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.

5 Most Beautiful Castles in France
In France, every castle is a château, but not every château is a castle. The French word can be used to describe most of the thousands of castles, palaces and stately homes scattered around the country. Many France’s best-loved castles are nestled in the verdant Loire Valley, but there are great examples of medieval fortresses and fairytale castles in every part of the country. From the romantic ruins of Château de Loches to the nearly fully restored Cité de Carcassonne, no visit to France is complete without exploring the best castles in France.
1 Cite de Carcassonne
2 Palais des Papes
3 Chateau de Saumur
4 Chateau de Vincennes
5 Chateau Gaillard

The Franciscans of Cimiez are also responsible for the parish of Sainte-Marie-des-Anges in Nice ( Cimiez and Vallon des Fleurs for Nice, as well as the neighboring town of Falicon ). Today, a fraternity of four brothers from Assisi (Italy) provides service to the parish of Sainte-Marie-des-Anges.
In the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, we can admire three major paintings of the primitive Nice Louis Bréa : a Pietà , the Crucifixion , and the Deposition , which correspond to 40 years of the activity of the artist. In the beautiful setting offered by the cloister monastery ( xvi th century ), on the occasion of Nice Musical Nights are held classical concerts. This same cloister is used in summer, in good weather, for Sunday Masses .
The remarkable garden that surrounds the building is the former vegetable garden of the monks. The salad of mesclun was invented by the Franciscan fathers of the monks of the monastery of Cimiez in Nice. They mixed various seeds together, creating lou mesclun. The custom was to offer to the poor the plants which they split and which they carried in a espourtoula (sort of basket with handle, rattan in the form of inverted capelin).

Places to see in ( Albi - France ) Cagnac les Mines
Places to see in ( Albi - France ) Cagnac les Mines
Cagnac-les-Mines is a commune in the Tarn department in southern France. It is a former coalmining town for workers of the Compagnie minière de Carmaux. It has a mining museum, whereupon is standing a huge miners safety lamp.
The hamlet of Cagnac-le-vieux that can be located near the wells of the current Mining Museum, to the southwest (see parcel 284 on the cadastral map below), consists of the old castle and some old houses surrounded by a rampart protected by a ditch and pierced by a single door.
The seigniory of Cagnac, which was part of Castelnau-de-Lévis and was detached in 1833 to be part of the municipality of Saint-Sernin-lès-Mailhoc, which name will be replaced by that of Cagnac-les-Mines. The lordship belonged since Pons Delpuech to the xviii th century to Del Puech (Puy French)
From 1895, the new Cagnac was built and expanded quickly southeast of Cagnac-le-Vieux, on the way to Albi. Cagnacois circulate a petition to create a new town, distinct from that of Saint-Sernin-les-Mailhoc. The elected representatives who represent Saint-Sernin support this project which, however, would reduce their area. But the municipal elections of 1904 gave the majority to the representatives of the section of Cagnac who, they ask that the existing municipality is preserved and enlarged portions that Garric and Lescure have agreed to give way. The minority representatives of Saint-Sernin, rural, can not prevent the transfer of the chief town and archives to Cagnac.
For the enlarged municipality portions ceded by Garric and Lescure, the decree published in the OJ of June 12, 1910, formalizes the name change: the municipality of Saint-Sernin-les-Mailhoc takes the name of Cagnac. Around 1920, the old castle and the old houses of the hamlet of Cagnac-le-Vieux will be acquired by the SMA and be destroyed to make room for a quarry embankments for the backfilling of underground workings.
By deliberation dated May 25, 1930, the municipal council of Cagnac asks to the State that the municipality is authorized to be called Cagnac-the-Mines. The municipal council motivates its request because of the errors of routing of the mail destined to its inhabitants often directed towards Cagnac and Gagnac in Lot, Cognac in Charente, Caignac and Cagnac in Haute-Garonne. The change of name would be likely to avoid these errors. The change of name is accepted by decree onFebruary 17, 1931.

Trastevere, Roma - Italy 4K Travel Channel
Trastevere, the name means beyond the Tiber and describes the location of the district on the west bank of the Tiber. Narrow winding streets and hardly any traffic are the typical features of these quarters that make it particularly attractive for tourists. Archways, blind alleys, residential buildings full of corners form pretty photo motives, of which there are countless.
The high density of churches points out that it has always been this is a densely populated residential area.
We reach Trastevere across the Pons Fabricius, the Tiber Island and the Pons Cestius. There we keep to the left and through picturesque lanes we arrive at
Saint Cecilia, the patroness of musicians, died a martyr's death here. First one tried to scald her, as it miscarries, she was beheaded. Later one built this church where she was buried.
Passing the Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione (Ministry of Education), we reachSanta Maria in Trastevere and the piazza of the same name. The square forms the real center of Trastevere. Musicians, painters and sellers gather here on the restaurant-lined square which inevitably attracts the tourists.
But not only here, also in the surrounding streets you find restaurants, bars and Osterias.
Passing the Porta Septimiana we walk to Fontanone di Ponte Sisto in Piazza Trilussa. We leave Trastevere and return in the evening with Dario Andreucci, who works as a tour guide for Mind the Guide.
He sees that the church San Benedetto in Piscinula is currently open and leads us in. The church was built in the 11th century on the foundations of the dwelling house of St. Benedict. Benedict lived in the 6th century BC. In the back part of the church archaeologists came across the cell in which he lived.
The medieval church gives a good impression of the former construction, when the first three-aisles basilicas were built. The church floor is adorned with beautiful Cosmati (marble decorations). On the way to Piazza Santa Maria, he draws our attention to the Convento Dei SS. Quaranta.
We watch the hustle and bustle on the Piazza Santa Maria for a while before make our way to the hotel, where we pass the Bar San Calisto, a meeting place for writers and intellectuals.

Trastevere, der Name bedeutet „Jenseits des Tiber“ und beschreibt somit bereits die Lage des Stadtviertels am westlichen Ufer des Tiber. Enge verwinkelte Gassen und kaum Autoverkehr sind die typischen Merkmale diese Viertels, die es für Touristen besonders attraktiv machen. Torbögen, Sackgassen, verwinkelte Wohnhäuser bilden hübsche Fotomotive, von denen es hier unzählige gibt.
Die Hohe Dichte an Kirchen weist darauf hin, dass es hier schon immer um ein dichtbebautes Wohngebiet handelte.
Wir erreichen Trastevere über die Ponte Fabricio, die Tiberinsel und die Ponte Cestio. Dort halten wir uns links und erreichen durch malerische Gassen
Santa Cecilia in Trastevere
Die heilige Cäcilia, Schutzheilige der Musik, starb hier den Märtyrertod. Erst versuchte man sie zu verbrühen, als dies misslang wurde sie enthauptet. Später errichtete man diese Kirche, in der sie bestattet wurde.
Vorbei am Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione (Bildungsministerium) erreichen wir
Santa Maria in Trastevere
und die die gleichnamige Piazza. Der Platz bildet das eigentliche Zentrum von Trastevere. Musikanten, Maler und Verkäufer versammeln sich hier auf dem von Restaurants gesäumten Platz, der unweigerlich die Touristen anzieht.
Doch nicht nur hier auch in den umliegenden Gassen reihen sich Restaurants, Bars und Osterias aneinander.
Vorbei an der Porta Septimiana spazieren wir zur Fontanone di Ponte Sisto an der Piazza Trilussa. Wir verlassen Trastevere vorläufig, kehren am Abend mit Dario Andreucci, der als Fremdenführer für „Mind the Guide“ arbeitet wieder zurück.
Er sieht dass die Kirche San Benedetto in Piscinula gerade geöffnet ist und führt uns hinein. Die Kirche wurde im 11 Jahrhundert auf den Grundmauern des Wohnhauses des Hl. Benedikt errichtet. Benedikt lebte im 6. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Im hinteren Teil der Kirche sind Archäologen auf seine Zelle, in der er lebte gestoßen. Die mittelalterliche Kirche vermittelt einen sehr guten Eindruck über die damalige Bauweise, als die ersten dreischiffigen Basiliken errichtet wurden. Der Kirchenboden ist mit wunderschönen Kosmaten (Marmordekorationen) geschmückt.Auf dem Weg zur Piazza Santa Maria macht er uns auch auf das Convento Dei SS. Quaranta
aufmerksam.
Wir beobachten eine Weile das Treiben auf der Piazza dei Santa Maria, bevor wir uns auf den Weg ins Hotel machen, wobei wir an der „Bar San Calisto“, einem Treffpunkt für Schriftsteller und Intellektuellen vorbei kommen.
