Twelve is the number of Aveyron, a department located in the Midi-Pyrénées region in the south of France. The region covers the middle of the Pyrenees chain and the Garonne Valley, further north. This is the department where one of the most famous wild children, Victor, was found. In 1970, "Wolfboy of Aveyron" became the protagonist of "L'Enfant sauvage", a French film about an unusual find almost 75 years ago.

The highest station of the Gates of the Sun - Avoriaz

Imagine a snow-covered town among mountain peaks without cars - this is Avoriaz, the only ecological ski station in France. There is a total ban on car traffic here, and there are skiers and horse-drawn carriages and sleighs on the streets. The system of city lifts allows you to ski anywhere, from the very moment you leave the hotel. What else makes a special impression on tourists? The chasm overlooked by a part of the residence and the amazing futuristic architecture of buildings, somewhat reminiscent of multi-story beehives. In the 1980s, they were designed by an architect named Avoriaz, to whom the town also owes its name. It was then that the Gates of the Sun, or Les Portes du Soleil, were created, connecting Swiss Morgins and Chamery and French La Chapelle, Morzine and Chata.

Eze soothing senses

The charm of narrow streets interspersed with flowering terraces overlooking the bay - this is Eze's description. This beautiful town on the French Riviera will captivate everyone who visits it. It is the best therapy for confused senses. On the rocky French coast, almost 500 meters above sea level, lies a charming village. A picturesque road leads to it, patiently climbing up. You can get to the top of the hill where Eze is located after paying a fee. While climbing, many people will remember the fear of heights, but it is worth suffering for a while - after reaching the place, our eyes will see wonderful views. On sunny days, you can see Corsica and Saint-Tropez, and in the distance you can see the bridge that leads to Eze.

Sweet Orleans – image 1

Places to visit

Orleans is associated with Joan of Arc, with the stone spans of the Royal Bridge hidden in the morning mist, with the gleaming colorful glow of the gothic facade of Hôtel Groslot, as well as with profiteroles, sweet puffs covered with hot chocolate. Who has not heard of the Maid of Orléans? Probably everyone knows about Joan of Arc, for the same city she came from is not even half known as she is. A pity, because it has many advantages and even more charm. Malicious people call them - quite unfairly - the suburbs of Paris. Perhaps as a child's revenge for moving the capital here in the 15th century, after the city was liberated from the English occupation?.
