France From Above HD - High Definition Views of the Chateaux de la Loire

[@wotan9630]

Having visited most of these chateaux the video brings back many happy memories. Now, due to illness, I shall never see them again but through this video I can relive those visits. I am very grateful to whoever made the programme, it has brought joy to my now very dull and travel-empty life.

@@Multerland What on earth are you talking about?

[@petion2013]

@@Multerland first of all, I'm not sure where you're getting your history but chateaux and castles had been built in France and Europe since the middle age. Colonislisn didn't start until the 19th century. This idea of France and Europeans that built their wealth on colonialism is utter b$#lsh$t. Colonialism cost far more to France than it profited it. As far as Congo genocide, are you gonna blame Europeans? Is there anything bad that happens in Africa that Africans can't control? Central Africa is horrible not because of colonialism, it's terrible because of human tribal nature.

[@francinesicard464]

Near 60 years after the independence, look properly at what all those African countries have done of their country; nothing. Most of them are eaten away by corruption. So stop complaining. You have had 60 years to reconquer your own culture and you African have done NOTHING!

Frances history, its art and architecture, is at the pinnacle - some of the most beautiful in Europe.

[@Gabneo1]

If France is at the pinnacle, Italy is at the heaven

[@iappreciatethat7184]

@@Gabneo1 No.

[@Gabneo1]

@@iappreciatethat7184 the speech would be long, because I, being Italian, would obviously be biased. France is beautiful, I have visited it 3 times and the last time for 1 month far and wide. But the density and intensity of Italy's artistic and natural beauties are in my opinion unsurpassed. An objective data is that of Unesco sites ... beyond the absolute number (2-3 more for Italy) and the number of Unesco sites per km² (1 every 5,000 km² for Italy, 1 every 12,000 km² for France, being the much larger French territory) .... the biggest difference I found between Italy and France is that in the same area to visit one beautiful place after another I always had to travel several kilometers. In Italy in any region even within a radius of only 20 km you have to make choices, to visit some places rather than others. Even the smallest villages and hamlets that are jewels in Italy are infinite everywhere, in France much less widespread everywhere. And the beaches, as beautiful as the Breton or the Cote d'Azur ones, and some Corsican beaches, are not comparable to the beauty with turquoise and crystalline waters of those of all southern Italy and Sardinia.

[@iappreciatethat7184]

@@Gabneo1 I'm going to answer with one word: diversity. In Italy, you have one or two types of climate and one or two types of architecture (I'm being oversimplistic on here, but you are getting the idea). In France, you will find 15. You can find a bit of Italy, Spain, Germany, England or Ireland in France. You will find cold weather, warm weather, cristaline water, grey water, black soil, grey soil, orange soil, etc, etc, etc. You will find plains, mountains, plateaus, deserts, rivers, etc. You will find overly dense cities, big towns, small villages. You will find architectures from every types of eras and every types of culture. It's not even close, France is far more beautiful because France is in the middle of Europe and was always a crossroad for all types of culture. Italy is still beautiful though. But there is a bit of Italy in France, you can't deny that.

[@Gabneo1]

@@iappreciatethat7184 yes, i can ... of course i can deny that bcs it seems you're talking about Italy in comparison of France, exactly the opposite of what you meant. 2 types of architecture in Italy, are you serious ? Phoenicians, Etruscans, Greek, doric, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Spanish, romanic, medieval, corinthias, bizanthine, renaissance, barocco, gothic, neoclassic, rationalist, modern ... but you make me believe you don't know Italy at all ! Many of these types were born in Italy ! Ask to a friend of yours who's an architect, if you don't believe me. And the climate, are you serious ? Think about position of Italy in the map .... it is narrow and long from the Alps to almost Africa, therefore from a very cold north for most of the year (and also with the glaciers on the Alps, which among other things are also the most beautiful in the world with the Italian Dolomites ) the further south you go, the more the climate changes gradually, even in the same season, much more than in France, up to the very mild climate all year round along the southern coast of Sicily.

[@Gabneo1]

Tourism in France is one of the richest and most prosperous economic sectors. France is visited by 85 million foreign tourists a year, making it the most popular tourist destination in the world; however, it is only in third place, and not in first place, in the income produced by tourism due to shorter visits and overnight stays which drop to 137 million, placing France in fifth place of the countries most visited by non-residents, behind the States United, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom and China. In short, for many tourists France is more of passage. More than 20% of tourists have in fact spent less than half of what they did in the United States of America

Henry II, king of England was count of Anjou, not king of Anjou. It was not a separate kingdom from France. Because he was, among other titles like duc of Normandy, count of Anjou, Henry II was the vassal of the king of France. Here, my favorite castle is Fontainebleau. Napoléon used to called it "The house of the centuries, the true kings' palace" because Fontainebleau is the only castle which has been constantly used by the French kings (and emperors) from the 13th century to the 19th.

[@jpc7118]

Totally Right, but you could have added the fact that Henri II Plantagenêt was twice the vassal of the french King was actually one of the main reasons of the hundred years war between French and English "French", sort of civil war which wasn't given its name. The other reason was that the french king died without a direct descendance and then the french king of England claim the french crown... I wonder what would have happened if both kingdoms had isntantly been united instead of doing a harsh and incredibly long war.

Henri the second was a member of the plantagenet house, which was from Anjou. The plantagenet house was the second "french" house to rule england after the norman one. But at this time France didnt exist in its current shape and Anjou was a possesion of the english crown, so Henri II was at the same time vassal of the king of France Phillipe August and king of england. Henri II was educated in French, and even the english nobility was at time time, French was a really prestigious language that's why it was the language of the nobility. What is important to understand is that the cultural border was pretty much non existent betweem england and France, and even today british monarqs still speak french.
