mainly here's a look at what else we have in store for you today. a look at how this musician has defied all the odds in his profession. and join us as we let the locals guide us through the beauty of luxembourg. to imagine what life was like among the upper classes in the 17th century, you usually have to look at paintings from that time period to see how people dressed and what they ate. but once a year in france, a chateau just south of paris reenact scenes from broke life with a special picnic on castle grounds. and those who take part can dress up like dukes and duchesses for the day. here in france, time has stood still for one day, at least, miriam airman and her friends are dressed up for the annual zorn, a goal set or grand century celebration. it's

a time marking the reign of french king louis the 14th. oh, jesse, on a parisian, and i've been passionate about history for yag, is because i knew i especially love the 17th to 18th century, who so it's a real pleasure to come to la to day to watch how the lights have carried themselves and behaved all. so called boastful noxious. she's really cool enough of it. i wanted to find out how they lived at that time. go to my dressing the way they did her. so i put on the special hands with high heeled shoes. this was 3 months i don't, and i'm wearing makeup, and we're, we're not used to doing these sorts of things in our time. but you do it all the time for today's event is taking place at the chateau de volvo. v called an hour south of the french capital parents. it was home to nicholas from cape, the former finance minister of louis the 14th. every year there was a grand picnic on the grounds. participants can dress up in old fashioned costumes

and take part in a contest for the best setting. on any other day, miriam might be working at her job in elevator sales and david as a graphic artist. but to day they're preparing foods that could have been served to nobleman back in the day. you use santa cruz as much as like back then and jelly eating fruit kinds easy. we also have regular through say to place setting that was made especially for to day alpha. so they put should be new. these are the little cheese pastries i had at home, according to a recipe that i discovered in a book about the cuisine of louis the 14th or week. i thought they're very salty for because that's how they conserved who'd back that of it is anymore. ah, a round 20 picnics have been set up on the grounds. the 3 judges make their rounds to decide who has the most authentic setting. and they're looking for certain criteria. we're thinking more like what we're looking at is the choice

of the dishes that the linen, the elegant mozilla, the flowers, the candlesticks, it's important to create an atmosphere and tell his story. and we should feel drawn to sit down with a staple and spend an evening at that table oh, till bit of tablet. while the judges make their decisions, miriam and her friends take a tour of the castle. it was built in the mid 17th century by nicola faruqi, and it served as inspiration for the royal palace of versailles. ah, when i'm dressed like this, i really feel like i'm back in the 17th or 18th century. it's as if he could laugh okay, is going to walk in to say hello england and he had said and i can greet him back in the gardens. the participants are enjoying the atmosphere. most of them have made their own costumes for the occasion. this man is dressed as a spy,

who also lived as a woman. who should i? am the knight of a all name shadae all and is your leave do bowman to characters in one? so i make all of the questions for ourselves. it's one for jeff fisher, the sunshine and picnic can be with like minded people. if i could, you pull that level, want to create law said i shall see who that is really stood out from. the others fulfilled its filth. we're quite pleased with the results of your work, and he should be happy because his group's picnic won the contest. but for miriam, david and their friends, the day wasn't lost even if they didn't. when we're happy with our table and the way everything looks when we're spending time with friends and look the way we wanted to. we feel as if we've one to again it all in all. it was a great day for everyone, celebrating the grand century of louis the 14th. and if you also feel drawn

to the outdoors, then let us know what is your favorite thing to do on a sunny day. join the conversation online and check out our website for details on how to receive this picnic blanket. an cooler for a picnic of your own. and maybe if you're lucky, you can even invoke the spirit of louis the 14th. now if you've ever tried learning to play an instrument, then you know it takes a lot of practice and discipline, and that is exactly what felix clever has proven. he has his not only become a world class musician on the french horn. he's done it under extraordinary circumstances. oh, in his early thirties, she'll exclusive is one of the world's top classical musicians. he plays the french horn with his feet, all in a day's work. he says, oh,

a musician is not only characterized by the sounds he creates, but by his whole life the way he can. thanks and what makes him tick kicked oh, finish, musicians aren't jesse could. builder can reproduce. sounds like a computer god, we have personalities. everything that makes us who we are shapes that oh, for felix gleeson, spends a lot of time on the road. he travels around the world for rehearsals, recordings and concerts. he took his 1st torn lessons at the age of 5, but he doesn't really know what made him choose. this particular instrument being drawn without arms, neither holds him back, nor has it hindered his stella career. the only thing standing in his way have been the doubts voice trial. this is fine. he who does it wasn't that i didn't play well

enough to be able to do certain things for sure, but that others would tell me it's simply was out possible. man, no matter how well it was played issue or how well it sounded, the thing they said it simply wouldn't work of a get talk to mission, but fail exclusive prove them wrong with the instrument on the stand. he operates the valves with his toes, fingers don't matter, the art of playing the hold this loosely down to the lips. that's with man on his mammals as a horn player who's you happy 1st year, literacy and blow air out like this summer. and i look at, when am i change the attention of your let enough different tones come clinicals or she'll exclusive plays or double trend shown with 2 basic tunes. the airflow and pitch are varied with a number of valves. oh, do you like to have the most trouble building up stamina that really has nothing to

do with the balance at all? it's not even in the slightest puts, i never had any issues with the movements you need hands for out of that was the one thing i never had to practice. it just worked altogether. which doesn't mean that the path to becoming a professional musician was easy for him. he had to invest a lot of effort and discipline. you can go, even as a teenager, felix pleases studied the horn in hon. ofa. he played in germany's most important youth orchestra and won his 1st music competitions for a day doesn't go by without him rehearsing norful. it was for severely being fascinated by something doesn't get joanne lack of amongst. you have to be willing to invest yourselves when was to you? that's very important to me. funds on misty. oh, she has since one university century several albums for his 6th. he recorded

music by mozart and titan with a chick, tim and ski quartet. ah, he plays concerts all over the world in large and small in samples like here in the southern german town of feeling and training in his trio includes croatian pianist, martina fil jack, and ukrainian violinist andre below. yet despite all his success, it's ultimately always about the music to felix, lisa thinkin has so do you think his board on the audience loaded when i give a concert? even i want the people in the audience to be happy to look into it. people are enjoying that, everything's great, go to town. if people are sad, but then it's not great that that's why oh my concerts are enjoyable for the audience than i'm happy as well. we ought to feel as a touring musician. however, he doesn't have much time for other things. most of the time, felix, please,

or he's on the road, but he said price, he's willing to pay for his dream. that the shore months, sometimes it's exhausting like that. on the other hand, going on stage, making music that makes people happy to mark being able to earn a living with music. it's a huge, prevalent johnson school and i try to always bear that in mind of was mom into with this awareness, it is certainly easier to practice every day year round. ah simply, unbelievable. sch. okay. we are headed now to one of europe's smallest countries, luxembourg. it's a melting pot of cultures with no less than 3 languages spoken there. and those who visit the capital also called luxembourg, can do so without a car. that's because all of the main sites can be reached on foot. so we put on

our walking shoes and asked the locals about their favorite places. luxembourg, the capital of the grand duchy of the same name, was built as a fortified city on 2 levels. here, history meets the present and the city of some 130000 people has a lot to offer its visitors. we're leaving it up to chance by simply asking some random locals about their favorite places. the bigger than the other is 3rd lived in a unique thing about the cathedral is at the sides. the huge window is that there are 2 organs, alma that can be played from the same spotwood months. and i know that it doesn't matter which you're sitting out. you can play either already with the not your dom cathedral is a landmark in a city center. you enter through a magnificent main portal. the light gothic building was constructed in the early

17th century. it has 2 organs, but figuring out exactly where they can be paid from is a bit tricky at the moment because one is being renovated. but what would be another must see in the vicinity of the cathedral. and we would recommend that you talk to the house of lucas in dunwoody because they have delicious sweets. don't you agree? just opposite the grand ducal palace. we find the chocolate house. it's known beyond luxembourg borders. fritz. sweet creations in french and belgian chocolate and its tasty cakes for ona natalie bon opening. the store in 2008 was a sweet dream come true. chalabi finished to marie chocolate. his joy. she had joy combined with endorphins. nixa more. yeah, we have a selection of 60 different kinds of hot chocolate ice cream shop. were loudon,

and summons dickson schwabl adipose via than me find in sitting together tasting. and cheryl shocked with friends at the shop. it was all about to luck. natalie bon has even baked, her grand duke. only just a modest little cake for his 60th birthday. a small neighborly gesture, so to speak. and while enjoying a cup of hot chocolate patrons can watch the changing of the guard in front of the palace across the street, a little bit of luck, they might even catch a glimpse of the grand duke himself. so where to next money, let's get back to see an accountant. i think the skate park is a great place for everyone to visit but you can see people doing all kinds of cool tricks. on b, m x bikes, scooters and skateboards game. everyone should stop by there on,

i guess. the modern skate park lies right in the middle of the cities, pathos valley. it's especially busy during the day and a great spot for a family outing. and possibly you'll be watching some of tomorrow's prose, trying to land a cake flip. our next tip pulls us right back into the old town with luxembourg. what's really present is that if you have many killed sher inside and the, i think luther mr. good expression of the melting of the culture nixon. you because you have so many exposition coming form. so the foreign countries how you can go over and see the architecture of the building is fantastic. and the exposition, of course, it's changing day by day. madame a short handful music dom or down. it's only a 10 minute ride from the city center on the tram. and in luxembourg, public transport is free for everyone. the museum stands on the cash bed plateau in

the northeast of town and was opened in 2006. it was designed by architect. i am pe and house is the largest collection of contemporary art in luxembourg. in addition, there are always temporary exhibitions, by international artists, with everything from installations to painting. it's time brown, last stop is good because it is it. but heading from the semi shell church along the elevated cornish path to the 9 months to abbey. as a beautiful walk afoot, but soon from up there you have a nice view of luxembourg. what he told me, the shamore de la cornish has in called the most beautiful balcony in europe. it runs right along the edge of the 17th century ramparts. from here we get a sensational view of luxembourg on the coned quarter with all its historical houses.

and for anyone who likes exploring a city from a different perspective, this part of town is definitely not to be missed. food lovers know that if you want to had some flare to your fish, a pastor or chicken, then all you have to do is put in a few capers. but have you ever wondered what capers actually are? well technically they are neither fruit nor vegetable, but flower buds. and it said that the best ones grow in italy. now we went there to have a look around and find out for ourselves what goes in to harvesting this tank. little treat the cape of shrub. it's birds and fruits are quintessential and the cuisine of southern europe. ready the italian mediterranean island of pantone thia south of sicily, is considered the island of capers. harvesting begins before sunrise during the

season from may to august. this is because the buds open in the light. only when closed can they be processed into capers. gabriella lasagna plans thrive well in the acidic soil of the volcanic island. he makes sure to also pick all the flowers that have opened. it's an important step in the process. i do not want to technically recoil aquanda super. it's a good way to get the plan to develop new bud steve oil same to check the flowers. you make no contribution to the harvest yield because it up yon thought it was. the reason is simple that a full to put for the plants objective. it is not to produce capers for us, vanilla shamal fuel to fly, to bear fruit and will reproduce, renew my think with a piano. awful thought if we want to stimulate them to produce more capers, the nuclear maturity, if we have to remove the powers. quinton modified of capital one picker can harvest around one and a half kilograms of capers brower. within 8 days,

the plants develop new buds and can be harvested again. the been normal in g o production not only processes its own harvest, but also those of caper farms near by. the capers are pickled in salt, full preservation. this draws the moisture out of the buds and creates o'brien. 6 the capillary, mildly, capers, remain in the salt for about 20 to 25 days on your door during the process. we have to monitor them and add salt when needed a month for free, gentle after this, the case was al salty, a rotating drum with holes of different sizes. direct the capers into contains one salted. they are further processed into various delicatessen products, lustoria nearby copper, the capers, and i know it's a love story and carlow committee,

and then they got up with the casa acosta. then that was to follow the island and our farm land dog b. r. a wonderful source of products i said, but you, she drank, and in your be colo, i see it as my duty a call to continue developing what the island gives of is the market. but if you do another one of gabriella saudis passions is creating new, catering spied culinary tweets. it's not just the butts that are edible, but the least to, to day he's trying out pico young shoots in his test kitchen momma. it's nice and crunchy. a thing on the one, it has a good consistency, a duty. it tastes a bit like asparagus, a very nice product to them. i mean, i like it a lot. read roman. i could imagine this on a pizza. 43. i live at the fine dining restaurant is

a bead chest. salvatore potato likes to experiment with new cape products and sean capers are a very traditional ingredient and southern italian cuisine. subunit, russia, they are often combined with grilled vegetables or with fish. shall we shoot a buddhist of the flavor actually goes well with a variety of dishes. on the menu to day group a fillet with cape of powder, the fish is sealed and then flew cooked, the cape, her granules add a crunch to the dish, and a drizzle of olive oil rounds it out with capers. a treat for your taste buds from panty lydia. oh. in the countryside of sweden,

dairy cows live an idyllic life. many of them can roam freely, far and wide. now to get the herd to come home, some farmers use a traditional vocal technique called cooling. it sounds like a mix of yodeling, singing, and chanting and over time cooling has also developed into an art form it not exceptions of cooling urine. when i mean, do i use my voice when i'm working with animals at the summer? fine. so it will go ahead and call them, keep them together, mom, or urge them on when they don't want to return home. mm hm. here at the end, my name is yennie dominion for them massey, i'm an avenue musicologist. i'm doing my ph. d up. i'm a sing i ok, so it's like
