... a courageous king, and wins a crushing victory. Henry V is one of Shakespeare&#8217;s most famous plays and has been made on film several times.<br><br>The battle field today is very similar to what it would have been in 1415. The forests and villages are still where they were. The castle of Azincourt is gone, but the rest is very similar. I got oriented on the field and imagined each phase of the battle, driving along from village to village and from one side to another ...

... French are rightly proud of the capital.<br><br><br>It didn't cost us much at all during the week, we are pretty savy to most tourist traps in Europe now and it wasn't hard to find the cheap local shops tucked away from the main routes, our biggest expense was a two day museum pass at 30 euros each, but this is Europe Paul and Shaz style and we hammered all the major museums and sights on the card bringing each entry fee down from around 10 euros to about 3 euros for each visit ...

... trop fatigué pour m'aimer, mais c'est pas grave... Anne Laure travaille à l'aéroport et me raconte tout le fonctionnement et les mésaventures que l'on peut rencontrer en temps que voyageur ou encore comme salarié de "Ryanair" (ou presque). Une mine d'informations partagées devant une bonne tartiflette... que du bonheur... surtout que j'ai été reçu comme un roi... une fois encore vive couchsurfing et merci à toi Anne Laure!

... at 2, so we decided to get a coffee and walk around. We found a lot of shops, and the cathedral, but we were dragging around our luggage, so we couldn't do much. Then we walked back to the train station to catch the bus at the airport. Once we were at the airport, more waiting. We had to wait to check in, and then we had to wait to board the plane. We flew Ryanair, and there are no assigned seats, so we were first in line and got seats in the front of ...

Vincent was waiting for us outside the Louvre and we were off to his home west of Paris. It is easy to understand Vincent's love for his home of Auvers-sur-Oise. Clean, quiet, and picturesque... As we arrived in Auvers-sur-Oise, we saw the SCJ building where he works. From there, it was on to his home for lunch. Vincent and Rose "wined ...

... ASAP. The driver nodded and broke all land speed records. He really flew, achieving speeds of 170 Km/hr and I was white-knuckling the back seat. Then, ironically, he ran out of gas. We virtually coasted into a filling station as he apologetically put a cursory amount of gas into the tank and continued the race against the clock. I paid a premium ten euro to take an express route. The fare was $140 Euro ($210.00 USD~~the bus would have been 13 euro that I ...

I have always been interested in France. Also in the most beautiful villages of France. One of them is Gerberoy. Close (300 km./180 miles) to my home we went to visit it. It was desolated and abandonned until Henri-Eugene le Sidaner decided to reside there. He was a painter and other artists came and restored the village to its beauty it is now.<br>

... interior seem airy and light, filling the church with light and color.  After the first collapse of the vault, the architects became less interested in size and more interested in decoration and total stability of the building.  Since it was still being added on in the 16th century, moments of Renaissance ornamentation can be ...

... and tried to find dry places to rest as often as we could. Well my time on the internet is about done for today!! I will complete the rest of my record of Paris another time. :) I will be getting on a train in about eight hours to pick Melissa up in Nice tomorrow afternoon!!! I can't believe she's here in less than 24 hours!!! :) Thanks for the comments and emails!!! It's really nice to hear from people and have some connection to home!! :)

... all put together rather haphazardly. The water garden is very pretty. It was probably the most crowded place we've been so far (lots of people in a small space). And we got there right at 10:00 when they opened. I wasn't impressed by the house - too crowded to appreciate anything and not much explanation of what you're seeing. Unless you really like Oriental painting - skip the house tour. We also walked through the American Art Museum gardens but skipped ...
