Places to see in ( Montelimar - France )
Places to see in ( Montelimar - France )
An unmissable destination for sweet-lovers thanks to its famous nougat, Montélimar is located between Valence and Avignon, in the middle of Provençale Drôme, the land of lavender. Peaceful and welcoming with its old pedestrian quarters and little town squares, Montélimar was conquered by the Romans before the birth of Christ. It has many treasures left over from its eventful past that are very appealing to tourists.
Its beautiful mansions are found in the historic centre: the Renaissance-style house of Diane de Poitiers, dating from the 15th and 16th centuries; the 17th-century Puy-Montbrun mansion; the 18th-century Chabrillan mansion. The Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross, located on the site of the first church thus named in the 12th century, has been transformed and renovated many times following the destruction caused by the Wars of Religion. Another sight to see is St. Martin's Gate, built from dimension stone in the 17th century and formerly part of the city's ramparts.
In the heights of the city, the Adhémars' Castle is a 12th-century medieval palace, Romanesque in style and surrounded by ramparts. Temporary exhibitions and shows take place there. You can visit the residential palace, keep and chapel. You can buy a pass for combined admission to the castle and the St. Martin Contemporary Art Museum. To entertain the young ones, head to the Museum of Miniatures, based in an old chapel in the city centre. Dedicated to the art of miniature-making, it has amongst other things a magnificent collection of dolls' houses.
Lastly, you can't visit Montélimar without stopping at one of its many nougat shops, to sample this unique treat made from almonds and honey. To step back in time to your childhood days, you can also stop by the Palace of Sweets and Nougat, a fun, educational and interactive space devoted to childhood and memories.
Montelimar is primarily famous for its nougat and if you are visiting Montelimar be sure to taste some. It is nothing like the chewy, plasticy stuff that passes for nougat in the UK but is really delicious. Wandering along the main street, the Rue Pierre Julien there are plenty of shops dedicated to the sale of nougat. Nougat first began to be made in the 17th century when the almond trees planted around Montelimar first started fruiting. Almonds and honey are key components of the delicious Montelimar nougat.
The basic nougat is made of sugar, honey and egg whites and to this almonds, pistachios and vanilla are added. Most of the nougat makers in the town will let you watch the nougat making process, usually in the morning when the day's batch is made. Apart from nougat Montelimar is not really a tourist destination but it does have a pleasant centre with a few sights to look out for.
Also to look out for are the municipal theatre built in neo-classical style in the 19th century, a Protestant Church built in the 17th century and a very attractive pharmacy. The pharmacy has a frontage made of tin and lead and has quite an ornate neo-classical style. If you are travelling with children the Jardin Public in the centre of Montelimar is a nice park, great for a picnic, and near the entrance is a mini-farm with peacocks, sheep and pygmy goats. One of the main sights to see in Montelimar is the Chateau des Adhemar which sits on a hilltop above the town. Adhemar castle was built at the end of the 12th century by the Adhémar family. It has battlements, a main residence, a keep and a chapel. It is used to house contemporary art exhibitions.

Marmoutier tours SAN MARTIN DE TOURS france
The abbey was founded by Saint Martin of Tours (316-397), in 372, after he had been made Bishop of Tours in 371. Martin's biographer, Sulpicius Severus (c. 363–c. 425), affirms that Martin withdrew from the press of attention in the city to live in Marmoutier (Majus Monasterium), the monastery he founded several miles from Tours on the opposite shore of the Loire River.
Sulpicius described the severe restrictions of the life of Martin among the cave-dwelling cenobites who gathered around him, a rare view of a monastic community that preceded the Benedictine rule:
Many also of the brethren had, in the same manner, fashioned retreats for themselves, but most of them had formed these out of the rock of the overhanging mountain, hollowed into caves. There were altogether eighty disciples, who were being disciplined after the example of the saintly master. No one there had anything which was called his own; all things were possessed in common. It was not allowed either to buy or to sell anything, as is the custom among most monks. No art was practiced there, except that of transcribers, and even this was assigned to the brethren of younger years, while the elders spent their time in prayer. Rarely did any one of them go beyond the cell, unless when they assembled at the place of prayer. They all took their food together, after the hour of fasting was past. No one used wine, except when illness compelled them to do so. Most of them were clothed in garments of camels' hair. Any dress approaching to softness was there deemed criminal, and this must be thought the more remarkable, because many among them were such as are deemed of noble rank. (Sulpicius, Vita, X)
In 853 the abbey was pillaged and destroyed by Normans, who killed over 100 monks. During the years shortly after 1000 AD, the abbey grew considerably, becoming one of the richest in Europe. In the wake of the Norman Conquest the abbey acquired patronage of churches in England. In 1096 Pope Urban II consecrated its new chapel, and preached the First Crusade. Pope Calixtus II preached crusade again in 1119, convincing Count Foulques V d'Anjou to take part and leading to his subsequent role as King of Jerusalem. In 1162 Pope Alexander III, who came to reside in Tours after being chased from Rome by Frederick Barbarossa, consecrated the monastery's new Chapel Saint Benoit.
The abbey eventually grew too small for its inhabitants, and was completely rebuilt at the start of the thirteenth century under the leadership of Abbot Hugues des Roches. In the following century its abbot Gérard du Puy became cardinal-nephew to the last of the Avignon popes, Gregory XI. In 1562 the abbey was again pillaged, this time by Huguenot Protestants at the start of the Wars of Religion. Again however it recovered. English diarist John Evelyn visited the abbey, and recorded this entry for June 6, 1644:
“ I went by water to visit that goodly and venerable Abbey of Marmoutiers, being one of the greatest in the kingdom: to it is a very ample church of stone, with a very high pyramid. Amongst other relics the Monks showed us is the Holy Ampoulle, the same with that which sacres their Kings at Rheims, this being the one that anointed Henry IV. Ascending many steps, we went into the Abbot's Palace, where we were showed a vast tun (as big as that at Heidelberg), which they report St. Martin (as I remember) filled from one cluster of grapes growing there. ”
The abbey was disestablished in 1799 during the French Revolution, and within a few decades the bulk of its buildings had been demolished.
Henry James visited the abbey in 1883, being guided through the various buildings by a chatty nun - as described in his book A Little Tour in France.
Today its grounds contain a private school, and of its former structures only a few ruins remain.

Places to see in ( Angers - France ) Cathedrale St Maurice
Places to see in ( Angers - France ) Cathedrale St Maurice
The Saint Maurice Cathedral of Angers is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Angers in Angers, France. Built between the 11th and 16th Centuries, It was classified in 1862 as a national monument of France for its mixture of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, especially the Angevin Gothic style, and for the stained glass windows, including the transept's window of Saint Julian, considered to be a masterpiece of French 13th century glasswork.
The original Romanesque church was rebuilt with Gothic details in the mid-12th century. The single-aisle plan was vaulted with pointed arches resting on a re-clad interior elevation. The nave consists of three simple bays, with single bays on either side of a crossing forming transepts, followed by a single-bay choir, backed by an apse.
The Cathedral of Angers was originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary. But, in 396, St. Martin, the Archbishop of Tours, added St. Maurice to the dedication. He had acquired a relic of some of the blood of the members of the Theban Legion, who were martyred, along with their leader St. Maurice, in the 3rd Century for converting to Christianity. The relic was brought to Tours and later, according to legend, a phial of it was given to Angers. In the 7th Century, a devotion to St. Maurilius, the Bishop of Angers in the 4th Century, began. A biography of him was written and, in 873, his body was transferred to the Cathedral. Two hundred years, St. Maurilius and St. Maurice were frequently mentioned together as the patron saints of the Cathedral but eventually St. Maurice became the primary patron of the Cathedral.
During the Middle Ages, both the Angers Cathedral and the Amiens Cathedral claimed that they were in possession of the reputed head of St. John the Baptist, which had been brought to France from the Fourth Crusade but had since been lost. In 1806, the porch, which stood in front of the facade, had to be demolished because of its dilapidated condition. Built in the Angevin Gothic style in front of the entrance's gate, it had two levels but, today, the four pointed arches are the only remaining evidence of the medieval porch. Various reconstruction projects were developed in the 20th Century but none of them made it out of the planning stage
The pipe organ has been in the Cathedral as early as the 14th Century. But the current incarnation was built only in 1617 by the organ maker, Jacques Girardet, who was probably recycling the pipes and other parts from the previous organ. An earlier organ was replaced in 1416 with a new case by Jean Chabencel but in 1451 it burned down, struck by a lighting bolt. A replacement was built in 1507 on the initiative of Anne of Brittany on the original spot, the counter in the choir. It was restored for the first time, after a fire, in 1533 by Peter Bert and for the second time, in 1701 by Marin Ingoult, who added the pedalboard. When Ingoult was done, the organ had, besides the pedalboard, 47 pipes with four keyboards (manuals).
