Lionel visits a winery in the Lorraine region, which was full of vineyards in Roman times. Only a fraction of those vineyards remain today. This particular winery produces a wine called "Gris de Toul" (Toul Gray) due to the grayish color of the grapes during the fermentation process.

In this episode you will learn how Paris officially became the capital in the sixth century under the reign of Clovis. Paris was not built in a day, and in many respects, Paris is still being built today as many significant events, past and present, are still defining the history of the city.

In the last part of his tour of L'Isle-Adam, Daniel takes us to the town's glassblower, who offers introductory courses in his beautiful artform. He also shows us the L'Isle-Adam ponds (which act as a sanctuary for over 150 bird species) and the mysterious Chinese pavilion, the architect and construction date of which remain unknown.

Daniel shows us some more of the town of L'Isle-Adam, from a river pool inaugurated by Johnny Weissmuller (best known for playing Tarzan) to a mermaid statue that recalls the famous "Little Mermaid" of Copenhagen. Stay tuned for the next and final segment to discover even more hidden gems of L'Isle-Adam.

Daniel continues his tour of the town of L'Isle-Adam, making stops at the city hall, the beautiful Église Saint-Martin, and the Maison des Joséphites, which was built for a community of priests in 1661. Despite its age, the Maison des Joséphites keeps up with current technology—by swiping your smartphone in front of the QR code at its front entrance, you can read about the building's history on your phone.

Astrid gives us a detailed description of the Toul Cathedral, its history, and its special features. Though its gargoyles may look scary, they serve a special purpose: draining rainwater off the roof. A light and sound show takes place every year, highlighting the gargoyles and the cathedral's amazing architecture.

Still in Toul, Lionel takes a closer look at the Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Toul. Its construction started in the thirteen hundreds and was completed around 1495.

During the summer, a portion of Paris reinvents itself as "Paris-Plage" [Paris Beach]. The capital turns into a vacation spot by providing water access and outdoor activities near the Seine and other waterways like the Canal de l'Ourcq.

Every year, a portion of Paris turns into a miniature beach where people of all ages can play games and bask in the sun.

Daniel concludes his tour of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine by taking us along the quays to see some of the barges that are docked there. Among them, you will find a houseboat that doubles as a chapel and the last tug boat ever built in France!

Lionel shows us some ephemeral art in Paris, including an anamorphic installation on the Louvre Pyramid and a large steel sculpture with a cardboard "cave" inside. Check them out before they're gone!

Daniel shows us around the old quarter of the village of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a charming area that dates from the Middle Ages and contains some beautiful gardens and courtyards. Some of the streets and alleyways have even retained their medieval names, such as the "Rue de la Savaterie" (Cobbler Street).

Mathilde takes us to Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, where some very famous people are buried. You'll find the graves of Jim Morrison, Guillaume Apollinaire, Honoré de Balzac, Beaumarchais, and Frédéric Chopin, to name a few. The cemetery attracts many visitors from around the world.
