Places to see in ( Limoges - France ) Chateau de Chalucet

The Château de Châlucet (sometimes written as Chalusset), a ruined castle, is in the commune of Saint-Jean-Ligoure, about 10 km to the south of Limoges, in the département of Haute-Vienne, and less than 2 km from the Pôle de Lanaud. The ruins dominate the confluence of the rivers Briance and Ligoure.

The castle was built in the 13th century by Bishop Eustorge. In 1306, it was ceded by Henri de Sully to the French king, Philip IV. In 1369, it was attacked by the English. It was a refuge for Huguenots during the Wars of Religion. In 1539, the townspeople of Limoges secured its demolition.

An object of power for the local lords and belonging to the abbey of Solignac, it was the symbol of the feudal power for those (mainly bishops or Viscounts of Limoges) who disputed the use and control of it. At the beginning of the 14th century, the king of France himself seemed to make very large investments there. By an irony of the history, its defensive role, very dissuasive until the 15th century, was fully used during the Hundred Years' War by bands of plunderers which roamed the country.

The castle is a medieval fortress, with a purely defensive goal; it is composed of two parts:

a castle, on the top of a timbered rocky overcrop represents the upper Châlucet (French: Haut Châlucet);
a square keep of the 12th century, called Tour Jeanette is the remaining part of the residence building, that was the lower Châlucet (French: bas Châlucet). The overall shape of the fortress was trapezoidal, and was composed of the main building (formerly arched), courtyards, and the keep.

Restored at the end of the 1990s, the Château de Châlucet is easily accessible today, with a tourist circuit and explanatory panels. The castle is opne to visitors all year, with guided tours possible from April to November. The property of the département, it has been listed since 1875 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

Montreal Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Welcome to Montreal, Canada. This extraordinary city, which began life as a French colony in the 1600s, is now a stunning metropolis combining old-world architecture with modern dashes.

When Mark Twain visited Montreal in the 19th century, he was so taken by its many churches that he nicknamed it “The City of 100 Bell Towers.” These numerous buildings are often part of Montreal sightseeing; marvel at the imposing stone façade of Christ Church Cathedral, or stand beneath the great arched ceiling of the beautiful Notre Dame Basilica. You can spend days exploring the city’s many sacred spaces, but Montreal tourism is so much more than that; if you’re a foodie, you’re in luck, because the residents of Montreal adore a good meal, whether it’s poutine from a streetside bistro or fresh produce from the farmers market.

A tour of Montreal will take you across cobblestone streets and through architecture that dates back to the 1600s, but one thing you must remember to do is to walk and play in its numerous green spaces. The city’s inhabitants take great pride in Montreal’s natural beauty, and hikes up Mont Royal or along the St. Lawrence River are frequent activities for locals. Remember to bring your camera, as the riverfront and the mountain are full of striking photo opportunities.

What is your favorite part of Montreal?

Places to see in ( Amiens - France )

Places to see in ( Amiens - France )

Amiens is a city in northern France, divided by the Somme river. It’s known for the Gothic Amiens Cathedral and nearby medieval belfry. Shops and cafes line the Quartier St.-Leu’s narrow streets. Floating market gardens (“hortillonnages”) dot the city’s canals. The Musée de Picardie shows art and antiquities spanning centuries. Nearby, the Maison de Jules Verne is a museum where the science fiction author once lived.

Amiens is a city and commune in northern France, 120 km (75 mi) north of Paris and 100 km (62 mi) south-west of Lille. It is the capital of the Somme department in Hauts-de-France. The city had a population of 136,105 according to the 2006 census. It has one of the biggest university hospitals in France with a capacity of 1,200 beds.

Amiens Cathedral, the tallest of the large, classic, Gothic churches of the 13th century and the largest in France of its kind, is a World Heritage Site. The author Jules Verne lived in Amiens from 1871 until his death in 1905, and served on the city council for 15 years. During December, the town hosts the largest Christmas market in northern France. Amiens is known for a few local foods, including macarons d'Amiens, almond paste biscuits; tuiles amienoises, chocolate and orange curved biscuits; pâté de canard d'Amiens, duck pâté in pastry; la ficelle Picarde, an oven-baked cheese-topped crêpe; and flamiche aux poireaux, a puff pastry tart made with leeks and cream.

The first known settlement at this location was Samarobriva (Somme bridge), the central settlement of the Ambiani, one of the principal tribes of Gaul. The town was given the name Ambianum by the Romans, meaning settlement of the Ambiani people. Amiens was part of Francia from the 5th century. Normans sacked the city in 859 and again in 882. In 1113, the city was recognized by King Louis VI of France and joined to the Crown of France in 1185. In 1597, Spanish soldiers held the city during the six-month Siege of Amiens, before Henry IV regained control. During the 18th and 19th century, the textile tradition of Amiens became famous for its velours

Amiens, the regional prefecture of Picardy, is also the prefecture of the Somme, one of the three departments (with Oise and Aisne) in the region. Located in the Paris Basin, across the country the city benefits from a privileged geographical position (proximity to Paris, Lille, Rouen, London and Brussels). At the crossroads of major European routes of movement (A1, A16 and A29), the city is also at the heart of a major rail star. As the crow flies, the city is 115 kilometres (71 mi) from Paris, 97 kilometres (60 mi) from Lille, 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Rouen, 162 kilometres (101 mi) from Le Havre and 144 kilometres (89 mi) from Reims. At the regional level, Amiens is located 53 kilometres (33 mi) north of Beauvais, 71 kilometres (44 mi) west of Saint-Quentin, 66 kilometres (41 mi) from Compiègne and 102 kilometres (63 mi) from Laon.

Amiens is a hub between the Île de France and the rest of the north of France; Normandy and Benelux; and France and Great Britain. Amiens is not directly on principal European road and rail arteries, such as the A1 motorway and the Paris-Lille TGV train line, at present. However, at halfway between the urban areas of Lille and Paris, Amiens has good conditions of service and accessibility, including motorways (at the junction of the A16 and A29).

200 year old French farmouse in the foothills of the Pyrenees FOR SALE

Overview
Beautifully framed by fig trees and lilac bushes, this 200 year old former farmhouse has been recently restored to extremely high standards. The ground floor has been laid to tile and all upstairs floors have new sanded and varnished floorboards.

Situation
Situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees, 30 miles from the Spanish border and within easy reach of airports and ski stations.

Roughly equidistant from both Pau and Toulouse airports, the region is easily accessible by air, rail and road. There are TGV train stations at Tarbes and Toulouse and the region is well served by the extensive regional autoroute network. This location therefore provides great accessibility to both summer and winter activities whilst offering the beauty and tranquillity associated with the south west of France and its many attractions.

Accommodation
Built to an 'L' shaped plan, the property is ideal for splitting should you wish to purchase with friends or family or indeed use one half as chambres d'hôte or a three bedroom Gite.

The main house has a good sized sitting room adjoining a separate Kitchen. A central staircase leads to a bathroom / WC and two beautifully restored bedrooms one of which uniquely incorporates the chimney stack from the sitting room below that takes the chill from the room in the winter.

The Kitchen leads into a large utility area currently used for study and reading, with stairs up to a spacious landing / gallery, three bedrooms and a bathroom / WC with shower unit.

Adjacent to the study area is a second WC opposite which is a doorway leading to a large barn. This barn, fully carpeted with Jonc de mer - which is extremely warm to the feet in the winter - and part rendered to show of the existing stonework, is fully insulated and has double glazed sling patio doors looking out onto a well kept gravel and grass frontage. Two fan assisted wood burning stoves have been installed -- one in the sitting room and one in the barn. A natural division occurs between the house and the barn and could be sealed off permanently or by just locking the kitchen door. The upstairs bedrooms in both house and barn are separated by the stone wall of the house. The study area has water and drainage so the addition of another kitchen would effectively turn the property into two with the possibilities of a commercial let or sharing a family lifestyle with a greater degree of privacy. Planning permission has been granted to make additional accommodation to the barn if required.

A pergola and Bar-B-Que area to the side of the barn give way to majestic views across the foothills of the Pyrenees and to the distant peaks along a lush valley.

Nestling in a sheltered valley with a stunning outlook over verdant foothills and the 10 thousand feet high snow capped Pic du Midi, this south easterly facing house is ideally suited for a large family or two separate family units.

Grounds & Outbuildings
The property has the latest locally approved fosse septique, ample power points, telephone and broadband is available in the area.


The price of 260,000 euros is nocociable
