St-Paul de Vence in the south of France
St-Paul de Vence in the South of France is one of the best preserved and prettiest medieval villages in all of Europe. We're going to take you on a walk straight through the middle of St-Paul on the main pedestrian lane from one end of town to the other and later working to show you all the little side streets. Located on the Cote d'Azur along the French Riviera in Provence, this village is one of the prettiest in Europe. The cobblestone lanes here are among the finest that you will ever see.
When you reach the far end of the main lane you exit through another gateway arch and then there's a staircase that leads your right up onto the wall with a lovely viewing platform where you can see across the distant landscape.
The walks round the walls are in part wider, and the small gardens of the houses sloping down to them, with the dark foliage and golden fruit of their orange groves, form a beautiful foreground to the lovely views that are visible off in the distance in every direction.
Saint-Paul de Vence's town wall dates from the 16th century as we see it today and it hugs the contours of the rocky spur on which the village stands, forming a 1 km perimeter that has undergone only slight modifications since the 16th century.
We have created many more movies about this area, the Côte d'Azur, the French Riviera that you can find on our channel, so have a look. You'll see programs about Cannes and Monaco, Monte Carlo, St-Paul, Vence, Villefrance, all around through the region including Antibes, and we really enjoy using Nice as our home base to explore this entire region.

Places to see in ( Blois - France )
Blois, a hillside city on the Loire River, is the capital of the Loir-et-Cher department in central France. The late-Gothic Blois Cathedral towers over its cobbled center. Nearby, the Château Royal de Blois is a former royal palace with ornate chambers, and paintings and sculptures from the 16th to 19th centuries. Opposite, La Maison de la Magie Robert-Houdin explores the history of magic and holds live performances.
Towering above the northern bank of the Loire, Blois’ royal château, one-time feudal seat of the powerful counts of Blois, offers a great introduction to some key periods in French history and architecture. The city makes an excellent base for visits to the châteaux, villages and towns of the central Loire Valley. Blois attracts many visitors because of the popular Chateau de Blois that is situated in the town, but Blois is also a very pretty town with plenty of historical sights to see and also a vibrant centre. It makes a very good base for visiting the castles of the Loire valley.
The Chateau de Bois sits at the top of the town on the edge of a large square. From this side it looks like a large manor house with its brick and stone facade. Above the entrance is a statue of King Louis XII mounted on a horse. The chateau has many interesting rooms to visit and its internal courtyard reflects 4 different periods of history in its architecture. The square in front of the castle was once part of the castle and was surrounded by walls and contained stables, armouries and religious buildings. During King Louis XII the castle lost its military focus and various mansions were built around the square for those closest to the King.
The building that is now the Maison de la Magie opposite the castle entrance was built in the 19th century and the area became a public square following the bombing of the city in 1940. The Maison de la Magie is now a museum dedicated to magic and the art of illusion. It contains many objects that belonged to Houdini and his life and work are a major part of the exhibition. There is also a show created by Ferard Majax called the Hallucinoscope.
Below the castle is a lively old town with narrow streets and ancient buildings. Blois was in its heyday as a royal town in the 16th century and much of its architecture reflects this period though there are also buildings dating to the 12th century. The ancient town includes many late Gothic and Renaissance palaces such as the palace of the Archbishop, surrounded by terraced gardens close to the Loire.
On the eastern side of town is the Cathedral of Saint Louis, dating from the tenth century, and in Gothic style. Inside it has magnificent windows which were created by a Dutch artist Jan Dibbets in 1992. Opposite the cathedral, the ‘Maison des Acrobates’, dates from the fifteenth century. Behind the cathedral is the town hall and Bishop's garden. The Fondation du Doute is an interesting building which is a Contemporary Art Centre based around the ideas of the Fluxus Group. Conceived by the artist Ben, there are works by various artists including Duschamp, Dali and Man Ray. The Café Le Fluxus is a great place for a coffee or bistro lunch. It certainly makes quite a change to castle visiting in the area.
Blois has several very nice gardens. The Bishop's garden (Jardin de l'Eveche) behind the cathedral has some wonderful views over the Loire as well as a lovely rosary. Near to the chateau the Jardins du Roy are a beautiful contemporary garden with box hedges cut in lines and waves and interplanted with roses in a very original way. Other areas include ponds and fountains and more contemporary style planting.

Places to see in ( Orleans - France ) Parc Louis Pasteur
The Louis Pasteur Park or Shepherd park is a public garden French four hectares, established in 1927 and located in the center of Orleans , north of the Loire , in the department of Loiret and the region Center-Val de Loire. The garden is located in the perimeter of the natural region of the Loire Valley registered in World Heritage of UNESCO; it is one of the three large gardens of Orleans with the Floral Park of the Source and the garden of plants. It takes its name from the French scientist xix th century Louis Pasteur , particularly famous for his work on vaccination .
In the immediate vicinity of schools Pothier Jean Zay and Benjamin Franklin , the General Council of Loiret , the Louis Pasteur Park is part of a square formed by the streets Eugene Vignat, Jules Lemaitre, Ferdinand Buisson and Peter the first of Serbia. It is located in the Saint-Vincent district of Orleans, about 900 meters north of the right bank of the Loire , in the natural region of the Loire Valley .
The site is devoted to the cultivation of the vine until the middle of the xviii th century. In 1786 , the bishop of Orleans Louis Sextius Jarente of La Bruyère made the decision to remove the cemeteries located inside the ramparts of Orleans for public health reasons. Two new cemeteries are created to replace them and in particular that of the Champ-Carré renamed by the Saint-Vincent suite on the site of the current Pasteur park. A door carved out of the former Saint-Samson church of the Jesuits is arranged to mark the entrance to the cemetery.
The Louis Pasteur Park is designed according to the plans of the landscape architect Édouard Gitton and the first tree species chosen by the horticulturists Eugène Turbat , Léon Chenault and René Barbier. From a flat topography, about 110 meters above sea level, the park is organized in a part of French garden , with traditional paths and massifs around the miniature boat basin, and a more landscaped part with big trees and large lawns. It is decorated with a fountain flowing on a basin, aligned in the axis of the Sainte-Croix cathedral of Orleans .
Attributed as a deposit to the city of Orleans by the Louvre Museum in Paris , two statues allow to decorate the garden, The Human Source of Felix Charpentier and The First Roof of Maxime Real del Sarte. The city of Orleans completes the works by the following sculptures: Naked woman slaying the Eagle of Villeau, The Sculpture , marble of Leon Fagel , The Man with the Wolf , marble of Georges Jacquot.
