  • Maritime Alps Summer 2013 Wildlife Tour Report Botanical Birdwatching
    Maritime Alps Satyrs and the Ancient King A Greentours Tour Report 16th to 23rd July 2013 Led by Paul Cardy and Stefano Doglio Daily Accounts and Systematic Lists written by Paul Cardy The third of the Greentours summer Alpine trilogy, following on from The Dolomites and Slovenia, was an excellent week in the western Alps, on both the French and Italian sides of the glorious Maritime Alps. Even after more than a decade of leading tours here, and living just to the north in the Cottian Alps, the area still holds some surprises. Plant highlights this year included Lilium pomponium, Allium narcissiflorum, and Saxifraga callosa all in fine flower, the latter locally abundant cascading from cliffs and walls. Special were the endemic Micromeria marginata, the beautiful endemic Viola valderia, and many of the local speciality Nigritella corneliana. New for the tour this year were Orobanche salviae, Phyteuma globulariifolium, Knautia mollis, Achillea tomentosa, Gentiana brachyphylla, and Leuzea conifera. It was also a very good season for butterflies, not quite reaching the lofty heights of 2012’s 124 species, but we recorded approaching 100 species, many in large numbers. The first five nights were spent at a small pleasant family run hotel in the Valdeblore hamlet of La Bolline, a fine location, well situated for all excursions, and with a small grocery and a bakery just along the street where I could do the daily picnic shopping whilst Stefano looked after the group at breakfast. For the last two nights of the tour we moved to the other side of Mercantour National Park, and the hamlet of Casterino, which allowed easy access into the Italian Alpi Maritime, a superbly productive area.

  • Le Bulletin De L'
    Association généalogique des Alpes-Maritimes Le bulletin de l’ Trimestriel . N° 28 Décembre 2014 Chers amis généalogistes, Je crois que cette année nous avons dépassé tous les records en nombre de manifestations et d’événements que nous avons organisés ou auxquels nous avons participé. Nous avons eu énormément de journées généalogiques, non seulement dans le département, mais aussi à l’extérieur pour des événements généalogiques auxquels nous avons été invités comme Mauguio, Saint-Raphaël où se sont tenues les journées régionales de généalogie, Péronnas en Rhône-Alpes ou La Côte-Saint-André en Isère. Le projet Bleuets, quant à lui, a été présent partout, d’abord sur le terrain, puis dans la presse et sur les ondes. Le point d’orgue de son activité ayant été les premières rencontres généalogiques sur la Grande Guerre au palais des rois sardes à Nice. Son initiative d’exposition itinérante sur les chasseurs alpins a également remporté un grand succès, non seulement auprès du public, mais aussi auprès de nos élus qui la redemandent. Tout cela est un travail d’équipe qui a parfois des hauts et des bas ; il ne faut pas perdre de vue que la potion magique de la réussite se trouve avant tout dans le dialogue et la mise en valeur des qualités de chacun. Je tiens à ce propos à remercier l’ensemble des bénévoles qui sont la clef de voûte de nos activités et de nos manifestations, car sans eux il n’y aurait pas l’AGAM. Je profite de ces quelques lignes pour vous souhaiter de bonnes fêtes de fin d’année avec vos proches et j’espère vous retrouver très nombreux pour notre assemblée générale fin janvier.

  • L'étape DU TOUR DE FRANCE 2020: a Major First Un Nice for the 30Th
    Nice, October 3rd 2020 L’ÉTAPE DU TOUR DE FRANCE 2020: A major first un Nice for the 30th Key points: ➢ The date for the 30th edition of the Étape du Tour de France has been reserved for 5th July 2020. One week after the professionals, the amateur riders will follow the roads of the 2nd stage on the Tour de France, over a distance of 177 km, starting and finishing in Nice. ➢ In the history of the Étape du Tour de France, it is both the first loop stage and the first to be ridden along the coast. However, during their trek, the 16,000 amateur cyclists expected will twice climb to more than 1,500 metres above sea level on the Col de la Colmiane and Col de Turini. ➢ Bernard Thévenet will be ambassador of the Étape du Tour de France and the Grand Départ of the Tour de France 2020 in Nice. ➢ Registration opens on 21st October at 16.00 on the time to web site. When the Tour de France takes on a southern accent, mountainous stages can be found on the route right from the start. This will indeed be the case in 2020 with the Grand Départ in Nice taking advantage of the Southern Alps from as early as the second stage. The loop-shaped route will be taken several days after the elite riders by the amateur cyclists who sign up for the Étape du Tour de France. Naturally, it is a challenge made for the climbers among the 16,000 participants expected, because over 177 kilometres of racing the expedition will gobble up a total upward gradient of 3,570 metres.

Having fought so hard for both the Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ titles in 2018, the winter break not only provided an opportunity to recharge our batteries, it was also a great chance to assess how we could be stronger during the season ahead. We therefore begin 2019 rejuvenated and with a firm battle plan in place. Being appointed Team Director of Hyundai Motorsport is a completely new challenge for me and a step forward from what I’ve done so far, which gives me even more motivation to work together with the team to reach our goals. Our objectives for WRC remain the same as they have always been, namely to fight for the Manufacturers’ and Drivers’ titles. This is important for Hyundai and our N brand. The WRC is incredibly competitive and the other teams will want to approach the new season with the same winning mind-set. We have to make sure we’re delivering and performing at our best at all times. In my new role, it is a real privilege to welcome Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena to the Hyundai Motorsport family. Nine-time world champions, they will contest six rounds with our team, starting on Rallye Monte-Carlo, an event they have won a record seven times.
