Французский город Лион похож на Нижний. Только в Лионе не две реки, а три: Рона, Сона и Божоле. А горный Крым похож только на горный Крым. И путешествовать по нему лучше не летом. Смотрите сами...
Мы над Бахчисараем. Вот, где понятно, как этот город-сад, а именно так переводится его название с персидского, скрыт в ущелье. Улица, проложенная по правому берегу речки Чурук-Су, делит город на две неравные части. Эта главная улица тянется около трех километров. Сначала она называется улица Ракидского, потом Ленина, потом Роза Люксембург и в конце еще раз меняет название. С одной стороны нависают скалы. Под ними старые средневекового типа домики с балконами мушараби, подпорные стены, лестницы. Город находится между внешней и внутренней грядами Крымских гор. Берег моря в 15-20 км отсюда, а значит, в ущелье проникает и морской воздух, и степной, и горно-лесной. Путешественники же еще 100 лет назад замечали хаотичность застройки Бахчисарая. Бахчисарай, говорили, будто в яму насыпан. Издали дома куча на куче. Одни сбегают с одной горы, другие с другой. Но эта видимая хаотичность не столько произвол строителей, сколько требования рельефа. Главная улица с обеих сторон была застроена ремесленными мастерскими, лавчонками, харчевнями, постоялыми дворами. Славились в Бахчисарае ювелиры, башмачники, изготовлявшие сафьяновые сапоги и туфли. Но и карабины, ножи и кинжалы здесь получались лучше турецких.
Здесь же еще один до сих пор живой пример пещерного города. Редкий, потому что после присоединения Крыма к России пещерные города опустели. Их жители спустились на землю. Но вот, как мы видим, не все. Бахчисарайский Свято Успенский монастырь один из старейших в Крыму. Он появился предположительно в конце VIII, начале IX веков неподалеку от пещерного города Чуфут-кале. Вообще, специалисты считают, что было несколько видов пещерных городов: действительно города для жизни, хорошо укрепленные крепости-замки и христианские монастыри. В пещерах были монашеские кельи, храмы, ризницы, усыпальницы и другие обычные для монастырей помещения.
И вот первые монастыри особенно интересны историей появления. Возникновение их связывают с иконоборческим движением Византии. А это самое движение было внутриполитической борьбой между светской властью Византии и монастырями. Византийские императоры издавали документы и даже созывали церковной Собор, чтобы объявить почитание икон незаконным идолопоклонством. При этом императоры на самом деле просто стремились сломить экономическое могущество Церкви и перетянуть одеяло на себя. Крупные монастыри ликвидировались. Их имущество переходило в собственность государства. Монахов силой заставляли жениться или отправляли в армию. Они бежали и стекались в Крым, где искали спасения в скалах. Иногда размеры пещерных монастырей были весьма велики. Причем у каждого монастыря было свое собственное имущество, а священник нанимался служить за отдельную плату. Вступая в такой монастырь, монах либо покупал себе участок, либо брал его в аренду и сразу же становился работником, и из этого состояния вряд ли когда-нибудь выбирался. Чуфут-кале, рядом с которым действует до сих пор Свято Успенский монастырь, самый сохранившийся и популярный у туристов пещерный город. Крепость была хорошо укреплена. А в XIII веке город стал Татарской крепостью, в которой татары поселили караимов. Тех самых караимов, не официальной столицей которых теперь считается Евпатория. Так мало этого народа осталось в мире. После ухода татаров в Бахчисарай караимы остались в пещерном городе. И город получил название Чуфут-кале, иудейская крепость.
На вершине горы Мангуп руины самого большого по площади древнего года. В этом труднодоступном месте спасались от готов и гуннов аланосарматы еще в III-IV веках. А в X веке Мангуп был уже довольно крупным городом. В средние века здесь укрепилось княжество Феодора. Причем кроме городов и замков, располагавшихся на соседних горах, местным князьям принадлежало южное побережье от Алушты до Балаклавы. С таким богатым семейством мечтали породниться правители других стран, в том числе Московский князь. Иван III направлял сюда послов, чтобы сосватать дочь. Помешало вторжение турок. И все же в XV веке после шестимесячной осады Мангуп был разграблен и сожжен. Эскекермен – другая, неприступная в VI-VII веках, крепость. Византийские инженеры по приказу императора Юстиниана спланировали ее для защиты Херсонеса и подступов к нему.
В попытках изучить все лабиринты скальных городов стоит помнить о времени и о том, что темно в Крыму становится резко и сразу. Не успел спуститься – оставайся наверху. Интересный, конечно, вариант, чтобы прочувствовать прелести пещерной жизни. Если этот вариант возможен для вас, запаситесь фонариками.
Может кому-то кажется, что весна или осень не время для путешествия в Крым. Тогда вот вам еще эти огромные просторы фантазийно задуманного рельефа. Кипучая летняя зелень закрывает собой больше половины этой красоты. Зато речки будут похолодней, хотя и летом они не близки к купальной норме. Правда, это не пугает путешественников. А вот и водопад “Серебряные струи”, который в летнем полноводном варианте мы уже видели. Впрочем, его жизнь наблюдатели фиксируют в каждом сезоне. Это и правда интересная игра природы при любой температуре воды и воздуха. В разной степени наполненности знаменитых серебряных струй своя прелесть.
Ну, и несколько часов прогулки по лесу должны быть вознаграждены знакомством с крымским Большим каньоном. В горном Крыму каньонов и ущелий больше десятка, но ни одно из них не сравнится с Большим каньоном. Высота его отвесных цен достигает 300-320 метров, а ширина там внизу, у дна, сужается до трех-четырех. Чем дальше вглубь Большого каньона, тем труднее путь. Каньон был нанесен на топографические карты еще до революции. А в 1925 году появился даже фильм “По Большому каньону Крыма”. В 30-х годах прошлого столетия сюда уже вовсю водили туристов. Однако без проводников путешествие по каньону может быть довольно опасным мероприятием. Особенно если идут дожди. Это же самое настоящее ущелье с камнепадами, валунами на дне, холодной рекой и всем, чем положено. Зато вот, где можно представить, как 150-160 млн. лет назад в окрестностях Ай-петри извергались вулканы. Или как еще раньше весь Крым был покрыт водой. Над ним был древний вариант Тетис. Поэтому здесь так много желтого камня ракушечника, из которого в Крыму строят дома, в котором остатки морских раковин. Их легко можно увидеть.
Вершина же Ай-петри – это ничто иное, как огромный коралловый риф. Зубцы, которыми украшен Ай-петри, появились гораздо позже под действием выветривания, когда гора стала настоящей горой, а не морским дном. Ну, а в виде каньона это чудо Света относительно молодое образование. Ему всего то около 2-х млн. лет. Каньон живет своей очень медленной каменной жизнью. Речка Ауза-Узень течет по его дну. Когда идут дожди, превращается в бурный поток, ворочает камни, обкатывает их, шлифует форму. Каньон очень медленно меняет свои очертания, так что остается живым памятником природы. Пока вода проходит под землей и просачивается сквозь камень, она очищается. Так что в горных источниках самая вкусная вода. А горы пронизаны воронками, шахтами, ходами, которые она строит. Карстовые процессы постепенно превращают горы в подобие губки или пемзы. Поэтому почти каждый год спелеологи открывают новые пещеры. За взгляд на Крым с серьезной высоты спасибо нашим туристам, Наталье и Владимиру Цветковым. За кадром, понятно, остался инициатор пещерных походов.

Наталья Цветкова, путешественница:
- Вот он меня в пещеры водил. Он никогда не был в пещерах. В этом году сходили. Тоже впечатлился. Мне очень понравилось. Шли туда километров, наверное, 20 как раз, 25 пешком туда-обратно. Но это он был сподвижником, настаивал, чтобы мы туда попали и пешком прогулялись. Я люблю смену настроений, смену мест, новых людей, само ощущение путешествия. Когда работаешь полгода, устаешь очень сильно. Мне нужно как минимум раза два-три куда-то съездить, отдохнуть. Отдых не пассивный, не просто на пляже, а активный. Это очень нужно.
А теперь понемногу о разном. Порча нравов местных жителей, ужасающие впечатления на детей – такие обвинения департамент туризма Гоа предъявляет туристам. Особенно отличились своим неформальным поведением русские и англичане. Мужчины разгуливают по улицам без маек, а женщины в мини-юбках. На пляже дамы загорают топлесс и ходят в бикини. Местные власти даже напечатали карманное руководство по поведению на территории штата, естественно на русском и английском.
Одна из Варшавских газет недавно опубликовала список странных запретов в транспорте. В Варшавском поезде даже опытные картежники всегда проигрывают контролерам. Раскинул карты – плати штраф. Хотя в законе о железнодорожном транспорте запрещены только азартные игры – покер, баккара и блэкджек. На Мазаветской железной дороге на это внимание не обращают. А вот в Варшавском метрополитене главное не бегать по перрону и лестницам. Штраф 25 евро. В Варшаве был еще один странный запрет – в городских автобусах нельзя было разговаривать по сотовому телефону. Недавно разрешили.
Стрижка овец, сенокос, перегон скота – такой вид отдыха городским жителям предлагают исландские фермеры, супруги Маргарет Ярдер и Якоб Сигурцен. У них четыреста овец и две собаки. Работы полно. Размещают туристов в шестиместных номерах. В свободное от сельскохозяйственных работ время фермеры предлагают гостям развлечься – изучать окрестности или собирать ягоды.
Для этой экскурсии по Буэнос-Айресу нужны кроссовки, спортивный костюм и хорошая физическая подготовка. Экскурсия на бегу – новый вид туризма в Аргентинской столице. Длится такая пробежка всего полтора часа. Дистанция 15 км. Подсчитано, что за это время можно хотя бы краем глаза увидеть многие достопримечательности, в том числе магазины и бутики. Гиды, не сбавляя темпа, успевают еще и фотографировать туристов на фоне знаменитых памятников. Тур устраивается даже для одного человека. Цена $12.
Мечтаете найти клад? Отправляйтесь на Мальту и записывайтесь в тур под названием “Поиски в храмах”. Вариантов маршрутов несколько, от простых до самых сложных, с головоломками и древними тайнами. Подсказки спрятаны в музеях и храмах, куда вход для участников туров бесплатный. Организаторы экскурсии хотят, чтобы их страну не только любили, но и знали.

Почему этот город называют Парижем? Детали французской архитектуры? Да, конечно. Он в центре Франции? Это тоже так. Он прекрасен на столько, что его непременно стоит увидеть? И это тоже. Только вот умирать после знакомства с Лионом не просто ни к чему, а не получится. Потому что Лион, а вовсе не Париж, настоящая гастрономическая столица Франции. Здесь хотя бы день-два, а лучше неделю стоит пожить и научиться чувствовать жизнь именно в гастрономическом смысле. В какой бы лионской гостинице вы не остановились, в окне, как в картинной раме, будет правильный пейзаж, почти идеальный. Желтый и оранжевый домики, слепленные друг с другом, или перекресток на 8 лучей, или прозрачная аллея, или узкая улочка с ажурными балконами. И вот в этом, как многие правильно считают, и есть сходство с Парижем. Только с Парижем 30-х годов. Ну, и главное. Из вашего французского окна будет виден маленький ресторанчик, в который вы обязательно зайдете. Этого не может не случиться, потому что в Лионе по статистике один ресторан или кафе на двоих горожан. Туристы, конечно, эту потрясающую статистику нарушают. Но мест, где можно со вкусом присесть, все равно хватает. Бушоны, т.е. закусочные, и даже скорее трактиры, где можно перекусить и накормить лошадь. Этим занимались в бушонах само собой 100 лет назад. Позднее в них завтракали и ужинали лионские ткачи. Сами понимаете, это вовсе не пафосное заведение. Тесные комнатки, а из закрытой на кухню двери доносятся скворчание и ароматы простой, совершенно простой и недорогой еды. Кому-то эти ароматы могут даже не понравиться. Ну, а если вы не против окунуться в пролетарское прошлое Лиона, сидите и нюхайте. Хозяйская семья непременно поставит на стол сначала воду, потом кир – смесь белого вина и смородинового ликера. Наконец, без божоле никуда. Как можно в Лионе без божоле на столе. Некоторые знатоки даже говорят, что в Лионе не две реки, а три – Рона, Сона и Божоле. Кстати о реках. Вы уже конечно вспомнили, что в Лионе встречаются Рона и Сона, как в нашем Нижнем Волга и Ока. Только лионцы не так мучительно стоят в пробках перед мостами, потому что мостов в этом городе больше двадцати. Ну, мы проедем мимо, только краем глаза взглянем на набережную в поиске удивительных лионских угощений. Если кто скажет, не в гастрономии счастье, сразу ошибется. Если мы во Франции, половина счастья этого народа точно начинается на столе. И возможно для нас это вполне постижимая половина. Понять ее красоту во всяком случае легче, чем другие знакомые нам иноземные привычки. Только надо сразу понять, за стол садятся не для того, чтобы набить живот, а для того, чтобы медленно и подробно радоваться жизни. Патье Фонтен, шеф-повар эксклюзивного отеля-замка Баньоль, руководил рестораном в Лионе. Теперь вот делает счастливее постояльцев этого замка. На столько, что они сразу запоминают истину. Лион для ресторанного дела – то же, что Формула1 для автомобилистов. Приготовление сладостей – шоу не меньшего накала страстей, чем чемпионат мира по футболу. Когда в Лион съезжаются кондитеры 20 стран на свой Кубок, сюда же направляются и любители поесть. Особенные гурманы останавливаются в роскошном замке Баньоль. Чтобы увидеть собственную роскошь, надо понять, почему камень, из которого построен замок в тридцати километрах от Лиона, называют золотым. Здесь все светится теплом и гостеприимством. А превратила замок в отель пара англичан. Они сумели объединить музейную мебель с современным комфортом. Наполнить 20 номеров и 8 люксов отеля индивидуальной жизнью, сохранить фрески и вдохнуть домашний свет в каменные стены этих древних помещений.
XIII век не шутка. 150 предметов здесь подлинники хранителей времени. Нет, они не с XIII века живут в этом замке, а вовсе несколько лет. Но то, что хозяйка собирала их по всей стране, даже драгоценней для гостей. Если б вам предложили провести здесь несколько дней, конечно, вы бы выбрали не просто номер, а комнату в башне. Ну, чтобы аромат времени смешать с ароматом лионского пространства.
Мы вернемся в Лион, чтобы продолжить знакомство с эстетическими ценностями французов. А именно с лионской колбасой. Популярность колбасного жанра объяснить просто. Помните, это ж пролетарский город. У рабочих семей не было средств на изысканные мясные блюда. В ход шли свиные ножки и требуха. То, что легко перерабатывалось в фарш и то, что вкусно исключительно в свежем виде. Поэтому до сих пор французские гастрономы главным секретом называют свежесть продуктов. Не поспоришь. Хорошая еда начинается только на рынке. Ну, а лионская колбаса, что б вы не ошиблись, это темно-красная начинка с аккуратными квадратиками жира на срезе. Подают ее с хлебом и маслом плюс истекающая соком редиска. Такой стандартный набор. Спецтехнология, представьте, связана с невысокой скоростью работы мясорубки исключительно для того, чтобы фарш не нагревался. Иначе вкус изменится до неузнаваемости.
Таким запомним Лион. Город, похожий на наш, если смотреть на карту и на пролетарское происхождение тоже. Лион, который запоминают на вкус те, кто знают толк в гастрономии.
Продолжение следует...
The French city of Lyon is similar to the bottom. Only in Lyon, not two rivers and three: Ron, Son, and Beaujolais. A mountain Crimea is similar only in mountain Crimea. And it is better to travel than in summer. See for yourself ...
We're working on Bakhchisarai. Here's where it is clear how this garden city, and it is translated from the Persian name is hidden in the gorge. Street, built on the right bank of the river Tchuruk-Su, divides the city into two unequal parts. This main street stretches about three miles. First, it is called street Rakidskogo, then Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg and then at the end once again changed its name. On the one hand hanging rock. Underneath the old medieval type houses with balconies musharabi, retaining walls, stairs. The city is located between the inner and outer ridges of the Crimean Mountains. Seashore, 15-20 km away, which means that the canyon penetrates the sea air, and the steppe, and mountain forest. Travelers also 100 years ago noticed the chaotic development Bakhchisarai. Bakhchisarai told that poured into the pit. From a distance, a lot of homes on the heap. Some run away from one mountain, the other on the other. But this apparent randomness is not so much outrage builders, as requirements of the relief. Main Street on both sides was built craft shops, hole-in-the-wall, taverns, inns. Famous in Bakhchisarai jewelers, shoemakers who made morocco boots and shoes. But shotguns, knives and daggers are better obtained Turkish.
Here is another still living example of Cave City. Rare, because after joining the Crimea to Russia cave cities were deserted. Their people down to earth. But here, as we see, not all. Bakhchisarai Holy Assumption Monastery is one of the oldest in the Crimea. He appeared at the end of presumably VIII, IX centuries beginning near the cave city Chufut feces. In general, experts believe that there were several species of cave cities: the city is really for life, well-fortified fortress-castles and Christian monasteries. The caves were monastic cells, churches, vestry, tombs and monasteries to the other usual facilities.
So the first monasteries are particularly interesting story appeared. Their appearance is associated with iconoclastic movement of the Byzantine Empire. And this is the movement was the power struggle between the secular authority of Byzantium and the monasteries. The Byzantine emperors published documents, and even convened a church council to declare illegal the veneration of icons idolatry. At the same time the emperors really just wanted to break the economic power of the Church and to pull the blanket over himself. Major monasteries were abolished. Their property passed into state ownership. The monks were forced to marry by force or sent to the army. They fled, and flocked to the Crimea, where he sought refuge in the rocks. Sometimes the size of cave monasteries were very great. And in each monastery had its own property, and the priest was hired to serve for a fee. Entering into a monastery, a monk or buy yourself a site or take it out and immediately became an employee of this state, and hardly ever chosen. Calais, next to which is still in the Holy Monastery of the Assumption, the most preserved and popular with tourists cave city. The castle was well fortified. And in the XIII century the city became a fortress of Tatar, in which the Tatars settled Karaites. Ever Karaites, not the official capital of which is now considered Evpatoria. So few of these people left in the world. After the departure of Tatars in Bakhchisaray Karaites remained in the cave-town. The city was named Chufut feces, a Jewish fortress.
At the top of the mountain Mangup ruins of the largest area of ancient years. In this remote place fled from the Goths and Huns alanosarmaty still in III-IV centuries. And in the X century Mangup was quite a large city. In the Middle Ages strengthened principality Theodore. And apart from towns and castles, situated on the nearby mountains, the local princes belonged to the southern coast from Alushta to Balaklava. With such a rich family dreaming to become related rulers of other countries, including the Moscow prince. Ivan III sent ambassadors here to marry off a daughter. Prevented the invasion of the Turks. And yet, in the XV century, after a six-month siege Mangup was looted and burned. Eskekermen - another, unassailable in VI-VII centuries, the fortress. Byzantine engineers on the orders of Emperor Justinian to protect its planned Chersonese and approaches to him.
In an effort to examine all the mazes of rock formations to remember about the time and that the dark in the Crimea is sharply and immediately. Do not have time to go down - stay on top. Interesting, of course, the option to experience the delights of cave life. If this option is available to you, please be lanterns.
Can anyone think spring or autumn is not the time to travel to the Crimea. Then here you have these vast spaces of fantasy conceived relief. Vigorous old green covers are more than half of this beauty. But the river will be colder, while in summer they swim close to the norm. True, it does not frighten travelers. And here is the waterfall "Silver Streams", which is overwhelmingly in the summer version, we've already seen. However, observers record his life in every season. This is really interesting freak of nature at any temperature of water and air. In varying degrees of fullness of the famous silver jet has its own charm.
Well, a few hours walking through the forest should be rewarded with an acquaintance with the Crimean Grand Canyon. In the mountainous Crimea canyons and gorges more than a dozen, but none of them can compare to the Grand Canyon. The height of its steep price reaches 300-320 meters long and down there at the bottom, tapering to three or four. The farther into the interior of the Grand Canyon, the more difficult path. Canyon was deposited onto a topographic map before the Revolution. In 1925 there was even a movie "In the Grand Canyon of Crimea". In the 30s of last century here were taken already in full of tourists. However, no trip wires along the canyon can be very dangerous undertaking. Especially if it rains. It's the same thing now with Valley rockfalls, boulder at the bottom of a cold river and all that is necessary. But here, where you can submit as 150-160 million years ago in the vicinity of the Ai-Petri erupting volcanoes. Or even earlier as the entire Crimea was covered with water. Above him was an ancient version of the Tethys. Therefore, there are so many yellow stone of shell from which to build homes Crimea, where the remains of sea shells. They can easily be seen.
The top of the same Ai-Petri - is nothing but a huge coral reef. The teeth, which is decorated with the Ai-Petri, came much later under the influence of weathering, when the mountain was a real mountain, not the sea floor. Well, in the form of the canyon is a miracle of light is relatively young education. He was just then about 2 million years. Canyon live their lives very slow rock. The river flows Auza Uzen along its bottom. When it rains, turns into a raging torrent, turned stones, a trial run of them, grinds form. Canyon is slowly changing its shape, so it remains a living monument to nature. As long as the water flows underground and seeps through the stone, it is cleared. So in the mountain springs the most delicious water. And the mountains are penetrated holes, shafts, passages, which it builds. Karst processes are gradually turning the mountain into the likeness of a sponge or pumice stone. Therefore, almost every year, the cavers discover new caves. Over view of the Crimea with serious altitude thanks to our visitors, Natalia and Vladimir Tsvetkov. Behind the scenes, of course, was the initiator of the cave tours.Natalia Tsvetkova, traveler:
- Here he led me into the cave. He had never been in a cave. This year went. Too impressed. I really liked it. We walked miles back, probably just 20, 25 foot back and forth. But this he was an associate, insisted that we got there and walked on foot. I like to change attitudes, change places, new people, the very feeling of traveling. When you work for six months, you get tired a lot. I need at least two or three times to go somewhere and relax. Holidays are not passive, not just on the beach and active. It is very necessary.
Now a little about various things. Deterioration of morals locals horrific experience for children - such accusations Tourism Department of Goa presents visitors. Especially distinguished his conduct informal Russian and English. Men walk the streets without shirts and women in miniskirts. On the beach and sunbathe topless ladies walking in a bikini. The local authorities even printed a pocket guide for behavior in the state, of course in Russian and English.
One of the Warsaw newspapers recently published a list of nationwide ban in public transport. In the Warsaw train even experienced gamblers always lose supervisors. Spread card - pay the fine. Although the law on rail transport allowed only gambling - poker, baccarat and blackjack. At Mazavetskoy rail on it do not pay attention. But in the Warsaw metro important not to run on the platform and stairs. A fine of EUR 25. In Warsaw, there was another strange ban - on city buses could not talk on a cell phone. Recently been allowed.

Why is this town called Paris? Details of French architecture? Yes, of course. He is in the heart of France? This is also true. It is beautiful in so many that it should definitely see? And this, too. Only now die after meeting with Lyon is not just for anything, but will not work. Because Lyon, not Paris, this gastronomic capital of France. Here, at least a day or two, but better a week should live life and learn to feel it in the gastronomic sense. No matter what the Lyon hotel you stayed in the window, as in the picture frame is a regular landscape, almost perfect. Yellow and orange houses, molded to each other, or crossing an 8-rays, or transparent alley or narrow street with openwork balconies. And in this, as many believe correctly, and there are similarities with Paris. Only with Paris 30s. Well, the main thing. From your French windows will be visible to a small restaurant in which you are bound to go down. This can not happen, because in Lyon statistics a restaurant or cafe for two residents. Tourists, of course, this stunning statistics break. But the places where you can sit down with the taste, it is still missing. Bouchon, ie snack bars, and even more restaurants, where you can eat and feed the horse. This was done at Bouchon itself 100 years ago. Later, they lunched and dined Lyons weavers. You understand that this is not pathetic institution. Close rooms, and closed out the kitchen door and aromas waft skvorchanie simple, very simple and inexpensive meal. To some, these scents can not even enjoy. Well, if you do not mind a dip in the proletarian past Lyon, sit back and smell. The master's family certainly put on the table first water, then kir - a mixture of white wine and black currant liqueur. Finally, no Beaujolais nowhere. How can I Lyon without Beaujolais on the table. Some experts even say that Lyon are not the two rivers, and three - Ron, Son and Beaujolais. Speaking of rivers. You have certainly remembered that occur in Lyon Rhone and Saone, as in our Lower Volga and the Oka. Only liontsy not so painful to stand in traffic bridges, because bridges in this town more than twenty. Well, we go past, just look at the corner of my eye the embankment in search of amazing Lyons treats. If someone says no happiness in gastronomy, just wrong. If we are in France, half the happiness of the people just starting on the table. And maybe for us it is quite comprehensible half. To understand the beauty in any case better than others familiar Alien habits. Only need to understand at once, do not sit at the table in order to fill their stomach, and to slowly and thoroughly enjoy life. Pate Fontaine, chef exclusive castle hotel Bagnols, managed a restaurant in Lyon. Now here makes guests happier this castle. So much that they just remember the truth. Lyon for the catering business - the same as Formula 1 for motorists. Preparation of sweets - show no fewer passions than the football World Cup. When come to Lyon Confectioners 20 countries on his cup, here it is directed and food lovers. Special gourmet stay in a luxurious castle Bagnols. To see your own luxury, it is necessary to understand why the stone from which the castle was built about thirty kilometers from Lyon, called golden. Here, everything glows with warmth and hospitality. A castle turned hotel in a couple of Englishmen. They have managed to combine a museum furnished with modern comfort. Fill 20 rooms and 8 suites are individual life, to preserve the frescoes and breathe home in light of these ancient stone walls of the premises.
XIII Century is not a joke. 150 items are original keepers of time. No, they do not live in the XIII century in this castle, and did a few years. But the fact that the owner collected them throughout the country, even more precious for the guests. If you are asked to spend a few days, of course, you would have chosen not just a number, a room in the tower. Well, to mix the fragrance with the scent of the time Lyons area.
We will return to Lyon, to continue the acquaintance with the aesthetic values of the French. Namely, with the Lyons sausage. The popularity of the genre to explain just sausage. Remember, this is f proletarian city. In working-class families could not afford to delicious meat dishes. In the course of pork legs went and entrails. That it is easy to processed meats and the fact that only eat fresh. Therefore, so far the French gastronomy main secret is called freshness. Do not argue. Good food starts only on the market. Well, Lyon sausage, what would you make a mistake, it's dark red filling with neat squares of fat per slice. Serve it with bread and butter dripping juice plus radish. Such a standard set. Spetstehnologiya imagine, is associated with a low rate of only grinder to mince no heat. Otherwise, the taste will change beyond recognition.
So remember to Lyon. The city, like ours, if we look at the map and the proletarian origin, too. Lyon, who remember the taste of those who are experts in gastronomy.
To be continued ...
We're working on Bakhchisarai. Here's where it is clear how this garden city, and it is translated from the Persian name is hidden in the gorge. Street, built on the right bank of the river Tchuruk-Su, divides the city into two unequal parts. This main street stretches about three miles. First, it is called street Rakidskogo, then Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg and then at the end once again changed its name. On the one hand hanging rock. Underneath the old medieval type houses with balconies musharabi, retaining walls, stairs. The city is located between the inner and outer ridges of the Crimean Mountains. Seashore, 15-20 km away, which means that the canyon penetrates the sea air, and the steppe, and mountain forest. Travelers also 100 years ago noticed the chaotic development Bakhchisarai. Bakhchisarai told that poured into the pit. From a distance, a lot of homes on the heap. Some run away from one mountain, the other on the other. But this apparent randomness is not so much outrage builders, as requirements of the relief. Main Street on both sides was built craft shops, hole-in-the-wall, taverns, inns. Famous in Bakhchisarai jewelers, shoemakers who made morocco boots and shoes. But shotguns, knives and daggers are better obtained Turkish.
Here is another still living example of Cave City. Rare, because after joining the Crimea to Russia cave cities were deserted. Their people down to earth. But here, as we see, not all. Bakhchisarai Holy Assumption Monastery is one of the oldest in the Crimea. He appeared at the end of presumably VIII, IX centuries beginning near the cave city Chufut feces. In general, experts believe that there were several species of cave cities: the city is really for life, well-fortified fortress-castles and Christian monasteries. The caves were monastic cells, churches, vestry, tombs and monasteries to the other usual facilities.
So the first monasteries are particularly interesting story appeared. Their appearance is associated with iconoclastic movement of the Byzantine Empire. And this is the movement was the power struggle between the secular authority of Byzantium and the monasteries. The Byzantine emperors published documents, and even convened a church council to declare illegal the veneration of icons idolatry. At the same time the emperors really just wanted to break the economic power of the Church and to pull the blanket over himself. Major monasteries were abolished. Their property passed into state ownership. The monks were forced to marry by force or sent to the army. They fled, and flocked to the Crimea, where he sought refuge in the rocks. Sometimes the size of cave monasteries were very great. And in each monastery had its own property, and the priest was hired to serve for a fee. Entering into a monastery, a monk or buy yourself a site or take it out and immediately became an employee of this state, and hardly ever chosen. Calais, next to which is still in the Holy Monastery of the Assumption, the most preserved and popular with tourists cave city. The castle was well fortified. And in the XIII century the city became a fortress of Tatar, in which the Tatars settled Karaites. Ever Karaites, not the official capital of which is now considered Evpatoria. So few of these people left in the world. After the departure of Tatars in Bakhchisaray Karaites remained in the cave-town. The city was named Chufut feces, a Jewish fortress.
At the top of the mountain Mangup ruins of the largest area of ancient years. In this remote place fled from the Goths and Huns alanosarmaty still in III-IV centuries. And in the X century Mangup was quite a large city. In the Middle Ages strengthened principality Theodore. And apart from towns and castles, situated on the nearby mountains, the local princes belonged to the southern coast from Alushta to Balaklava. With such a rich family dreaming to become related rulers of other countries, including the Moscow prince. Ivan III sent ambassadors here to marry off a daughter. Prevented the invasion of the Turks. And yet, in the XV century, after a six-month siege Mangup was looted and burned. Eskekermen - another, unassailable in VI-VII centuries, the fortress. Byzantine engineers on the orders of Emperor Justinian to protect its planned Chersonese and approaches to him.
In an effort to examine all the mazes of rock formations to remember about the time and that the dark in the Crimea is sharply and immediately. Do not have time to go down - stay on top. Interesting, of course, the option to experience the delights of cave life. If this option is available to you, please be lanterns.
Can anyone think spring or autumn is not the time to travel to the Crimea. Then here you have these vast spaces of fantasy conceived relief. Vigorous old green covers are more than half of this beauty. But the river will be colder, while in summer they swim close to the norm. True, it does not frighten travelers. And here is the waterfall "Silver Streams", which is overwhelmingly in the summer version, we've already seen. However, observers record his life in every season. This is really interesting freak of nature at any temperature of water and air. In varying degrees of fullness of the famous silver jet has its own charm.
Well, a few hours walking through the forest should be rewarded with an acquaintance with the Crimean Grand Canyon. In the mountainous Crimea canyons and gorges more than a dozen, but none of them can compare to the Grand Canyon. The height of its steep price reaches 300-320 meters long and down there at the bottom, tapering to three or four. The farther into the interior of the Grand Canyon, the more difficult path. Canyon was deposited onto a topographic map before the Revolution. In 1925 there was even a movie "In the Grand Canyon of Crimea". In the 30s of last century here were taken already in full of tourists. However, no trip wires along the canyon can be very dangerous undertaking. Especially if it rains. It's the same thing now with Valley rockfalls, boulder at the bottom of a cold river and all that is necessary. But here, where you can submit as 150-160 million years ago in the vicinity of the Ai-Petri erupting volcanoes. Or even earlier as the entire Crimea was covered with water. Above him was an ancient version of the Tethys. Therefore, there are so many yellow stone of shell from which to build homes Crimea, where the remains of sea shells. They can easily be seen.
The top of the same Ai-Petri - is nothing but a huge coral reef. The teeth, which is decorated with the Ai-Petri, came much later under the influence of weathering, when the mountain was a real mountain, not the sea floor. Well, in the form of the canyon is a miracle of light is relatively young education. He was just then about 2 million years. Canyon live their lives very slow rock. The river flows Auza Uzen along its bottom. When it rains, turns into a raging torrent, turned stones, a trial run of them, grinds form. Canyon is slowly changing its shape, so it remains a living monument to nature. As long as the water flows underground and seeps through the stone, it is cleared. So in the mountain springs the most delicious water. And the mountains are penetrated holes, shafts, passages, which it builds. Karst processes are gradually turning the mountain into the likeness of a sponge or pumice stone. Therefore, almost every year, the cavers discover new caves. Over view of the Crimea with serious altitude thanks to our visitors, Natalia and Vladimir Tsvetkov. Behind the scenes, of course, was the initiator of the cave tours.Natalia Tsvetkova, traveler:
- Here he led me into the cave. He had never been in a cave. This year went. Too impressed. I really liked it. We walked miles back, probably just 20, 25 foot back and forth. But this he was an associate, insisted that we got there and walked on foot. I like to change attitudes, change places, new people, the very feeling of traveling. When you work for six months, you get tired a lot. I need at least two or three times to go somewhere and relax. Holidays are not passive, not just on the beach and active. It is very necessary.

Only liontsy not so painful to stand in traffic bridges, because bridges in this town more than twenty. Well, we go past, just look at the corner of my eye the embankment in search of amazing Lyons treats. If someone says no happiness in gastronomy, just wrong. If we are in France, half the happiness of the people just starting on the table. And maybe for us it is quite comprehensible half. To understand the beauty in any case better than others familiar Alien habits.

We will return to Lyon, to continue the acquaintance with the aesthetic values of the French. Namely, with the Lyons sausage. The popularity of the genre to explain just sausage. Remember, this is f proletarian city. In working-class families could not afford to delicious meat dishes. In the course of pork legs went and entrails. That it is easy to processed meats and the fact that only eat fresh. Therefore, so far the French gastronomy main secret is called freshness. Do not argue. Good food starts only on the market. Well, Lyon sausage, what would you make a mistake, it's dark red filling with neat squares of fat per slice. Serve it with bread and butter dripping juice plus radish. Such a standard set. Spetstehnologiya imagine, is associated with a low rate of only grinder to mince no heat. Otherwise, the taste will change beyond recognition.
