Places to see in ( Hendaye - France )
Hendaye is the last town that you come to before reaching Spain when travelling along the coast of south-west France, known as the Cote d'Argent. The town stands on the right bank of the Bidassoa river that marks the frontier with Spain. The small island in the river, the Ile des Faisans, was an important border location for several centuries, culminating in the Treaty of the Pyrenees being signed on the island in 1659. The Treaty finally brought to an end the centuries of conflict between France and Spain in the border regions. One curious result - the island itself (which is uninhabited) alternates every six months between being French territory and Spanish territory.
Hendaye has been a historically important frontier town for many centuries and is more of a year-round town than many along the coast. The resort part of Hendaye has a long sandy beach that is popular with sunbathers and windsurfers alike. At the northern end of the beach there is a rocky promontory providing some shelter for the beach and an attractive backdrop. There are perhaps rather more high-rise apartments behind parts of the beach in Hendaye than in some of the more recently developed resorts further north up the coast, but there are also a good number of belle-epoque villas to be seen.
The more developed part of Hendaye seafront is to the east, while the traditional villas are mostly further west along the Boulevard de la Mer. A pedestrian promenade follows most of the length of the beach. There are also some features of historical interest in Hendaye such as the Great Cross of Hendaye in the main square. The church of Saint-Vincent, built in the 16th century, is the centre of the town. The unusual moorish style of the building that was originally Hendaye Casino is also interesting.
The pleasure and fishing port is also a pleasant place to explore: it is behind the town and beach in a small area in the large bay formed by the river estuary: just keep following the Boulevard de la Mer westwards and you will find it. The most interesting part of the town itself is on the hill behind the seafront, with views across the sea and also to the Pyrenees that start just inland.

Indeed, the Church of St John the Baptist was where the marriage of Louis XIV with the Infanta Maria Theresa of Spain was celebrated on 9 June, 1660.

POITIERS. Francia.
POITIERS. Francia.
Poitiers está situada a orillas del río Clain, en las cercanías de Poitou, sobre un lugar poco elevado que se halla entre el Macizo armoricano, al oeste y el Macizo Central al este, convirtiéndola, por tanto, en una vía de fácil comunicación entre la Cuenca parisina y la Cuenca Aquitana, a 342 kilómetros al sudoeste de París, 180 km de Nantes y a 224 Km de Burdeos.
Una situación privilegiada y un punto estratégico tanto comercial como militar.
Poitiers fue fundada por la tribu celta de los pictones Los romanos la acondicionaron en el siglo I de nuestra era, construyendo anfiteatros, varias termas y acueductos.
Es probable que, en el siglo II de nuestra Era, la ciudad fuera la capital de Auitania.
A finales del siglo III se construyó una gruesa muralla que rodeaba la ciudad.
San Hilario evangelizó la ciudad en el siglo IV.
La construcción del baptisterio de Sain-Jean se llevó a cabo en esa época.

France - Saint Jean Pied de Port: The city
The first place we stayed in the Pyrenees, was at Pension Maison Donamaria in the town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. We had five nights. The town lies in the Basque region of the Pyrenees. Here are soft green mountains and extremely clean and orderly. We love the house and the city.
T&A Channel - País Vasco Francés, Tierra de Mar
Esta vez T&A os traslada al País Vasco Francés. Lugares llenos de encanto con sabor marinero.
Ла-Рок-Гажак, Аквитания, Франция. La Roque-Gageac, Aquitaine, France
Дордонь, Аквитания. Второе большое путешествие по Франции, июль 2018 года. July 2018.
Ла-Рок-Гажак - удивительной красоты деревня, прилепившаяся к отвесной скале на берегу реки Дордонь. Очень маленькая — всего-то ряд домов, зажатых между скалами и рекой. Входит в Ассоциацию «Самые красивые деревни Франции» (Les Plus Beaux Villages de France) и даже выигрывала соревнование как «самая красивая деревня Франции».
Ла-Рок-Гажак классифирована 3-ей в списке лучших достопримечательностей Франции, уступая только Мон-Сен-Мишелю и Рокамадуру (в Мон-Сен-Мишеле мы побывали в 2014-м, а в Рокамадур отправились позже, потом сделаю фотоальбом). В этом месте первобытные люди и их прародители селились с доисторических времен – в пещерах над рекой. Изображения Ла-Рок-Гажака часто можно встретить на календарях и путеводителях по Франции.
Walking in the Pyrenees
