ah, ah, from black forest cake to fruity tours, a look at why german cakes are deliciously famous. venice as an instagram hotspot, do the pictures match the reality? and a brussels landmark. we uncover some things you may not have known about the tell me imp, all that and more coming up on your o max. oh, oh. oh the no to dom cathedral in paris made headlines in april 2019. when a fire destroyed large parts of the famous building,

it broke out under the eaves of the wooden roof, engulfing the structure and flames. reconstruction efforts are in full swing and with some help from germany, not saddam is set to reopen next year. this is a pace of one of the world's most famous cathedrals. not sure dam in paris, a stained glass window about to be restored to its former glory after the disastrous blaze of 2019 with them. not saddam is my heart. my so the best is the symbol of paris. i'm in love with harris said that he rebuilding the church after the inferno is a major challenge. we will show you how much work goes into repairing just for windows. this is not not true dime. it's cologne cathedral. many people here also see this as the heart of this city. the idea that the cathedral might been down is

unsinkable alfie. so how terrible, what else could she say ending that be very, very tragic. i think it has been as a terrible thing i can imagine. but what does cologne have to do with not true down in cologne, cathedrals class workshop, katrin bitch that and her team are restoring the 4 windows from paris. their regular job is to maintain the many windows in the clone cathedral. some of them are over 700 years old. here i like lean restore stick pieces together. we do simply everything we need to preserve the structure for the future. not to dam needs, preserving as well. so the clone cathedral workshop offered its help in the restoration work with an enormous logistical effort. the 4 windows were shipped from paris. first, the team had to clean them. the fire had coated them with toxic lead dust, the worst destruction, the flames wrought was on the lead roof and its wood beam truss. the voting was

damaged as well. so the windows had to be removed. over 830000000 euros in donations. have come in for the reconstruction. the cathedrals slated to reopen in late 2024. that deadline is looming as of softly in terms of the specific restoration process is required, the windows and all that difficult. so we're fairly relax. what's pushing us is the great time pressure imposed by paris. we gave him, but that's not usual here in the cathedral. but of course we're under that same pressure. how the team has 700000 euros and 13 months to devote to the repair work . it may sound like a lot, but it has to suffice for an impressive 100 square meters of stained glass in need of attention. the repair work is documented down to the smallest detail, the windows must be restored to their original condition as,

as that there's not as much damage as he might think after a disaster, like that. if your pains and cracks can be cemented together again, all we can repair them in some other way. and there are just a few smaller pieces will replace. so we have to find the right kind of glass painted using the historical methods and refitted into the entire section. stylistically, the 4 windows are relatively martin and abstract. they were created a 1965 by the french glass painter. jack la chevalier. some of his techniques present the team with unexpected challenges. bunch of analysis ever yet also true with his thumb and it's not easy to imitate elements. one of us will probably be immortalized with a thumbprint at of amanda game, even with him thing optimal. this isn't the 1st restoration undertaken on these windows, but some of the previous efforts don't seem to have been quite as conscientious under the sabbath. this isn't even glance out. it's plastic plexiglas. we've never

actually had that before. as i'm a type of, he thought when you go restorer, read cache nipper replaces the fake glass with real glass in the appropriate colors . and the many pieces of lead that hold the glass together have to be repaired or replaced. glass into a low de schneider is here from france. she takes care of those with her song. i think it's incredible and very inspiring to be working on the restoration of not her dom here in cologne cathedral. and i guess it's something extraordinary and unusual that only comes along once in a lifetime. the windows aren't you to head back to paris. the installation brings the reopening of the restored not to damn one step closer. black forest cake is perhaps germany's most well known sweet treat. but anyone who has been to a german bakery knows there's a lot more on offer coffee and cake in the afternoon is

a german institution. and we take a look at just how important it is. did you know that germany's afternoon coffee and kate tradition actually precedes the british afternoon tea boss? japanese may be more known for it, beer or bread cake is actually pretty big deal here. so what else do you need to know about cake here? grab a fork. let's david cake in germany comes with his own rituals. namely, kathy includes wooden coffee and cake, usually enjoyed in the afternoon around $330.00, especially with friends and family on sundays. a trip to my german grandparents isn't communities without this ritual. now is a good time to examine the german classics at the end of our forks. this one is world famous, black forest gases are spots their deck. yes, water, quite a my film, literally. it's famous or it could be as layers of green chocolate on. of course,

jerry, it's not clear exactly where this cake originates from, which i said i would suggest germany's black forest. but there are lots of myths and legends of the writing is origin. other cakes are also named dr. german times in regions. besides the black forest ghetto, there's the loop back as pancake, and the frankfurt prime cake. ah, my pancake is a lube back speciality, while the appointments frankfurt crime cake is one of the german financial capitals . tastiest treats other german classic cakes are the beast and cake, laird, fries, and cake. with short crust crumbled cake, probably feed cake, and this beamed applicators has a few cakes are popular well beyond the borders germany and some of their back stories have roots and water, ny neighboring countries. ah, regardless of where in germany it's from though you can get your case from almost any bakery or from specialized shops like but history for

a confectionary specialize in cakes, a time. never as good as almost secret recipe though. my almost pancake. it's unbeatable. of course, you can rely on the germans for some specific cake related vocab. the most important one is the difference between cool and taught it's confusing, but can actually mean cake in german, tata or tart is a cake made with cream like this one. where couldn't cake because usually more related to dryer do is sometimes with fruit. then the coffee clutch. i love this literally means exchanging gothic over coffee and cake. and finally callo v and bama quite literally calorie. self explanatory. basically, cake made with cream and sugar. the classic german cakes are traditionally made with lots of sugar butter and cream, paste. amazing, but not exactly super paid. that's why there are more and more meagan and healthy

cafe. it's like this one offers exclusively v g and k. demand for v g and product has been rising noticeably for years. in germany. pastry chef steady. it's herself beacon and her fet, about reinventing in classics for her cafe, dispensing entirely with animal products sap on my swan. sometimes i get patrons who said butter has to be in a sandwich or korean that i in the latin is none of this is genuine. but right from the stars, it's been important to me to make it vague and be awkward for me, illegal and organic growth. together, sustainability is available, i don't work with any adults is either, i don't use anything like that because i respond. abernathy, i'm the best answer. it is the smiles on people's faces when they find they can use everything here. many are allergic to eggs. overjoyed when they stand in front of the display case and see so many options, i get many people who say the crumble, kate taste just like grandmas. that's the best one the i guess as best the

compliment blue jam. and kate has always had a special place in my heart because of my german grandmother. and now i understand why her case are still good. it's part of jamming college air. i personal favorite, well, always be funky. any one who has seen pictures of venice, italy will easily recognize the iconic st. mark's square for the famous re alto bridge, usually without a person in sight. but is that the case in real life? we went to venice for a reality check. some mog square re alto bridge. welcome to venice, colorful architecture and oni, a few people around the italian lagoon city looks fantastic on instagram. but how is it in reality time to find out a heads up and then is,

is always full of visitors. it's unlikely you'll ever have anything in tiny to yourself, even so venice offers lots of pomp and splendor. venice was once a great maritime power and it shows saint mark square is one of the most famous squares in the world, and a popular photo motif. but you'll be sharing it with many others busily snapping pictures. not even this construction site can tarnish the squares. great beauty, but you'll need to be patient if you want to visit any of the buildings. long lines in front of the dose is palace and st. mark's basilica on common. how about another must see sight on some mark square light. cafe florian, for example. it's over 300 years old. oh, never to expect lots of visitors here too. though with

a little lock you might find a seat. ha verdict. cafe florian is worth a visit, although it's not cheap. a cappuccino costs $15.00 euros, but it's right on to mark square which you shouldn't miss during a visit to venice. just expect a crowns. let's visit the 2nd venice hotspot the equally famous and much photographed re alto bridge. from afar. the bridge looked large and it doesn't seem crowded, but when you're on the bridge it gets very busy. why do people put themselves through this? we actually got here by accident. so it's my fault. i'm kidding, i'm get a. you have to see it. it's like an iconic iconic place to be. oh wow, it's stallion. gorgeous. for me. wow. it's

a beautiful did receive it. feel the kid knows in the sun, say it's and raise the beautiful place. we can company anything about this thing to be. so we legally allowed to stay here for a while and under the sunset, our verdict, though the bridge is crowded, the view of the grand canal is worth it, especially when the sun sets in the west. ah anne, speaking of water, our last hot spot is bertino island, reachable by water bass across the lagoon. it takes 40 minutes to reach the small island. morano became famous on instagram, mainly because of its colorful fishermen's cottages. our 1st impression is that yes, each of the small fishermen's houses has really been painted in a different color. but around lunchtime it

gets really crowded. the elevated narrow bridge is articulately suitable for getting a good view of the cottages. here too, it's worth taking a look behind the scenes because many fishermen still live in, but on to this day we've still got to find out just why all these houses are so colorful. i feel of the go to show do any, but i'll tell you. there are 2 explanations that he say, why don't forget the houses are so colorful because it's often foggy here with god . it's only 40 do it. so the fisherman, but who used to travel for 3 or 4 days on end that painted their houses to tell them apart. i will give me the like out of equal or not that don't other than the but there's also another hypothesis that my grandfather believed up on a good he. he thought the fisherman painted their houses because they weren't drunk, go to dubious, keep with gather,

even if the fish harley had hardly anything to eat on the bow gentlemen, they always had wine with them, with a green grease elastic. i don't know which explanation is riley c will had since i was a candy. i've been told it was either the fog i was or the wine would be or that may be up or would be and all that we have it. whichever explanation is true, the colorful cottages of bravo. i'll definitely eye catching. i'll verdict. baronet is great. the re alto bridge and some mark square are usually very full, but you'll want to visit them anyway. for me, the people making your reads heartbeat can't follow up on in graham experience, lifestyle tradition dining and the art along with the local people for you will get up close and personal

but because it was really something special and it was so successful during the welfare that up and also water came off. he was lobbying and asked if he could not say maybe 6 months later. and then they agreed and i did more 6 months. and finally, it said, it's no wonder they didn't have the heart to tear down the home. you also look spectacular from the inside. it continued to break records even after it was built back then this 35 meter escalator was one of the fastest in europe today. you can take an extra ordinary ride on it from sphere to sphere. ah. ah. okay, that is nice and live here can rest. yeah, you can just take a little bit meditation share. my break me

a menu to intox or stainless steel. so there are many place where 2 centimeters, a thick, but this aluminum didn't waste anything. so they had to keep it, the stainless steel as soon as possible. so they now, or only $1.00 millimeters with even then there's only $2200.00 don't more weight. can you imagine? so you're basically telling me that they're telling me, i'm just got fat out whether yes correct. you can't enter every sphere, but you can still see a lot from exhibitions to a light show and even a restaurant. but the best, of course, are the incredible views. oh, and finally, we are off to the french town of leon, which was considered the center of silk production in europe until the 19th century . nowadays, there are only

a few silk weaving mills left in the city. we visited one of the remaining manufacturers. not long now, and these silk moth, caterpillars will go into production because their cocoons are the faces for the queen of fabrics, silk, seniority, normally or not, or runs a small mulberry caterpillar farm and his be cheek and leo and southeast and france gold, gluco coin, trend bowbin to feel in order to wind the cocoon on to a real. you 1st have to put it in hot water or lou feel a lot of and then you get a silk thorough matt duffy or more. yeah, and uh, this is on average one kilometer long, the shill miss in full, however, it takes 5 to 7000 cocoons to make one kilogram of silk and kill to leonardo, his family has specialized in the sale of silk products,

since 1819 skolnik pena, a steel. jo, this is a typical pattern and leon style glue color donald and one we produce a patio de nadisa. it is based on an old design of a lot bama. the words are made of velvet, his and silk. yet basil duleigh offer. this is only possible in the all i, because here we have the machinery school, the design and skilled workers. most of all it is so and was of only so pre, oh, between the 16th and 19th century, leo was known worldwide as a silk metropolis. more than 30000 silk leaders or canoe worked in the city. traces of this period can still be seen today in the club house district because of miserable working conditions. there were major uprisings in 183118. 34. naval to nick, a new ha,

the silk weaver protests began because society was divided into 2 social classes back to list the factory owners who gave the orders co mulder and the silk weaver also who made the cloth. however, the factory owners never remunerated the real value of my word develop due to the silk weavers, could no longer support themselves from their work. we bus and when you are hungry, now you protest. if you also have, at the end of the 19th century, leon lost its place in the world of silk manufacturing. to day, there are only 2 silk leaving those here. they mainly produce fabrics for aught could to her or reproduce from old patterns. sebastian wash works with a player company which was founded back in 1752. he is proud of the traditional craft, even though today the fabric is largely was and mechanically, leaseholder latisha contributed people want their fabrics to be finished much faster and they'll go over some, it's expensive. and so now we just do high end product luxury goods to reduce and
