Maastricht Travel Guide: Caves, Fortresses & D'Artagnan Statue Must-Sees part 2
the sleep was okay I'm not going to Li was okay but ER for today um the idea I have two more places to visit is on the way one is Daran statue and the second one is Fort S Peter for that one and I give you a tip right now for that one you have to go to a guided tour it's a €9 and um it's in English is at least right now in January there is one daily and January February February was there today is the last day of J February it will be one every day and it's in English also or in dut so depending on what you need but just so you know so you consider see right now there is a lot of available seats so SE seats so uh I I will ask the guy in the front if I can just pay it there because like why book it if I can just go there and pay it there at least for me it's easier improvising it but it's a beautiful work to get there so let's go next to this big building you have this small Park entrance and that's a statue let's go this is the statue of Dyan this is a musketeer an actual musketeer when Alejandro Dumas wrote the The Three Musketeers of course Dyan here in the flesh was one of the main characters now is but outside of that book is an actual person a musketeer in France from France that died in 1673 the 25th of June and H he died in Mich they took it in 13 days and because of that ER the king of Fran decided to make a fortress St Peters for foress that we're going to visit right now and this statue was H built of course after in honor of dartan all for one and one for all and ER I will try to this is the the level of disrespect right now I don't speak French I will try to pronounce it 21 no 21 No 2 2 yeah 2 two and h of course if you know French correct me down below tell me I'm an ignorant ass no but they correct me because it would be awesome to actually H know if I did it correctly or not I have no idea obviously I'm going like an hour and 15 minutes I will I will arrive there and I will be like basically 1 hour and 15 minutes like mhm and what I do now so I will cheat cheat a little bit and I will fly the Drone the Drone the mini drones for those that have no idea ER the mini drone is you can fly it but you have to register to have a number you don't need a dry pette because it's under 250 gram but you have to register I have to do that but I don't have the number right now so I can I have to apply and blah blah blah so uh but I want to fly it of course so let's go I will I will try to use this time and fly a little bit little that's it it's just so I can fly it and and actually have a clip or two is part of the old ER walls of the city we saw the front this is one of the sides and dyan's statue is right around that corner and they think he die in that spot they not exactly sure where but he knows he die trying to take over the city so H this will be the outside of the of the city and this will be the walls that they will try to break in that's why you have different like a names for people the important people that die here including the statue of Dyan so this would be the medieval walls I call everything that is all medieval God damn oh man I love this okay guys you enter here and you have two options you have as you can see here different times wait okay different times if I put my finger it will put the focus there um you have different times here in Dutch and in English and the price for one is here 975 but you

bad the atmosphere was here there was enough air for the fire because there are so but it was also their death sentence because at a certain moment one Pig escaped to the outside world the poor French soldiers also were very hungry they thought were one uh there's a little mistake on the drawing that M was not existing here but for the rest those animals were Liv living here 80 million years ago
