Austria, Innsbruck

Innsbruck already !
I know it's not a race, but I'm satisfy to be arrived so quickly : I go fastly, and it's always a pleasure.

So, now, I'm in the Austrians Emperors summer residence : a very beautiful city, with colorated front houses, full of tourists : to visit quietly, it's better to come early. The old city is nice to roam a little, and I visit museums and others cultural places.












But I'm a bit disapointed by the imperial palace : it's in work, we just can visit a half part... however, the chapel with the emperor tomb and his bronz statuary is realy impressive : 3 lines of bronz statues bigger than originals representing his ancestors surround the cenotaph, all represented in their armors or ceremonial dressed... And I have seen the french king Francois Ier !
