Jack/Travel

Hi, I'm back. Jack the traveler. A lot of you remember me, i hope,
for the rest I'm new. I decided to pick up again my travel stories
that you can of course find again on http://jack-travel.com
I also decided, since i am now retired to guide personally anyone who
comes to visit Brussels or Antwerp. For more details just send me a
mail [email protected].

Let's start our visit to Bordeaux on or near the place de la
Comedie.The tourist office is nearby and if you are by car, there is
plenty of parking place around the enormous place des Quinconces,
Europe's largest and one of its least interesting squares.
But here, on the place de la Comédie, the ancient forum, a space that
once contained 300 houses, a church and a remarkable Gallo-Roman
palace.
The Grand Theatre is built on the spot of this palace, which was torn
down at the order of Louis XIV. An opera house was built in 1773 and
is considered as one of the most beautiful of France. From the outside
it resembles a Greek temple, fronted by a row of mighty Corinthian
columns and crowned with statues of goddesses and muses. The
auditorium (you can visit the inside of the Grand Theatre), has golden
columns and a domed ceiling, hung with a massive chandelier
weighing1350 KG. From the day it opened, this high temple of illusion
answered a deep felt need in business oriented Bordeaux.
Located 35 km N.E. of Bordeaux, SAINT-EMILION is set in a natural
amphitheatre surrounded by its famous vines, a genuine, precious gem,
a lovely town of 2800 inhabitants. Its altitude is 76 meters. It’s in
such a village that you can find what makes the charm of a medieval
French village. , steep streets with uncertain cobblestones, ramparts
hidden by thick vegetation, gothic churches in majestic architecture,
little squares nestled in the vineyards….
It kept its old fashioned elegance and certain streets are so steep
that handrails have been installed down their centers. The town keeps
its greatest secret underground, like Europe’s largest subterranean
church. Come out of season if possible, or at least late in the day to
avoid the crowds of day-trippers, or stay overnight, and see the
sights first thing in the morning. In 1999 St.Emilion was classed
world heritage site, the first wine growing area to achieve this
status. It will probably mean more visitors than ever.
The history of Saint-Emilion is a cute one. The arrival in the 8th
century of a Benedictine hermit from Brittany, named Emilion. His
piety attracted a number of companions, which enlarged the natural
shelters and caves on the site. The largest one was used as church, to
become the EGLISE MONOLITHE. When the founder died, the monastery took
his name: Saint-Melyon in langue d’Oc.
A walled town grew up around the monastery and it received its first
charter in 1199, with a new civil authority of a hundred peers from
the bourgeoisie known as the “jurade�. They did the tax collecting and
organized a local militia to maintain the quality of wine, wine that
was mainly grown for the British crown.
The wines of Saint-Emilion became more and more famous but the
100-year’s war brings lots of destruction as well as the French
revolution, when the town loses all its privileges.
Today, the small city lives mainly from its wine, the “jurade “is back
again.
Four of the town’s principal sights can only be seen on the tourist
office’s guided tour, but don’t fail to take a wander of your own. If
you’re staying a night, save the tour of the well-preserved wall towns
for dusk, when the views are at their most romantic.

The tour continues in the GROTTE DE L’ERMITAGE, where the hermit
Emilion lived, reshaped over the centuries in the form of a Latin
cross. The good hermit’s one amenity was running water from a natural
spring. Worshipped since pagan times, the spring is good for what ails
you, especially affliction to the eye.
From place Marché, walk up steep Tertre de la Tente to rue du Clocher.
To the left is place des Creneaux, St.Emilion’s landmark
11th-15th-century bell tower rising up almost 60 meters, the second
highest in the Gironde after St.Michel of Bordeaux. . For a small fee
you can climb the 198 steps for a superb view of the whole town. Here
too, is the entrance to the COLLEGIALE, a hotchpotch of a church begun
in 1110----the period of its west portal, Byzantine cupolas, and
frescoes of a devil, St.Catherine and the Virgin on the right wall of
the nave. The north portal has a tympanum adorned with “Last
Judgment� from 1306, with niches that once held high relief of the
apostles; in the choir are 15th century stalls and the treasure, where
the relics of st.Emilion are currently installed.
From the nearby tourist office, you can enter the pretty twin-columned
Gothic CLOITRE DE LA COLLEGIALE. Follow rue des Ecoles to rue du
Couvent and the austere Norman TOUR DU ROI, all that remains of the
castle built by Henri III with more grand views from the top.
Down, near place Bouckueyre, the medieval quarters of La Madeleine in
rue André Loiseau house the town’s new museum: MUSEE DES HOSPICES DE
LA MADELEINE, excellent display of pottery and ironware made in
southwest France from as far back as the 13th century.

It's wonderful to have you back. We missed you a lot. Who won the
French Open? Was it anyone from Belgium?

Jack, we're so glad you're back! This will give us an incentive to visit
Brussels and Antwerp, which we have not seen for some years. Maybe next
year.

The French open for women was won by Justine HENIN-HARDENNE. She beat
in the finals another Belgian Kim CLIJSTERS.
What a wealth for a small country like ours. Kim Clijsters no.2 in the
ATP world ranking, and Justine Henin no.3 in the ATP ranking!!

For you, Earl and Donna, my guided tours will be free, since you have
done so much for mealready in previous years.
But let me remind you all that I plan in general to organize my
(footwalk tours) of Antwerp and Brussels for a modest fee.

Regards to all

Jack,

It will be wonderful to have your commentaries again. And
congratulations on your retirement!

I was wondering whether you realized that two links on your "Bordeaux
And Its Area" page point to the same page. They are "Introduction and
beginning its history" and "Bordeaux in history until today". I think
that the article is the "Introduction" and that the second link is
misdirected.

I wanted to thank you for your posts on Provence. I found many
wonderful hotels, meals, and out-of-the-way attractions by following
your advice.

Bill (from Berkeley)
