Places to see in ( Le Lavandou - France )
Places to see in ( Le Lavandou - France )
Le Lavandou is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. It derives its name either from the flower lavender (lavanda in Provençal) that is prevalent in the area, or more prosaically from the local form of the Occitan name for lavoir, lavandor (for lavador, a public place for washing clothes).
The (then) village is where the famous popular song A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square was written in the summer of 1939. The words were by Eric Maschwitz and the music by Manning Sherwin, with its title ‘stolen’ from a story by Michael Arlen. The song had its first performance in a local bar, where the melody was played on piano by Manning Sherwin with the help of the resident saxophonist. Maschwitz sang the words while holding a glass of wine, but nobody seemed impressed.
In the spring of 2002, an attempt was made to find the bar where this classic song was first performed with the view to having a blue plaque set up. With the help of the local tourist office, elderly residents were questioned, but it proved impossible to establish the venue.
In September 2000, the mayor passed an unusual bylaw making it illegal to die in the town. The mayor described his own bylaw as absurd ... to counter an absurd situation; the absurd situation was that with the town's cemetery already full, a court in Nice had denied permission for a new cemetery because it would mar the beauty of the selected site.

Places to see in ( Troyes - France ) Ruelle des Chats
Places to see in ( Troyes - France ) Ruelle des Chats
The alley of Cats in Troyes in the department French of Dawn , is an alley that runs from Champeaux street to Charbonnet Street in the Bouchon de Champagne historic heart of the city of Troyes. Very narrow, it gives an idea of the cobbled medieval streets with a central channel for the flow of water. Rebuilt after the great fire of 1524 , the half-timbered and cantilevered houses widen in height. The floors overflow on the street to increase their surface: the tax was calculated on the surface on the ground . This alley owes its name to the fact that a cat can, indeed, pass from one side to the other of the street, while passing by the roofs. The facades touch from the top, and are held by props.
Once called Maillard alley from the xv th century, from 1460. At the entrance to the alley toward the street Champeaux was the bailiff of the priory of Saint-Jean-en-Châtel, belonging to the Saint-Pierre abbey of Montiéramey. At n os 32 and 36 of the current lane of Cats was the hotel of the family Lesguisé. In 1783 , it is given as cat street. In 1789 , an order enjoined to lay iron grilles at each end of the lane. These gates were closed at night, and open during the day.
In the 1960s , the alley of the Chats was threatened with extinction, like the rue de la Rothière, and Andre Malraux was alarmed 8 . The law bearing his name was adopted on August 4 , 1962.
At the corner of the Chats Lane, at the widening of the alley, is the Golden Mortar Court. In place of the old clinic Juvenal, now demolished, was planned in 2006 to rebuild a home in the spirit of the xvi th century and the construction of two timber framed houses begins in January 2014.
In the alley, a bookshop also hosts the first Human Rights Café opened by the French League for the Defense of Human and Citizen's Rights. The town of Troyes has been lit up since 1534, when the city council decides to light up during the fairs of Champagne, with tallow candles in lanterns; in 1766, the city has 150 public lanterns lit in winter on the main streets. The tallow gives his place oil around 1800, the gas and electricity in 1842 in the early twentieths.

Places to see in ( Chambery - France )
Places to see in ( Chambery - France )
Chambéry is an Alpine town in southeast France. In the old town is the medieval Castle of the Dukes of Savoy, with historical exhibits. Near Chambéry Cathedral, the 1838 Elephant Fountain honors the 18th-century general Benoît de Boigne. The Musée des Beaux-Arts exhibits include 14th- to 18th-century Italian works. South, the Museum of Charmettes was once home to philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Chambery is an attractive and lively town in the Savoie department of the Rhone Alps, about 50 kilometres north of Grenoble. The city has a long history linked with that of nearby Italy, and the Dukes of Savoy and Chambery only became a permanent part of France in 1861 - see history of Chambery for details. In recent years Chambery has had something of a revival and has been tidied up and important institutions such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts have re-opened. It is now bright and colourful and a really pleasant place to spent some time.
Start your visit in the wonderful Place Saint-Leger in the heart of the old town, featuring the Fontaine des Marmousets and a 19th century sun-dial and surrounded by tall houses all painted in different colours and lots of outdoor restaurants allowing you to sit down and really savour the atmosphere - and the food. The significant amount of historic heritage in Chambery have led to its being officially listed as a Town of Art and History (Ville d'Art et Histoire') in France. Learn more with a visit to the 'Interpretation Centre' in an imposing 16th century townhouse on Rue Saint Réal.
The historic centre of Chambery dates from the 15th and 16th centuries onwards. One curiosity you will see is the Fountain of the Elephants - built around 1838 in honor of Benoit Leborgne, Earl of Boigne (1751 -1830) on his return from India, after a wandering life in the service of an Indian prince. The fountain is arranged such that the four elephants make a sort of cross which represents the coat of arms of the House of Savoy.
The city has a lot of other squares and streets of interest. From the Place Saint Leger you can explore the many alleys that radiate in all directions, eventually reaching the elegant Rue Croix d'Or where you can admire some ancient aristocratic houses, some of which date back to the 16th century. One of these roads is also named after Boigne and contains many elegant shops.
Chambery castle is an important building (the 'Castle of the Dukes of Savoy') and was sold by its owner (Berlion, Lord of Chambéry) to the Counts of Savoy in 1232. It remained the residence of the Savoy Counts until 1562. The castle is now home to the council offices but you can join a guided visit to see inside. Its chapel, the Sainte Chapelle, used to house the 'Holy Shroud' brought to Europe at the time of the Crusades and entrusted to the Savoy Lords in 1452 (who moved it to Turin in 1578, where it gained the popular name 'the Turin Shroud' - there is a copy of the shroud in the cathedral). Visitors here can also see the 70 famous bells of the so-called 'Great Carillon'.
The gothic style 13th century Cathedral Church of the Franciscan Friars of Saint Francois de Sales has a rather austere facade but is home to the largest collection of trompe-l'oeil paintings in Europe. The highlight in the cathedral is the treasury which includes a 12th century Byzantine diptych among its interesting artefacts, and there is also a copy of the Turin shroud on display in the cathedral.
The City Museum of Fine Arts (the Musée de Beaux-Arts) contains some notable paintings including a beautiful painting representing the 'Adoration of the Magi' by Jean de Bruges and a copy of a remarkable 'San Gerolamo' by Correggio executed by local painter Gian Francesco Berengier in the 18th century. A large part of the museum is dedicated to paintings by Italian Renaissance artists, in particular 'Portrait of a Young Man' by Paolo Uccello and 'Trinity' by Bartolo di Fredi, and many others. The Savoy Museum (Musee Savoisien) is also very interesting and contains numerous artefacts and pictures as well as numerous other collections, such as Roman coins, that explain the long history of Chambery and the Savoy region.

Places Featured:
► Meribel. Part of the 3 valleys (des 3 Vallees). In winter the biggest skiing area in the world, and in summer a great starting point for hikes in the surrounding. We hiked to Col de la Lune (which provided us the great views over the mountains) and then on to our hut for the night.
► We stayed in Le Refuge du Christ. A very nice place, in the middle of nature, friendly people and amazing food!! Definitely recommended. Say hi to the hottub from me ;)
► Horse riding through the local forests and to the lake. Just a 2 hour trail, good for beginners. Ask at the local tourism office for information and tours.
► I asked Savoie Mont Blanc if they could make this trip possible for us, and they did.
All opinions are my own, as always.
