Places to see in ( Saint Malo - France )
Places to see in ( Saint Malo - France )
Saint-Malo is a port city in Brittany, in France's northwest. Tall granite walls surround the old town, which was once a stronghold for privateers (pirates approved by the king). The Saint-Malo Cathedral, in the center of the old town, is built in Romanesque and Gothic styles and features stained-glass windows depicting city history. Nearby is La Demeure de Corsaire, an 18th-century privateer’s house and museum.
Walking through the cobbled streets of St Malo’s old town feels like you’ve stepped back in time. This popular tourist destination and busy ferry port offers visitors an authentic glimpse into Brittany’s important seafaring past. Once the feared base of pirates (corsairs), heavily fortified against Norman (or English) attack, today's Saint-Malo is one of the top tourist draws in Brittany. The star of the show is the atmospheric walled city (intramuros), largely destroyed in the Second World War but painstakingly reconstructed. The modern towns of Parame and Saint-Servan lie outside the walls. It is also the birth place of renowned French explorer Jacques Cartier who is famous for exploring Quebec.
Saint-Malo has a good bus system, with the main terminals located at the train station and just outside the walls(St Vincent). Get a booklet with maps and times from any bus driver. A one and a half hour ticket costs €1.15. Unfortunately there are no bus services late in the evening. The walled city is easily covered on foot, but you can also opt for a dinky Tourist Train that takes you and your wallet for a ride (€5.50).

Places to see in ( Saint Raphael - France )
Places to see in ( Saint Raphael - France )
Saint-Raphaël is a resort town on the Côte d'Azur, in southeastern France. Numerous beaches line the Mediterranean coast, some in rocky coves like Fournas and Maupas. Named after a WWII Allied landing, Débarquement Beach faces the island Île d'Or. To the west is the landmark Notre Dame de la Victorie Basilica, built from sandstone in the 19th century. Set atop a parking garage, Bonaparte Garden overlooks the bay.
Saint-Raphael is a seaside resort a few kilometres south-east of Frejus on the French Riviera. The town is one of the oldest resorts on the coast - there is evidence that wealthy Romans used to pass their summers here 2000 years ago. France This Way comment: despite this long period of occupation there is not a great deal in Saint-Raphael to recall the history - but no matter, it is a lively and popular resort with a nice beach in the town centre.
Nowadays Saint-Raphael is one of the calmer resorts on the French Riviera, standing in the shadow of the rugged Massif de l'Esterel. It is a very clean, well maintained resort with a small harbour, and beaches to either side of the harbour. It is one of our favourite resorts on this part of the Cote d'Azur.
The more eastern of the beaches is backed by grand regency era hotels, now with cafes to the front. Saint-Raphael also has a large number of cafes and shops in the area around the harbour, again all very clean and modern where you can escape from the sunshine. Behind the harbour there is a colourful old town, quite small but pleasant and with narrow streets to explore, which has a daily fruit and vegetable market.
One of the oldest buildings here is the Church of Saint-Raphael (Eglise San Rafeu), towards the north of the centre of the town and dating from the 12th century (although expanded in the 18th century) and with a watchtower which you climb for lovely views across the town. Another imposing building in the centre of Saint-Raphael is the byzantine style basilica, built in the 19th century.
To the south of the harbour is a large public garden called the Jardin Bonaparte where photo exhibitions are sometimes held, which also contains a large children's play area. If you head east along the sea front from the centre of Saint-Raphael you reach another harbour area called Saint Lucia. You can then follow the coast path to Boulouris and a selection of smaller beaches.
As well as the romans, there are also traces of both prehistoric and ancient Greek occupation in the area: visit the Archaeology Museum in the presbytery of the old church to learn more. In more recent years it was Napoleon who brought Saint-Raphael to the public gaze when he landed here after his Egypt 'adventure', and set off from Saint-Raphael when he was first sent into exile, an event commemorated in a small memorial in the port area.
Deep-sea diving and walking along the coastal path are among the most popular activities in and near Saint-Raphael. The surrounding coastline (more than 30km of coastline is found here) and the Massif de l'Esterel together represent a protected and carefully maintained environment, including restrictions on new developments along the coast. The beaches and rocky section of coast are characterised by the red rock, as found in the Massif de l'Esterel and best seen by following the coast road east via Agay to Theoule-sur-Mer.

Places to see in ( Saint Malo - France ) tour Solidor
Solidor Tower (in French tour Solidor) is a strengthened keep with three linked towers, located in the estuary of the river Rance in Brittany. It was built between 1369 and 1382 by John V, Duke of Brittany (i.e. Jean IV in French) to control access to the Rance at a time when the city of Saint-Malo did not recognize his authority. Over the centuries the tower lost its military interest and became a jail. It is now a museum celebrating Breton sailors exploring Cape Horn.
The Solidor Tower is located in the former city of Saint-Servan, which merged with Saint-Malo in 1967. It is featured in the 1957 Wendy Toye film True as a Turtle starring John Gregson, Cecil Parker, June Thorburn and Keith Michell.
Located at the mouth of the Rance and in the district of Saint-Servan, the Tower Solidor, built in the fourteenth century to control the city of St-Malo was then transformed into a prison. This tower is now home to the International Museum of Long Course and Cape Horniers in honor of long-haul sailing trips. You will be able to visit the Tower and enjoy the magnificent view offered by the outer walkway.

Places to see in ( Nantes - France ) Village de Trentemoult
Places to see in ( Nantes - France ) Village de Trentemoult
Lovely for a pleasant stroll, and a place to have something to eat and drink, to chat with friends and watch the changing hues of the Loire under the setting sun. From the western tip of the Isle you’ll first notice the red-tiled roofs, a sure sign that you are looking at the south bank of the Loire. Trentemoult is part of Rezé, which stretches along the south of Nantes. It was once a fishing and Cape Horner village.
Its traditional three-storey houses were built with the Loire’s rise in water level in mind, the ground floor, liable to flooding, contained the cellar, and above it was the reception room. The top level was an attic, which often linked to neighbouring attics, allowing villagers to meet without having to use boats. The staircases were mainly outside, giving access to the upstairs rooms during times of flooding. Occasionally there was an interior staircase too.
In the second half of the 19th century, captains started to feel squeezed in by size of these houses, and started to build bigger ones around the village. These more bourgeois houses had large gardens filled with flowers and exotic plants brought back from their travels. Building the quayside reduced the risk of floods, the last big ones happened in 1910 and 1935.

Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Ile Rousse
Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Ile Rousse
L'Île-Rousse is a commune in the Haute-Corse department of France on the island of Corsica. It was founded in 1758 by Pasquale Paoli to create a port that would not be in the hands of the Genoese like Calvi. As Italian was until 1848 the administrative language of Corsica, the town was originally named Isola Rossa (Red Island) from the ochre colour of a rocky islet that served as a natural harbour. Along with Saint-Florent, it is one of only two communes in the département to have a French name — all the others have kept their Italian names despite the repeated demands of Corsican nationalists.
Inhabited since very ancient times (between 5000-3000 BC), l'Île-Rousse was in 1000 BC a small, prosperous town dependent on Tyre in Phoenicia, called Agilla. Destroyed by the Phoenician fleet of Calaris (Galeria), Agilla came under Roman rule as Rubico Rocega (red rock) until the 4th century AD. Being so close to the sea, it was threatened by pirates and other potential enemies, and was not inhabited for several centuries except for fishermen and peasants who lived on the products of the sea and earth around the villages of Santa Reparata and Monticello.
In the 17th century, merchants from Santa-Reparata-di-Balagna established shops to trade by sea with the coastal villages of the Balagne, Nebbio, and the west of the Cap Corse. About 1759, Pasquale Paoli, who often came to Balagne, decided to equip Corsica with a port in the north west of the island to try to cut the sea traffic between Genoa and Calvi. His plans prepared, he persuaded the Balagne government, sitting in Algajola, to authorise him to create a fort protecting the port (the Scalu) on 10 December 1765. L’Île-Rousse was born from this decision.
Built on a bay bounded to the north west by the rocky islets of red porphyry which give it its name, and to the south by an immaculate white sand beach, l’Île-Rousse is presented to the tourist in all its beauty, extending westwards from the sea to the hill of the Sémaphore and the col de Fogata.
The old town of Pascal Paoli, le Père de la Patrie (the Father of the Fatherland), is made up of paved streets, almost rectilinear and oriented north-south. From the quays of the commercial port installed on 3 of the 6 small islands, the fishing port and the bridges which link the harbour complex to the coast and the market with its twenty one columns, the fortifications and the houses of the old city grew over the years, from 1765 into the first half of the 19th century.
Certain houses with their interior Florentine staircases are remarkable. The first church built in 1740 and destroyed in 1936 gave its name to the rue Notre-Dame. The church dedicated to Notre Dame de Miséricorde is next to an old Franciscan convent, while the parish church of l’Île-Rousse, the Immaculée Conception de Marie, is on the west of the main square, with its enormous date palms (planted 1890) in the shade of which it is good to play a game of pétanque.
The new town blends harmoniously with the old at the place Paoli, shaded by hundred year old plane trees, where it is good to take the summer air. The old town offers visitors the chance to stroll on the old paving stones, partly restored, along streets with historic names: Pasquale Paoli, Napoleon, les frères Arena (Arena brothers), Louis Philippe, Agilla..
Built by Pascal Paoli, equipped by its municipal officials, after 1815 with a blazon decorated with the royal fleur-de-lis of France and run for than a half-century by elected Bonapartist officials, l’Île-Rousse is a town with a share in the history of Corsica. Its contradictions make it an attractive and unexpected place for the tourists who come each year to sit down under the plane trees of its beautiful central square.

Touriste, NOLA
Produced & Edited By Aloke Mukerjee. Music: Sunshine's Better by John Martyn. Posted on January 4, 2012.
NOLA is commonly used for New Orleans, Louisiana.
New Orleans is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The city is named after Philippe d' Orléans, Duke of Orléans, Regent of France, and is well known for its distinct French Creole architecture, as well as its cross cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz), and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. New Orleans is located in southeastern Louisiana, straddling the Mississippi River. Lake Pontchartrain, part of which is included in the city limits, lies to the north and Lake Borgne lies to the east. La Nouvelle - Orléans (New Orleans) was founded May 7, 1718, by the French Mississippi Company, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, on land inhabited by the Chitimacha. Napoleon sold the territory to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Thereafter, the city grew rapidly with influxes of Americans, French, Creoles, Irish, Germans and Africans. Major commodity crops of sugar and cotton were cultivated with slave labor on large plantations outside the city. New Orleans was catastrophically impacted by what the University of California Berkeley's Dr. Raymond B. Seed called the worst engineering disaster in the world since Chernobyl when the Federal levee system failed catastrophically during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. By the time hurricane Katrina approached the city at the end of August 2005, most residents had evacuated. Over 1,500 people died in Louisiana and some are still unaccounted for. Though New Orleans possesses numerous structures of national architectural significance, it is equally, if not more, revered for its enormous, largely intact historic built environment. There are many other historic housing styles: Creole cottages, American townhouses, double-gallery houses, and Raised Center-Hall Cottages. St. Charles Avenue is famed for its large antebellum homes. Its mansions are in various styles, such as Greek Revival, American Colonial and the Victorian styles of Queen Anne and Italianate architecture. New Orleans is also noted for its large, European-style Catholic cemeteries, which can be found throughout the city. For much of its history, New Orleans' skyline consisted of only low and mid-rise structures. The soft soils of New Orleans are susceptible to subsidence, and there was doubt about the feasibility of constructing large high rises in such an environment. Prior to Katrina, there were 265 hotels with 38,338 rooms in the Greater New Orleans Area. In May 2007, there were over 140 hotels and motels in operation with over 31,000 rooms. According to a travel poll, New Orleans is the best U.S. city as a spring break destination and for stylish boutique hotels, cocktail hours, singles/bar scenes, live music concerts and bands, antique and vintage shops, cafés/coffee bars, neighborhood restaurants, and people watching. The city also ranked second for gay friendliness (behind San Francisco, California), friendliness (behind Charleston, South Carolina), bed and bath hotels and inns, and ethnic food. Notable tourist attractions in the Quarter include Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, the French Market (including Café du Monde, famous for café au lait and beignets) and Preservation Hall. To tour the port, one can ride the Natchez, an authentic steamboat with a calliope, which cruises the Mississippi the length of the city twice daily. Unlike most other places in The United States, and the world, New Orleans has become widely known for its element of elegant decay. The city's many beautiful cemeteries and their distinct above-ground tombs are often attractions in themselves, the oldest and most famous of which, Saint Louis Cemetery, greatly resembles Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
