We are planning on staying a few days in Paris and then northern France. We would like to visit the following places:

1. Paris
2. Normandy
3. Tours
4. Chenonceaux
5. Chambord
6. Orleans

If anyone can give good advice on what things are a definite "must-have" to see in these places (please avoid the obvious like the Eifel Tower or the Louvre, etc.), as well as some "local secrets" that’d be awesome. Also, if there are any hostels in these areas that anyone reccomends or can comment accurately on, it would be appreciated. As far as transportation is concerned, any tips for riding the trains within France?

Thanks.

It is Jesus after he has been crucified and Mary is holding him. He is surrounded by a crowd and Calvary (Golgotha) is behind the crowd to the right with the three crosses. Anyone know the name and/or artist? That would be great! Thanks!
Thanks so much guys! That was it!

Why is this? http://www.ot-maurice.com/in-the-louvre-in-paris-france-a-large-number-of-sculptures-are-missing-their-noses-why-is-this/ http://www.ot-maurice.com/in-the-louvre-in-paris-france-a-large-number-of-sculptures-are-missing-their-noses-why-is-this/#comments Mon, 11 Jul 2011 00:24:47 +0000 admin http://www.ot-maurice.com/in-the-louvre-in-paris-france-a-large-number-of-sculptures-are-missing-their-noses-why-is-this/ A friend went to the Louvre in Paris, France recently and noticed that a large number of the sculptures were missing their noses. A lot of the Egyptian ones were missing noses, but also others as well, including the French collection, she said.

I understand that they are old, and the nose might be a weak point in the structure that could be lost, but is there some other event that might have caused a number of them to lose their noses at once? Was there some cultural reason? Does the nose have some particular significance? Is there a reason why some groups are missing them and not others?

Thanks!
