Great photos, one day I will go back to France find some fine restaurants drink the wine munch on pate sandwiches and sup on Stella Artois , oh and visit some museums.

Do you find yourself saying " yup I got one of them yup one of them and two of them" ? Rob
 
*For WW1 German headgear “La Pompelle” in Reims. (Friese collection).
*For WW1, all belligerents, "Musée de la Grande Guerre à Meaux 77 (Battle of the Marne). Extraordinary! Huge!
(Jean-Pierre Verney collection).
*For the 1870 war, Musée de l'Empéri in Salon-de-Provence 13(Brunon brothers collection) (near Marseille).

and many more...😃

I also like the ‘chateau de l’empiri’ in the Provence and I earlier promoted the museum at Meaux,
Also the heeresgschichliges museum in Vienna is stunning!!!
Should the topic of museums not be ‘awarded’ with a special place on the forum site? Thus like other topics photos and enthousiast comments and descriptions remain visible to our community and can be found when preparing a trip to the region

Same is truth for battlefields, some sites like butte the vauqois and verdun are worth visiting for all ‘pickelhaube’ enthusiasts, a reference where to go on the forum could be nice

Maybe topic: museums and battlefields???

Beware!
I live in France for nearly two years now! Still looking for those fine restaurants I used to know in France. To me that generation has left the building...and they forgot to teach the new generation.....

Yep! Thirst quencher.
I prefer the stronger: like Duvel. Hommel.
Trappist Tripel.
-And the real strong-dark-Trappist in autumn and winter-at cellar temperature-12°to 13°celsius

Never/No Leffe/Heineken... or that other artificial/chemical stuff for me! Not even worth the name beer...

I'm jealous with the number of beautiful Museums you guys have in western Europe all within driving distance.

Before someone complains about a 2 or 3-hour drive please remember here in the states it will take you about 13 hours behind the wheel to get through Texas. :oops:

It takes me 12 hours, from France to the place I used to live, in Belgium. Because I don't use the French highway, anymore.
It cheapper, less dangerous, nearly zero risk for queues and beautiful.
The highway takes you in 7 hours, at high speed. If your a lucky not to have any queue...and that is seldom...
The place (province) I live in, here in France is nearly as big as Belgium is.
All major movements I want or need to make needs at least one hour driving.

Well, when me and my girlfriend went on holiday, we also used the old routes to go there, never the highway's. Route de la vacances, like an old French musician wrote a song about. Route N7.
If she would have lived now, we would be in the Provence, we were planning to start a Bed&Breakfast business there.
Unfortunately though, she passed away in a car accident, visiting her uncle who was having his birthday, but she never arrived there. I was also planning to go, but my workplace didnt let me go, too much work and no exemption. So she went alone.
And then the phone rang at my work... A Renault5 has no chanche stopping behind a lorry, when the lorry behind saw it too late. Veronigue was a French girl..

So sad Coert!
 
It is for sure a sad thing, but don't worry guy's, this happened in 1992. I never forgot her though. She's still in my thoughts.
Then again, I never looked at other relationships after that. I'm quite happy with my 4 cats. (The pain has gone away, but no more for me, it gave me a lot of it already)

Kris, if you do not completely love being stuck in traffic jams there is another solution: ride a bike. I was in France last week for work and I also had to collect mine in England. I left Paris on Eurostar at 7:00 am, arrived in London at 9:00 and at the garage at 11:00. I was back in Paris before 6:00 pm, leaving behind a few million automobiles stuck on the freeway at the city entrance.
I guess Coert will approve.

Please do Tony! It will be great to see where interesting museums are. I visited many, also the Pompelle collection of Friese, when it was still displayed the way we all like, nowaday's it's different though.. There are a lot of museums posted here, which I did not visit, so a topic related to them would be much appreciated by me, also by many other members I think.
