It's really fun to see your reactions on geographical and historical stuff it's great keep it up
Escargot taste like mushrooms. Mushy autumn soil in the forrest. It was a disappointment. I hate mushrooms.
Léon in Spain has nothing to do with Lyons in France. Lyon, in the Center-East of France, owes its name to the old Gaulish placename Lugdun(um), meaning the city of Lug (the Celtic light god). The French town of Loudun (in the West of France) shares the same etymology, with a spelling closer to the orignal town name Lugdun(o).
Austerlitz is a Paris railway station (named from the Napoleon's victory in the town of Austerlitz).
26:45 It's Flying buttresses

Hello, my region The Grand Est is the union of 3 former regions Champagne-Ardennes to the west, Alsace (which was the smallest French region that would like to leave the Grand-Est) to the east and a region that was not mentioned in the video, Lorraine whose emblematic dish is of course the famous "quiche lorraine", it is made up of 4 departments, to the northwest, the Meuse (like the river) famous for its terrible battle of Verdun during the 1st world war, its delicious little cake the "madeleine" of Commercy; to the center-north Meurthe-et-Moselle whose capital Nancy has a magnificent place Stanislas (specialty bergamots from Nancy – sweets, macaroons from Nancy – cakes); to the northeast Moselle (capital Metz) department which was previously annexed by Germany with Alsace; to the south of these 3 departments, my home department, Vosges (capital Épinal), to the west of the department next to Champagne is the small village where Jeanne d'Arc was born, Domrémy, and to the west near Alsace, not far from my home village the small town of Saint-Dié (now Saint-Dié-des-Vosges) without which you might not call yourselves Americans even though it was much earlier, in 1507 it was in this town that the name America was given for the first time to the new world on a map (the last existing map is in the Library of Congress in Washington), Saint-Dié is considered the Godmother of America. the fruit of Lorraine, the delicious Mirabelle (small golden plum)
France is more like that ! Come here!
7:35 Ricard is a brand founded by Paul Ricard (the same guy from the famous race track). When Absinthe was ban in France around 1900 Ricard invented the Pastis a less stronger but "similar" anise taste liquor. Pastis is very popular in France particularly in the south and is associate with Marseille (because it was made here originaly and also the famous pastis 51 brand ) but Ricard was not born in Marseille but in Avignon.
The breton name of Bretagne is Breizh. La langue bretonne est celtique.
At 10:10 it's the Hermione, a replica of the ship which take La fayette to America in 1780 to help in the American revolutionary war, she was made with traditional construction methods in about 20 years.
the delicatessen in corsica and in other regions, are smocked or baked or roasred or dryed. pork is one of the meat with the bigger kind of way to be cooked ! in frnace , we love pork
That German castle you mentioned was supposedly an inspiration war the Disney castle not the stories like Sleeping beauty etc.
Train, why not but once you reach the main city, without a car you won't see much….
Rouen is the capital of Normandy
You are right, the cliffs of Picardie may recall the cliffs of Dover. It must have communicated long ago (and gave passage for the great stones), in fact the Channel Tunnel ends are near Sandgate in England and Sangatte in France.
(The province in Spain is Leon, different from Lyon).
A little sad that this only included metropolitain france. But still a good react video. Overseas territories have great places to visit aswell
18:17 Quite close! If you ever heard of Doggerland, you know that a large chunk of the North Sea used to be land that got flooded around ~6,000 years ago. Doggerland actually extended through the English Channel, with it being hypothesized that the Channel was also a lowland with several rivers that were extensions of the great rivers of Europe, like the Seine and the Rhine flowing through it. It doesn't have much to do with plate tectonics, but still it's clear that the rock makeup between northern France and southern England is very similar.
I would never eat an octopus, they're extremely intelligent
that female narrator has an AWFUL UNDERSTANDING of French words & pronunciation.
Yes paris has Austerlitz train station, London has Waterloo train station.
One century or so ago, Austerlitz Station was just known as Orleans station because of the Paris-Orleans Railway (PO) which, after reaching Orleans extended further South to Tours, Limoges, Bourges, Toulouse and the Spanish border.
Yes, at some point, very far back before modern times, France and British Isles were connected by a land bridge. There was erosion but most of all, the water level augmented considerably.
I'm not religious either but Gothic cathedrals to me represent the finest architecture ever designed.
Pierrefonds is what Violet le Duc (who restored most of medieval monuments during the 19th Century) imagined what the Middles Ages looked like, it's not really authentic (and has Renaissance parts to it too).Violet le Duc was that crazy guy who thought that Notre Dame towers should be augmented by spires, doubling their height, or even thought that the Mont Blanc mountain should be heightened because he found it too flat ! It's that crazy guy.
Mount St Michel is fabulous, although, I'd avoid tourist season at all costs !!! Prefer March or April or October and November to go there, wheather is less good but there are much less people there.
Yes, that's what's called a Canal Bridge ! A canal on a bridge, literally !
Nimes Arena is much smaller (but in better shape) than the Rome Coloseum because it remained in use after the Romans and still today, although it's still partially in ruins.
If you go to Sicily, go to Agrigente Temple. That temple is in much better shape than the others because it was turned into a Church after the Roman era, but was abandoned later.
This is Le Mans cathedral. Flying butresses are what keeps cathedral standing because the large windows essentially make the walls disappear… So to reprise loads from the vault and the roof, the butresses fly over the lower levels and go into the ground.
Ricard is from the south of France and it's a brand. Pastis is made with water, alcohol, sugar, natural extracts of licorice, anise 2 per thousand, caramelized sugar, a mixture of aromatic plants.
Absinthe is an herb-infused alcohol derived from fennel, anise, and the leaves and flowers of a small shrub called wormwood (otherwise known as Artemisia absinthium).
Absinthe is rare in France, and by the way, the taste is absolutely wonderful !
I am french, and would be glad to show you around someday if you come over!
