NOYON | What to do in a day! And how to get locked inside a Gothic cathedral
From Gallo-Roman roots to a prestigious episcopal city - Noyon is rich in history. We discover its heritage and even get locked in its most emblematic building. This small city in Hauts-de-France is home to one of the seven biggest and oldest cathedrals of Picardie and carries an imprint of both World Wars.

Top reasons to visit the Franco-American Museum of Blérancourt in 2016
The story of the Franco-American Museum at the Château de Blérancourt in Picardy, France--which will reopen in the fall of 2016, is fascinating and heartwarming. Founded by Anne Morgan, daughter of JP Morgan, Blérancourt started out as her WWI HQ to assist in the recovery of devasted Picardy. The museum has been closed for nearly 10 year for an extensive renovation and addition of a new wing.
SOISSONS | What to do in a day!
Soissons is a city in Picardie (now Hauts-de-France region) that used to be under the Roman rule until Clovis I. He was the first king of Franks to unite all of the Frankish tribes under one rule. It is here where Roman Empire began being transformed, taking France into its new chapter. In this video we tour the Soissons, visit ancient crypt, abbey and cathedral. Join us on a virtual trip to this exceptional city in France.

Switzerland European country & also Schengen country. Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a west-central Europe. It is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north and Austria and to the east. The largest cities and economic centres, including Zurich, Geneva etc.
Capital city : Many people are surprised when they hear that pretty little Bern is the Swiss capital. Surely industrial Zurich or international Geneva would be more logical, they say. But it's precisely to avoid a concentration of power that Bern was chosen as the “federal city” exactly 170 years ago.

The town of Laon in France
A business trip almost brought me to the Atlantic Ocean in France. On the way back to Germany I was recommended to stop in Laon. Laon is a quite old city that sits on the only mountain of the whole area. So I drove there times past and made a small walk through the city.

Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Tournai | #travel #belgium
The Cathedral of Our Lady (French: Notre-Dame de Tournai, Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Doornik), or Tournai Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral, see of the Diocese of Tournai in Tournai, Belgium. It has been classified both as a Wallonia's major heritage since 1936[5] and as a World Heritage Site since 2000.
There was a diocese centered at Tournai from the late 6th century and this structure of local blue-gray stone occupies rising ground near the south bank of the Scheldt, which divides the city of Tournai into two roughly equal parts. Begun in the 12th century on even older foundations, the building combines the work of three design periods with striking effect, the heavy and severe character of the Romanesque nave contrasting remarkably with the transitional work of the transept and the fully developed Gothic of the choir. The transept is the most distinctive part of the building, with its cluster of five bell towers and apsidal (semicircular) ends.
The nave belongs mostly to the first third of the 12th century. Prefiguring the Early Gothic style, it has a second-tier gallery between the ground-floor arcade and the triforium. Pilasters between the round-arched windows in the clerestory help support the 18th-century vaulting that replaced the original ceiling, which was of wood, and flat.
The transept arms, built in about the mid-12th century, have apsidal ends, a feature borrowed in all probability from certain Rhenish churches, and which would appear to have made its influence felt in the north-east of France, as at Noyon and Soissons. The square towers that flank the transept arms reach a height of 83 metres (272 ft). They vary in detail, some of the arcade work with which they are enriched being in the round-arched and some in the pointed style.
West portico
Bishop Gautier de Marvis had the earlier Romanesque choir demolished in the 13th century, in order to replace it with a Gothic choir of much grander dimensions, inspired by the likes of Amiens Cathedral. The construction of the new choir began in 1242, and ended in 1255. The rest of the cathedral was supposed to be rebuilt in the same style as the choir, but this was never attempted, the only later additions being the western porch, and a large Gothic chapel which was built alongside one of the side aisles, whose original walls and windows disappeared in the process.
The rood screen is a Renaissance masterpiece by Flemish sculptor Cornelis Floris and dates from 1573.

Places to see in ( Bourges - France )
Places to see in ( Bourges - France )
Bourges is a city in central France known for its half-timbered houses. The grand, Gothic-style Bourges Cathedral features 13th-century stained-glass windows. Close by, the ornate Jacques Coeur Palace was the home of a 15th-century nobleman. Exhibits at the Musée du Berry include an Egyptian mummy, agricultural tools and Etruscan bronzes. Displays on evolution are among the highlights at the Natural History Museum.
Bourges is accessible by train from Paris Austerlitz in about 1 hour 45 minutes, or on the A71 motorway from Paris via Orleans. The cathedral of Saint Etienne, a UNESCO heritage site, dates from about 1200-1255. It's an exceptionally fine and most original work of French Gothic architecture, with double aisles and an immensely high nave. It has preserved almost all the original stained glass of its ambulatory, and some of the high windows of the choir. There are also some lovely later windows in the side chapels. The crypt and towers can be visited for an extra charge.
The Palais de Jacques Coeur was built from 1443-1450 by Jacques Coeur, the richest man in France and banker to Charles VII. It's a flamboyant work, highly decorated and punctuated by stair turrets and towers just like the castles in the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry - another Bourges inhabitant. The interior can only be visited on a guided tour, for which a charge is made.
The Marais, to the north of the historic centre, is an area of allotment gardens divided by canals. A walk all the way round will take you 2-3 hours and give you excellent views of the cathedral. Go at a weekend and you'll probably see some of the gardeners punting through the canals to their plots.
The whole city is full of lovely houses, some in half timber, others in the light stone that is characteristic of Bourges. Rue Bourbonnoux and Rue Coursalon are particularly worth visiting.
Palais des Echevins / Musee Esteve is another medieval mansion which borrows its vocabulary from the Palais Jacques Coeur, built 40 years earlier.
Musee de Berry - a free museum of local traditions, in another medieval mansion. Musee des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France - this museum, opposite the cathedral, displays works of craftsmanship which have been made for the MOF diploma. Currently (Jan 2007) it has a display of fine hand-made knives in the exhibition room. Free entry, and worth a look.
You can go to the 'Plan d'eau' which is an artificial lake to have a 6km-walk. It's also possible to use your bicycle or rollers around it on a lane separated from the road - it's relatively flat. In april, there is a music festival called 'Le Printemps de Bourges' where, during around 1 week, around 30 official concerts (prices varies) are given in the city (in several places, sometimes at the same time). The programme may be fetched in early March. During this period, most of the pubs and bars also have bands playing (for free) and the whole city gets a lot of animation.
( Bourges - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Bourges. Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Bourges - France

Places to see in ( Montpellier - France ) Cathedrale St Pierre
Montpellier Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in the city of Montpellier, France. The cathedral is a national monument, and the seat of the Archdiocese of Montpellier. It is in the Gothic architecture style.
The church was originally attached to the monastery of Saint-Benoît, which was founded in 1364. The building was elevated to the status of cathedral in 1536, when the see of Maguelonne was transferred to Montpellier. After the building suffered extensive damage during the Wars of Religion between Catholics and Protestants in the 16th century, it was rebuilt in the 17th.
Became Cathedral in 1536 when the archbishopric of Maguelone was transferred to Montpellier, Saint-Pierre was originally the chapel of the Benedictine monastery of St. Benedict. A must see: the porch, an imposing baldaquin supported by huge circular piers 4.55 m in diameter that once bore the coat of arms of Urban V, student and teacher in Montpellier, then named bishop before being elected pope in Avignon (1362).
Representative example of Southern Gothic, it is the only medieval church of the Ecusson having survived the wars of religion. Inside, a major work by Sébastien Bourdon takes you into the artistic life of Montpellier XVII century.

Gothic Church that took 500 years to finish! Saint Barbara
The Saint Barbara Church in Kutná Hora, Czech Republic, is a remarkable example of Gothic architecture and holds significant historical and cultural importance. Construction of the church began in 1388 and lasted for over 500 years, finally completing in the 19th century.
The church was dedicated to Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners, as Kutná Hora was a prosperous mining town during that time. Its construction was sponsored by the local mining guilds as a symbol of their wealth and power.
The church's design was elaborate and ambitious, featuring stunning vaulted ceilings, intricate stone tracery, and impressive stained glass windows. The original plans envisioned a grand structure similar to Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral, but due to various factors including wars, financial difficulties, and changing architectural styles, the church went through several modifications and interruptions in its construction.
Despite the challenges, the church's interior is awe-inspiring. It houses beautiful frescoes depicting scenes from the Bible, as well as a stunning Baroque altar and numerous sculptural works. The central nave is adorned with ribbed vaults, Gothic arches, and ornamentation that exude a sense of grandeur.
Today, the Saint Barbara Church is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts visitors from around the world. It stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of Kutná Hora, serving as a remarkable example of Gothic art and craftsmanship.
Cathedral of Reims (Notre Dame)
Here's a quick glimpse of the Cathedral of Reims in the Champagne Region of France. It has the same function as Westminster Abbey does in London. This is where all of the French Kings have been coronated and annointed since 1027.
