A WALKING TOUR OF LEIDEN

This is a video of an almost 4-hour walking tour of Leiden to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims sailing to Plymouth Colony. The Delanos and de Lannoys are mentioned in several places in the video. What is very neat is that the DK EU Family History tour visited all of these spots on our tours of Leiden in September, 2023, so those who could not be on the tour will get a very good look at Philippe's and his parents' hometown.

The video is described below (text taken from the linked YouTube posting).

On Saturday May 16, 2020, the digital opening of the Pilgrim Year Leiden400 took place. The organisation took the viewer on a city walk through the historic city centre, interviewed directors, curators of museums and other partners involved while explaining the fascinating story of Leiden in the Golden Age and the role of the Pilgrims during this period.
