The Château d'Arques - see above - is a ruined Cathar Castel built in the 14th-century in the commune of Arques in the "Aude department" of France. The construction was paid by "Gilles de Voisins"...
Not too far from where I live.... I've been there.
There is a beautiful castle in the village where I live... It looks like the castle of Cinderella.
I'll take an image.

This is the village where I live in South of France by the Mediterranean Sea.
There is a very old castle (see image) at 1 mn walk from my house. The village is surrounded by vineyards.

I guess I am gradually understanding why France is the most-visited country (at least in Europe). A number of you post incredible images of France. :)
I have been there, but only once (to date), 'way back in 1987.

France is the number one visited country in the world....
Spain is number two.

By number of international visitors, France is the #1 destination in the World indeed. And it does makes sense, there are a lot of different parts of the country that is worth seeing. In fact, all the countries in the list makes sense, maybe except Austria if you ask me :)

Here is the most recent list.

By tourism revenue, US is number one and France is number 4 after Spain and the UK.

Which is more interesting, because if you do the math, which I did, you find that average spending per person is ca $686 when visiting France, which is less than all the other top 5 countries in the list. For reference, average spending per person for people visiting United Arab Emirates is $3108.

Looking across the Chateau Park at Sychrov and its gardens. Since 1945 Sychrov has been under state ownership. Open to the public since 1950. In 1990s, a restoration effort was undertaken with the goal of bringing appearance of the chateau as close to the original look as possible. Since 1995, Sychrov has been protected as a Czech national cultural heritage monument.
I've seen golfing greens with worse grass. Better than a baseball infield. :cool:
