Le projet comprend : - le noyau Nord, autour du stade de France jusqu’à la porte de la Chapelle ; - le noyau Ouest, autour du bois de Boulogne tout en étant ancré sur les sites sportifs de la porte de Saint Cloud ; - à cela s’ajoutent un nombre limité de sites de compétition « hors noyaux » en région Ile de France et en province, en particulier pour les épreuves de football, ainsi que 2 sites dans le centre de Paris (Tour Eiffel et POPB). Sur chaque site, le projet s’efforce de combiner deux objectifs : permettre aux jeux de se dérouler dans les meilleures conditions pour les sportifs, les visiteurs et les spectateurs ; mais également apporter en héritage le plus de réalisations et d’embellissements pour les sites et leurs habitants.

  • CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL from the Arc De Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens
    CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL From the Arc de Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens Don’t leave Paris without experiencing the avenue des Champs-Elysées (shahnz ay-lee-zay). This is Paris at its most Parisian: monumental side- walks, stylish shops, grand cafés, and glimmering showrooms. This tour covers about three miles. If that seems like too much for you, break it down into several different outings (taxis roll down the Champs-Elysées frequently and Métro stops are located every 3 blocks). Take your time and enjoy. It’s a great roll or stroll day or night. The tour begins at the top of the Champs-Elysées, across a huge traffic circle from the famous Arc de Triomphe. Note that getting to the arch itself, and access within the arch, are extremely challenging for travelers with limited mobility. I suggest simply viewing the arch from across the street (described below). If you are able, and you wish to visit the arch, here’s the informa- tion: The arch is connected to the top of the Champs-Elysées via an underground walkway (twenty-five 6” steps down and thirty 6” steps back up). To reach this passageway, take the Métro to the not-acces- sible Charles de Gaulle Etoile station and follow sortie #1, Champs- Elysées/Arc de Triomphe signs. You can take an elevator only partway up the inside of the arch, to a museum with some city views. To reach the best views at the very top, you must climb the last 46 stairs. For more, see the listing on page *TK.

  • Panthéon Et La Construction D’Un Arc De Triomphe À La E 1810 : À L’Occasion Des Cérémonies De Mariage De Gloire De La Grande Armée
    DOSSIER ENSEIGNANT Arc de triomphe de l’Étoile L’arc de triomphe de l’Étoile, dont la construction fut ordonnée par Napoléon Ier en 1806 en l’honneur des armées impériales, fut achevé sous le règne de Louis-Philippe en 1836. L’architecte Chalgrin s’ins- pira des arcs antiques pour en élaborer les plans. À travers son histoire, son architecture, ses inscriptions, ses sources d’inspiration et ses sculptures, l’élè- ve perçoit la fonction symbolique de l’Arc. S’il célèbre toujours le triomphe des armées françaises de la Révolution à nos jours, sa signification a toutefois évolué depuis le XIXe siècle. Il occupe aujourd’hui une place de premier plan dans la vie civique et civile. Abordant l’histoire des XIXe et XXe siècles, l’ur- banisme, l’éducation civique ou encore les arts plastiques, l’étude du monument répond aux exigences de l’interdisciplinarité. Ce dossier enseignant reprend de manière didactique ces différents axes de travail, précise les objectifs pédagogiques et prépare la visite du monument.

  • Au Bois De Boulogne Pen and Black Ink and Watercolour, Within an Irregularly Shaped Overmount
    Théophile-Alexandre STEINLEN (Lausanne 1859 - Paris 1923) Au Bois de Boulogne Pen and black ink and watercolour, within an irregularly shaped overmount. Signed Steinlen at the right centre. Inscribed and signed (by Aristide Bruant) 'Quand on cherche un femme à Paris / Maint’nant même en y mettant l’prix / On n’rencontre plus qu’ des debris / ou d’la charogne; / Mais pour trouver c’qu’on a d’besoin / Il existe encore un bon coin / C’est au bout d’Paris…pas ben loin: / Au bois d’ Boulogne. A Bruant' on the mount. 289 x 219 mm. [sheet, at greatest dimensions] This drawing by Steinlen illustrates the song ‘Au Bois de Boulogne’ by Aristide Bruant, and was used for the cover of the July 1891 issue of Le Mirliton, a Parisian journal founded by Bruant in 1885 and named after his café of the same name. The cover, as eventually printed, incorporated the score and the lyrics of the song, which alludes to the nocturnal activities known to take place in the Bois de Boulogne, the large park near the western edge of Paris. The lyrics to the song, written by Bruant on the mount of this drawing by Steinlen, may be approximately translated as ‘When looking for a woman in Paris / Nowadays, even if one pays good money / We only meet debris / or carrion; / But to find what you need / There is still a good spot / It’s at the end of Paris ... not far away: / At the Bois de Boulogne.’ As Phillip Dennis Cate has noted of Bruant, ‘His songs were of street people…sung in the argot of the street.
