6. Fontevraud L'Abbaye RoyaleFontevraud L Abbaye The Royal Abbey of Our Lady of Fontevraud or Fontevrault was a monastery in the village of Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, near Chinon, in Anjou, France. It was founded in 1101 by the itinerant preacher Robert of Arbrissel. The foundation flourished and became the center of a new monastic Order, the Order of Fontevrault.

The Abbey of Fontevraud itself consisted of four separate communities, all completely managed by the same abbess. The first permanent structures were built between 1110 and 1119.

7. Chateau de LangeaisLangeais The Château de Langeais is a medieval castle in Indre-et-Loire, France, built on a promontory created by the small valley of the Roumer River at the opening to the Loire Valley. Founded in 992 by Fulk Nerra, Count of Anjou, the castle was soon attacked by Odo I, Count of Blois.

Train Driver's View: Malmö-Ängelholm
(English below)
Detta är resultatet av många timmars arbete... Jag har tidigare laddat upp den här sträckan på YouTube, men det finns flera förändringar: För det första är hela sträckan i en sammanhängande film. För det andra är upplösningen 1080p (tidigare 720p). För det tredje är filmen bättre färgkorrigerad.
För det fjärde, och viktigast, är filmen FULLPROPPAD med intressant information – om platserna vi passerar, om järnvägens historia och lite andra saker. Aktivera undertexterna för att ta del av den!
Helst hade jag velat ha en nyinspelning av sträckan, men det är för närvarande svårt att hitta lokförare som kan/vill erbjuda plats åt min kamera i förarhytten. Jag hoppas på bättre lycka i framtiden.
Jag jobbar även på att göra undertexter till mina andra tågfilmer här på YouTube. Ha tålamod – det tar tid! ;)

This is the result of many hours of work... I've uploaded this stretch previously on YouTube, but several changes have been made: First, the whole stretch can now be seen in a single movie. Second, the resolution is now 1080 (previously 720p). Third, this movie has better color correction.
Fourth, and most important, the movie is PACKED with interesting information – about the places we're passing, about railroad history and some other things. Activate the subtitles to read them!
I would have preferred to make a new recording of this stretch, but it's very hard at the moment to find train drivers willing/able to offer my video camera a place in their cabins. I'm hoping for better luck in the future.
I'm also working on creating subtitles to my other railroad videos here on YouTube. Be patient – it takes time! ;)
