Italy, Piemonte: The Time Stopped in Tappia

Posted on November 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

After enjoying a long pause of slow food in Anzuno,

we hit the road to other villages, starting with Tappia. No need to go to the other side of the world to feel a change of scenery: the ubiquitous mountains (picture 11), beautiful church with baroque details (pictures 1 & 7), abandoned houses worthy of a movie set … And yes, the time stopped in Tappia!

The verdant dense nature wins on the thick gray stone of the traditional architecture (picture 6, the oldest house in the village). Deserted village with the exception of one family that lives there year-round, producing wine. We hear water trickling, relaxing (pictures 2 & 3). And from Tappia, you can access various walking trails I won’t have the opportunity to discover (pictures 4 & 10)! Already time to leave … To be continued …

Italie, Piemont: Tappia, un village du bout du monde

Posted on November 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

Après une longue pause slow food à Anzuno,

nous reprenons la route vers d’autres villages, à commencer par Tappia. Inutile d’aller à l’autre bout du monde pour se sentir dépayser : l’omniprésence des montagnes (photo 11), superbe église aux accents baroques (photos 1 & 7), bâtisses à l’abandon dignes d’un décor de cinéma… Nature dense et verdoyante qui gagne sur les vieilles pierres épaisses et grises, vestiges de l’architecture traditionnelle (photo 6, la plus vieille maison du village).

Village déserté à l’exception d’une unique famille qui y vit à longueur d’année, en produisant du vin. On entend de l’eau ruisseler, apaisant (photos 2 & 3). Depuis et vers Tappia, on accède à divers sentiers de marche que je n’aurai pas l’occasion de découvrir (photos 4 & 10)! Déjà nous devons repartir… à suivre…

Kent, UK: A walk in Sandwich

Posted on August 17, 2011 | Leave a comment

After the exceptional gardens of Walmer Castel, let’s stroll in the picturesque small streets of Sandwich. Look at the first picture, don’t you feel like being in the episodes of The Avengers! Lovely! Sandwich is a medieval town of Kent that used to be the most important port of England between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. The Saxon orign’s name of Sandwich meant sandy place, or the place on the sand. But what about Sandwich the food? Well, circa 1762, John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich and a burnt-out gambler, invented the sandwich. The legendary says while he was playing an endless game of cards, he asked for something to eat. The cook prepared him meat and cheese between bread to keep his hands clean. And our sandwich friend was born! Next stop : Whitestable’s seaside… sounds exciting too!
