In this corner of the Place de Cornieres the facade corners touch. They had to make way for people to pass through resulting in this unique passage by removing stones in the structure of the arched arcade. Must have been a huge discussion to solve this issue.

Monpazier: Urban Photography

The small village Monpazier, a 13th-century bastide town, founded in 1285 and built by King Edward I of England for trade, commerce and justice. It almost didn't change in the past centuries, a medieval town square lined with an arched arcade, a 16th-century covered market, three of the original six rampared city gates remain and many other traces of medieval history. This picturesque small village is one of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" villages, said to be one of the most atractive in southwest France.

Tom Thumb stealing the Seven-league boots of the Ogre. Tom Thumb in the Efteling is based on one of the eight fairytales published by Charles Perrault "Le petit Poucet" in "Histoires ou contes du temps passé" in 1697. The scene, designed as "Klein Duimpje", is since 1998 in the Fairytale Forest. Tom Thumb is stealing the Seven-league boots of the sleeping ogre. To call Tom Thumb, you have to call his name in a hole of a wooden log.

 

Seven-league boots are an element in European folklore. The boots allow the person wearing them to take strides of seven leagues per step, resulting in great speed..

Metasequoia glyptostroboides - the dawn redwood, a fast-growing, endangered deciduous conifer, the sole living species of the genus Metasequoia, one of three species in the subfamily Sequoioideae. It is a particularly well-known example of a living fossil species. The tree faces considerable risks of extinction in its wild range due to deforestation, however it has been planted extensively in arboreta worldwide. If the species had not been discovered in 1941 but a bit later, it might have become extinct before being investigated.

Rockanje: Strypemonde Nature

A nice walk on this 100-hectare Strypemonde estate leads you through a beautiful varied forest and past a flowery forest meadow and many special trees, such as the Metasequoia Glyptostroboides and exotic oaks. The former owners of the then 2000 hectare estate were shipowners, they brought many cuttings and seeds from abroad and they still grow here. The area is also rich in tawny owls, long-eared owls and woodpeckers and you will find many mushrooms in the autumn.

 

The name Strypemonde comes from a wide creek, the Strype, which flowed into the sea here in the Middle Ages and which was later dammed. The hunting lodges Olaertsduin and Strypemonde (anno 1930) are national monuments and the Schaapskooy is a municipal monument.

Hellevoetsluis - During the time of the United Provinces Hellevoetsluis was the naval port of the Admiralty of de Maze (Rotterdam) and could accommodate an entire fleet within a special land-enclosed fortress with harbour and dockyard facilities, accessible through a canal. Thanks to its strategic situation the town grew from the beginning of the 17th century to be the homeport for the Dutch war fleet. In later years the port was fortified more and more and Hellevoetsluis therefore became a unique combination of fortified town and naval port. The Admirals Maarten Tromp, Michiel de Ruyter and Piet Heyn had their home base here and in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution William III of Orange's invasion fleet departed from the port.

Breda: Architecture

The "Grote" or "Our Lady's Church" (Groundbreaking 1410 and completed in 1547) is Breda's most important monument and landmark of Breda. The tower of the church, visible from a distance at 97 meters high, can be climbed on some days. The church is located in the center of Breda on the Grote Markt.

 

It is a cross basilica in the Brabant Gothic style, which has been restored several times over time. Also of national significance because of the Prinsenkapel, the mausoleum of the early ancestors of the Dutch royal family, the Nassau-Dillenburg family.

 

Both because of its construction and its location, the church is considered one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands. As an example of Brabant Gothic, the most intact and elegant in the Netherlands.

Shopping at Stone Island.

.

Just near Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport, you'll find a Champs-Élysées like Outlet Shopping Center. It includes 110 exclusive top fashion and homeware boutiques.

 

Even the village like architecture, including the small bistro's, is exquisite and colorful indeed. The (price)tag #lavalleevillage could be the new trend for some time to come.

 

Photo May 2023, La Vallée Village (2000) after 23 years in time.
