Tour de France en Trottinette - Dijon
------------------- Tour de France en Trottinette électrique -----------------
Ville : Dijon
A travers ce circuit nous avons visité Dijon, en passant par le Parc des Carrières Bacquin, Monument Sadi Carnot Place de la République, La Poste, Grand Theatre, Le Bistrot de la Scene, Planetarium Hubert Curien, Parc des Argentières, Parc du Suzon - Jardin Japonais, Église du Sacré Coeur, Église Saint-Philibert, Théâtre Dijon Bourgogne...
Nous avons aussi parcouru son centre ville, sa gare routière, ses rues commerçantes et goûter à leur spécialité locale : la moutarde de Dijon.
Notre projet : Visiter la France en trottinette électrique.
En 9 mois nous avons décidé de faire un marathon des grandes (et moins grandes) villes de France. Nous en avons parcouru plus de quarante. En espérant que cette série de vidéos pourra en inspirer d'autres à faire comme nous : visiter ce beau territoire qu'est la France, ou vous aiguiller sur votre prochaine destination le temps d'un week-end :)
Château de Vizille (Isère)
Visite au Château de Vizille - Le château de Vizille (Isère) est le plus grand et prestigieux château du Dauphiné -Il a été aménagé au début du XVIIe s. par François de Bonne (1543-1626), duc de Lesdiguières, gouverneur de la province delphinale, compagnon d'armes d'Henri IV et dernier connétable de France. À la fin du XVIIIe s., un entreprenant bourgeois de la région, Claude Perier, acheta le château délaissé aux descendants des Lesdiguières et installa une manufacture d'impression sur tissu. Le 21 juillet 1788, il accepta de recevoir dans la salle du jeu de paume du vieux château aristocratique l'assemblée des trois ordres de la province (Réunion des États généraux du Dauphiné), interdite de réunion à Grenoble. Propriété jusqu'en 1895 de l'influente famille Perier connue pour son engagement politique au sein de la bourgeoisie libérale, le domaine passa ensuite entre plusieurs mains privées avant d'être acquis par l'État en 1924, conformément à un vœu national. Il s'agissait de sauver du démembrement ce qui était devenu un haut lieu d'histoire et de tradition républicaine honoré par les visites familiales, amicales, officielles ou militantes de La Fayette, Casimir Perier, Adolphe Thiers, Sadi Carnot et Jean Jaurès. 5 Présidents de la République y séjournèrent de 1925 à 1960, en particulier Albert Lebrun et René Coty qui y passa l'été de 1954 à 1958.
Le domaine, peu utilisé en définitive, fut cédé au Conseil général de l'Isère en 1973. En 1983, anticipant sur la célébration du bicentenaire de la Révolution française, le musée de la Révolution française de Vizille prit place dans les différentes salles du château. Le château est daté de 1600 et 1619. Le château lui-même a été classé par liste monument historique en 1862 puis le moulin, la maison proches et le mur entourant le domaine ont été partiellement inscrits en 1989, enfin la cour d'honneur et le parc ont été classés le 23 août 1992.
Le site du domaine départemental de Vizille est le premier lieu touristique de l'Isère .

SUMMARY
=======
France (French: [fʁɑ̃s]), officially the French Republic (French: République française; French pronunciation: [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a country whose territory consists of metropolitan France in Western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The metropolitan area of France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered by Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany to the northeast, Switzerland and Italy to the east, and Andorra and Spain to the south. The overseas territories include French Guiana in South America and several islands in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. The country's 18 integral regions (five of which are situated overseas) span a combined area of 643,801 square kilometres (248,573 sq mi) and a total population of 67.3 million (as of October 2018). France, a sovereign state, is a unitary semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major urban areas include Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lille and Nice.
During the Iron Age, what is now metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. Rome annexed the area in 51 BC, holding it until the arrival of Germanic Franks in 476, who formed the Kingdom of France. France emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages following its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453). During the Renaissance, French culture flourished and a global colonial empire was established, which by the 20th century would become the second largest in the world. The 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots). France became Europe's dominant cultural, political, and military power in the 17th century under Louis XIV. In the late 18th century, the French Revolution overthrew the absolute monarchy, established one of modern history's earliest republics, and saw the drafting of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day.
In the 19th century, Napoleon took power and established the First French Empire. His subsequent Napoleonic Wars shaped the course of continental Europe. Following the collapse of the Empire, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments culminating with the establishment of the French Third Republic in 1870. France was a major participant in World War I, from which it emerged victorious, and was one of the Allies in World War II, but came under occupation by the Axis powers in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, was formed in 1958 and remains today. Algeria and nearly all the other colonies became independent in the 1960s and typically retained close economic and military connections with France.
France has long been a global centre of art, science, and philosophy. It hosts the world's fourth-largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is the leading tourist destination, receiving around 83 million foreign visitors annually. France is a developed country with the world's seventh-largest economy by nominal GDP, and tenth-largest by purchasing power parity. In terms of aggregate household wealth, it ranks fourth in the world. France performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, and human development. France is considered a great power in global affairs, being one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council with the power to veto and an official nuclear-weapon state. It is a leading member state of the European Union and the Eurozone, and a member of the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and La Francophonie.
