LA VÍA DE LA PLATA (ESPAÑA - SPAIN)
We were recently commissioned by our friends over at rutadelaplata.com/en to produce an advertisement to showcase the route at a film festival in Nantes, France.
The ad was a huge success and we are very proud of it. Hopefully it will inspire many people to experience the real Spain along the Iberian route 66.
The route is especially good for motorbike enthusiasts as it meanders through some of the most spectacular scenery of Spain and also passes through many towns famed for gastronomy.

Le château romantique de Jumilhac en périgord (Notrebellefrance)
Le château (XIII-XVIIème siècle), classé monument historique, est l’âme du village car il fut protégé de la Révolution par les habitants du bourg. Uniques en France, ses toitures féeriques ornées de faîtières aux allégories seigneuriales et alchimiques inspirèrent le graveur Gustave Doré qui les qualifia comme étant les plus romantiques de France.
Dressé sur un éperon rocheux il domine la haute vallée de l’Isle. Nous vous invitons à venir découvrir ses salles aux boiseries et meubles d’époque, ses toiles peintes (scènes de chasse…), sa fameuse batterie de cuisine en cuivre, sa légende de « la fileuse » et à vous délasser en visitant ses jardins en terrasse rénovés sur des thèmes liés à l’histoire du château : l’Or et l’alchimie.

10 Interesting Country Borders You Have To See To Believe
History (and sometimes, unfortunately, current events) shows us just how easily national borders can change, but we still like to think that they are permanent fixtures. These photos of different national borders around the world show you how both friendly and hostile nations like to fence off their turf.
Borders will often say much about countries' relationships. The borders between friendly nations, especially those in the European Union's Schengen zone, can seem almost non-existent, marked by no more than a line or a road sign. Other borders are delineated by natural markers like rivers, or by man-made markers, like guard posts and demilitarised zones.
COUNTRY BORDERS LISTED IN THIS VIDEO ARE GIVEN BELOW:
1, Spain And Portugal Border
2, USA And Mexico Border
3, United States Canada Border
4, Slovakia Austria and Hungary Border
5, Norway Sweden border
6, Poland And Ukraine border
7, Border between The Netherlands and Belgium
8, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay border
9, France – Switzerland – Germany (in Basel)
10, India Pakistan Border

Musee Nissim de Camondo, legacy of a dilletante Travelingmom's photos around Paris, France

Entry from: Paris, France
Entry Title: Musee Nissim de Camondo, legacy of a dilletante
Entry:
Musee de Nissim de Camondo Rob offered to take some time off this morning so we visited the Musee de Nissim Camondo, another one of those museums in 'hotels particuliers' in France that one never really gets to see on the tourist circuit. It really is fun to peek inside the lives of the upper crust of Paris at the turn of the 20th century, however it does pique me when I think about the life of such a dilletante whose life was devoid of real meaningul endeavor. The museum was the former home of Moise de Camondo, a banker of Turkish-Sephardic decent whose family had founded the most important bank in the Ottoman Empire. His grandfather was named a count by Victor Emmanuel as thanks for helping to fund the reunification of Italy. His father Nissim and uncle Abraham moved to Paris in 1869 and were known for their philanthropic work and banking prowess. Issac and Moise, sons of the two men followed their fathers into the family's banking business, although their banking efforts were mostly concerned with preserving their assets. As adults, Moise and his cousin Isaac established two homes facing the Parc Monceau in the 8th arrondisement. Isaac, who never married, was a devoted collector of Impressionist art as well as an avid collector of Japanese and 18th century decorative arts and furnishings. His house now houses Morgan Stanley's Paris office. Following Isaac's death in 1911, his hundreds of works, including some of the Louvre's most important impressionist paintings, by Degas, Sisley and Monet (he was friendly with Monet) et al., were donated to the Louvre under the condition that the paintings be shown together for 50 years. Today they are spread around different galleries at the Louvre, the Orsay and other state musuems. Moise followed in his brother's footsteps as a collector. His society wife (I assume an arranged marriage between banking families), Irene Cahan d'Anvers left him for one of his stablemen (another count no less) in 1891, but their two children, Nissim and Beatrice stayed behind with the father. Moise was a devoted horseman, hunter, and 'gentleman' whose banking was mostly concerned with the family's weath, and who otherwise spent most of his time on his hobbies. His greatest interest was collecting 18th century art. In 1913, he had his home on Parc Monceau rebuilt specifically to showcase his decorative arts collections. The updated plumbing, state of art elevator, intercom system and electricity make this home more unusual a museum than most in Paris, but the home is no less elegant and glorious to visit. After Moise's son Nissim was killed during WWI, Moise withdrew from society and the bank, spending the rest of his life refining his collection as a legacy to his son. The complete home and its contents were donated to the state and the Union of Decorative Arts following his death in 1934. In his legacy, he saw that 'maintaining the integrity of his residence would be conserving a glorious period in France with the most beautiful objects that could be collected for the period that he most loved (the 18th c.).' In typical 'old world' paternalistic fashion, his daughter Beatrice, an accomplished equestrian, and her issue, were not part of the patrimony of the house. Beatrice, her husband and daughter had lived in the Camondo home until their second child was born, but they moved to Neuilly, a posh suburb, in 1923. Ignoring the threat of the Nazis, they remained in France during the occupation, and were all deported to Drancy in 1942. All four of them perished at Auschwitz in 1945, effectively ending the Camondo line. An interesting aside--because we were curious what happened to Moise's ex-wife, I looked her up. She came from a well-known and very wealthy ...
