Top 10 Places in Normandy, France according to DK
10. Giverny
Giverny is a small French village 80 km to the west of the capital city Paris, within the valley of the river Seine and the northern region of Upper Normandy. The village is best known as the rural retreat of the Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840-1926). Most attractions are closed for winter (November-March).
9. Pays d'Auge
The Pays d'Auge is an area in Normandy, straddling the départements of Calvados and Orne. The chief town is Lisieux. The landscape of this area is considered typical of Normandy—agricultural and producing dairy produce and apples. It is noted for its cheeses, especially Camembert, a place in Pays d'Auge, Livarot and Pont-l'Évêque, also names of villages.
8. D-Day Beaches
The D-Day beaches are the historic site of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of western Europe during World War II. An excellent time to visit is on the June 6th anniversary when there are numerous memorial ceremonies to mark the occasion. A large number of reenactment groups attend, adding pageantry and atmosphere.
7. Deauville and La Cote Fleurie
Deauville is a fashionable seaside resort in the Calvados département of the region of Lower Normandy. With its race course, harbour, international film festival, marinas, conference centre, villas, Grand Casino and sumptuous hotels, Deauville is regarded as the queen of the Norman beaches and one of the most prestigious seaside resorts in all of France.
6. Caen
Caen is the capital of Lower Normandy and of Calvados département in northern France and has a population of 115,000. Caen is a college city and thus very active. In summer, tourists gather in Normandy for Second World War remains and the Memorial for Peace. Caen is a modern city, four-fifths of which was demoiolished in 1944 and rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s.
5. Rouen Cathedral
Rouen is the capital of the French region of Upper Normandy and situated on the River Seine, approximately 90 minutes drive northwest from the centre of Paris. It is where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake, but the main reason for visiting is its incredible cathedral that inspired Monet to paint over 30 canvases. Rouen was the home of the author, Gustave Flaubert.
4. Abbaye de Jumieges
Jumièges Abbey was a Benedictine monastery, situated in the commune of Jumièges in the Seine-Maritime département in Normandy. In 654 the abbey was founded on a gift of forested land belonging to the royal fisc presented by Clovis II and his queen, Balthild, to the Frankish nobleman Filibertus, who had been the companion of Saints Ouen and Wandrille at the Merovingian court of Dagobert I.
3. Honfleur
Honfleur is a town surrounding a beautiful little 17th-century harbor in Calvados, Lower Normandy. The town has preserved many historic and traditional buildings and houses some interesting museums, churches and monuments. It is especially known for its old, beautiful picturesque port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists, including in particular Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet.
2. Bayeux Tapestry
Bayeux is a small town in northern France within the region of Lower Normandy. Bayeux is best known for the remarkable Bayeux Tapestry that chronicles in visual form the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, in 1066. Scenes include the Channel crossing, the Battle of Hastings (14 October 1066), the death of the Saxon English king Harold and the subsequent coronation of Duke William as King of England.
1. Mont-St-Michel
Mont Saint-Michel is a small UNESCO World Heritage site located on an island just off the coast of the region of Lower Normandy in northern France. The island is best known as the site of the spectacular and well-preserved Norman Benedictine Abbey of St Michel at the peak of the rocky island, surrounded by the winding streets and convoluted architecture of the medieval town.

This deli smokes 2,000 pounds of brisket per day
There are still dozens of Jewish restaurants in the New York area, but in the city’s iconic Jewish neighborhood – the Lower East Side – only one deli remains.
In Montreal, however, delis are thriving (despite the fact that Montreal has less than 100,000 Jews and New York has more than 1 million), partially in thanks to Celine Dion, who showed the Power of Love when she saved Montreal’s most famous deli, Schwartz’s, All By Herself, stepping in to partner up with the owners in late 2016.
When it comes to Montreal deli, the smoked meat sandwich towers above all else. Literally and figuratively. Smoked meat is basically the pastrami of Montreal, and the smoked meat-versus-pastrami debate is a lot less relevant than bagel war. Let’s be honest: Unless you have an incredibly discerning palate, which of the two you prefer probably has a lot less to do with actual taste and a lot more to do with either nostalgia, arbitrary allegiance, or whatever experience you happen to be having while eating.
It’s absolutely delicious, and places like Schwartz’s have been doing it the same way for decades, so it’s like taking a bite of tradition.

Places to see in ( Quiberon - France )
Places to see in ( Quiberon - France )
Quiberon is a town and a peninsula on the southern coast of the Finistère department of western Brittany, near Carnac. The peninsula is 14 kilometres long and connected to mainland France by little more than a bank of sand with a road across it, with the entrance to the peninsula being overlooked by the 19th century Fort de Penthièvre. Although there are few important monuments in the town of Quiberon it is pleasant to explore: your visit will be centred around the port and on the long sandy beach in the town itself. This main beach is almost one kilometre long and called La Grande Plage.
Behind the beach you can see various grand villas dating from the time that Quiberon became established as a resort at the end of the 19th century, when trainlines first arrived here, as well as some more recent developments. In the town behind the beach you can see typical low Brittany whitewashed houses and shops, and the 12th century Church of Notre-Dame de Locmaria. There is also a small museum dedicated to the history of the Quiberon peninsula, called the Maison du Patrimoine (on rue de Port Haliguen in the town centre). There are two ports here: Port Maria, where the fishing fleet is based and from where you can take excursions to the nearby islands, and Port Haliguen, which is the port for pleasure boats. The castle you can see on a headland is called Chateau Turpault and was built in 1910 - it is not open to the public.
The Quiberon peninsula is a very popular seaside resort in the summer, and has some attractive beaches on the sheltered eastern coast. The most popular beaches (apart from the beach in Quiberon town) are those at Saint-Pierre and Penthievre. At Saint-Pierre-de-Quiberon you can also visit the menhirs (the town lies at the southern end of the 'Coast of megaliths' which runs south from Carnac on to the peninsula).
Head to the most southerly point on the peninsula, called the Pointe du Conguel, for the best view across the to the islands in Quiberon Bay. Pointe de Percho at the north-west of the peninsula is also well worth visiting for the views across to the islands of Belle-Ile and Groix.
The western coast of the peninsula is altogether more dramatic and a popular site with walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. While the coast here is very pleasant to explore on foot or by bike, there is also a road that follows this western part of Quiberon and incorporates numerous stopping places, so it is still easy to enjoy the scenery. Include Kervihan, Kerné and Kerniscop for some of the most dramatic scenery. The other main reason that Quiberon attracts visitors is because ferries to the popular islands of Belle-Ile, Ile de Houat and Ile de Hoedic leave from the port here.
( Quiberon - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Quiberon . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Quiberon - France

Jerusalem of Gold - Yerushalayim shel Zahav -Ofra Haza- with English Lyrics
Jerusalem of Gold (Hebrew: ירושלים של זהב, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav) is a popular Israeli song written by Naomi Shemer in 1967. The original song described the Jewish people's 2000-year longing to return to Jerusalem; Shemer added a final verse after the Six-Day War to celebrate Jerusalem's unification under Israeli control.
At that time, the Old City was under Jordanian rule; Jews had been barred from entering, and many holy sites had been desecrated. Only three weeks after the song was published, the Six-Day War broke out. The song was the battle cry and morale booster of the Israeli troops. Shemer even sang it for them before the war and festival, making them among the first in the world to hear it. On 7 June, the Israel Defense Forces captured the eastern part of Jerusalem and the Old City from the Jordanians. When Shemer heard the paratroopers singing Jerusalem of Gold at the Western Wall, she wrote a final verse, reversing the phrases of lamentation found in the second verse. The line about shofars sounding from the Temple Mount is a reference to an event that actually took place on 7 June.
This beautiful version is from the late OFRA HAZA.

Icing down Jerusalem
The capital city's first Ice Festival was a cool introduction to spring for the thousands of tourists and Israelis who donned parkas in April.
The first Jerusalem Ice Festival, running through March and April, took 30 expert sculptors from Harbin, China, two months to create.
The idea of an ice festival in the Middle East is definitely out of the box, and its creators wanted it to make a splash.
This is the biggest indoor ice festival in the world, says producer Sharon Shalev. We brought 7,000 blocks of ice, says Shalev. Three kinds: crystallized, white ice and color ice.
The sculptures were set up in a 1,500-square-meter space near Jerusalem's historic old train station, and kept at a steady minus-10 degrees Centigrade. Parkas were handed out to those who bought tickets.
The exhibit proved so popular with Israelis and Passover and Easter tourists that some visitors had to be turned away during the peak days of the holiday.
