Beaune, in the Burgundy region of France in 4 days including Nuits Saint Georges and Dijon
We stayed just outside the historic town centre which is surrounded by a moat and which wall. The Bouzaize river flows under the town, there is a wash house, Lavoir St Jacques, built 1887, on its banks. We took the tourist train for an orientation trip of the town and surrounding area then visited the famous hospice for the poor built 1443 and the Collegiale Basque Notre Dame. The next day we went to Nuits Saint Georges with the Elise St Symphorien (13th century), the museum (which was closed), bought some wine at L’Imaginarium (which had a video show of the history of their wine as well as a tasting) and finally Abbaye Notre Dame de Citeau, a Cistercian Abbey. The next day we bought a picnic and hired bikes to cycle along the very well marked “Route des Grands Crus” through the vineyards visiting Pommard, Meursault and finally Volnay where we bought a few bottles of the excellent wine we tasted. On the last day we visited The Well of Moses (1400) on our way to Dijon which has more to it than mustard. Dijon has an excellent “Owl Trail” which winds through the lovely old town past all the well known sights such as their Notre Dame, their busy market, and old buildings such as Maison Milliere (1483), le Nef, the Palais des Ducs de Burgundy with the Tombs of Philip the Bold and John the Fearless and the Cathedral Saint Benign. Before we left Beaune we spent the morning in their excellent Saturday Market.
St Symphorien Military Cemetery Part 1 Tour of the Cemetery
St Symphorien Military Cemetery near Mons Belgium is a combined German and Commonwealth Cemetery from World War One. I have visited many many war cemeteries and this is in my top 5 favourites as it is both unusual in layout, beautiful to look out and contains some very significant graves.
Part 1 looks at the cemetery layout while Part 2 looks at some of the significant graves including the final resting place of the first and last British soldiers to die in World War One, lying just a few feet apart.
Places to see in ( Metz - France ) Saint Maximin
Places to see in ( Metz - France ) Saint Maximin
The church Saint - Maximin is a catholic church located near the Lutheran Temple in the district of the Old Town in Metz in Moselle . It is placed under the name of Bishop Maximin of Trier , who died in 347. The Romanesque church is located in the district Outre - Seille , 68 rue Mazelle.
The construction of this church Romanesque dated xii th century xv th century. The choir, the transept and square tower of the xii th century are an important testimony of the Romanesque period. The nave dates from the xv th century. In the southern transept, the chapel of Louve and Gournay dates from 1365, a gift of Poinsignon Dieu Amy. The young Jacques-Benigne Bossuet pronounced on October 24, 1658, one of the first funeral orations, that of Henry de Gournay. A baroque portal replaces in 1753 the first ogival door
The church houses the only known stained glass windows designed by Jean Cocteau; the stained glass windows were put in place at the end of the 1960s according to cartons from 1962. The stained glass work by Jean Cocteau in Metz is undoubtedly his last great masterpiece substantially completed posthumously since died October 11, 1963. It Edouard Dermit , his adopted son who will ensure the full implementation of the project designed by Jean Cocteau.
The most convincing message signified by central stained glass seems to be that of immortality. Obviously, if Cocteau has made the two characters appear so clearly in this axial stained glass (the praying and his double), we can not ignore and ignore the content of their invocation to know the faith in immortality. Moreover, it is this same immortality that any artist seeks through his work whose goal would be to create a work that succeeds him. Jean Cocteau himself, making this last creation the most important before his death, had to think about it all the time. He did not stop his life during his use of mythology and in particular the character of Orphée to bring back to life the dear ones and make them even immortal. Regarding the Orphée filmfrom 1950, it is said in particular in the blog The Eye on the Screen : Jean Cocteau transposes the myth of Orpheus to the present time ... The man is saved, Death dies, it is the myth of immortality. ' .

Globe Trekker Series 16 - World War 1: The Western Front Trailer
Interested in more information? Follow this link to find out everything you need to know!
In this Globe Trekker Special, Zay Harding travels across Northern France and Belgium, visiting key World War One locations on the Western Front.
Zay’s journey starts in the town of Meaux, 25 miles from Paris, the closest that the German army came to capturing the French capital, and the site today of the newly opened Museum of the Great War.
Moving on to the Aisne region, Zay visits the Confrecourt quarries, remarkable for a rock-cut chapel and many other historic carvings made by French troops who sheltered here, just behind the front lines, between 1914 and 1918.
Zay-Harding-Tries-on-a-100-year-old-gas-maskAt Ypres in Belgium, location of many of the war’s bloodiest battles, and site of the first use in 1915 of the terrible new weapon of poison gas, Zay tries on British and German gas masks from a remarkable private collection.
Back in France, Zay visits Verdun, where the war’s longest all-out battle took place in 1916, at the cost of around 300,000 French and German soldiers’ lives. At the centre of the battlefield, a vast cathedral-like ossuary houses the bones of 130,000 of the soldiers whose bodies have never been identified.
Just a few miles from Verdun, at the hill of Vauquois, the most important battles took place underground. Zay explores a warren of tunnels dug by the French and Germans, in which over 500 massive mines were detonated, obliterating the village that once stood on top of the hill.
Zay-Hareding-in-VerdunneElsewhere, British troops fought alongside a large number of troops from Commonwealth countries. Zay visits Fromelles, where a mass grave of Australian soldiers was recently discovered; they have been reburied in the first Commonwealth War Graves cemetery created since World War Two.
Near Cambrai, Zay is shown one of the First World War’s most remarkable relics, a massive intact tank that was unearthed in recent years in a local field.
Another new weapon that made a big impact in the war was the aeroplane. Zay visits an airshow near Paris to see World War One planes in flight.
One of the most important factors that led to Germany’s defeat was the late entry into the war of the USA. Zay visits the battlefield along the St Quentin canal, where US troops broke through the German front lines in autumn 1918.
Finally, at Mons in Belgium, Zay visits the poignant St Symphorien cemetery, where some of the last of the 10 million soldiers to die in the war are buried, including a Canadian who was killed just two minutes before the ceasefire.

A Day In France at the Vimy WW1 Memorial - Benelux Trip 9
The Canadian Memorial of Vimy, stands as an impressive tribute that Canada paid to all those who served their country in fighting or gave their lives during the First World war. It majestically overhangs the Douai plain and the mining area at the foot of the Artois hills. It indicates the location of the operation of which the Canadians are proudest, during the Second World war. It represents a homage to all those who fought during four years for their country and in particular to all those who paid with their lives.
Inscribed on the ramparts of the Memorial are the names of one thousand two hundred and twenty five Canadian soldiers who were posted missing and presumed dead in France.
