City of Bath!

Hello everybody!

Last monday we slept in the city of Bath. Bath is a city localized to the west of Bristol in south-west of England. 

Bath was built by the romans in 43 before J-C. They selected this place because there were thermal water. Bath widen during centuries through this touristic activities. Now, there are 84 000 residents. 

Roman history is always present in the city.

It is Abbey-church of saint Peter and saint Paul. The last restoration work was made in 1860 by George Gilbert Scott.

One Characteristic is the remarkable fine van vaulting.

Entrance of the roman's bath. This  site is the most famous and the oldest of the city.  The price for visit is 12,50£. 

We haven't seen more of this picture because we hadn't a time (and the money) for all do.

This picture was made in front of  the coach station. The first impressions were very good because it is a white and bright city. It changes as compared with normal England red cities. 

Exemple of Bath's place.

The old city is surrounded by canals.

When we walked on the canal, we can saw a other view of the city.

The Bath's stadium of rugby is near to center and we had made a short visit of it.

In all the town, spaces remind of roman's age.

Lastly, Bath is a really very nice and fun city! It is indispensable of visit him when we visit the Great-Britain!

Cardiff in Wales

Hi everyone, 

Last wednesday we went to Cardiff, capital of Wales. We have really enjoyed the city, let us tell you how was this trip ! 

We arrived at 11.30 AM from Bristol, that we visited the day before. First we decided to see the Millenium Stadium, the famous area of the wales rugby team. The stadium is in the center of the city, it was easy to find it. 

The Millenium Stadium 

 Most of us really like rugby, so we decided to visit the stadium together. There was a visit which started at 1 PM, so after lunch, we went to the meeting point to begin. We learnt lot of things with the guide about the stadium. In fact, it is a multifonction stadium which can receive 74 000 persons for differents events like rugby or soccer games, but concerts and runs too. It is the third biggest stadium for rugby behind Stade de France and Twinckenham and it has a retractable roof. 

The amazing size of the Millenium 

 

 

We came on by the players reception and we visited the changing room of the wales team, the conference room too.

After this, we went in one of the lunch room localized behind the tribunes of the second floor. These rooms can be sell for one match, but you have to reserve two years in advance! The price depends of the game (which team, which period...)

In cardiff there is a castle too. We didn't visit it because it was expensive, but we walked in the parc near of the castle.
