Travel: Where to visit 3 places in Europe this fall

As the calendar is guided into the fall, now is the perfect time to visit Europe.

That’s because the weather is still pleasant and the crowds are noticeably thinner.

The following three locations are not listed in order:

Rams Gate in England

Ramsgate was one of the early British tourist destinations in the 1800s, when modern holidays were in the early stages of the year.

Over the past few decades, this seaside town has lost its mass market appeal as British people seeking sun and sand are likely to choose a resort somewhere in Portugal and Spain. Their losses are the benefits of others.

The Kent surrounding counties are packed full of history, including where St. Augustine landed in 597 on his mission to bring Christianity to England, but the draw for readers of this column is a Gothic Revival Architecture is.

19th century architect Augustus Wellby Northmore Pugin includes works that include the iconic palace of Westminster, London, called Ramsgate Home. It was Poogin who created the Gothic revival. His home, Grange, is located right next to the Roman Catholic Parish Church, designed by Pugin, designated as the shrine of St. Augustine and the shrine of the National Pugin Center. The shrine church also houses a small relic of Augustine.

Stay at Grange, a luxury vacation rental that can be booked through Landmark Trust.

Reigenau, Germany

Located in the southwest Germany’s state of Baden-Württemberg, this island on Lake Constance has been a Christian presence since 724 after the Benedictine monasteries were founded by the Circuit Bishop and later St. Pyrmin.

The founding of Pilmin became the Imperial Empire Monastery of the Holy Roman Empire. Visitors to the monastery, commemorating the 1,300th anniversary of the year, will be able to see two relics. The Bone of the Holy Bone is the evangelist and the pitcher at weddings in Kana.

Also, on Reichenau Island, where some people may know about its wine-producing vineyards, is St. George’s Church. The Romanesque Church was built by the elected Archbishop of Mainz after receiving the skull of St. George from the Pope in 896. In 1000 years, eight paintings depict the biblical miracles played by Jesus.

In nearby Constance, on the German border with Switzerland, a special exhibition to celebrate its 1,300th anniversary will be held at the Archaeological Museum of Baden-Wurttemberg until October 20th. Constance also housed a Constance Minster, and the Constance Council was held. The pre-reform council held from 1414 to 1418 was the Holy Roman Emperor, and, among other things, brought the competing pope claimants, confirmed the papal hegemony, and burned the early reformer Jan Hus. It resolved the division that led to death. Betting money.

Stay at Hotel St. Elizabeth, a hotel located on the grounds of a modern monastery belonging to the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross, a Roman Catholic religious order.

Paris, France

You never need to make an excuse to visit Paris.

Skip the Louvre Museum. It’s too much to see during a short visit. Plus, crowds can be terrible – even during fall shoulder season. Instead, take a look at the City Art Museum in Petit Palais. An incredible example of the Beaux-Arts Architecture, the building was dedicated to the 1900 Paris Exposition. Admission is free.

Then there’s the Cluny Museum and City Museum of Architecture and Heritage. Cluny’s collection includes medieval religious art, but the city is notable for its authentic plaster casting of centuries-old churches and cathedral facades and other architectural details throughout France It deserves.

Be sure to visit the tomb of Marquis de Lafayette, the hero of the American Revolution. He is buried in Pippus Cemetery. Until 2025, the bicentennial, which said that Lafayette returned to America in 1824 and 1825, is celebrated in the United States.

Add to this, one of Paris’ biggest events this year is the reopening of Notre Dame in December. Medieval Gothic Landmarks have been closed for major restoration since the 2019 fire.

Stay at the Hôtelle Presbytère, an elder hotel that occupies a former elder or pastor belonging to the Parish of St. Meris.
