포레 드 생트 아폴린 최고의 라이딩 경로

very dangerous on the descent

Warning: Olympic black track is very tough. There is no intermediate course; there are two complete circuits, green and black, so the walking is HIGH...

For nearly 130 years, Neauphle-le-Château was home to the production of Grand Marnier, right in the heart of the village. Closed in 2012, the factory was long the pride of the town. Throughout the day, it emanated a powerful aroma of bitter orange, the essential ingredient of this spirit, one of the best-selling in the world.

In the heart of the village of Villiers Saint Frédéric, a porch marks the entrance to the old castle. It leads to the old town hall, now the municipal library, and to the church. Behind us, the new town hall.

This chapel is the remaining remnant of a commandery (a branch of the order) of the community often referred to as the "Order of the Templars" or "Knights Templar", whose full name is "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem". The association gained notoriety due to the fact that in 1312 this order was dissolved by the French king and the pope and many members were burned at the stake as alleged heretics. The main reason for the dissolution was not the human and religious misconduct/heresy of the members, which was claimed as the motive, but the legendary wealth of this order. With his meticulously planned approach, King Philip IV of France primarily wanted to secure their possessions in order to improve his coffers.

Nice walk with the family on the weekend.
