The Reconstruction of a Medieval Fortress, Guedelon, France

This remarkable project, the Guedelon Fortress, was begun in 1997 under the supervision of Michel Guyot. The goal is to build a fortress using only the techniques utilized during medieval times. It is scheduled for completion in the 2020's. It created 55 jobs and receives 300,000 visits a year. Additionally, hundreds of people volunteer on the project annually. We really enjoyed our visit.

Welcome to Our Photo Blog

Join us on this photo journey of France, Europe and beyond. My husband and I are photographers and I'm a videographer, so we visually chronicle our travels throughout our home country of France and to the many countries we visit. The French Alps, where we live, are filled with breathtaking landscapes, lovely historic cities, quaint villages, amazing festivals and much, much more. Click on the photos for a larger version.

French Alps Tours

Join us on small group summertime tours of the French Alps. I designed these tours to include the best of the region. Wander the Medieval town of Annecy, nicknamed the Venice of the French Alps, and take a boat ride on its crystal blue lake. Are you a foodie? Taste local chocolates, cheeses, wines and walnut oils or eat at award-winning restaurants. Impressed by stunning views? See the world from a 12,300 foot mountain or from Europe's second steepest funicular. Are you the adventurous type? Then take a parasailing ride with your instructor. Are you a history buff? Satisfy your curiosity at Lyon's Old Town and Basilica or Vienne's Roman Temple and Museum. Or just enjoy watching the parasailers and sunset at a catered outdoor dinner on the top of a mountain overlooking Annecy's lake. 2013 Tour will be June 8-15. $2,650 with early booking discounts. See you in the French Alps! http://www.french-alps-tours.com/
