Download or read book FRANCE Guided by Saint Louis written by Louis De Montarlot and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new way to discover France France is the most visited country in the world. Most visitors want to see Paris only, for its monuments and museums, or the French Riviera for its glamour. When the French regions are discovered, it is mostly through wine tours, restaurant experiences, or sporting events. Catholic tourists often limit their pilgrimages to Lourdes, Lisieux or Chartres. Most of beautiful smaller cities, a large part of provinces which is the real heart of the country, remain unknown by millions of tourists from around the world. How many of them have been behind the unique ramparts of Aigues Mortes, door to the wild camargue, or in the old streets of Brioude, so typical of Auvergne, or in Soissons, in the rich Picardy, where the French Monarchy originated? Many want to go beyond, to understand the spirit of some hidden places. But they need a purpose, a plan and a flexible schedule to suit their time and budget. This book is for them. The goal of their trip will not be the Eiffel tower or the Louvre, Cannes or Monte Carlo, the Champagne or Burgundy cellars, the Tour d'Argent or Bocuse starred restaurants, the Tour de France or Le Mans racing events. It will be the discovery of a largely unknown France, guided by one of the most important kings of its history, Saint Louis, in the cities he loved and the splendid monuments he created in the 13rd century. Thanks to him, you will visit 10 lovely towns and discover not only what he saw himself eight centuries ago, but also what is to be seen today. Even Paris, which is included, will be rediscovered from his view.

Download or read book Saint Louis and the Last Crusade written by Margaret Ann Hubbard and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 30th title in the very popular, award-winning series of Vision Books on the lives of saints and heroes for youth 9 - 15 years old. Louis IX of France, who took the throne in 1226, had one aim in life - to be a good king. Guided by the advice of his mother, he ruled well and was beloved by his people. At the age of twenty-eight he took the cross of the crusade and, with his army, set out for Egypt to defeat the Saracens, the most energetic enemies of the Holy Land. Instead, the Saracens charged to victory and imprisoned Louis, whose saintly conduct while in prison shamed his captors. Released, and after another miserable failure in Palestine, he returned to France broken in health but still fired with the desire to liberate the Holy Land. And so again, St. Louis led his men out from France, this time on the last crusade.
