VPG-DVD-169 - PROVENCE Marseille is the most important city in Provence.and is situated on the south coast of France. From a distance, one of Marseille's main landmarks rises high above the harbour: the seafarers' church of Notre-Dame-De-La-Garde. With abundant internal furnishings, Byzantine arches, golden mosaics and numerous votives it is a splendid structure inspired by Byzantine Romanic design. The most impressive religious building in Marseille is a fortified monastery church that dates back to the 5th century, the mighty Abbaye Saint Victor. Deep down in the rock is an Early Christian crypt and a number of stone sarcophaguses that contain the remains of various holy martyrs that date back to the Roman persecution of the Christians. A boat trip from Cassis leads to one of the most beautiful coastal areas in Europe, Les Calanques, a unique nature reserve where shining white limestone cliffs plunge more than four hundred metres into the deep blue sea and extend for twenty kilometres. Sur Le Pont D'Avignon is a world famous French song that is familiar to both young and old alike. It is a song of dance on the bridge of the Pont Saint Bénézet but it is more likely that the people here once danced under the bridge, as that is the location of its bars! A place of radiant light and sweet aromas with villages that nestle in the rocks like eagles'nests and with cities that have an historic past. Provence is indeed a captivating land full of fascinating contrasts.

NPM-DVD-109 - Nature Parks THE DANUBE DELTA RomaniaThe Danube Delta, the second largest in Europe after that of the Volga, is located in the north east of the Dobrudscha and covers a total area of 4,152 km². Two thirds of it is in Romania, the remainder being in the Ukraine. The river, that in some areas is covered by reed, water lilies and numerous plant life, also boasts a large variety of rare birds such as the pelican, heron and cormorant that live side by side with seagulls, wild duck, geese, falcon and eagles that live in the willow forests. Since time immemorial, each day the waters of the Danube have washed 185,000 tons of mud into this coastal lake and also into the Black Sea and this has gradually created today's delta that divides into two large sections: the River Delta in the West and the Fluvial Maritime Delta in the East. Protecting the land from the water, the sturdy banks of the river are natural dikes beyond which the local inhabitants have built their small, reed-covered homes most of which are located ten to fifteen metres from the water's edge. The Delta's landscape possesses an ever-changing face across which both land and water constantly interact, each season of the year bringing its own special magic to the ever-changing beauty of this richly alluvial region. The tributaries are flanked by rows of willows and poplars and dragonflies vie from side to side of the shallow lakes. The Danube Delta's tributaries, lakes, forests, vegetation, birds and fish combine to create an indescribable feeling of solitude on each of its intriguing watery horizons.

NPM-DVD-114 - Nature Parks ROYAL CHITWAN PARK NepalOn the Indian border in the south of Nepal is the country's oldest animal reserve, the Royal Chitwan Park. Along with the extremely rare Indian rhinoceros around four hundred animals live within the confines of this fascinating nature reserve. One of the park's fertile valleys is crossed by the rivers Rapti, Reu and Narayani. Due to the monsoons the rivers frequently change course and constantly transform the appearance of the landscape. The rivers are home to a large assortment of fish. Even the rare Ganges Dolphin that is threatened by extinction has found sanctuary in their waters. An area of 932 km² is encircled by the impressive profile of the mighty and majestic Himalayan Mountains and in 1973 the Royal Chitwan was officially designated as a national park. Today it is one of the country's most important tourist destinations. More than seventy per cent of the park is covered by forests of Sal trees, the remainder being divided between river valley woodland and tall elephant grass. With its 800 metre high hills, the park accommodates more than forty species of mammals, around five hundred and fifty varieties of birds and seventy species of butterflies. The subtropical climate also supports the growth of numerous exotic plants, the magnificent blossoms of which are often obscured by dense undergrowth. The name 'Chitwan' means 'Heart Of The Jungle', a name that could not better describe the large variety of fauna and flora to be found in the park. A slow drive on bumpy, natural roads travels past the tall trees of the jungle. From the top of the trees there is the screaming of monkeys as well as a confusing cacophony of birdcall. The park is a paradise for birds and among the four hundred and fifty species that live here there are rare hornbills, cranes, peacocks and birds of prey such as falcons, hawks and white-tailed eagles. The Royal Chitwan was once the hunting ground of kings and noblemen. Today it is the most treasured nature reserve in Asia and a final refuge for numerous animals threatened by extinction.

NPM-DVD-111 - Nature Parks MISSISSIPPI SWAMPS New OrleansNew Orleans is synonymous with good food, jazz and Mardi Gras and it was here that history was created: founded by France, conquered by Spain, bought by President Jefferson and occupied by theYankees! New Orleans also possesses the second largest harbour in the USA and even today they shout, „Full speed ahead!" as paddle steamers negotiate 'Ol Man River', the grand waters of the Mississippi that flow to the Mississippi Swamps. The Swamps are extensive and only experienced boatmen can find their way around the mass of main and side tributaries as it's easy to become disorientated, sight of the sky often being lost due to the density of the trees. In the past 5,000 years the Mississippi had seven different deltas prior to it being reinforced by embankments. When dykes strengthened the river, some side channels remained and these are the famous small rivers known as the Bayous, a labyrinth of small tributaries and waterways. ‚Cowens' is the name of the oldest life form in the swamp, a turtle that grows to about 10 to 25 centimetres long and feeds mainly on small fish and aquatic animals. Almost 30,000 hectares of swampland have been declared a nature reserve in which the complex balance between salt and freshwater reigns supreme and, when viewed from above, has the appearance of a strange network of city streets. The Delta area provides ideal conditions for many feathered species, including around four million ducks and also the national symbol of the USA, the white-headed sea eagle and the variety of animals living in this region, most notably the alligator, is also vast and includes beaver and racoon. The wonderful world of the Swamps with their legends and myths draw the traveller under their spell, a bewitching labyrinth of infinite waterways each one holding a special fascination. The allure of Nature is surely as puzzling as the innermost secrets of the Mississippi Swamps!

NPM-DVD-140 - The Chobe region in the far north east of Botswana is well known for its fascinating nature. Its national park was named after the Chobe River one of the most important tributaries of the Zambesi that leads into the nearby world famous, Victoria Falls. The Chobe River acts as a central gateway to numerous villages as well as to the national park's various safari lodges. Unlike many other countries in Africa, tourism in Botswana attracts a particularly exclusive and well-off clientele. The advantages of this are soon apparent. As the number of tourists here is relatively small there is a far greater sense of freedom than in other parts of Africa. On the perimeter of Kasane, the largest city in this region, there are several luxurious lodges that are located along the banks of the river. Each of the safari lodges provides its own boat trips on the Chobe River and these can also be arranged to suit individual preferences. The river is ideal for the observation of wildlife and even by African standards the diversity of wildlife here is exceptional. One of the most spectacular attractions are huge herds of elephants as more than half the entire elephant population of Botswana lives in and around the Chobe National Park. Although their numbers fluctuate, around thirty five thousand to fifty thousand elephants live here making this the largest elephant enclosure in the world! Until relatively recently many White Tailed Eagles and Screaming Eagles were to be found along the Chobe River. However, they have now become quite scarce as many of them have been hunted. It is fortunate that some have made these areas of Botswana into their permanent habitat. The Chobe River is not only an exceptional body of water that flows through one of the most biodiverse regions in Africa, it is also a unique world full of natural wonder and captivating charm.

NPM-DVD-117 - Nature Parks CANYONLANDS PARK UtahLocated in the south east of the U.S. State of Utah, the Canyonlands National Park is like something from another world with steep river valleys many hundreds of metres deep that wind majestically through a breathtaking landscape. The landscape of the high plateau is dominated by stone and contains a type of desert vegetation that is typical of Utah's wide open spaces. Tall trees are few and far between but the small rugged trees that grow on less nutrient ground have adjusted to the region's harsh climate. During dry summers the temperature frequently reaches more than 35 degrees, thus scant tufts of grass are the most frequent form of vegetation. The banks of both the Green River and Colorado River provide a perfect habitat for several domestic bird species such as ravens, buzzards, owls, heron and geese, while swallows and eagles nest on the higher terrain. Among all the natural beauty there are also numerous traces of human habitation that date from time immemorial that, in the southern section of the park, include the rock paintings and caves of the ancient Fremont People. Each of the numerous textures of the park's sandstone has been subjected to various degrees of erosion that has created a multitude of fascinating natural stone 'sculptures'. Whether it's the Island In The Sky, the Needles or the almost inaccessible Maze area, each section of the park is well worth a visit and for admirers of the American Wild West, this is the place to be! Despite its exceptional and remarkable natural beauty, the vast expanse of Canyonlands is still a well kept secret. A marvellous wonder of majestic Nature.

GTR-DVD-1018 - Delphi Greece Set in the picturesque, deeply fissured hillside of the Parnass, Delphi is where over 2000 years ago the Greeks sought spiritual advice from the god Apollo, who they believed spoke to them through an oracle. Delphi was home to the Amphictyonic League, the most important of the Greek city states, and was also the location of the Pythian Games. Two eagles dispatched by Zeus from the end of the world met at the foot of Mount Parnassus in Delphi, thus creating the 'omphalos' or 'navel of the world'. It was hoped that the priestess attendant at the site, Pythia, would impart the will of God which she expressed through her 'raging mouth', in ecstasy. This idyllic location, which includes the holy temple of Athena Pronaia, has retained its mystique right up to the present day. Global Treasures - History's Most Protected Monuments - Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live today, and what we pass on to future generations. our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.
