Notre Dame Cathedral or North Dame de Paris- one of the main symbols of Paris. This is a huge Gothic cathedral that took almost two hundred years to build - from 1163 to 1345. North Dame de Paris is a real architectural masterpiece, which 14 million tourists come to see every year. Unfortunately, in 2019 there was a terrible fire in the cathedral. The building was severely damaged: the roof burned down, valuable stained glass windows were damaged, paintings and frescoes were damaged. The fire at Notre-Dame de Paris became a global tragedy. Now they are trying to restore this world masterpiece, and craftsmen from all over the world are taking part in the restoration work.

Louvre is the most popular art museum in the world. Before becoming a museum, the Louvre was a royal palace.

Message subject: Great Britain

Important information:

The name of the country

Great Britain is a country with many names. In Russia we often call it simply England, or Britain, or Foggy Albion, or Great Britain. In fact, the full name of the country is written as: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The fact is that this country united several historically independent regions: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Country on the map

The United Kingdom is located on several islands in the Atlantic Ocean. It shares a land border with only one country - Ireland. Other neighbors from England are separated either by the English Channel or the North Sea. For example, across the English Channel from the British Isles are France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and on the other side of the North Sea are Germany, Denmark and Norway. If you sail far to the north along the Atlantic Ocean, then Iceland can also be called a neighbor of England.

From the history of the country

The history of the country is rich in a variety of events. It is believed that the first people settled on the islands 30,000 years ago. These were the tribes of Celts, Britons and Gaels. At the beginning of our era, the islands were conquered by the Roman Empire, which ruled there for 400 years.

After this, the peoples living on the islands gradually began to form their own states. Thus, in the 9th century the Kingdom of Scotland appeared, in the 10th century - the Kingdom of England, Wales and Ireland also emerged. Over the centuries, the countries of the British Isles fought numerous wars both among themselves and with their neighbors, especially France. They united in alliances and disintegrated, seized each other's territories and grew into overseas colonies.

By the end of the 16th century, the small kingdoms of England and Scotland turned into the huge British Empire, which over several centuries became the largest state in the entire history of mankind. The Empire included all of the British Isles, the colonies in Africa, all of India, most of North America, all of Australia and vast territories in Asia and Oceania. At the beginning of the 20th century, a quarter of the world's population was under the rule of the British Crown. The collapse of the British Empire lasted almost the entire last century, but it is impossible to say that this process has ended now.

Flag and coat of arms

The flag of Great Britain, like the country itself, has been modified many times. Now on its cloth there are several symbols depicted, symbolizing the main parts of the country: the cross of St. George symbolizes England, the cross of St. Andrew symbolizes Scotland and the cross of St. Patrick symbolizes Ireland. In addition, a proposal to add a red dragon, the symbol of Wales, to the flag is currently under discussion.

The coat of arms of the United Kingdom also combines the symbols of all parts of the state: a shield with the coats of arms of England, Scotland, and Ireland is held by a lionized leopard and a rising silver unicorn; above the shield is a helmet with a royal crown and a golden crowned leopard.

Nature and its protection

The British Isles have a mild temperate climate. The Gulf Stream, which carries its waters near the islands, brings a lot of humid air and protects from frost and cold. So it’s not for nothing that Great Britain is called Foggy Albion. Fog appears here regularly, it rains often, and the sky is often overcast.

The north and west of Great Britain (Scotland and Wales) are predominantly mountainous, while the south and east (England) are more common on plains and small hills. In Northern Ireland there are green valleys, gentle hills and small mountains. Also in Northern Ireland is the largest lake in the United Kingdom - Lough Neagh.

In ancient times, almost the entire territory of the British Isles was covered with forests. Then the forests began to be cut down, and on the site of the vacated land they began to create pastures and fields. Almost half of the UK's land is now devoted to pasture. There are 10 times fewer forests left than there were before human development of the islands.

That is why the country is currently paying special attention to forest restoration and nature conservation. The United Kingdom has created a whole system of National Parks designed to preserve the unique landscapes and ecosystems of England, Scotland and Wales. The largest of them are Broads, Dartmoor and Exmoor. Here you can admire beautiful natural scenery and see the habitats of UK wildlife.

Population and culture

There are now more than 63 million people living in the UK, and the country's population is constantly growing as people from many countries seek to move to England permanently. All residents of the United Kingdom are called British, and they speak English. Of these, most are English (about 80%), as well as many Welsh, Scots and Irish. Also in Great Britain live many representatives of Africa, Asia and people from its former colonies: Indians, Vietnamese and Pakistanis.

British culture is rich and varied. She had a huge influence on the development of culture and art around the world. But the special influence of British culture is noticeable in countries that were former colonies of the British Empire - there English traditions are visible in the language, in the legal system, in culture, and in art.

One of the greatest strengths of British culture is British literature. William Shakespeare, Daniel Defoe, H.G. Wells, Alan Milne, Rudyard Kipling, Agatha Christie, John Tolkien, JK Rowling - the list of famous English writers goes on and on. Many generations of people grew up on these books, not only in Great Britain, but all over the world, including here in Russia.

British musical culture is no less rich in bright names: the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John - these are just the world's most famous musical groups and performers. Paintings by English artists decorate art galleries in various countries. We watch films by English directors and with English actors with great pleasure, both in cinemas and on television. For example, who doesn't know Harry Potter or James Bond?

Economy

Great Britain has a very strong and developed economy. It is the second-largest economy in Europe, surpassed only by the German economy. London is a recognized global financial center, and the British currency, the pound sterling, is the third largest reserve currency in the world (after the dollar and the euro).

Almost all types of industry are developed in the United Kingdom: automobile manufacturing, aviation industry, textile industry, shipbuilding, pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, etc. In addition, the service sector, which is also incredibly developed in the British Isles, makes a huge contribution to the economy.

Attractions

Windsor castle- the official residence of the monarchs of Great Britain. This is one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. It was founded in 1070 by the first king of England, William I the Conqueror. By the way, the surname of the current British kings Windsor comes from the name of this castle.

Big Ben- a huge bell that is located in the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster. The weight of the bell is almost 14 tons, and it was cast in 1859. Many people call Big Ben not only the bell, but also the clock and the entire clock tower, but this is not true. Officially, the tower in which the Big Ben bell is located is called the Elizabeth Tower in honor of the current Queen of Great Britain.

Westminster Abbey- the most famous temple in England. It was built in the 13th century and since then has been the only temple in which kings of the United Kingdom are crowned.

Tower Bridge- one of the main symbols of London. It is located right in the center of the British capital and attracts considerable attention from tourists. Indeed, the bridge looks very interesting. We can say that it is two-level: on the first level there is a drawable roadway, and on the second, at an altitude of 44 meters from the first part, there is a pedestrian road that can be used even when the bridge is raised. The towers house staircases and huge elevators for pedestrians. True, after the opening of the bridge, this method of crossing to the other side of the river turned out to be too expensive and was no longer used. Now all the mechanisms are working again and tourists can use the 30-person elevator and stroll through the gallery above the Thames.

Stonehenge - an ancient temple of Celtic Druids, which is located approximately 130 kilometers southwest of London. Stonehenge was built from huge stones - menhirs, which by some miracle were built in the right circle. But according to scientists, the structure was created approximately 5,000 years ago. Nobody knows for sure why Stonehenge was built, but many agree that it was a sanctuary of the Druids - the priests of the ancient Celts.

Loch Ness- a large lake in Scotland. It was formed as a result of the melting of the glacier. The lake is very elongated, and its depth reaches 230 meters, and the waters of Loch Ness are very muddy. Perhaps such characteristics of the lake became the reason for the appearance of the legend of the Loch Ness monster? Nobody knows this. But on the shore of the lake there is a museum of the Loch Ness Monster, and travel agencies are happy to take tourists along the most picturesque routes and promise to show them the mysterious monster.

Famous people

Great Britain is the homeland of a huge number of world famous people. For example, the most famous queen in the world is the reigning Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II. Also, the whole world knows the politicians of England: Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher.

However, the most famous were and are the creative people born in the British Isles: writer William Shakespeare, scientist Isaac Newton, explorer and founder of the theory of evolution Charles Darwin, actor and director Charlie Chaplin, traveler James Cook, singer Paul McCartney, writers Charles Dickens and John Tolkien , football player David Beckham and many many others.

Unforgettable journey

(Parrot's story)

What a wonderful trip I had to France and the UK! Arriving in Paris, I immediately went on a pleasure boat along the Thames (Seine) River. How magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre are! And here is the famous Tower Bridge (Louvre). A little more, and the clock tower (Eiffel Tower) appeared - the symbol of Paris. I traveled to the UK via the Channel Tunnel on a high-speed train. Its capital is beautiful - the city of London. Here I traveled along the Seine (Thames) River. And most of all I liked the Eiffel Tower (Big Ben Tower) - the symbol of London.

FRANCE

This large country is located in the western part of Europe. We will begin our acquaintance with France from its capital - Paris. Paris stands on a river called the Seine. Tourists who come to the capital of France always try to sail along the Seine on a pleasure boat. It is very convenient to explore the city from here.

Here we are sailing past the grandiose cathedral. This is the world famous Notre Dame Cathedral. It stands on an island in the center of Paris.

But the Louvre is one of the largest museums in the world. The museum itself is located in a large old palace, and the entrance to it is decorated with a modern glass pyramid (it is not visible from our boat).

The Louvre has a huge number of paintings and sculpture tours. The most famous painting is “La Gioconda” by the great Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci

Having sailed a little more, we will see an amazingly beautiful bridge, along the edges of which there are golden winged horses on high columns. This is the Alexander III Bridge, named after the Russian Tsar.

And now the most famous building of Paris appeared ahead, the symbol of this city - the Eiffel Tower. It was built more than 100 years ago according to the design of engineer Eiffel. The openwork, seemingly very light tower consists of 15 thousand metal parts. Its height is 321 meters. You can climb the tower. For this purpose, elevators are installed in it. Many rise to the first level. Those who are braver rise to the second level - slightly below the middle of the tower. And the bravest ones rise to the third level, to the top of the tower...

Very interesting in Paris. But we have to hurry. I would like to quickly get to the wonderful fairy tale country located nearby - European Disneyland. This is a grandiose amusement park in which every child will find attractions to suit their taste.

Not far from Paris is one of the most wonderful places in France - Versailles. This was once the residence of the French king, and now it is a museum. The Royal Palace of Versailles is surrounded by a beautiful park with fountains and sculptures.

And another excursion awaits us in France. We go to the banks of the Loire River to visit a real ancient castle. There are many castles here. Some of them are impregnable fortresses, others are more likely to be called palaces

What famous French people do you know? Of course there are many of them. Let's name one that the whole world knows. This is an outstanding traveler, ocean explorer, and conservationist Jacques-Yves Cousteau (1910 - 1997).

GREAT BRITAIN

Great Britain is located northwest of France. Most of it is located on the island of Great Britain, hence the name of the country. The capital of Great Britain - London- stands on the River Thames.

In the central part of the city you can see its main attractions. First of all, this is Buckingham Palace (1). The royal family lives here. The palace is guarded by guards in red uniforms and tall black hats. Every day, tourists gather to watch the ceremonial changing of the guard.

On the Thames embankment there is a very beautiful Parliament building (2). Its tower with the main clock of the country is visible from afar. This watch has four dials, and the length of the minute hands exceeds 4 meters! In 2012, the tower became known as the “Elizabeth Tower” in honor of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.

The Tower Fortress is also located near the river (3). And nearby, Tower Bridge (4) with two large towers spans the Thames.

Great Britain is the birthplace of many famous people. Among them is the zoologist and writer Gerald Durrell (1925 - 1995), who became famous for his books about animals and did a lot to protect nature
