We are on a lovely little road in the 6 arrondissement, Rue Guisarde. And we are going to go to number 9 to la Bastide d'Opio, a lovely Provencal restaurant. Provence, a region in the south of France, is known for its cuisine. It is known to have one of the healthiest cuisines throughout the world. What distinguishes Provencal cuisine from other French cuisine is that it uses olive oil as the main ingredient to prepare the food, unlike other regions that tend to use cream and butter. And we are going to visit the Provencal restaurant, la Bastide d'Opio.
The name of the restaurant, the Bastide d'Opio, comes from the name of the village Opio that is located in Provence. It is in between Nice and Grasse. (Colors) are exactly what you would find on every Provencal house. Provencal cuisine evokes all the different flavors of a lovely, warm, sunny climate. Many things are cooked in olive oil with the Herbes de Provence and the sun vegetables like tomatoes. You have also got herbed bread, lots of basil, the pistou sauce.
If you are not sure what to order while you are here, you may want to take a look at the suggestion board. As an appetizer today they are recommending salmon. For the main dish they recommend today a rump steak in a pepper sauce. And the dessert looks really interesting. It is prunes that have been marinated in some type of orange liqueur. We specialize more so in fish, because it is a Mediterranean style of food with the sea, and the freshest ingredients possible. We serve very little meat, just some lamb and some beef.
This is really not an experience you are going to want to rush. In fact, you may want to order an aperitif before you have your food. So, I am going to try Pastis, it is the most famous aperitif perhaps of Provence. Its base is anise and you want to drink it with water as an aperitif. Thank you. Sante. This is Guenol, showing you Paris. Sante.
Places to see in ( Carcassonne - France )
Places to see in ( Carcassonne - France )
Carcassonne, a hilltop town in southern France’s Languedoc area, is famous for its medieval citadel, La Cité, with numerous watchtowers and double-walled fortifications. The first walls were built in Gallo-Roman times, with major additions made in the 13th and 14th centuries. Château Comtal, a 12th-century castle within the Cité, offers archaeological exhibits and a tour of the inner ramparts.
Carcassonne is a fortified French town in the Aude department, of which it is the prefecture, in the Region of Occitanie. Carcassonne is famous for the Cité de Carcassonne, a medieval fortress restored by the theorist and architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in 1853 and added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997. Consequently, Carcassonne relies heavily on tourism but also counts manufacture and wine-making as some of its other key economic sectors.
Carcassonne was demilitarised under Napoleon and the Restoration, and the fortified cité of Carcassonne fell into such disrepair that the French government decided that it should be demolished. A decree to that effect that was made official in 1849 caused an uproar. The antiquary and mayor of Carcassonne, Jean-Pierre Cros-Mayrevieille, and the writer Prosper Mérimée, the first inspector of ancient monuments, led a campaign to preserve the fortress as a historical monument. Later in the year the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, already at work restoring the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire, was commissioned to renovate the place.
In 1853, work began with the west and southwest walls, followed by the towers of the porte Narbonnaise and the principal entrance to the cité. The fortifications were consolidated here and there, but the chief attention was paid to restoring the roofing of the towers and the ramparts, where Viollet-le-Duc ordered the destruction of structures that had encroached against the walls, some of them of considerable age. Viollet-le-Duc left copious notes and drawings on his death in 1879, when his pupil Paul Boeswillwald and, later, the architect Nodet continued the rehabilitation of Carcassonne.
Another bridge, Pont Marengo, crosses the Canal du Midi and provides access to the railway station. Lac de la Cavayère has been created as a recreational lake and is about five minutes from the city centre. Further sights include: Basilica of St. Nazaire and St. Celse , Carcassonne Cathedral , Church of St. Vincent .

Places to see in ( Bordeaux - France ) Place Parlement
The Parliament Square is in the city center of Bordeaux. It was built in an Italian style in 1760. It is lined with old buildings, dating from the 18th century, with opulent facades, recalling the glorious past of the city.
She has changed her name several times over the history of Bordeaux. When it was created, it was called the Place du Marché Royal. At the Revolution, it was renamed symbolically Place de la Liberté. Later, it was again renamed Parliament Square in honor of the former parliament of Bordeaux, destroyed in 1790.
In 1980, its soil was covered with golden limestone slabs during renovation work. In the center, you can see a fountain dating from 1865, made by Louis-Michel Garros, an architect of the city. It is neogothic style, decorated with masks. These are typically Bordeaux ornaments that feature fantastic creatures or carnival faces, usually accompanied by the gods Neptune and Bacchus.

Canal du Midi
From Roman times, a link between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic had long been on the minds of those wishing to avoid a trip around the Strait of Gibraltar. Charlemagne considered it in the 8th century. François I and Leonardo da Vinci talked about it in 1516. But it took a wealthy salt tax collector in the 17th century to bring it to pass.
Pierre Paul Riquet (1604-1680) of Béziers supplied the vision, the drive, and even part of the financing for the Canal du Midi. In 1666 an edict by Louis XIV proclaimed that construction could begin. Seven million cubic meters of earth were excavated for the project, which employed 12,000 men over a period of 12 years.
The Canal du Midi was built to enable the more efficient transport of goods and add to the mobility of the French navy. It was also intended from the beginning to bring glory to Le Roi Soleil, Louis XIV, the Sun King. Covering 150 miles, it includes 328 structures such as locks, tunnels, bridges, and aqueducts. The canal's 63 locks include double, triple, quadruple and sextuple staircase locks.
The canal has changed little in its 300 years. Now lock gates are steel rather than timber. An aqueduct was built to create a waterway over the River Orb. And a water slope was built at Béziers to allow boats to avoid the sixrise staircase. In 1996 the canal was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
The high quality of construction that went into the locks, aqueducts, and buildings is responsible for making the Canal du Midi the oldest canal in Europe still functioning. The canal remains not only functional but of high quality, making it the most popular canal in France. The banks of the canal are lined with pines, poplars, cypresses, and plane trees.
What is hotel barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especiallly on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers.
This is cruising, but in a very different style to ships plying the big rivers or oceans. The pace is slow, with a 6 day cruise covering maybe just 50 miles along a rural canal. Passengers can walk or bike the towpaths as their floating hotel glides gently along. Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions of Europe such as Burgundy, the Midi, or the Italian Veneto.
Every day there is an excursion, perhaps to a chateau, a vineyard for a wine tasting, or some other ‘off the beaten track’ location. About half of European Waterways’ bookings are for whole boat charters, ideal for families. Otherwise, clients book a cabin to join other like-minded people. A ‘slow boat’ European Waterways barge cruise offers the ultimate in experiential travel. A truly unique experience!
European Waterways offer luxury hotel barge cruises on the beautiful canals and rivers of Europe, such as through Burgundy, the Midi, Alsace, the Po Valley, Holland and the Scottish Highlands.
The exclusive collection of hotel barges accommodate up to 20 passengers who may charter a whole barge with family or friends, or join a small group of like-minded travellers on an individual cabin basis.
Each barge is fully crewed with a Captain, chef, hostesses, deck-hand and tour guide. The 6-night cruises include gourmet meals, fine wines, open bar, excursions and the use of facilities such as bicycles and spa pools.

Its owner, Shahé Kalaidjian, surrounded himself with a renowned team to create this chic and design establishment. Jean-Jacques Ory was in charge of the exterior architecture, Christopher Pillet was entrusted with the interiors and Christophe Ponceau created the gardens.The 35 rooms are immense and brightly lit bungalows, surrounding a swimming pool and offering guests total Provencal luxury. The smallest measures 40 square meters with a 5 meters high ceiling. The largest are the two 90 square meters villas. Wherever one looks, there’s light and space, with waxed concrete walls, stone tiles, noble materials, ultra contemporary Christophe Pillet furniture and Emeco chaises longues, a reference to the design style of the 1950s. Made with typical Provencal materials, the spa is an invitation to wellbeing and the Dom Pérignon Bar, next to the swimming pool, is a chic and elegant relaxation space which livens up considerably at night.
