Things to see and do France

Christmas markets are a must in Alsace, the one in Thann is no exception. Integrated into the country of songs and fabrics, about thirty small huts are found in the middle of fir trees decorated by the schools of the Thur valley. Smells of mulled wine and mumbo jumbo, this small authentic market brings traditions up to date: it is from the top of the collegiate church that Santa Claus descends from the sky to launch the festivities. And what could be more enchanting than a Christmas tale revisited by the fabulous troupe of the Bâtisseurs sous la neige?

To the left of Diderot Street, descending from north to south, an imposing building (twelfth century), with its five vaulted nefs. The present church is the result of several constructions of xiiie in the eighteenth. A fire in 1725 gave the langrois architect Claude Forgeot the opportunity to treat this pretty facade. Original, the bell tower, which is a bonded and graceful bell, does not seem to obey this symmetrical law that Forgeot had. It is developed on four levels, the Campanile is very open. This abundance of decoration details contrasts with the sobriety of the building, but adds a delicious Italian character.

Until the th century, the city extended its fortifications, a variety of ramparts called ditches. The enclosure would have been a six-door breakthrough. Only the gates of Saint John and Puycharraud were spared. You can follow the route of the th century bastion, Place-Mautondon square, which extends to the tower of the Vineyard by taking the direction of the Rue du Four, which takes the name of a door. The Saint John door is to visit all year round (key to the Market bar). The town testifies to an architecture of houses dating back to the th century, such as that of Joachim du Chalard, the Bailiff, the Book, the Echauguette, Rogues de Fursac or the Seneschal.

The underground lantern of the dead and an alleged menhir of La Jéraphie, a medieval point.

Hypocondriac or simply curious to know better a little-known heritage, the one related to our health, leads an unusual museum. The Grenoble Museum of Medical Sciences has set itself the mission of preserving and enhancing the local hospital heritage and, more broadly, that of health. Located in the heart of the hospital area, in the former chapel of the Asile des Vieillards, this museum area is now only open to the public for temporary exhibitions with a forthcoming exhibition devoted to the evolution of hospital surgery. To be continued.

As a parish parish church, the Saint-Guingalois collegiate church was built around 1070 to welcome in its crypt the relics of Saint Guénolé (Saint Guingalois) which had been brought to Château-du-Loir in 878 by Breton monks fleeing the Vikings. It was devastated in 1051 and was transferred to the monks of Mamoutier in 1067. Ronsard was prieur there. The building has several strengths to claim: a th century crypt, a th century Gothic choir and a, nave of the th century. The organ of the th century is classified.

Classified historic monument in 1910, it dates back to the th century and is the oldest medieval building building. Built in the 1348 th century by Jean de Montfort, in the year. It is probably linked to the village of Guérande whose existence was documented in 1206. Sold as a national property under the Revolution in 1796, the building used to serve as a discount and a forage store. She was made to worship in 1854 and renovated. France and Brittany signed the second Guérande Treaty in 1381, putting a definitive end to their dispute. In the th century, an important programme of work was carried out: The interior of the interior, the interior of the interior,… Around the chapel, rue du Pilloried, a beautiful two-timbered house (the house of the Moulin or blue house) dating from the th and th centuries.

Its construction dates back to 1690. This massive building has walls of a metre thick and a stone vault doubles the slate cover. It is one of the three Garde guard bodies to shelter the coastguard militia. He was part of the harbour of the coastguards whose authority stretched from the Croisic to La Roche-Bernard.

A former fortified manor house of the 1826 th century, which only remains monumental after its destruction in. He was the property of the Tournemine and the Protestant wedding of Peter de Tournemine and Mary de Kermarec were celebrated there.

From the th century, it retained only its doorway of ogival form. It served as a place of worship for Protestants in the sixteenth century because Piriac was with Careil and Le Croisic a stronghold of Protestantism.

It's not just the mushroom of Paris! The Cultivation de Brionne, located in a cave that was used as a shelter by the population during the bombings of the Second World War, is now dedicated to oyster oyster cultivation. Two kilometres of gallery are dedicated to this delicate mushroom grown in a very modern way and it is possible to buy locally to cook it to your taste.
