Le Valais s'étend au sud ouest de la Suisse sur toute la longueur des 150 km d'une bande étroite que forme la vallée du Rhône entre le lac Léman et le glacier du Rhône.
La diversité des paysages, de la nature et de la culture se reflète également dans l'éventail de l'offre des destinations de vacances valaisannes. Elle englobe un vaste menu allant de stations de sports à la mode aux paradis aquatiques pour enfants, en passant par la Mecque du golf, l'oasis de bien-être et la destination de randonnées d'hiver.
De chez nous - en Valais, soyons précis. Nous vivons au Sud, pour ainsi dire en bordure de la Suisse, mais cependant bien au coeur des Alpes, là où les hivers d'antan sont mémorables. De là à dire que nous leur ressemblons à nos hivers, rigoureux et uniques, il n'y a qu'une saison pour s'en convaincre.
Uniques, nos stations de ski qui mènent à plus de 3'000 mètres d'altitude et nos 121 stations ont toutes leur spécificité. Les plus petites par leur charme et leur authenticité, les plus grandes par leur magnificence.

Heritage in Wexford.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All counties in Ireland have their own story and in a land steeped in myth and legend, Wexford is no exception. The origin of County Wexford is lost in the mists of time but legend tells us that when Garman Garbh was drowned on the mudflats in waters released by an enchantress, the vast expanse of harbour thus created was named The Lake of Garman or Loch Garman, the Gaelic name for Wexford.
Our origins can also be traced to the Celtic Tribes who moved Westward across Europe and were attracted to the natural harbour of Loch Garman on the South East corner of Ireland where in the early 900’s Wexford was one of the first Irish towns. Although once maurading warriors the Vikings did settle well in Wexford becoming citizens, traders and their early legacy include the narrow winding streets – still very much in evidence in Wexford Town. The name Wexford is derived from the Viking Weissford the “Land of Mud Flats”. Evidence of our Celtic and Viking past is frequently being discovered in archaeological digs in Wexford.
In the Spring of 1169 the town of Wexford was taken over by an invading force of Norman Knights who, over the following centuries enclosed the town and regulated trade (the remains of the old Norman walls can still be seen in Wexford). Amongst the many visitors to Wexford at this time was King Henry 11 who visited Selskar Abbey to atone for his part in the murder of St Thomas a Beckett. Through many turbulent years Wexford survived warring factions, plague and the religious upheaval of the Reformation.
The 1600’s also brought suffering, Wexford became a naval base for the Confederate Government in its war with the Parliament Forces and this led to a massacre in 1649, when Wexford fell to an army led by Oliver Cromwell. For almost a hundred years relative calm was restored to Wexford but in the hot summer of 1798 it exploded once more when many woes of past decades surfaced with violent results on both sides, which are still evoked in story and song.
From those dark days of 1798 Wexford entered an age of expansion the port was thriving and reaching its zenith with hundreds of ships trading into lands in Africa, the Black Sea and the United States of America. Trade increases led to the growth of industry such as whiskey distilling and the manufacture of agricultural machinery. The population grew steadily and many new streets were constructed. In 1851 construction began on the elegant “Twin Churches” whose stately spires still elegantly outline the Wexford skyline. Many other important buildings were also constructed at this time St Peter’s College in 1819, The Mechanics Institute in 1849 and the Tate School in 1867 (now the home of Wexford Borough Council the Municipal Buildings). The Railway reached Wexford in 1870 and was continued along the Quay Front in 1882 – it has indeed now become a feature of the award winning Quay Front and trains still pass through, as part of the mainline service from Dublin to Rosslare, delighting tourists. With the success of the railways and the booming shipping industry Wexford was at this stage a very lucrative place to live but it was not to last …
After both World Wars the fortunes of Wexford, like many other counties in Ireland began to decline, although Ireland remained neutral there was a sharp decline in our traditional industries. Sediment built up in the Harbour, which conspired to end our shipping tradition. Emigration also took its toll on our work populance, however the cosmopolitan outlook (springing from our seafaring tradition) made the town very attractive as a tourist destination. To honour the Wexford / United States connection the people of America presented Wexford with the John Barry Memorial Statue, located at Crescent Quay. John Barry, Father of the American Navy was actually born in County Wexford. We have had many eminent visitors to Wexford over the years, John F Kennedy visited the county of his ancestors just threw months before his assassination. Former President Dwight Eisenhower and Mayor Daly of New York were also distinguished visitors.
In latter years Wexford has renewed relationships with our European Celtic cousins when it was twinned with Coueron, France and has enjoyed many cultural exchange visits since that time.
Here is a brief example of some of the many historical and commemorative sites you can visit in County Wexford - The Irish National Heritage Park, The Irish Agricultural Museum at Johnstown Castle, The many 1798 Memorials and Commemorative Centres, The Hook Lighthouse, Dunbrody Abbey, The Dunbrody Famine Ship, Enniscorthy Castle, Vinegar Hill, The Yola Farmstead, Guillemot Maritime Museum, John F Kennedy Arboretum & Kennedy Homestead, Tintern Abbey, The Brown-Clayton Monument.
In Wexford we believe in and are proud of our history but we also believe in looking forward with continued growth re-investment and urban development. We hope that by visiting the thriving bustling cosmopolitan centre that Wexford has today become – you can also stop, look back and wonder at where it all began

Welcome To The Copper Coast
Co. Waterford is a collaboration of everything that Ireland has to offer, from mountains to sea, from city to village, from ticking-clock pub to a lively traditional session. The road between Tramore and Dungarvan passes through six small villages and shows off glorious views of towering cliffs, sandy coves and caves, all against the brooding backdrop of the Comeragh mountains - This is the Copper Coast.
This is an area which richly rewards time spent in exploration. As well as the rugged coastline with its string of little coves, caves and harbours you can visit, in the surrounding area, forests, rivers, bogs and lakes or search out historical sites and monuments dating back as far as 5000 years. Naturally, geologically, archaeologically fascinating; also just a really nice place to be. So stay awhile, ask around and discover the Copper Coast. You are very welcome.
