NAOURS

Very small city, but because of the WW1, very interesting :
translation is not from me : The Underground City of Naours. Initially quarries that were used to shelter local inhabitants, they have lasted through time and now reveal their history to visitors.
During the Great War, the underground cave network was used as an organised tour destination : a means of distraction for soldiers on leave or convalescent behind the front lines.

TEXAS

And thank you Karine regarding your comment about your previous word “Olympia”. It is indeed the town where the Olympic Games took place for the very first time, and continues to be the town where the Olympic flame comes from, and from there it goes out to the city which has been elected for the next Olympic Games.
