Aachen, Germany - 22nd July 2012

By: iloveletters

We are on our way to holidays in France. But because the way is so long we took a first stop in west Germany, in Aachen.

The town hall

and the market square

Epernay, France - 23rd July 2012

By: iloveletters

Our first stop in France was Epernay in the region of Champagne.

We took a walk through the streets, saw the town hall

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/YoYo/P1020764.jpg

and walked along Avenue de Champagne with all the wine cellars.

And of course we visited a cellar and tasted Champaign.

So many bottles!

Amiens, France - 24th July 2012

Did you know that Jules Verne was born in Nantes but lived in Amiens for a long time?
We visited his house in Amiens with all the history about his novels like 'Around the world in 80 days'.

Normandy, France - 26th July 2012

By: iloveletters

We spent some days in Normandy and visited a lot of places related to the 2nd world war and D-Day.

Arromanches for example with the D-Day museum and you can still see leftovers of the embarkment.

And then  we visited Omaha Beach. Nowadays a lovely place for swimming and sun bathing. Only some information boards and the monument remind us of the war time.

St. Pol de Leon, France - 28th July 2012

By: iloveletters

The journey lead us to Brittany the next days. First we stayed in the north in the lovely sea side town St. Pol de Leon. We relaxed on the beach, though the water was very cold with only 16°C, brrrr. We went for walks in the mudd at low tide and went on a boat trip.

Standing stones whereever you look. big, small, thin...
People are still not sure why their ancestors put them there: religious reasons, military reasons.... no idea.

Clisson, France - 30th July 2012

By: iloveletters

Near Nantes we visted the castle in Clisson and the house La Garenne Lemot. Unfortunately it was a very rainy and foggy day.

And most surprisingly the biscuit  company LU shows their ads and pictures in an exhibition there.

La Rochelle's landmark are the two towers in the old harbour.

Amboise, France - 3rd August 2012

By: iloveletters

There are many lovely castles in the Loire Valley.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/YoYo/P1030317.jpg

We went to Amboise.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/YoYo/P1030323.jpg

It is interesting that Leonardo da Vinci also lived here for 3 years. He was invited to move here from Italy and lived in the Chateau du Clos Lucé before he died.
I love the exhibition on his models of flying machines, military machines and so on.

There is a hill, and an easy way to get up and down it (when it isn't too windy) - by cable car.It can get windy - do you see the wind turbines out at sea?
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ss0wEywfm4w/UEozEl204QI/AAAAAAAAHEY/3vCw3C-udds/s500/cable3.jpg
Another easy way is up via the tram.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-IAoXSlRKhYE/UEozRF7L5zI/AAAAAAAAHEw/zFN40acXZoY/s500/cable6.jpg
One is going up, and another is coming down.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jVlDpdmsFN0/UEozc3lBDKI/AAAAAAAAHFI/KOs_3yyj08I/s500/cable9.jpg
The sea is calm.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-NZ7TrbL0eLI/UEozhr575SI/AAAAAAAAHFQ/RpAq-it--2w/s500/cable10.jpg
There's the tram again.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k4BkzpWwZYk/UEozmp9eTfI/AAAAAAAAHFY/LeE72-L-NZk/s500/cable11.jpg
There's the offshore windfarm.

There is Llandudno pier.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oWAI0J_JPJE/UEoz-wHNsPI/AAAAAAAAHGI/pyXUROS3maQ/s500/cable17.jpg
There is a dry ski slope, and a toboggan run.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-IeD-ypPTcBY/UEo0IIFHvfI/AAAAAAAAHGY/FJ5iQVg7j6g/s500/cable19.jpg
There's a rubber ring thing too.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6nTJ6051raA/UEo0PYvUz9I/AAAAAAAAHGo/KS2utshBIuA/s500/cable21.jpg
The pier is getting closer.
