche plein sud.
Initialement nommée Ségualières jusqu'au 13ème siècle, la cité doit son nom actuel à des mines de plomb argentifère exploitées du 10ème au 15ème siècle, puis partiellement au 20ème siècle.
Le château fut commencé au 13ème siècle et sa partie visible aujourd'hui date du 15ème siècle, Il domine la cité et comprends notamment un énorme donjon appelé tour de Bonnegarde, où était frappée la monnaie avec l'argent extrait des mines. De 1481 à 1497 fut construit le chateau neuf de Largentière, au nord et à l'est du chateau vieux.
N'y manquez pas la fête médiévale « Le Temps des Chevaliers ».
L'église gothique Notre-Dame-des-Pommiers, espace près des remparts, date du 13ème siècle mais a été mainte fois remaniée. Avec sa haute abside à 3 pans, et quelques beaux retables à l'intérieur, elle nous offre toutes ses richesses. Sur la chaire en pierre est gravée une inscription en occitan datée de 1490.
Héritière d'une longue et brillante histoire, la cité médiévale a conservé une bonne partie de ses fortifications, dont la porte des Récollets qui date de 1507 et les tours de l'horloge et de Tauriers.
L'office du tourisme organise des visites guidées de la vieille ville et vous fera découvrir les façades de somptueuses demeures. Vous pourrez aussi vous perdre au hasard du dédale des ruelles.
Largentière était une ville très convoitée, ce qui explique pourquoi elle est encore entourée de châteaux défensifs et de vieux villages fortifiés.
Montreal, Downtown and Vieux-Montreal - Canada HD Travel Channel
Montreal is the second largest city in Canada and the second largest French speaking city in the world. Its metropolitan area is home for 3.6 million people. 1600 km away from the Atlantic Ocean, it is the most important port city in eastern Canada. Until 1760 the town was in French possession. With the Treaty of Paris, Montreal like whole Canada, was handed over to the British. The statue of Lord Nelson in front of the Town Hall is the evidence of it.
Montréal is marked through and through by French culture. Especially in the old town -Vieux-Montreal - at the harbor, in the pubs and in the music, you feel the spirit of the mother country, which once came from the settlers. Here one speaks French but you also hear Joual, the dialect of the province Quebec with American influences. Narrow streets with some three hundred years old houses convey the feeling that one is in the French province. The horse-drawn carriages that are encountered here at every turn give this impression even a further touch of the past.
There are other means of transportation, like a family day out of a different kind with the Segway.
The passenger port is a good place to see the impressive market hall of the Marché Bonsecours. Originally it was City Hall and Parliament seat, later it became concert hall. Today, preferentially art objects and furniture were offered inside.
Back in Vieux-Montreal we admire the old guild signs and let the atmosphere of the old town effect on us.
The Place d'Armes, where once the military parades took place, the centre of the old banking area and a popular meeting place is for locals and tourists.
Worth seeing is the cathedral Marie-Reine-du-Monde. Built in 1894, it is a scale model of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
In this area, the construction of the underground of Montreal was started. Similarly to Toronto, the skyscrapers are connected to the town by underground and shopping arcades by means of Path.
Today, the former Union Station serves as a meeting and concert hall. Between the skyscrapers of the banks and consulting firms you see a sculpture of the British sculptor Henry Moore.

Montréal ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Kanadas und die zweitgrößte französisch sprechende Stadt der Welt. Im ihrem Großraum leben 3,6 Millionen Menschen. 1600 km vom Atlantik entfernt ist sie die bedeutendste Hafenstadt im Osten Kanadas. Bis 1760 war die Stadt in französischem Besitz. Mit dem Frieden von Paris wurde sie wie ganz Kanada an die Briten abgetreten. Die Statue von Lord Nelson vor dem Rathaus zeugt davon.
Montréal ist durch und durch von französischen Kultur geprägt. Vor allem in „Vieux-Montréal der Altstadt am Hafen, in den Kneipen und in der Musik spürt man den Geist des Mutterlandes, aus dem einst die Siedler kamen. Hier wird französisch gesprochen, aber auch Joual, den eigenständig fortentwickelten Dialekt der Provinz Québec mit amerikanischen Einflüssen. Engen Gassen mit teilweise dreihundert Jahre alten Häusern, vermitteln das Gefühl, man sei in der französischen Provinz. Die Kutschen, denen man hier auf Schritt und Tritt begegnet, geben diesem Eindruck noch zusätzlich einen Hauch von Vergangenheit.
Aber es gibt auch noch andere Fortbewegungsmittel. Ein Familienausflug der etwas anderen Art mit dem Segway.
Vom Passagierhafen aus ist die beeindruckende Markthalle des Marché Bonsecours gut zu sehen. Ursprünglich war sie Rathaus und Parlamentssitz, später Konzertsaal. Heute werden in ihrem Inneren bevorzugt Kunstgegenstände und Möbel angeboten.
Zurück in „Vieux-Montréal bewundern wir die alten Zunftzeichen und lassen die Atmosphäre der Altstadt auf uns einwirken.
Der Place d'Armes, wo einst Truppenparaden stattfanden, ist der Mittelpunkt des alten Bankenviertels und ein beliebter Treffpunkt für die einheimische Bevölkerung und Touristen.
Nicht weniger sehenswert ist die in etwas kleinerem Maßstab 1894 dem römischen Petersdom in Rom nach empfundene Kathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde.
Von hier aus wurde der Bau der Montrealer Untergrundbahn begonnen. Ähnlich wie in Toronto sind die Hochhäuser der Stadt durch U-Bahn und Einkaufspassagen mittels „Path verbunden.
Die ehemalige Union Station dient heute als Veranstaltungshalle und Konzertsaal. Zwischen den Hochhäusern der Banken und Consulting-Unternehmen steht eine Skulptur des britischen Bildhauers Henry Moore.
