The Netherlands from above - E4/10 - The Netherlands in leisure time
This series shows The Netherlands from a spectacular perspective. Through data visualizations, impressive aerial images and portraits of people on the ground, we show who we are and how time changes and has changed the country.
More than 17 million people (16 million when this program was made) on such a tiny piece of ground: living, working and having fun. Surely that can't work well, isn't the country full already?

Terre d'Irlande, terre de légendes
Archive de l'émission Des Racines et Des Ailes : Du Finistère à l'Irlande diffusée le 23/11/2016.
Reportage Terre d'Irlande, terre de légendes en intégralité.
Les légendes ont bâti l’Irlande, dans ses paysages comme dans sa langue. Tout au nord de l’île - en Irlande du Nord - la Chaussée des Géants tient son nom du conte que les hommes ont inventé pour expliquer l’inexplicable : une jetée naturelle dans la mer, comme une voie pavée d’énormes dalles de basalte. Neville McConachie a grandi à quelques kilomètres ; il est désormais ranger sur le site. Il nous explique les mystères et les légendes de ce site classé au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco.
Les paysages présentent toutes les nuances de vert, de brun et d’eau. L’absence de bois et de forêts a conduit les habitants des campagnes à recourir à d’autres sources pour se chauffer, telles que la tourbe.
La langue gaélique reste une énigme pour les oreilles profanes. Enseignée à l’école primaire, elle laisse ensuite sa place à l’anglais. Des cours sont ainsi dispensés aux adultes qui désirent redécouvrir la langue que souvent leurs grands-parents maîtrisaient. Un proverbe irlandais dit d’ailleurs (en gaélique) qu’« un pays sans langue est un pays sans nom ».
Aujourd’hui, 40 millions d’Américains ont des origines irlandaises ; leurs ancêtres ont émigré aux Etats-Unis lors de la grande famine du XIXème siècle. Certains souhaitent désormais apprendre cette langue.
Parmi les familles à avoir fui la famine, il en est une qui a bâti sa légende outre-Atlantique : les Kennedy. Nous rencontrons l’un des descendants de la famille, Patrick Grennan. Il vit toujours dans la maison d’origine. Le Président Kennedy y a effectué une visite privée en 1963. Les archives révèlent un JFK étonnant et détendu, en visite chez sa cousine.
L’université prestigieuse de Trinity College à Dublin recèle un des plus beaux manuscrits enluminés du Moyen Age : le livre de Kells. Un précieux évangéliaire conservé dans une des plus majestueuses bibliothèques universitaires d’Irlande.
Tout près de Dublin, le marquis Conyngham nous reçoit dans son château de Slane. Il écrit la nouvelle légende de son domaine. Son parc est un amphithéâtre naturel ; il a donc décidé d’en faire une des scènes internationales les plus renommées : Bowie, U2, les Stones se sont produits à Slane. De quoi marier patrimoine historique et XXIème siècle.
Dernière étape, tout au sud, à Kinsale, où Jerome Lordan, un pilote passionné d’histoire et intarissable sur son île, nous explique le paradoxe d’une île à l’esprit continental. Le capitaine adjoint du port, Julian Renault, nous initie aux règles qui prévalent dans les pubs qui vous accueillent.

The Netherlands from above - E7/10 - Why do we live where we live?
This series shows The Netherlands from a spectacular perspective. Through data visualizations, impressive aerial images and portraits of people on the ground, we show who we are and how time changes and has changed the country.
Over the past 100 years the population of Netherlands has increased by around 10 million. In order to provide accommodation for everyone, we have built millions of houses. We now live in centuries-old canal houses, in new housing estates, or on the water in house boats.

Serene hike to the Lake Bouillouses Natural Site in Pyrenees-Orientales, France
It was the first day of our 2 day hike to the Pic Carlit (2921m). This bright sunny day started at the camping Pla de Barres and we planned to walk around 10 kms to the lake Pradeilles.
We were so excited to do this hike as it's been a long time since we ascended the peak Puigmal last year. All the first part of the trail was a very easy and relaxing walk along the banks of the river Tet. It is one of our favourit type of routes where you really get to enjoy the shadow of the forest and the water flowing nearby. It's been really tempting to get in the water and to take the bath in the river as there were some deep places where the water could be quite warm. The ground under our feet was very soft and bouncy to step at because of the amount of peat in it and it was such a nice feeling. Sometimes the trail was becoming very muddy and slippery but most of the time it was following the little forest paths. We met lots of beautiful flowers and greenery on the way as well as cows and horse pastures. And this land is known to be one of the best pasture lands in the region. We guess it's because of the abundance of water and thus lots of grass for the cattle. We tasted some wild strawberries and they were very sweet and delicious. Then to our sight opened up the view of the mountain range in the distance and one of them was our goal -Pic Carlit. The day was quite hot as it was the start of August and we were really glad to see the clouds coming out at one point. And we learnt throughout this year of hiking that the clouds are the blessing for a hiker and not necessarily mean the bad weather even though the footage can look less bright and cheerful. Closer to an end we had to conquer a steep uphill and got out to the lake Pradeilles. There we found a very nice place to camp right at the lakeside and we were glad to see the signs of the camping allowed in this area. This way we felt more secure and not concerned about hiding our tent or anything. And we were lucky to get a very picturesque spot all to ourselves even though there were lots of people hiking around. So we put up our tent, collected some water from the lake, cooked and ate our dinner and after watching the sun hiding behind the peaks we were out to sleep. And the next day was promising some new exciting adventures...

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.

Dutch free range farming - The Netherlands from above
How far from the farming life do we live and what do we really know about our food production? Still, the Netherlands is for an important part an agricultural country. We export a lot, but we also transport a lot of food. The megaliths and industrial food production are at odds with the idyllic picture that we cherish from the countryside: a little keet farmer, with a few cows and a blissful smile on his face. We know that the time of that farmer's romantic image is over. Nestled among the trees, hobby farmer Harm Joling keeps an untouched piece of moor. We cherish the illusion, recommending free range milk over the conventional milk from cows in stables, and that gives us the feeling that we are self-sufficient. We massively try to prepare our own food ourselves, as much as possible. Abandoned lands in large cities are transformed into vegetable gardens. That’s how we maintain the illusion, on a small scale.
The Netherlands from above shows us a country from a spectacular perspective. From the sky it is possible to see how the Netherlands changes through the seasons, and how in parallel they form the determining moments of our own life cycle. Through data visuals, impressive aerial images and portraits of people on the ground, the second series of the Netherlands from above outlines an image of how time has changed our country and how we move in it. The way we live from day to day, and from generation to generation in this country reflects our resilient mentality. The Netherlands from above season 2 tells us the story of seeing and taking opportunities, falling and rising up again, reinventing the wheel again and again. Where the first series was an ode to the makeable Netherlands, this second series is an ode to our resilience.

If anything has formed the Dutch, it is the battle against the water. With lots of perseverance and inventiveness we took our country from the sea and turned an uninhabitable delta into one of the most prosperous places on earth. Note: NAP = Normaal Amsterdams Peil/Amsterdam Ordnance Datum.

More than 100 years ago, Dutch aviation pioneer Anthony Fokker caused a stir in the city of Haarlem by flying a few laps over it in his primitive aircraft de Spin (the Spider). Fokker was the first to see what we're now accustomed to: The Netherlands From Above.

Anthropology of the Dutch: traditional farmers versus modern life in the Netherlands
On the Veluwe lives dwelling and conservative people. In the past, the people there lived completely isolated, the surrounding forest shielded the outside world. The people had to survive by ploughing through the poor sandy soils and for a good harvest the only think they could do was to pray God. Today, these people are rich and no longer depend on the soil: they are slowly letting go of the farm life. The outside world is constantly pushing for taking over, especially with the Internet, but also by going out and working outside the area. Urban problems are no longer avoidable.
Original Title: De Hokjesman - De Boeren
Fascinated by the prevailing pigeonhole spirit, the pigeonhole man goes on field research into the world of appealing Dutch subcultures. With a wink to the classical ethnologist, dressed in a three-piece suit with a bow tie, he analyzes the man as one of the animal groups.

Stokksnes - Viking village - Iceland
Coordonnées: 64°15'56.3N 14°59'38.4W
Durée de l'activité: 01h00
Coût: 600 ISK (6 $ CAD)
La péninsule de Stokksnes, où se dresse l'imposant mont Vestrahorn, est située en Islande.
C'est à cet endroit que se situe le Viking Cafe, un tout petit restaurant qui vend entre autres du café, des sandwiches et des gaufres.
Nous sommes allés visiter le petit village viking situé à proximité. Le droit d'entrée de 600 ISK est payable à l'intérieur du restaurant.
S'il n'y a personne, un petit coffre est laissé à l'extérieur pour que l'on y dépose le montant exigé.
Il s'agit d'une reconstitution d'un village viking pour un film réalisé par Baltasar Kormákur. Le film n'a jamais été tourné. Cependant, Universal Studios aurait acheté les droits de ce film en 2014.
Le site est vraiment enchanteur. Les bâtiments représentent fidèlement l'époque viking. On y retrouve même un donjon situé sous un énorme rocher artificiel.
A proximité, il y a également une belle plage de sable noir.
L'endroit est vraiment photogénique.

Anthropology of the Dutch: anthroposophy in The Netherlands
In this episode our pigeonhole man investigates the remarkable combination of science and mysticism and views how a self-sacrifice religion-without-god leads to a struggle between followers and non-believers.

Fascinated by the prevailing pigeonhole spirit, the pigeonhole man goes on field research into the world of appealing Dutch subcultures. With a wink to the classical ethnologist, dressed in a three-piece suit with a bow tie, he analyzes the man as one of the animal groups.
