Places to see in ( Chambery - France )
Chambéry is an Alpine town in southeast France. In the old town is the medieval Castle of the Dukes of Savoy, with historical exhibits. Near Chambéry Cathedral, the 1838 Elephant Fountain honors the 18th-century general Benoît de Boigne. The Musée des Beaux-Arts exhibits include 14th- to 18th-century Italian works. South, the Museum of Charmettes was once home to philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Chambery is an attractive and lively town in the Savoie department of the Rhone Alps, about 50 kilometres north of Grenoble. The city has a long history linked with that of nearby Italy, and the Dukes of Savoy and Chambery only became a permanent part of France in 1861 - see history of Chambery for details. In recent years Chambery has had something of a revival and has been tidied up and important institutions such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts have re-opened. It is now bright and colourful and a really pleasant place to spent some time.
Start your visit in the wonderful Place Saint-Leger in the heart of the old town, featuring the Fontaine des Marmousets and a 19th century sun-dial and surrounded by tall houses all painted in different colours and lots of outdoor restaurants allowing you to sit down and really savour the atmosphere - and the food. The significant amount of historic heritage in Chambery have led to its being officially listed as a Town of Art and History (Ville d'Art et Histoire') in France. Learn more with a visit to the 'Interpretation Centre' in an imposing 16th century townhouse on Rue Saint Réal.
The historic centre of Chambery dates from the 15th and 16th centuries onwards. One curiosity you will see is the Fountain of the Elephants - built around 1838 in honor of Benoit Leborgne, Earl of Boigne (1751 -1830) on his return from India, after a wandering life in the service of an Indian prince. The fountain is arranged such that the four elephants make a sort of cross which represents the coat of arms of the House of Savoy.
The city has a lot of other squares and streets of interest. From the Place Saint Leger you can explore the many alleys that radiate in all directions, eventually reaching the elegant Rue Croix d'Or where you can admire some ancient aristocratic houses, some of which date back to the 16th century. One of these roads is also named after Boigne and contains many elegant shops.
Chambery castle is an important building (the 'Castle of the Dukes of Savoy') and was sold by its owner (Berlion, Lord of Chambéry) to the Counts of Savoy in 1232. It remained the residence of the Savoy Counts until 1562. The castle is now home to the council offices but you can join a guided visit to see inside. Its chapel, the Sainte Chapelle, used to house the 'Holy Shroud' brought to Europe at the time of the Crusades and entrusted to the Savoy Lords in 1452 (who moved it to Turin in 1578, where it gained the popular name 'the Turin Shroud' - there is a copy of the shroud in the cathedral). Visitors here can also see the 70 famous bells of the so-called 'Great Carillon'.
The gothic style 13th century Cathedral Church of the Franciscan Friars of Saint Francois de Sales has a rather austere facade but is home to the largest collection of trompe-l'oeil paintings in Europe. The highlight in the cathedral is the treasury which includes a 12th century Byzantine diptych among its interesting artefacts, and there is also a copy of the Turin shroud on display in the cathedral.
The City Museum of Fine Arts (the Musée de Beaux-Arts) contains some notable paintings including a beautiful painting representing the 'Adoration of the Magi' by Jean de Bruges and a copy of a remarkable 'San Gerolamo' by Correggio executed by local painter Gian Francesco Berengier in the 18th century. A large part of the museum is dedicated to paintings by Italian Renaissance artists, in particular 'Portrait of a Young Man' by Paolo Uccello and 'Trinity' by Bartolo di Fredi, and many others. The Savoy Museum (Musee Savoisien) is also very interesting and contains numerous artefacts and pictures as well as numerous other collections, such as Roman coins, that explain the long history of Chambery and the Savoy region.

A visit to the Beach - South of France - Cavalaire & La Croix Valmer beaches
We visited a beach in the Var department of France, in the southern part that is overlooking the Mediterranean sea.
The video was shot on a sunny April day, temperatures in this time of year are not warm enough for a nice swim but a walk along the beach and getting your toes wet is very possible - even fun.

2010-05-10-Pyrenees tour-A
During our Pyrenees trip 2010 we had a tour from Montory through St. Jean Pied le Port, St. Etienne de Baigorry, Espelette, Ainhoa, Biarritz, Hasparren, Saint Palais, Mauleon, Oloron and back to the hotel in Montory. We had a beatiful day and we were riding with all 6 bikers at that time. On our way back I (Robert) started to video tape the group behind me. We were changing speed as it fitted the group and the situation. I have split the whole movie into 3 sections A, B and C. A funny part is shown in the last section when we arrived with good speed at a scene where 2 French policemen (flics) blocked the road and I still had the camera on. I thought they had lasered our speed and now we would have to pay. And I was worried that the camera was still running. But they just showed us another direction because the road ahead of us was blocked. I left this scene in the video because I think it is funny.

Death rituals of the Dutch - The Netherlands from above
How does our search for legacy and meaningfulness look like now that we live even further in denial? In Calvinist Netherlands, death was a taboo topic for a very long time. However, at the cemetery that has been run by a family for generations, death is as common as the cheese sandwich for lunch. The secularization in the Netherlands continues, but that does not mean that our quest for singing and spirituality ends. Relatives can now make a tattoo of the ashes of their dead. We are looking for something that gives meaning to our lives, and safeguards our legacy. This can be a great project, a pompous building in the landscape, but also a young tree planted in a newly constructed forest, in memory of a loved one. And if we do not care about “something” or about spirituality, we can always surrender ourselves to the skating madness that takes over the whole of Holland in the winter.
The Netherlands from above shows us a country from a spectacular perspective. From the sky it is possible to see how the Netherlands changes through the seasons, and how in parallel they form the determining moments of our own life cycle. Through data visuals, impressive aerial images and portraits of people on the ground, the second series of the Netherlands from above outlines an image of how time has changed our country and how we move in it. The way we live from day to day, and from generation to generation in this country reflects our resilient mentality. The Netherlands from above season 2 tells us the story of seeing and taking opportunities, falling and rising up again, reinventing the wheel again and again. Where the first series was an ode to the makeable Netherlands, this second series is an ode to our resilience.
