Bois de Boulogne
Situated to the west of Paris, almost opposite the other park of Vincennes, the Bois de Boulogne, with its lawns, lakes, waterfalls and gardens, covers an area of more than 2200 acres.

DIE AKROPOLIS
Alles und jeder in Athen scheint unwiderstehlich von die Akropolis angezogen zu werden, dem 156 Meter hohen Kalksteinfelsen, welcher die Stadt kroent. Klar und deutlich sichtbar von allen Teilen Athen, stehen die gleichfoermigen und blendend weissen Saeulen des Parthenons gegen den blauen Hintergrund des Himmels, ein unsterbliches Symbol von Geist und Genialitaet der Menschheit. Archeologische Ausgrabungen ausgefuehrt an den Haengen und flachen Erhebungen die Akropolis haben erschlossen, dass dieser grosse Heilige Felsen erstmals waehrend dem Neolithischen Alter, vor einigen 6.000 Jahren, bewohnt war. Erst kamen die Pelasgianer, und dann die lonier, um sich hier niederzulassen, hauptsaechlich in den Hoehlen entlang der noerdlichen Seite. In Zeiten der Gefahrt suchten sie Zuflucht…
