Roman ruins, a papal palace, huge cathedrals, hot air ballooning over wine country near the Alps, and the Matterhorn. These are just a few of the sites visited in this book. Lake Geneva, a boat ride through the canals of Brugge, a mock Byzantine cathedral on a hill overlooking Lyon, a tower that is the predecessor to the Eiffel Tower in Paris - more sites from this two part trip that covered the Normandy beaches of the WWII Allied Invasion and the south central part of France including Avignon and Orange.
