France: Meaux at the river Marne

Meaux is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region in the metropolitan area of Paris.
The town of Meaux is situated in a basin, dug into the plateau of Brie in the river Marne. The river that runs through the town forms a short loop, partly non-navigable for barges to the true center of Meaux. But the locks allow the passage of barges, daily up to the garden Ceccaldi, surrounding the market area.
In Meaux there is a Gothic cathedral, whose construction began in 1170 and that was completed 370 years later.

Wow! What a beautiful video about the city where I live! What a pity that you don't show the "Parc Naturel du Pâtis", it's the most important natural parc of the parisian area! Meaux has a famous cheese called "Brie de Meaux". the kings of France liked this cheese. Meaux is on the "RN3", a national road called also road of the kings, because kings go in this road to go on east and to Germany. Congratulation for this video!

PS:Excuse for my bad english

Kind regards from Stenay in France, where I am on holiday at this moment, Maria:-)
