village of Provenchère
France
Overlooking the Barbeche Valley, the village is located on the western slope of Mount Fonteny. It is grouped around the church dating from 1690; the first, erected in 1134, has housed rare gothic remains including a lancet window. The sacristy, vaulted on a cross of ogives, seems the arm of a Latin cross. The bell tower, built in the early eighteenth, is based on four massive cut stone. These would come from the old feudal castle of Provenchère, destroyed by the Swiss or by Louis XI, of which we can see only a few remains. Towards Peseux stands the chapel of Notre-Dame de la Roche, built in 1670 by a young person preserved from a band of soldiers (photo stained glass representing this scene). The former county manufacturing facility is converted into a small rural cheese museum with a shop: "With local products from Comté", a cavern with thousand and one regional products!

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
