five hundred year old half timbered houses now service cafes cobbs nightclubs and restaurants. the top century roman catholic cathedral is one of ren's landmarks the site dates back to the sixth century father ben not old today has been in charge here since two thousand and five. i think i feature a was constructed in place of a roman temple at first it was a gothic cathedral but it had to be torn down because it became unstable reconstruction on this cathedral began in seventeen eighteen french artist are responsible for the modern elements of the altar. the city's fine examples of renaissance in your classical architecture include city

another gem in and then it is it's a fine arts museum located on the glen river. here visitors will find an extensive collection of european paintings from seventeenth century religious allegory to modern works. out to the fine arts museum is known above all for its collection of european paintings from the seventeenth century we have three big names including rubin's tiger lion and leopard hometown greatest work to receive and we have all the great pieces such as the famous painting from martin from him scare st luc painting the burj of europe with a family getting out of your shorts. and a visit to rend would not be complete without cups or god let the region specialty fix every cent and then the old part of town attracts both tourists and locals. have to look far as the restaurants crap expert and easily whips up one of

a dozen variations on offer. as i know i'm going to make a mushroom go at. first you take the batter for the connecticut which consists of buckwheat. you take one ladle and put it on the griddle and then you turn it to good use and want to tell me if. the owner will have fried egg on top you have a mushroom when you want. a mix of medieval and modern young and old a city that truly reflects the diversity of britain. and by the looks of it certainly a place to put on your bucket list the next time you're in fronts now there's

plenty of diversity in french cooking but now we're going to get to know a staple of the country's calorie culture. it's a traditional dish of chicken braised with lots of red wine the original version is from the burgundy region so we went there to see how the locals put it together. to this day the rooster is still france's unofficial national symbol. it decorates tables and proudly sits on the rooftops and if the rooster itself lands up in the cooking pot you can be sure cocoa van is on the menu the dish in which chicken is raised in wine is a classic of french cuisine who goes there is such. tastes of tradition family and warmth us what i think every culture has a dish that warms your heart to a girl it was a little zone and one of the best places to try an authentic version of this world

famous dish is at. the restaurant miles on the outskirts of being nice in burgundy the region where coco found was created. here frederick mina she and expert on chicken lets us to look over his shoulder. for the devil says we're probably going to move course there's a secret but i'm not telling you what it is a no no cooking is all about sharing like easy incident. to prepare a classical co-found you need to dismember an entire chicken. then add chopped onion small carrots garlic and a bundle of herbs but first fries some fatty bacon in a roasting pan. the piece of the bird to be salted individually and then placed in the pan with the bacon fat. then comes the

second main ingredient wine. business so you can make great food without great ingredients some it wants but he's there to serve the ingredients and not vice versa of the order in the out. of the chateau to my. in a vineyard in burgundy they feel the same way here just outside only the finest pino in wa is aged in these oak barrels cooking weiners a foreign concept in french cuisine here chefs say only a great red wine makes for a great sauce. and the regional wine comes from is important as well. who can email you when you're cooking a recipe from a burgundy you must use a wine from the region to give the dish that typical character there are many variations on this recipe using a variety of wides along with that of a could if you keep most of us but you can't make

a couple in you know with the wind from the lawn valley you know it would be a cook over but not one from burgundy not know it but i cook over. and it'll take minute gives us i'm not there to be for whoring the red wines over the first keep the wine to the boiling point and from day it will tip warm it burns away the acidity and the alcohol is history. legend has it that cocoa van was popularized in paris in the late sixteenth century by henry the fourth the french king is credited with giving common folk a chicken in every pot. historian loike began to see explains. levey. the essence of the story is that a good king emery because that's the image the french have a few wanted only the best for his subjects from strood was prevented that it

looted eating this fine dish with their families every sunday the ball of a cure for the good of. whether the legend is true or not many hands and roosters have wound up in french cooking pots over the centuries. and in henry's day they live. eight this friday in particular the flesh a very old breed of chicken that. raises at his organic farm when it is a new movie so come in and prove you are you have older animals that are two or maybe six years old or even more than a woman person and an easy way to tenderize the meat of such an old bird is to cook it long and slow. and why it is a perfect for that oh well. so the compound went from being a humble rustic dish to the essence of french cuisine. the

simplicity of its recipe and its name have made it world famous. very good once again the gaelic rooster has done its country proud. now we're venturing up high into the mountains to the mall blong the white mountain some call it the highest peak in europe although that's subject to some debate these are higher peaks in russia and georgia but what's certain is that it probably stands at four thousand eight hundred ten meters and the alpine region between france and italy it was first climbed in seventeen eighty six the pioneering in the region but before that your remarks reporter meghan lee traveled that to learn more about the mountains history. the highest mountain. it stood here since the beginning of time locating the charm and france it is a premier winter destination for tourists all over the world.

fantasy that sudan has lived in charmine for over thirty years as official guy she understands very well what draws tourists to this region yet. the whole valley shines with these mountains the mountains together with montblanc are amazing that's the attraction here. but once upon a time people thought the mountains were full of ghosts and dragons and so on. until everyone was afraid of what was up there. it was said sherman he was located in the bad mountains then in the middle of the eighteenth century two englishman came from geneva and heard all this talk about money and decided to see the erie valley for themselves. said this is a new high and. the first actual mountain. years were crystal hunters who extracted courts from the mountains of chamonix it was then shipped off to geneva even made its way to the halls of versailles harmony's crystal museum visitors can get an

idea of the minerals extracted from month long and its neighboring peaks. ten cities foreshadowing that imagine sherman he was a very small simple village people had a simple life and were poor house before that and then they found out without having to climb too high up the mountain that with these rockers tools they could possibly sell them in geneva and make some money and then have a better life. and peace and. that pioneering spirit has certainly paid off for many tourists now flock to the village to travel with the cable car to reach a height of thirty eight hundred meters above sea level. even with the most modern technology and safety measures in place the ride is not for the faint of heart. but once at the top of the mystique of month long becomes very clear during visitors can dangle over the mountains in a glass box and on
