Returning home through France.

While returning home we stayed in the historical city of Langres, one of the 50 most beautiful cities of France. It is in the North East of France in the Marne valley.
.

We were looking for a camping to stay the night and first drove through the city. It was raining very much so we just passed through.

Langres is surrounded by defensive walls , ramparts ,that can be walked around and it includes 12 towers and seven gateways.
It is a main attraction.
You can see some of it on my pictures.

There is a lot to see in this beautiful city so we will surely go back there some day

Tomorrow I will show some pictures of Langres and then some of the camping.

Hi Riet! I love your pictures! I have never been to Langres, but it looks so interesting! And about those narrow streets..yikes! I remember driving in several villages in Provence where the main street was one car wide!! Happy weekend...Debbie

Beautiful. I love old buildings. We think ours are heritage and our country is only 300 years old or so. Most of what we consider heritage is 150. I can't believe Lavender grows wild by the road! I fight to keep mine alive.
