MONPAZIER, BIRON CHATEAU AND PREHISTORIC PARK - DORDOGNE

This is how i would look if i was a caveman. Notice how my head is so small compared to my body.

This is an example of how they built the troglodyte houses into the cliff.

This is one of the real caves that used to collect water that dripped from the rock. It also protected them when they were under threat of attack.

This is La Roc De Cazelle. It showed us the history cave men as well as caves and a real troglodyte home that the people only stopped living in the 1970's.

This is me in the attic of the castle. The roof is made of tiles. The tiles had a hook bit which allowed them to hook onto the beam and not slide off the roof.

This is the Chateau Biron. It is a huge castle which we visited.

This is the village of Monpazier. This village is also one of the most beautiful villages in France. It is a medieval bastide town which was founded in the year 1284. A bastide town is a fortified town which means walled like a fort for protection.

LOIRE - VILLAGE ETABLOU

My directors seat

Wheat fields surrounding our property.

A castle in the village near our house.

The house where we are staying.

Right now I am in the Loire region of France in a country village called Etablou. We live in a cottage with a big backyard and swimming pool. Surrounding our house are huge yellow wheat fields. I like it because it has a large area to run around. There is a little path that goes through a small forest near the house. The weather is getting warmer. We have a swimming pool and we went for a swim. There is a nice cherry tree behind the house that I climb. I call it my "Directors Seat". Our house is hundreds of years old and has big wooden beams on the ceiling and shutters on the windows. My bedroom is in the attic and is like a little cave.

ARC TRIOMPHE AND THE OBELISK

Here i am with the Ibelisk behind me.

Here I am looking at the Eiffel Tower through the telescope.

This is the view from the top!

This is me standing on one of the 284 steps leading to the top of the Arc Triomphe.

Today I went to the Arc De Triomphe. To get there we walked up the famous street called Champs El ysee. To get to Arc De triomphe we had to go through a tunnel because on top of the tunnel there is a round about which goes around the bottom of the Arc De Tromphe with lots of traffic. When we got to it we had to go up 284 steps to get to the top. At the top I could see all of Paris. I also saw the Eiffel Tower and the Obelisk.

I saw an obelisk called The Obelisk of Luxor. It is also knonw as Cleapatras needle. It is 23m high and weighs 250 tons.
