Finland... Finland

 
This is just a mosaic of picture of Finland, but it summarizes well: the nature is sometimes so beautiful... 

Tallin... Castle neighborhood

 
Even if the most impressive place is the old Tallin somtimes by fooling around, you can discover some strange neighborhood like this one... All the houses are made of wood with a lot of colors and it give the sensation of a travel in the past. If you continue further you will arrive to the city castle and the modern art museum. 

Italy... Venice

 
If before Venice was one of the richest place of the world as well as a republic, now it is a place where the renaissance art appears as an heritage of the past. The city of 150 canals crossed by 400 bridges to join the 118 islands is the perfect place for lovers to have a walk. 

Germany... Neuschwanstein

 
Neuschwanstein Castle is located in Bavaria not so far from Austria. King Ludwig II started to build this castle close to his father one, but because of his mysterious death he didn't enjoy the life in one of the most visited monument of Germany. The picture is from Marienbrücke one of the oldest bridge crossing Elbe. 

France... Rouen

 
I know I put a lot of pictures from France but maybe because you can find so different places. This is a street in the old city of Rouen. Rouen is sadly famous for being the place where Jeanne d'Arc was burnt at the stake before being consider as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. 

Finland... Tampere

 
Tampere is the third city of Finland and this is the... city center! In the middle of the city textil and paper factories are standing up and if nowaday most of them are close some are still using the rapids which was the main source of power not so long ago. 

Russia... the summer Palace

 
The Russian Versailles is dedicated to Catherine the Great. The blue color is representing the eyes while the golden hairs are reflecting on the snow...

Esther is showing us the Versailles garden and you can see on the background the castle of Louis XIV named le roi soleil (The Sun King). This king is well known as an absolute monarch, "L'État, c'est moi" ("I am the State") is frequently attributed to him. His fabulous life style was in fact a way to keep the control on the nobles showing the power of the state.

France... Le mont Saint Michel

 

Le mont Saint Michel is one of the most impressive abbey of the world. In Normandy in France, Mount Saint Michael is standing up in front of the sea delivering the secret of a rich history... 

Finland... Temppeliaukio

 
Temppeliaukio is an "underground" church in the middle of Helsinki. At first sight it seems strange to find a monument like that in the city center, but don't forget the changing temperature in Finland and it is always confotable to find a warm place. 

Sweden... Stockholm

 
I like a lot this picture, I think Stockholm is a capital city where the art is omnipresent. The colors are impressive and I like in particular the ones you can find in the middle age city center. In the city you will find a lot of museums, in particular Vasa presenting the only XVII century entire boat. 

France... Menton

 
Between Monaco and Italy there is a small city, Menton. Calm, really calm desite the increadible amount of tourist in summer, Menton has the secret of the "peacefulness" this is maybe because an important part of the population is more than 60 years old or simply because of the warm climate due to the position in the extram part of France between the sea and the montains... If you are going to the south of France don't miss that place. 

Russia... the Red Square

I was surprise to see that the Red Square was empty then I discovered that when the Lenin’s mausoleum is open it is forbidden to go on the square. If the red square is a symbol of Moscow and Russia in general, the color red is not due to the communism but because of the color of the bricks around that place.

Sweden... Stockholm

 
Stockholm is the capital city of the Kingdom of Sweden and is the good place for shopping. 

Finland... Landscape

 
In the south of Finland, here Tampere, the temperature can approach -25C during winter.

Finland... Cottage

 
Finland, this is the country of sauna. The best way to discover sauna is to go to a cottage weekend in a small wood house near one of the 188000 lakes and have a swim in the frozen water. 

Paris... La Défense

 
La Défense is a modern Business center. La Grande Arche, l'Arc de Triomphe, les Champs-Elysées la Concorde, le Carouselle du Louvre and the pyramide du Louvre are important monuments in the same alignement for an impressive view...
