French town. Bashny.Net

We say France - mean Paris. For many, these two words are almost the same. Yes, Paris - a wonderful city! Not so, of course, that would have to "see and die", but to see all still worth it! Be near the Eiffel Tower in the evening that would be cocked his head to see it ...





Climb the tower itself, to the top, to open a view of Paris at night ...



Or this ...



Walk along the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe ...



Climb to the Montmartre that would see the city on the other hand, have the day ...



See the famous artists of Montmartre ...



... And its famous streets ...



Then go down to the frivolous Pigalle



... And the Boulevard de Clichy to the famous Moulin Rouge (a "Red Mill»)



Visit Pere Lachaise Cemetery, with a well-known, on history textbooks, Communards' Wall ...



Walk over the River Seine, surprised the bridge of Alexander the 2nd. Yes, yes, in honor of the Russian tsar!



Of course, to admire the Louvre, and it is better to visit it ...



Walk to the Notre Dame de Paris, "they are even the Notre Dame Cathedral» ...



And then, poring over old quarters, suddenly surprised to find this! Centre Pompidou. Ugliness? Many think so. Probably right. But it is the largest free public library, and not only ...



In Paris you can walk for a long time, and posts about Paris, you can not do one or two! It is of course worth it! But my position that France is not just Paris. I want to show a few more places, not so well-known Russian tourists but no less interesting.
For example, the town of Sarlat (Sarlat), When the question of reconstruction of this ancient city, and it was built in the Middle Ages, most of the buildings in the central part there are still 13 th century, have decided to leave it at that and turn it into a city - Museum. But while the city lives! There are people!



Of course, living in a city is not easy! This imposes certain obligations. For example, here you will not see on the houses of any satellite dish or air conditioning. But the atmosphere!



And these streets! It seems that here now and proskachut by d'Artagnan with friends. How would a horse they do not get caught! Narrowly!



But the boundary of the old city. The pinnacle in the background - the executioner's house.



Incidentally, the Musketeers! Remember, at the end of the novel, they all still distracted from the palace intrigues and went to do his own thing right, that is to fight. Namely, to besiege the fortress of La Rochelle, where sat the Huguenots. Here it is, this fortress, in the same city on the Atlantic coast.



And here is another small town on the Atlantic coast. Small Capbreton (Capbretonne).



Vast beaches and small homes. Nothing special, quiet, calm.



But Lourdes. (Lourdes) So it looks like one of the closest Pyrenean peaks.



In the middle of visible ancient fortress. And yet, it is the most sacred of all Catholics. Here, according to legend, a young shepherdess she was the Virgin Mary, then this place has scored a miraculous spring. Now that spring is such a towering cathedral, and Catholics from around the world dream to visit this place.



From Lourdes, very close to another interesting town - By (Pau). There is the castle of King Henry 4th, the main events of the novel Dumas 'Queen Margot' took place here.



Here is a cozy little town. The capital of the department of Pyrenees-Atlantiques.



Here's another city - museum. Domme (Domme). Here is the gateway to the city.



Trailers to carry tourists who leave their cars at special parking, and the city people live for their cars allowed to enter.



Can we stop for the night here in this hotel, which remembers and knights and musketeers and God knows who!



60 kilometers by car and get here in this city. Called Rakamadu (Racamadour) Old buildings are literally built into the rock.



That church, which is also very well known in the Catholic world. There is an ancient sculpture of the Madonna of ebony - the Black Madonna.



That street, again with housing!



Well, visit Carcassonne (Carcassone) - this is a must! The largest fortress in Europe. Here it can be seen on the way.



And so close to the walls look ...



And inside the city's neighborhoods. And again, not just muzeё and residential buildings, cafes, restaurants, hotels.



And another town, past which you can not pass without stopping, and visit the castle, which was founded more already in 9 century! It is called the city of Foix (Foix)



But the view of the city from the castle walls ...
