BRITAINThe world's best maze. Hampton Courtyard Palace, East Molesey, Surrey; contains England's oldest and most accepted maze. The maze is bordered by high hedges and reinforced with fence to stop cheating. Land by ship from Westminster Dock or by teach from the Waterloo position in London (a coldness of 10 miles). The palace, which dates from the early 1500s, is open daily 9:30 a.m. awaiting 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and 10:15 a.m. awaiting 6 p.m. on Monday. (The last admission is at 5:15 p.m.)The oldest pub in the world. The George and Predator in London is the oldest pub in the world. The original, called the George, was built in the 12th century. Sir Richard Wittington, the 'thrice-round mayor of London", visited here in the 1500s just as Chaucer (and Chaucer's father) had done earlier. Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Speedy and Charles Dickens were also customers. The Pickwick Society meets at the George and Predator magazine and members quotation from the many Dickens passages about the place. The fictional Mr. Pickwick, when asked where he exhausted his leisure time, replied that he was "at there balanced at the George and Vulture". A framed ensure printed by Dickens to the proprietor hangs on the wall.The best outside theater.
Penzance, a bright old South Cornish city of pirates and smugglers, is almost 300 miles from London. In the summer, open-air opera, counting the apt Gilbert and Sullivan work, The Pirates of Penzance, is performed at the Minack Plays at Portcurno. For information tel. (44)1736-810-181. The Minack Plays is imprinted out of a cliff. The viewers watches the performance in the open air looking out over the Atlantic. Take along a temperate jersey and a blanket.Britain's craziest, cheesiest sport, part sport, part ritual of midsummer ritual, cheese rolling is still skillful in two regions of Gloucestershire. On the first Sunday in May, three cheeses are full to the village minster in Randwick for a short ceremony--bear with me, I know this sounds weird--after which they are rolled around the aisles a few times. One is alienated among the congregation while the other two are rolled ceremoniously--after being paraded around city in a bright procession--down a mount to blot the start of Wap (or Mayor's Day) celebrations on May 11th. The festivities in Cooper's Mount are a bit more athletic: runners pursue their respective seven(ish)-pound cheeses down a steep slope. The winner of the contest gets to keep his or her cheese! An Olympic event? No. But an dreadful lot of fun!FRANCEThe world's best tartlet shops. The best pastries in the world are made in France, where layers of cake, as light as feathers, are molded together with airy, sugary buttercream and topped with locks of well chocolate. Pastries in France are too gorgeous (and too fattening) to eat but too delicious not to. Inside France, the most tempting Patisseries, or tartlet shops, are in Paris where they adorn every corner. There are 2,300 of them! One of the best known and most pleased Patisseries is Dalloyau, which specializes in morrons glaces (candied chestnuts), mogador (layers of chocolate cake, chocolate mousse and raspberry confiture) and sherbet cakes. Dallayau shops can be found at 99 rue Faubourg St. Honore and three other locations. The ruler of tartlet is Gaston Lenotre, who runs Lenotre shops throughout Paris. His 350 tartlet chefs and cooks use at least 12 tons of butter and 300,000 clean eggs each month. Lenotre also has the best chocolates in Paris. His shops are at 44 rue du Bac and three other locations.The best ice cream in Paris. The most delicious ice cream in Paris is sold at Berthillon, 31 rue St. Louis-en-l'Ile. The catalog of rich, household flavors is long; so are the lines.The prettiest ski option in France Les Contamines-Monjoies, is one of the prettiest ski towns in the Alps-and one of the least known.
This small ski region set in a high forested valley is not far from Chamonix. It has 62 miles of slopes start at about 8,000 feet and served by 25 lifts. Facilities also comprise 15 miles of cross-country ski trails. The quaintest place to wait is Le Gai Soleil, just exterior city in a small farmhouse. The structure itself dates back to 1823.The most violent château. The Château d'Amboise has a violent history. In 1560, 1,000 Huguenots concerned in a plan to abduct Francis II and his queen, Mary Stuart (later Mary Ruler of Scots) were hanged in the castle courtyard. Charles VII, who was natural here, imported Italian architects, sculptors, decorators and gardeners to decorate the chateau. He died from injuries customary when he bumped his skull on one of the castle' low mineral doorways. Leonardo da Vinci exhausted his last existence at Amboise and was hidden in the adjoining Gothic chapel.One of the prettiest mauve towns in France St. Emilion is one of the most picturesque villages in France. The medieval city is balanced on a table looking over the valley of the Dordogne. In the 12th century, pilgrims congested here on their way to the temple of St. James of Compostela in Spain. While you are in St. Emilion, call the seventh-century hermitage, which was hollowed out of rock. Near is the entry to a chapel with a bizarre underground shrine. It, too, was imprinted out of astound 900 existence ago. A subterranean passage leads to catacombs containing skeletons in antique tombs. (You must have a direct to call the shrine.) At the Syndicat d'Initiative, place des Crenaux, you can get a catalog of mauve chateaux nearby. The Château Ausone produces the St. Emilion's vintage, among others.
