FRANCE
This large country is located in the western part of Europe. We will start our acquaintance with France from its capital - Paris. Paris stands on a river called the Seine. Tourists who come to the capital of France try to sail along the Seine on a pleasure boat. It is very convenient to explore the city from it.
Here we are sailing past the grandiose cathedral. This is the world famous Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris. 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 (you cannot see it from our boat).
The Louvre has a huge number of paintings and a sculpture tour. The most famous picture- "La Gioconda" by the great Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci
After sailing 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 over 100 years ago by the 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, elevators are arranged in it. Many rise to the first level. Those who are bolder climb to the second level - a little below the middle of the tower. And the most daring ascend to the third level, to the top of the tower ...
Very interesting in Paris. But we have to hurry. I would like to get to the nearby wonderful fairy-tale country - European Disneyland as soon as possible. This grand park entertainment, in which every child will find attractions to their liking.
Not far from Paris is one of the most remarkable places in France - Versailles. Once upon a time it was the residence of the French king, and now it is a museum. Royal Palace in Versailles it is surrounded by a beautiful park with fountains and sculptures.
And one more excursion awaits us in France. We go to the banks of the Loire River to visit a real old 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, 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 it is Buckingham Palace(one). The royal family lives here. The palace is guarded by guards in red uniforms and high black caps. Every day, tourists gather to see how the solemn changing of the guard takes place.
On the embankment of the Thames is very beautiful building Parliament (2). Its tower with the main clock of the country is visible from afar. This watch has four dials and the minute hands are over 4 meters long! In 2012, the tower was renamed "Elizabeth Tower" in honor of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
The Tower fortress is also located near the river (3). And next to it, the Tower Bridge (4) with two large towers is thrown across 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 on animals and did a lot to protect nature.

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 spelled like this: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The fact is that this country has united several historically developed 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 has a land border with only one state - Ireland. Other neighbors from England are separated by either 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 swim along Atlantic Ocean far to the north, then Iceland can 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 as early as 30,000 years ago. These were the tribes of the 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 that, the peoples living on the islands began to gradually form their own states. So, in the 9th century the Kingdom of Scotland appeared, in the 10th century - the Kingdom of England, Wales and Ireland also stood out. Over the centuries, the countries of the British Isles have 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 overseas colonies.
By the end of the 16th century, the small kingdoms of England and Scotland had turned into a huge British Empire, which in several centuries became the largest state in the entire history of mankind. The empire included all the British Isles, colonies in Africa, all of India, most 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 for almost the entire last century, but it is impossible to say that this process is over even now.
Flag and coat of arms
The flag of Great Britain, as well as the country itself, has been modified many times. Now, on his banner, several symbols are 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 is currently underway to add a red dragon, the symbol of Wales, to the flag.
The coat of arms of the United Kingdom also unites the symbols of all parts of the state: a shield with the coats of arms of England, Scotland, Ireland is held by a lion leopard and a rebellious silver unicorn, a helmet with a royal crown and a golden crowned leopard is depicted above the shield.
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 is not for nothing that Great Britain is called Foggy Albion. Fog appears here on a regular basis, it rains often, and the sky is often overcast.
The north and west of Great Britain (Scotland and Wales) is dominated by mountainous terrain, while the south and east (in England) are more common with plains and small hills. In Northern Ireland, there are green valleys, gentle hills and small mountains. Also in Northern Ireland is the most big lake United Kingdom - Lough Ney.
In ancient times, almost the entire territory of the British Isles was covered with forests. Then the forests began to be cut down, and in the place of the vacated land they began to arrange pastures and fields. Now almost half of Britain's land is devoted to pasture. The forests are 10 times less than they were before the development of the islands by man.
That is why, at present, the country pays special attention to forest restoration and nature protection. A whole system has been created in the United Kingdom 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 the beautiful natural scenery and wildlife habitats of Great Britain.
Population and culture
There are now more than 63 million people living in the UK, and the population of the country is constantly increasing, as people from many countries seek to move to England for permanent residence. All residents of the United Kingdom are called British, and they speak English language... Of them most of English (about 80%), as well as many Welsh (Welsh), Scots and Irish. Also on the territory of Great Britain there are many representatives of Africa, Asia and immigrants from its former colonies: Indians, Vietnamese and Pakistanis.
British culture is rich and varied. She has had a huge impact on the development of culture and art around the world. But the special influence of British culture is noticeable in countries that were formerly colonies of the British Empire - there, English traditions are visible in the language, and in the legal system, and in culture and art.
One of the greatest strengths of British culture is British literature. William Shakespeare, Daniel Defoe, HG Wells, Alan Milne, Rudyard Kipling, Agatha Christie, John Tolkien, J.K. Rowling - the list of famous English writers is endless. Many generations of people have grown 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, the Rolling Stones, Elton John - these are only the world's most famous musical groups and performers. Paintings by English artists adorn art galleries in the most different 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, ahead of only the German economy. London is a recognized world 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: the automotive industry, aviation industry, textile industry, shipbuilding, pharmaceutical industry, Agriculture etc. In addition, the service sector, which is also incredibly developed in British isles.
sights
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 came from the name of this castle.
Big Ben- a huge bell, which is located in the clock tower of Westminster Palace. The bell weighs 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 that houses the Big Ben bell is called 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 the kings of the United Kingdom are crowned.
Tower Bridgeis one of the main symbols of London. It is located right in the center of the British capital and attracts considerable tourist attention. Indeed, the bridge looks very interesting. We can say that it is two-level: on the first level there is a drawbridge, and on the second, at a height of 44 meters from the first part, there is a pedestrian road that can be used even when the bridge is open. The towers house staircases and huge pedestrian lifts. However, 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 elevator for 30 people and walk along the gallery above the Thames.
Stonehenge - an ancient temple of the Celtic Druids, which is located about 130 kilometers south-west of London. Stonehenge was built from huge stones - menhirs, which, by some miracle, are arranged in a regular circle. But according to scientists, the structure was created about 5000 years ago. For what Stonehenge was built, no one knows for sure, but many agree that it was the sanctuary of the Druids - the priests of the ancient Celts.
Loch Nessis a large lake in Scotland. It was formed as a result of the melting of the glacier. The lake is very elongated in length, and its depth reaches 230 meters, and the waters of Loch Ness are very muddy. Maybe these characteristics of the lake were the reason for the legend of the Loch Ness monster? Nobody knows that. But there is a Loch Ness Monster Museum on the shore of the lake, and travel agencies are happy to take tourists along the most picturesque routes and promise to show the mysterious monster.
Famous people
Great Britain is the birthplace 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 greatest fame had and are creative people born in the British Isles: writer William Shakespeare, scientist Isaac Newton, researcher 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 , footballer David Beckham and many many others.
