Places to see in ( Saint Remy - France ) Site Archeologique de Glanum
Glanum was an oppidum, or fortified town in present day Provence, founded by a Celto-Ligurian people called the Salyes in the 6th century BCE. It became officially a Roman city in 27 BCE and was abandoned in 260 AD. It is located on the flanks of the Alpilles, a range of mountains in the Bouches-du-Rhône département, about 20 km (12 mi) south of the modern city of Avignon, and a kilometre south of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. It is particularly known for two well-preserved Roman monuments of the 1st century B.C., known as les Antiques, a mausoleum and a triumphal arch (the oldest in France).
Between the 4th and 2nd centuries BC, the Salyens, the largest of the Celto-Ligurian tribes in Provence, built a rampart of stones on the peaks that surrounded the valley of Notre_Dame-de-Laval, and constructed an oppidum, or fortified town, around the spring in the valley, which was known for its healing powers. A shrine was built at the spring to Glanis, a Celtic god. The town grew, and a second wall was built in the 2nd century BC.
In 49 BC Julius Caesar captured Marseille, and after a period of destructive civil wars, the Romanization of Provence and Glanum began. In 27 BC the Emperor Augustus created the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis, and in this province Glanum was given the title of Oppidum Latinum, which gave residents the civil and political status of citizens of Rome. A triumphal arch was built outside the town between 10 and 25 BC, near the end of the reign of Augustus, (the first such arch to be built in Gaul), as well as an impressive mausoleum of the Julii family, both still standing.
Glanum did not survive the collapse of the Roman Empire. The town was overrun and destroyed by the Alamanni in 260 AD and subsequently abandoned, its inhabitants moving a short distance north into the plain to found a city that eventually became modern day Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
The Mausoleum of the Julii, located across the Via Domitia, to the north of, and just outside the city entrance, dates to about 40 BCE, and is one of the best preserved mausoleums of the Roman era. The triumphal arch stood just outside the northern gate of the city, next to the mausoleum and was the visible symbol of Roman power and authority. It was built near the end of the reign of Augustus Caesar (who died in 14 AD). The upper portion of the arch, including the inscription, are missing.
Glanum was laid out on a north-south axis through the valley of Notre-Dame-du-Vallon. At the northern end was the residential quarter, with the public baths, and at the southern end was the sacred quarter, with the spring and grotto. In the center was the monumental quarter, the site of the forum and public buildings.
The northern part of Glanum, at the bottom of the sloping site, was the residential quarter: the site of villas and of the extensive public baths. The baths were the center of social life, and helped serve to Romanize the local population.

Places to see in ( Nancy - France ) Eglise des Cordeliers
The Church of Saint-François-des-Cordeliers is a Roman Catholic church located in Nancy, France, capital city of Lorraine. It was constructed as part of a monastery under Duke René II of Lorraine following the Battle of Nancy, next to the Palace of the Dukes of Lorraine. It was consecrated in 1487. The monastery was Franciscan and the French name term cordelier refers to the simple rope belts the monks would tie their cassocks around. Since the monastery was under the patronage of the dukes, the church had close ties to the House of Lorraine and a number of its members were laid to rest there. Previously members of the family were laid to rest in St George's Collegiate Church, which does not exist anymore.
The church continued to keep its connection to the ducal house after Lorraine passed under royal French rule. Marie-Antoinette of Austria stopped at the church to pray on her way to Paris for her marriage to her future husband King Louis XVI of France. Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria also came to pray here in 1867.
Archduke Otto von Habsburg-Lothringen, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne and head of the house of Lorraine, married here on May 10, 1951 to Princess Regina of Saxe-Meiningen. They returned here in 2001 for their golden jubilee. A requiem mass was also held here on 9 July 2011 in memory of the crown prince. Each year, on the 3rd Saturday in October, a mass in memory of the family of the Dukes of Lorraine and Bar is celebrated by the parish priest of the Basilica of Saint-Epvre in the church of the Cordeliers.

BARGING THROUGH FRANCE PT 15 - LA DROME
THE LIME FLOWER FAIR
In this episode of the video series about barging through France, host Richard Goodwin takes a trip down the Rhone tied to the barge of my friend whose barge is called L'Humanite. The Rhone is still a river for working boats and men. Before the river was canalised, men used to drag the barges up the river.
Richard reports:
My first stop was at the vineyard that produced St. Joseph wine. The proprietor graphically demonstrated his method for tasting wine.
In the Vercours, Mr Achard demonstrates his bee keeping technique. He convinces me that the bees he cultivates from Buckfast Abbey, in Devon never sting and produce a large amount of honey. When he presses a frame of the hive against my cheek fully populated with bees, I confess my heart was in my mouth. He tells of the many grafts that Father Adam had made to produce these amazing bees. Mr. Achard, a professor of Indian history, also told me many things about the history of bees which I found immensely interesting. The bee is 150 million years old. He says that his friend Father Adam was the best beekeeper since Aristotle 2400 years ago.
The Drome is a great place for growing lavender. Every year in a corner of the Drome in Baronies there is lime flower fair where dried lime flowers are sold by members of the public which is a joy to watch. I meet some amusing people on the way to the fair. Lime flower tea is a neuro sedative and not as my talkative friend claims an aphrodisiac. This is what is called La France profonde or truly in the stix.
