On the Mediterranean Sea coast is the beautiful harbor city of Marseilles, which is also the oldest and second-largest city in France. The slides of Marseilles featured its rocky coastline and clear blue waters. In the north of France is the r^ion known as Brittany. Mrs. Winz commented that some of the older residents of Brittany speak a totally different language rather than French. Also seen in this region are prehistoric stone monuments very similar to those of Stonehenge in Great Britain. From Brittany, the slide show moved southward to Paris. Some of the scenes; presented were Notre Dame Cathedral, the Seine River, sidewalk cafes, and of course, the Eiffel Tower. At a castle garden outside of Paris, Mrs. Winz explained the difference between French and English gardens; the French are much more formal and arranged in geometrical patterns, while the English are more like a "cor^trolled wildness.’’ In Germany, Mrs. Winz and Patrice visit^ Louisburg, the second largest castle in the world (behind Versailles in France). This was in the heart of German wine country, and the two attended the Winefest held there. While travelling in Bavaria, Mrs. Winz and Patrice participated in a hike throu^ the Alps. Near the France-Germany border, Strasbourg and its cathedral was visited.
