Botanical Garden, Padua by Hubert

Botanical Garden, Padua (Inscribed)

Botanical Garden, Padua

Certainly, the Orto Botanico is not a highlight among the World Heritage sites in Italy and even in Padua, the site is by far less popular with visitors than the …

Antequera Dolmens Site by Hubert

Antequera Dolmens Site (Inscribed)

Antequera Dolmens Site

My interest for megalithic sites was aroused during a visit to Carnac in 2015, so the inscription of the Antequera Dolmens in 2016 was perfect timing to include the site …

Gorham's Cave Complex by Hubert

Gorham's Cave Complex (Inscribed)

Gorham's Cave Complex

When we planned our trip to Andalusia, the question was whether it would be worthwhile to include Gorham’s Cave in our itinerary. The caves are not accessible for individual visitors …

Paris, Banks of the Seine by Hubert

Paris, Banks of the Seine (Inscribed)

Paris, Banks of the Seine

Paris, the No. 1 on the list of most visited WHS on this website and truly a wonderful city. And it is one of those WHS that I have visited …

Ancienne chocolaterie Menier à Noisiel by Hubert

Ancienne chocolaterie Menier … (On tentative list)

Ancienne chocolaterie Menier à Noisiel

When we planned our trip to northern France, I was surprised that this T-list site is so close to Paris, and a second surprise was that they offered guided tours …

The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier by Hubert

The Architectural Work of Le … (Inscribed)

The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier

The nomination in 2016 will be the third attempt to get an inscription for the work of one of the most influential architects in the 20th century. However, the nomination …

Amiens Cathedral by Hubert

Amiens Cathedral (Inscribed)

Amiens Cathedral

Amiens was one of five Gothic cathedrals on the WH list, which we visited on our trip through northern France in summer 2015, so it can be said that I …

Funerary and memory sites of the First World War by Hubert

Funerary and memory sites of … (Inscribed)

Funerary and memory sites of the First World War

The cemeteries and memorials of World War I are on the list of missing sites on this website (no. 50), and I also voted for them. Back then my vote …

Reims by Hubert

Reims (Inscribed)

Reims

Reims is one of the major Gothic cathedrals and a memorial site of French history, for centuries the French kings were crowned in Reims. The most striking feature of the …

Champagne by Hubert

Champagne (Inscribed)

Champagne

The Champagne WHS consists of three elements: the vineyards around Hautvillers and Ay, the architecture of the Champagne houses in Epernay and on the Saint-Nicaise Hill in Reims, and the …

Fontainebleau by Hubert

Fontainebleau (Inscribed)

Fontainebleau

The Fontainebleau Castle is somewhat in the shadow of the more popular Palace of Versailles, but wrongly in my opinion. We visited Fontainebleau in September 2015 and it was far …

Provins by Hubert

Provins (Inscribed)

Provins

Provins can easily be visited in two or three hours, that is enough time for all the main sights and a leisurely stroll through the medieval streets. In fact, there …

Versailles by Hubert

Versailles (Inscribed)

Versailles

Versailles, the symbol of absolutism and decadence, a highlight of Baroque architecture, and a must-see, even if you are (like me) not very enthusiastic about visiting palaces. Once it was …

Hangar Y by Hubert

Hangar Y (On tentative list)

Hangar Y

There is little information available about the Hangar Y, not even on the website of the city of Meudon, no news about a potential nomination or the state of conservation …

Saint-Savin sur Gartempe by Hubert

Saint-Savin sur Gartempe (Inscribed)

Saint-Savin sur Gartempe

The Abbey of Saint-Savin is one of those sites that I have only visited because it is a WHS. Saint-Savin is off the beaten track and although our visit was …

Chartres Cathedral by Hubert

Chartres Cathedral (Inscribed)

Chartres Cathedral

Chartres is often regarded as the prototype of a Gothic cathedral and exemplary for subsequent buildings. Perhaps also because the cathedral was never destroyed and rebuilt, the architecture and decoration …

Bourges Cathedral by Hubert

Bourges Cathedral (Inscribed)

Bourges Cathedral

Bourges was the first of five Gothic cathedrals on the WH list, that we visited on our trip to Northern France in August/September 2015. The others were Chartres, Reims, Amiens, …

Loire Valley by Hubert

Loire Valley (Inscribed)

Loire Valley

Although the Loire Valley is most famous for its castles, nature and the beauty of the landscape make up a large part of the outstanding value of this WHS. The …

Carnac by Hubert

Carnac (Nominated)

Carnac

The first time that I saw pictures of the Carnac stones was in a textbook at school and I was instantly fascinated by these enigmatic alignments. Many years later, when …

Fortifications of Vauban by Hubert

Fortifications of Vauban (Inscribed)

Fortifications of Vauban

Vauban was a famous general during the reign of Louis XIV, but today he is better known for his achievements as a military engineer. He built and modernized countless fortifications …
