Laon (Removed from tentat…)

Cathédrale de Laon en 2023

My wife and I believe that, along with Chartres, Laon Cathedral is one of the most beautiful in France. We stopped there several times. Was it its silhouette perched atop …

Fontainebleau (Inscribed)

Château de Fontainebleau en 2023

From a practical standpoint, camping under the pine trees near Milly-la-Forêt allows you to tick off the WHS for the Palace and Park of Fontainebleau and the Domaine de Fontainebleau …

Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte

Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte (On tentative list)

Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte

Unlike Wojciech, when we arrived at the castle, the parking lot was deserted! It must be said that it had rained a lot the day before...

If there's one classical-style …

Loarre Castle (On tentative list)

Loarre Castle

As I am the first member of WHS.org to write about Loarre Castle, I will quickly describe the monument.

The Romanesque castle-abbey, dating from the 11th century, is located approximately …

Carcassone from the "Pont Vieux"

Fortified City of Carcassonne (Inscribed)

Fortified City of Carcassonne in 2023

There are 14 texts before mine and the vast majority of them are rather positive.

I had already visited the walled city as a child with my parents and then …

Barge on the canal

Canal du Midi (Inscribed)

Canal du midi between Castelnaudary and Toulouse

A WHS as we like them because, like the Loire Valley, it combines nature, culture and sport!

And since we don't have sea legs, we traveled it by bike in …

Archiepiscopal city of Albi

Albi (Inscribed)

Albi in 2023

Another WHS site in France, another Gothic cathedral.

With its original features, Sainte-Cécile d'Albi has nothing to do with the one in Bourges, which we visited the same year. Where …

Apse of Bourges cathedral

Bourges Cathedral (Inscribed)

Bourges cathédral in 2023

It's not easy to reach the old town of Bourges by mobile home. We had to leave it at the bottom of town along the Auron River and walk back …

The basilica seen from Asquins

Vézelay (Inscribed)

Vézelay in 2023

We visited the Vézelay basilica 20 years after Solivagant, but my wife and I had already done it 15 years earlier, hitchhiking.

At that time, the common thread of our …

Aljaferia à Saragosse

Mudejar Architecture of Aragon (Inscribed)

Mudejar architecture in Zaragoza

Perhaps I don't quite share the same enthusiasm as my predecessors because we were less lucky? We had decided to stay at the municipal campsite in Zaragoza, which was nice …

Remains of a boat in the polders

Schokland (Inscribed)

Schokland island: the shock!

There are sites that, despite their seemingly innocuous appearance, hide a striking reality!

We visited the site of the former Schokland Island in August 2024. What a shock!

We had …

Montagne Sainte-Victoire et sites cézaniens

It's best to visit Aix-en-Provence off-season, forgetting as quickly as possible France's attempt to add the Sainte-Victoire mountain and the places where the painter Cézanne lived to the World Heritage …

Burgundy (Inscribed)

Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne

Northern tourists who take the "autoroute du soleil" south skirt the Burgundy vineyard's climate classification zone, and it would be a shame not to stop there. This is what many …

Funerary and memory sites of the First World War

The transnational serial UNESCO World Heritage site "Memorial Sites of the First World War (Western Front)" is touchy. It could be the subject of controversy since it was …

Train to the Bernina pass

Rhaetian Railway (Inscribed)

Bernina Valley

Arab-Norma Palermo and the cathedrals of Cefalu and Monreale

I had kept something up my sleeve in Palermo to make sure I caught the night ferry to Tunisia at the right time.

I stopped in Cefalu, about seventy kilometers …

Zaghouan

This is a multiple UNESCO site that I really liked because it requires a mental connection between several places that are several dozen kilometers apart from each other. Upstream, the …
