Nancy, a riverside town known for its late Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture, some of which date back to its time as the capital of the Dukes of Lorraine.
The main attraction is the 18th-century Place Stanislas. This square with gilded wrought-iron gates and Rococo fountains is located next to ornate palaces and churches in the historic old town. It has a side length of 106 x 124 meters.
Wine flows from the fountains when Stanislas inaugurates one of the most beautiful squares in the world in 1755, making Nancy the city with the "golden gates". This square alone is worth a trip.
Place Stanislas, along with the Carrière and Alliance squares and the Arc de Triomphe, is part of an 18th-century ensemble that was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.

a month agoSuper cute parking space right on the Loire with lots of beautiful trees (be careful, it's shady and for those who care: very poor to no satellite reception! 😉). The parking space is quite compact, which means you should be able to drive with a larger vehicle. I would recommend the space up to a maximum of 8.50 m! We have 8.30 m, so the height of 3.65 m was the bigger problem.😉 Access is easy and cashless via a terminal, the streets that lead to the parking space are sometimes very narrow (especially when there are cars parked there...)! I can't say anything about any sanitary facilities as we don't need any. It's about 6 km from the site to the old town of Orleans, easy to cycle back - but it's better to take the illuminated main road when you're back in the dark and not rely on Google Maps, otherwise you'll be driving in pitch darkness or suddenly find yourself in front of a steep staircase!🫣2 months agoBeautiful, quiet parking spot by the water. Electricity, water, disposal on site. 11.20 including tourist tax. Cycle along the water to Orleans, about 5km. Great.

Blois Castle (French: Château Royal de Blois) is one of the castles of the Loire. It stands on a mountain spur on the right bank of the Loire in the French city of Blois in the Loir-et-Cher department. Because it was the residence of the French kings under the French ruling houses of Valois and Orléans from 1498 to 1589 and combines buildings from four eras in one complex, it is one of the most famous Loire castles.
Built in the 10th century by the Counts of Blois as a fortified tower on a rocky plateau, it was gradually expanded into a castle complex by the 13th century. The last Count of Blois sold it to the Valois ruling dynasty at the end of the 14th century.
The kings Louis XII and Francis I used the buildings as their main residence and had numerous renovations and extensions carried out. The last structural changes to the castle were made in the 17th century according to plans by the architect François Mansart, but after that it gradually sank into insignificance.
After the buildings were plundered and damaged during the French Revolution, they were extensively restored from 1845 onwards. Blois Castle was thus the first Loire castle to be restored after the Revolution and served as a model for the restoration of almost all of the castles in the Loire Valley known today, such as Azay-le-Rideau Castle, Chenonceau Castle and Amboise Castle. Since then, it has been used as a museum.

Chaumont Castle is located southwest of the city of Blois in the French commune of Chaumont-sur-Loire in the Loir-et-Cher department in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Perched on a steep slope high above the Loire, it forms the backdrop to the village, whose houses line the river bank in a long row.
Despite the open north side, Chaumont Castle gives the typical impression of a late stately fortress. The oldest parts are the north wing, which has now disappeared, as well as the west wing, the large Amboise Tower and the first adjoining vaulted area of the south wing. Everything shows a Gothic defensive style typical of the 15th century, with battlements, machicolations, drawbridge and dry moat.
The fortress of Chaumont Chaumont sur Loire was built around the year 1000.
After its destruction, the castle was rebuilt in Renaissance style in 1465.
A so-called "English Garden" characterizes the image of the castle park.

Tours is a university town between the French rivers Cher and Loire. Once a Gallo-Roman settlement, Tours is now a traditional base for exploring the castles of the Loire Valley. A major landmark is the Cathedral of Saint-Gatien, whose striking Gothic façade is flanked by towers with a 12th-century base and Renaissance spires.
Story:
In pre-Roman times, the Celtic Turones settled on a hill on the right bank of the Loire, which the Romans later called Caesarodunum (Caesar's Hill).
In 732, Charles Martel defeated the Moors in the Battle of Tours and Poitiers, killing the Moors' leader, Abd ar-Rahman. This victory by Charles Martel prevented the Islamic sphere of influence from spreading further. Under Charlemagne, Tours was the centre of the Carolingian Renaissance with important book illumination and the school of Alcuin, an abbot of Saint-Martin de Tours, who gave the first lectures on theology and philosophy here at the end of the 8th century.

Since the city was largely undamaged in the Second World War, the historic old town has also been preserved. The most important are the Gallo-Roman city wall, which was built towards the end of the 3rd century and is remarkably well preserved, as well as the Saint-Julien Cathedral in the Romanesque-Gothic style, the Notre-Dame de la Couture church from the 13th and 14th centuries, the Musée de Tessé, the Maison d'Adam et Ève, the Hôtel de Clairaulnay and the Hôtel de Vaux. Remains of the royal Benedictine abbey of St-Vincent, built in 572 and destroyed in the Revolution, are occupied by the Lycée Bellevue.
The track of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is located in the immediate vicinity. The Sarthe Departmental Automobile Museum has been located in the interior of the track since 1991. Among the more than 100 vehicles on display are the winning cars of the race, including a Bentley (winner in 1924) and a Ferrari (winner in 1949). In the pedestrian zone of Le Mans, successful drivers have left their hand and footprints on brass plates in the road surface and on a fountain.
Jean-Paul Rappeneau chose the old town as the setting for Cyrano de Bergerac * with Gérard Depardieu. In 1997, Philippe de Broca shot his swashbuckling film Le Bossu * with Daniel Auteuil in Le Mans.
Charlotte Brändström came to Le Mans for Julie, Chevalier de Maupin (Julie - the King's Agent*) with Pierre Arditi. Leonardo di Caprio was one of the leading actors in the Hollywood film The Man in the Iron Mask* in Le Mans in 1998.
The Office de Tourisme has compiled a list of other films that were shot in Le Mans. Today, Le Mans is the most popular filming location in French cinema!

The most important are the Gallo-Roman city wall, which was built towards the end of the 3rd century and is remarkably well preserved, as well as the Saint-Julien Cathedral in the Romanesque-Gothic style, the Notre-Dame de la Couture church from the 13th and 14th centuries, the Musée de Tessé, the Maison d'Adam et Ève, the Hôtel de Clairaulnay and the Hôtel de Vaux. Remains of the royal Benedictine abbey of St-Vincent, built in 572 and destroyed in the Revolution, are occupied by the Lycée Bellevue.
The track of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is located in the immediate vicinity. The Sarthe Departmental Automobile Museum has been located in the interior of the track since 1991. Among the more than 100 vehicles on display are the winning cars of the race, including a Bentley (winner in 1924) and a Ferrari (winner in 1949). In the pedestrian zone of Le Mans, successful drivers have left their hand and footprints on brass plates in the road surface and on a fountain.
Jean-Paul Rappeneau chose the old town as the setting for Cyrano de Bergerac * with Gérard Depardieu. In 1997, Philippe de Broca shot his swashbuckling film Le Bossu * with Daniel Auteuil in Le Mans.
Charlotte Brändström came to Le Mans for Julie, Chevalier de Maupin (Julie - the King's Agent*) with Pierre Arditi. Leonardo di Caprio was one of the leading actors in the Hollywood film The Man in the Iron Mask* in Le Mans in 1998.

One of the most beautiful places in France, which has inspired many landscape painters, L'Isle-Adam is a true green jewel to discover just a few kilometres from Paris. Situated on the banks of the Oise, this village in the Val d'Oise, with its seaside resort and beautiful buildings, has a lot to offer people looking for walks and discoveries.
Voted the most pleasant city in France in 2019, the town of L'Isle-Adam is located in the Val-d'Oise department and was once one of the favorite destinations of wealthy Parisians looking for fresh air and green nature. Founded in ancient times, the town became famous mainly because of some celebrities, such as the painter Fragonard or the writer Balzac, who wanted to turn the town into a "little Versailles".
The pretty little town of L'Isle-Adam, located on the edge of the forest, is today known not only for its green spaces, but also for its quality of life and its famous river beach. This beach, created in 1895, is the largest river beach in France. The charming cabins from that time, the fine sandy beach and the pools give it a real seaside resort atmosphere.

Nancy, a riverside town known for its late Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture, some of which date back to its time as the capital of the Dukes of Lorraine.
The main attraction is the 18th-century Place Stanislas. This square with gilded wrought-iron gates and Rococo fountains is located next to ornate palaces and churches in the historic old town. It has a side length of 106 x 124 meters.
Wine flows from the fountains when Stanislas inaugurates one of the most beautiful squares in the world in 1755, making Nancy the city with the "golden gates". This square alone is worth a trip.
Place Stanislas, along with the Carrière and Alliance squares and the Arc de Triomphe, is part of an 18th-century ensemble that was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.

a month agoSuper cute parking space right on the Loire with lots of beautiful trees (be careful, it's shady and for those who care: very poor to no satellite reception! 😉). The parking space is quite compact, which means you should be able to drive with a larger vehicle. I would recommend the space up to a maximum of 8.50 m! We have 8.30 m, so the height of 3.65 m was the bigger problem.😉 Access is easy and cashless via a terminal, the streets that lead to the parking space are sometimes very narrow (especially when there are cars parked there...)! I can't say anything about any sanitary facilities as we don't need any. It's about 6 km from the site to the old town of Orleans, easy to cycle back - but it's better to take the illuminated main road when you're back in the dark and not rely on Google Maps, otherwise you'll be driving in pitch darkness or suddenly find yourself in front of a steep staircase!🫣2 months agoBeautiful, quiet parking spot by the water. Electricity, water, disposal on site. 11.20 including tourist tax. Cycle along the water to Orleans, about 5km. Great.

Blois Castle (French: Château Royal de Blois) is one of the castles of the Loire. It stands on a mountain spur on the right bank of the Loire in the French city of Blois in the Loir-et-Cher department. Because it was the residence of the French kings under the French ruling houses of Valois and Orléans from 1498 to 1589 and combines buildings from four eras in one complex, it is one of the most famous Loire castles.
Built in the 10th century by the Counts of Blois as a fortified tower on a rocky plateau, it was gradually expanded into a castle complex by the 13th century. The last Count of Blois sold it to the Valois ruling dynasty at the end of the 14th century.
The kings Louis XII and Francis I used the buildings as their main residence and had numerous renovations and extensions carried out. The last structural changes to the castle were made in the 17th century according to plans by the architect François Mansart, but after that it gradually sank into insignificance.
After the buildings were plundered and damaged during the French Revolution, they were extensively restored from 1845 onwards. Blois Castle was thus the first Loire castle to be restored after the Revolution and served as a model for the restoration of almost all of the castles in the Loire Valley known today, such as Azay-le-Rideau Castle, Chenonceau Castle and Amboise Castle. Since then, it has been used as a museum.

Chaumont Castle is located southwest of the city of Blois in the French commune of Chaumont-sur-Loire in the Loir-et-Cher department in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Perched on a steep slope high above the Loire, it forms the backdrop to the village, whose houses line the river bank in a long row.
Despite the open north side, Chaumont Castle gives the typical impression of a late stately fortress. The oldest parts are the north wing, which has now disappeared, as well as the west wing, the large Amboise Tower and the first adjoining vaulted area of the south wing. Everything shows a Gothic defensive style typical of the 15th century, with battlements, machicolations, drawbridge and dry moat.
The fortress of Chaumont Chaumont sur Loire was built around the year 1000.
After its destruction, the castle was rebuilt in Renaissance style in 1465.
A so-called "English Garden" characterizes the image of the castle park.

Tours is a university town between the French rivers Cher and Loire. Once a Gallo-Roman settlement, Tours is now a traditional base for exploring the castles of the Loire Valley. A major landmark is the Cathedral of Saint-Gatien, whose striking Gothic façade is flanked by towers with a 12th-century base and Renaissance spires.
Story:
In pre-Roman times, the Celtic Turones settled on a hill on the right bank of the Loire, which the Romans later called Caesarodunum (Caesar's Hill).
In 732, Charles Martel defeated the Moors in the Battle of Tours and Poitiers, killing the Moors' leader, Abd ar-Rahman. This victory by Charles Martel prevented the Islamic sphere of influence from spreading further. Under Charlemagne, Tours was the centre of the Carolingian Renaissance with important book illumination and the school of Alcuin, an abbot of Saint-Martin de Tours, who gave the first lectures on theology and philosophy here at the end of the 8th century.

Since the city was largely undamaged in the Second World War, the historic old town has also been preserved. The most important are the Gallo-Roman city wall, which was built towards the end of the 3rd century and is remarkably well preserved, as well as the Saint-Julien Cathedral in the Romanesque-Gothic style, the Notre-Dame de la Couture church from the 13th and 14th centuries, the Musée de Tessé, the Maison d'Adam et Ève, the Hôtel de Clairaulnay and the Hôtel de Vaux. Remains of the royal Benedictine abbey of St-Vincent, built in 572 and destroyed in the Revolution, are occupied by the Lycée Bellevue.
The track of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is located in the immediate vicinity. The Sarthe Departmental Automobile Museum has been located in the interior of the track since 1991. Among the more than 100 vehicles on display are the winning cars of the race, including a Bentley (winner in 1924) and a Ferrari (winner in 1949). In the pedestrian zone of Le Mans, successful drivers have left their hand and footprints on brass plates in the road surface and on a fountain.
Jean-Paul Rappeneau chose the old town as the setting for Cyrano de Bergerac * with Gérard Depardieu. In 1997, Philippe de Broca shot his swashbuckling film Le Bossu * with Daniel Auteuil in Le Mans.
Charlotte Brändström came to Le Mans for Julie, Chevalier de Maupin (Julie - the King's Agent*) with Pierre Arditi. Leonardo di Caprio was one of the leading actors in the Hollywood film The Man in the Iron Mask* in Le Mans in 1998.
The Office de Tourisme has compiled a list of other films that were shot in Le Mans. Today, Le Mans is the most popular filming location in French cinema!

Situated on the banks of the Oise, this village in the Val d'Oise, with its seaside resort and beautiful buildings, has a lot to offer people looking for walks and discoveries.
Voted the most pleasant city in France in 2019, the town of L'Isle-Adam is located in the Val-d'Oise department and was once one of the favorite destinations of wealthy Parisians looking for fresh air and green nature. Founded in ancient times, the town became famous mainly because of some celebrities, such as the painter Fragonard or the writer Balzac, who wanted to turn the town into a "little Versailles".
The pretty little town of L'Isle-Adam, located on the edge of the forest, is today known not only for its green spaces, but also for its quality of life and its famous river beach. This beach, created in 1895, is the largest river beach in France. The charming cabins from that time, the fine sandy beach and the pools give it a real seaside resort atmosphere.
