What is landsurveying? Land surveying is the measurement and mapping of our surrounding environment using mathematics, specialised technology and equipment. Surveyors measure just about anything on the land, in the sky or on the ocean bed. They even measure polar ice-caps.

INTRODUCTION Two classes of landsurveying students aged 17 to 19 worked on this project. in 8 French/Italian teams. They first introduced themselves in short movies that they sent to their partners. With the movies and by communicating on the forum, their partners then had to draw a portrait of their partners and publish them on Twinspace. Then, they created topograpphical riddles for their partners to solve. Once solved, they had to write a page with more information about they places they had found. Here are all the pages gathered in this book. We hope that you will enjoy them as much as we did when creating them.

Sens Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Sens) is a Catholic cathedral in Sens in Burgundy, eastern France. It was one of the earliest Gothic buildings in the country, and the largest of the early Gothic churches. The choir was begun in 1140. As was typical in cathedral construction work progressed westwards, building the nave, with the west front completed around 1200. The structure was finally completed in the 16th century. The architecture of its choir influenced, through the architect William of Sens, that of the choir of Canterbury Cathedral. 6

VAUX-LE-VICOMTE-CASTLE Start point 635419.125 E-6856428.365 N, starting from the previous point draw a line with azimuth 141.645816 trace another line between the first point (669043.980 E – 6831901.589 N) and the second point (667088.244 E – 6830596.796 N) Starting from the first point I have drawn a circle with radius of 10219.45326 m. The second circle was starting from the second point with radius of 11913.63027 m. The intersection I have found is the Melun Castle.
Vaux-le-Vicomte is a castle located about 6 km east of Melun and 55 km south-east of Paris in the French department of Seine-et-Marne in the Île-de-France.

Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry
Following the indications given we found the point and the environment. After drawing the semicircle we found a figure like an autodrome. The indication of Ken Block was essential.
Autodrome de Montlhéry is a motor racing circuit, officially called L’autodrome de LinasMontlhéry, located south-west of the small town of Montlhéry about thirty kilometres south of Paris. Industrialist Alexandre Lamblin hired René Jamin to design the 2,548.24 metres (1.58 mi) oval shaped track for up to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) vehicles at 220 km/h (140 mph). It was initially called Autodrome parisien, and had especially high banking. A road circuit was added in 1925.The first race there, the 1925 French Grand Prix, was held on 26 July 1925 and organised by The Automobile Club de France Grand Prix. It was a race in which Robert Benoist in a Delage won; Antonio Ascari died in an Alfa Romeo P2. The Grand Prix revisited the track in 1927 and each year between 1931 and 1937. In 1939 the track was sold to the government, deprived of maintenance, and again sold to Union technique de l’automobile et du cycle (UTAC) in December 1946. The "Coupe du Salon", "Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or" and the "1000 km" were arranged irregularly since then, as the track has had several high-speed problems. Fatal accidents at Autodrome de Montlhéry include Benoît Nicolas Musy (1956), and the one in which Peter Lindner, Franco Patria and three flag marshals died in 1964. The last certification for racing was gained in 2001. The first race, the 1925 French Grand Prix, was held on 26 July 1925 and organised by the Automobile Club de France. Robert Benoist in a Delage won; but Antonio Ascari died in a crash of his Alfa Romeo P2.

After the war, the base was completely rebuilt, with a new 9000' (3000m) jet runway laid down parallel to the wartime 05/23 main. The wartime runway was reduced in width, resurfaced with asphalt and reused as a taxiway. The secondary 11/29 was also refurbished, however it was closed for the past few years. Aerial photography of the base shows it recently marked with an excellent concrete surface. New hangars and support facilities were built along with a new support area. Today, the base is a modern, fully equipped Nato base.
