the impulse to travel: Chartres, the town
http://theimpulsetotravel.blogspot.com/2013/05/chartres-town.html
The impulse to travel. The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life. Agnes Repplier. Monday, May 20, 2013. Chartres, the town. Our first day was gloomy and overcast, but the streets of the old town center of Chartres were still magically appealing. A brief walk through town, a stop for lunch, and we continued on our way to Dinan. It's only 1 pm We still have plenty of time. This was our first glimpse of the half-timbered style that is common throughout Brittany and Normandy. Ile de la cite.

The impulse to travel. The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life. Agnes Repplier. Monday, May 20, 2013. Chartres, our first stop. Our first full day was also the day of our longest drive. We picked up our car and were on the road from Paris to Dinan, a town in Brittany 400 kilometers (250 miles) to the west. Less than four hours, if you take the main autoroute. The cathedral sits on top of the hill in the center of the city. Location: Chartres, France. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The impulse to travel. The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life. Agnes Repplier. Saturday, May 25, 2013. The Loire Valley is the home of many châteaux—French for castles. Our route to Dinan passed through the north sideof this area. Surely we had time to see at least one château! Château de Châteaudun was built between the 12th and 16th centuries. It was home to Jean de Dunois, comrade in arms of Joan of Arc. The keep was built by the Count of Blois Thibaut V around 1170. Our first fu...

The impulse to travel. The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life. Agnes Repplier. Sunday, July 24, 2011. On Friday I went to my orphanage. It was very emotional for me because I got to see the place where I grew up for the first three years of my life. It was amazing just to see it. I got to see my playroom. I got to see the place where I slept. We showed the ladies pictures of me when I was very little and they laughed. There were the same little tables and chairs where I sat with Eri...

The impulse to travel. The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life. Agnes Repplier. Friday, October 21, 2011. Just like in the movie "French Kiss," the Eiffel Tower peeks out and surprises you from random places all over Paris. But we spent one morning getting up-close-and-personal with the tower. Behind the tower is the Wall for Peace. The glass and metal monument has “peace” written in 32 languages and 18 alphabets. Location: Eiffel Tower, Paris, France. Monday, October 17, 2011.
