Hello Alexander, je vous écris ce message car vous avez clairement marqué mon adolescence, et je vous ai retrouver par hasard J'étais élève au collège de Puiseaux il y a environ 5 ans 6 ans vous êtes le professeur qui à marqué mes années grâce a vous et vos cours je suis devenu complètement bilingue Je tenais a vous remercier pour vos cours réellement instructif que vous m'avez apporté j'étais extrêmement triste de quitté le collège juste pour ne plus pouvoir suivre vos cours d'années en années Tres heureux que vous avez déménagé et changé d'air! Courage au professeurs et enseignants 🫶🏼 Tonnellier Mathis est mon nom au cas ou vous avez ce souvenirs Thank you again Alexander 💻
Hello Mathis, of course I remember you among my many students during my six years in Puiseaux! I have many good memories from Victor Hugo Middle School. Thank you so much for your kind words, I wish you the best!

The Roman Empire never collapsed it just became *"France"* absolutely. I want to say the Imperial Capital became Aachen as part of the #tetrachy_of_rome as imagine for a moment even the Rome of today Governing all of modern day France! Of course this was ridiculous and goes to show how our understanding of the Roman Empire remains far too limited to Rome itself as to how the *"matter"* was in fact run/not run educated/not educated #roman_road_wurzberg #wurzberg 😊😊#salt_roads 😊😊
This an amazing video thank you very much!
I was born and raised in Charente, and I lived between Mansle and Saint Amant until my college years. Last summer, I returned to visit my family and brought my wife to all the places you mentioned. I worked as a tour guide in the Bordeaux region for ten years but, unfortunately, never had the chance to do so in Charente. I'm glad you made this video showcasing this lesser-known region of France, which has so much more to offer. Great job!
Thanks for your comment and encouragement. For me it has been a real treat to discover these places and share information about them in English!
