My Landmarks

by jakiline - last update: Jul 13, 2009

London...

St Paul's cathedral from the Millenium Bridge
"It's a hobby of mine", said Holmes, "to have an exact knowledge of London." (Arthur Conan Doyle).
In front of the Bayeux cathedral

THE MEDIEVAL FESTIVAL in Bayeux

SUMMER medieval event in BAYEUX on the first weekend of July...


APRIL: the start of the tourist season. The streets of Bayeux are busy, schoolchildren babbling in English across the market place...
See my bayeux pages for more details

Touring MEDIEVAL NORMANDY

The countryside in the inner part of Normandy (Orne, in the neighborhood of Sarthe or Maine) is very beautiful.

The city of SEES is worth a visit: mediaeval town, with a cathedral much similar to the one in Bayeux. Should go back there and around to take some pics. DOMFRONT also offers a nice landscape, from up a hill, and there's a medieval fair in the summer... AND SNOW IN WINTER

MEDIEVAL BAYEUX : apart the beautiful embroidery (UNESCO patrimony) it is worth seeing the mediaeval architecture of the cathedral and walking around in town. In the summer the tourist office provides walks with guides
the "hic sic" postcard
at Place des Vosges

Paris

"Oh the summertime is coming...."


I still go occasionnally to PARIS:
on the first SUNDAY of each month NATIONAL MUSEUMS offer FREE entrance...

and cultural life is all around, open your eyes and ears...
At the PLACE DES VOSGES, there's an excellent chord (violins,cello) orchestra playing each weekend afternoon, and they sell their CDs which are very good (only available from the spot)

Life is a journey

Ivory Coast (see page): 8 years childhood
Casablanca, Marocco: 3 years (primary school)
Languedoc-Roussillon, South of France
Chambéry, Bourg-St-Maurice, in Savoy (the Alps)
Cannes, Côte d'Azur (see page)
Metzkausen, near Düsseldorf, Germany
Paris: student's life
Granville, first step in Normandy, not far from the "baie du Mont-
Saint-Michel"
and now
BAYEUX, 10 km far from the coast and a few hours far from London...
Arromanches-Les-Bains, 10 km far from Bayeux
viewing Carcassonne from the remparts

Holidays in South France

Tracking my ancestors lead me to Carcassonne....

I spent a wonderful day there last summer visiting the castle, shopping, having nice fresh drinks here and there, walking around the medieval city: a very touristic place!

 Jacqueline, I love your Mermaids Travelogue. The songs and pictures are wonderful. I can't believe you may move to Caen. Is it because of work? I just love Bayeux and am jealous of you there! Good luck.
