Brasserie Paul – Rouen, França

Between Spain & Portugal, Madrid & Lisboa…


We really enjoyed Rouen, it’s care to preserve the medieval layout of buildings, the weight of the story of Joan of Arc, the good food but the first post I write about the city I wanted to be on the Rue des Chanoines, my favorite place in Rouen. When strolling the Rue Saint-Romain we found the arch that gives access to the picturesque des Chanoines, one of the narrowest of the city.

Morada: Santa Catalina 10, Ocaña
Our small group of Castles “conquerors“ stopped on the way to Belmont in the beautiful city of Ocaña. Do not know much about its history but like many lands of Castile is also associated with the name of Isabella the Catholic. We started by its beautiful Plaza Mayor closed like the one in Madrid with small balconies and arcades where you can see shops, restaurants and also the Tourism post.












Com o Verão já no passado começa a temporada de: conquistar Castelos. Uma animada actividade que fazemos como desculpa para tirar as crianças de casa ao fim de semana e cumpre também um objectivo cultural de conhecer um pouco da história de Espanha e neste caso, um pouco da de Portugal também. Tinha dois castelos no plano decidimos ir este Sábado a um que estava mais longe de Madrid, o de Belmonte.
With summer already in the past season begins: to conquer Castles. A lively activity we do as an excuse to take the kids out of the house in the weekend and also fulfills a cultural purpose of learning about the history of Spain and in this case, a bit of Portugal also. Had two castles on the plane this Saturday we decided to go to one that was further away from Madrid, the Belmonte.

Summer is synonymous of festivities, so it is in Portugal with the ones done in the small villages, in Spain the same and where we live there is one in September, the great city of Paris has the Fête des Tuileries. We took our stroll through the garden to come by, it was early and the weather was threatening rain so it was not too crowded but it was still great to have a little bit of fun.


Our hotel was very close to the Rue des Martyrs, a street with a large concentration of award-winning “patisseries” and “cholateriers”. We had no time to tasted them all but the Maison Landemaine was one of the chosen and it is impossible to enter without wanting to eat much more than in the stomach is asking. When we entered a queue was formed, largely to buy bread and some could not resist the sweets and cakes of it’s windows.
