Conférence : une cathédrale dans la ville ⛪

Vous vous souvenez de l'émotion provoquée par l’incendie du 15 avril 2019 ? Notre-Dame de Paris est alors apparue comme un monument appartenant à l’humanité tout entière.

Comment ce bâtiment produit au Moyen Âge par une ville, Paris, puis restauré au 19e siècle sous l’égide de Viollet-le-Duc en même temps que la ville se transformait, a-t-il pu prendre cette dimension internationale ?

Il semble que la cathédrale ait désormais échappé à Paris ! De la ville au monde, tel est le parcours que vous propose Claude Gauvard et Boris Bove dans cette conférence samedi 15 avril à 19h. 📅

Réservations 👉 https://www.musee-moyenage.fr/activites/programmation/une-cathedrale-dans-la-ville.html

Cette conférence bénéficie du soutien de la Société des Amis du Musée de Cluny.

Tous les samedis et dimanches de l'été, l'association Guides CASA (Communautés d'accueil dans les sites artistiques) propose une visite des abords de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. Plongez dans l’histoire de l’édifice et de son lien profond avec l’Île de la cité et Paris !

Les visites sont gratuites !

Vous pouvez également réserver une visite en contactant l'association via le formulaire disponible sur le site internet www.guidecasa.com

a great resource!

Talented Lucas Destrem has come up with an original Paris metro map to support culture, by replacing classic metro stations by museums, theaters, concert venues, movie theaters, and other libraires we all miss. A wonderful initiative!

Near Bordeaux
A fun look at life in a French Chateau that is just the tip of that world

This is the extraordinary view that I awoke to at the chateau. Lalande was bathed the most extraordinary orangey-pink hue, and it wasn’t just confined to the sky - every object seemed to be reflecting the same warm tinge.
I was amazed to discover that it wasn’t just a trick of the light. A huge storm in the Sahara swept the desert dust over Spain and Portugal, and even as far as us in the heart of France! When I went outside, I discovered that everything was covered in fine red sand. I’ve never seen anything like it.
It was a powerful reminder that nothing that occurs on this planet happens in isolation, we are all affected by events taking place thousands of miles away 🧡

the history of Paris, always fascinating

What is left of the Templars today? Not much. The once impressive fortress was turned into a prison during the Revolution. Napoleon, in attempt to avoid it becoming a place of pilgrimage had it torn down Napoleon III finished off the job. Now they remain in street names ‘rue du Temple’ or the metro stop Temple. At the Mairie of the 3rd where the keep once was you can find a small plaque and some discreet markings On the floor but sadly that is all…..

When the world wide web entered our homes in the mid 90s, the French must have been feeling a distinct sense of dejá vu. After all, anyone in France with a telephone had been online an entire decade before the internet came along. From 1978 to 2012, there was Minitel, one of the most successful pre...
