Day 3 ** Jul 2 Berlin (L) Germany, is a country with a long history dating back to Germanic tribes in 750 BC. People often describe Germany as modern and cosmopolitan. We will learn how World War II and the cold war have affected the country and how technology and manufacturing have changed people’s lifestyles. Berlin, the capital and largest city of Germany by both area and population, is a world city of culture, politics, media, and science. Upon arrival at Berlin Airport, an Air & Sea Travel representative will greet us and escort us on a brief city tour before lunch. We will visit the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a symbolic center of West Berlin and a memorial to peace and reconciliation, located in a busy shopping district. (The original church was badly damaged in an air raid in World War II.) We will see a large Mercedes logo rotating day and night on top of a high-rise tower at Europa Center, a busy shopping complex. Then we will have a photo stop at the Schloss Bellevue, the official residence of Germany’s president. We continue to the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin's most famous landmark and symbol of unity. We will see the Siegessaule, a victory column celebrating Prussia’s victories in the Danish-Prussian War (1864), the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71). After lunch, we will check into our hotel. You can explore the city or enjoy free time on our own. Hotel Accommodation: InterContinental Berlin or Similar 5* Day 4 ** Jul 3 Berlin (B, L, D) A full day city tour of Berlin is scheduled for today. Our first stop is a private museum called Checkpoint Charlie Museum or the Wall Museum. It is named after the famous crossing point at the Berlin Wall, and was created to document the so-called "best border security system in the world". Then, we will visit the Berlin Wall Memorial that commemorates the division of Berlin by the Wall and the deaths that occurred there. Next, we will go to the Reichstag Building, a historic edifice in Berlin, constructed to house the Imperial Diet of the German Empire. The roof terrace and dome of the Reichstag Building will offer us spectacular views of the parliamentary and government district and Berlin's sights. After lunch, we will enjoy some shopping time followed by a 1.5 km walk on Unter Den Linden, an arterial road in the center of Berlin. We will pass by numerous important buildings such as the Humboldt University and the Staatsoper, and landmarks such as the Neue Wache and the Zeughaus. Then, we will visit the Potsdamer Platz, formerly a big empty wasteland due to the Berlin Wall. After the Wall was torn down, this big empty space was transformed into a popular shopping district. We can see remnants of the Berlin Wall from here. After dinner, we will return to our hotel. Day 5 ** Jul 4 Berlin – Potsdam – Cologne (B, L, D) This morning we will transfer to Potsdam, the capital city of the German federal state of Brandenburg. First, we will have a photo stop in Potsdam Conference Area, where The Big Three--Stalin, Churchill, and Truman—met from July 17 – August 2, 1945 to negotiate terms for the end of World War II. After that, we will visit the Sanssouci Palace and Park, the summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. The 18th century interior of the palace has been preserved, allowing visitors to see more of the “philosopher of Sanssouci.” Its elegance and stylish displays of grandeur are a clear expression of the king’s love for beautiful surroundings – his “Prussian Arcadia.” It became a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1990. After lunch, we will transfer to Cologne, a 2,000-year-old city spanning the Rhine River in western Germany and the region’s cultural hub. Tonight, we will enjoy a Special Cologne Meal (pork knuckle) with Cologne beer. After dinner, we will have an Evening Panorama Cruise on the Rhine River to enjoy the sparkling light and night view of the river. Hotel Accommodation: Maritim Hotel Köln or Similar 4.5* Day 6 ** Jul 5 Cologne – Koblenz – Rudesheim – Frankfurt (B, L, D) After breakfast, we will go to Cologne Cathedral Church, Germany’s largest cathedral and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction began in 1248 and was completed in 1880. Some of the special features in the church are the Modern Stained Glass Window, the Medieval Statue of St. Christopher, and the Shrine of the Three Kings. Apart from its exceptional intrinsic value and artistic masterpieces, Cologne Cathedral bears witness to the strength and endurance of European Christianity. On the way to Rudesheim, we will stop at Koblenz, also called Deutsches Eck in German. It is an ancient city in central Germany, and a gateway to the terraced vineyards and castle ruins in the Rhine Gorge. We will see the Kyffhäuser Monument, an Emperor William monument within the Kyffhäuser mountain range in the German state of Thuringia. We will see the Main tower and equestrian statue of Emperor William I. After lunch, we will transfer to Rudesheim, a winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge and part of the UNCESCO World Heritage Site in this region. Drosselgasse is a small historic alleyway in Rudesheim. Enjoy some time here to view historic and impressive buildings on this narrow street, take some photos, and shop for souvenirs. After walking in this area, it is time for us to have wine tasting. As we ride a cable car up to the Niederwalddenkmal, a monument located in the Niederwald, near the city, we will see vineyards covering the countryside. We will sample wines and learn about the wine culture when we get there. Tonight, we will arrive in Frankfurt, the largest financial center on the continent and the historical city of coronations. Hotel Accommodation: InterContinental Frankfurt or Similar 5* Day 7 ** Jul 6 Frankfurt – Heidelberg – Rothenburg (B, L, D) This morning, we will have a city tour of Frankfurt. We will see the Eiserner Steg, a famous iron and concrete footbridge used daily by over 10,000 pedestrians who travel between the city center and the district of Sachsenhausen. Then we will have a photo stop at St. Paul’s Church, the symbol of German democracy. Next we will go the Romerberg Plaza, the most beautiful square in Frankfurt where we will see many picturesque medieval buildings such as City Hall. After lunch, we will transfer to the university town of Heidelberg. Upon arrival, we will visit the ruins of Heidelberg Castle, one of the most important Renaissance structures north of the Alps. The castle is a combination of several buildings surrounding an inner courtyard, put together with a haphazard look. Each building highlights a different period of German architecture. The castle was built in 1300 and is almost as old as the city. After visiting the castle, we will see the Heidelberg Tun, the world’s largest wine barrel. It can hold 220,000 liters (58,124 gallons) of wine, and has a dance floor built on top of it. A staircase allows us to climb to the top of the barrel for a quick dance! Next we will take a “philosophy walk” on the Philosophenweg, a congenial place used by Heidelberg’s university professors and philosophers where they could talk seriously and contemplate while enjoying the charming view of the Neckar River. We will see Karl-Theodor-Brucke, commonly known as the old bridge that connects the Old City with the eastern part of the Neuenheim district on the opposite bank; the Church of the Holy Spirit, the largest and most im¬por¬tant church in Hei¬del¬berg; and City Hall, the focal point for local politics and the headquarters of the city's administrative services. We will tranfer to Rothenburg after we leave this romantic city. Hotel Accommodation: Hotel Eisenhut or Similar 4* Day 8 ** Jul 7 Rothenburg – Nuremberg – Munich (B, L, D) We will have a brief city tour of Rothenburg after breakfast.

  • Les Grandes Dates
    Les grandes dates «Vigueur persistante et fécondité» Cette chronologie du «service des monuments historiques» traite aussi bien du domaine des immeubles, de leurs abords, des espaces protégés, que des objets mobiliers et des orgues. Elle évoque aussi le domaine de l'archéologie et de l'inventaire général du patrimoine culturel et l'émergence des associations de sauvegarde, des associations de professionnels et des organisations internationales. Ministère de la culture et de la communication - direction générale des patrimoines - octobre 2013 1789 - 1913 1789 Décret des 2-4 novembre 1789 qui met les biens ecclésiastiques «à la la disposition de la Nation». Cette disposition concerne autant les biens du clergé régulier que les édifices du culte et les meubles les garnissant. Sauf aliénation intervenue postérieurement (par exemple dans le cadre de la vente des biens nationaux), tous les édifices du culte et tous les objets mobiliers qu'ils contiennent, et qui sont antérieurs à 1789, sont propriété publique. Un avis du Conseil d'État du 2 pluviôse an XIII a précisé que cette appropriation publique s'était faite au profit des communes en ce qui concerne les églises paroissiales ; seules les cathédrales, sièges d'évêchés, sont propriété de l'État (ainsi que quelques édifices acquis ou réaffectés au culte postérieurement). 1790 Instruction du 13 octobre 1790 chargeant les directoires des départements et la municipalité de Paris de «dresser l'état et de veiller à la conservation des monuments, des églises et maisons devenus domaines nationaux». La Commission des monuments organisée en 10 sections se réunit à compter du 8 novembre 1790 : les savants rassemblés dans cette commission doivent donner leur avis sur la vente ou le recueil pour la Nation des livres, monuments, chartes, et autres objets scientifiques.

  • Fiche De Synthèse La Protection Du Patrimoine Et Sa Genèse1
    Fiche de Synthèse Pierre-Alain FOUR 01-09-2003 Agenda métropolitain- Automne 2003- Gros plan : Quand le Patrimoine devient un ressort de la modernité La protection du patrimoine et sa genèse1 Introduction « Dans notre vie culturelle contemporaine, peu de mots ont autant de pouvoirs d’évocation que celui de « patrimoine ». Il évoque pêle-mêle l’authenticité de certains objets, leur valeur, le poids de la tradition ou le respect à l’égard du passé, un appareil législatif et réglementaire, des institutions, des usages touristiques et savants, une architecture du réemploi, voire un développement culturel » remarque Dominique Poulot dans Patrimoine et Musées2. Omniprésente dans notre quotidien, la notion de patrimoine, dans son acception contemporaine, se développe à partir du début du XIXè. Dominique Poulot note encore que « La notion de patrimoine ne s’est imposée, dans la sorte d’évidence qui est aujourd’hui la sienne, qu’à l’issue d’un processus complexe, de très longue durée, et profondément culturel ». Elle a donc connu des évolutions intenses et, d’une certaine façon, similaires à celles des sciences sociales passant du positivisme rationaliste du XIXè siècle au soupçon contemporain. Aujourd’hui, nous insistons sur les conditions socio-économiques qui fabriquent un point de vue sur telle ou telle question et le patrimoine n’échappe pas à cette mise en perspective. On ne peut aborder la question de la politique de protection du patrimoine hors du contexte sociétal qui lui a permis de voir le jour. Et parfois, telle restauration nous en apprend plus sur les mentalités d’une époque que le bâtiment lui-même : la notion de patrimoine était comprise différemment, ne serait-ce que parce que les conditions qui en ont permis l’émergence étaient différentes de celles qui la sous-tendent aujourd’hui.

  • Paris “The City of Lights” 10Days -9 Nights (09 Nts Paris)
    Paris “The city of lights” 10Days -9 Nights (09 nts Paris) A few words about the destination… On the banks of the river Seine in northern France, Paris attracts 42 million visitors a year, making it the most visited city in the world. Beginning at the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs- arranged in the Petit parc (185 acres), the extensive Grand Parc provides opportunities for pleasant strolls or long walks. Free time for coffee or snack After your break your guide will take you to the Petit Trianon, a small chateau in the grounds of Versailles used by Marie Antoinette for festivities and to escape the overwhelming court etiquette. We will also discover the Queen’s Hamlet, a stylised Norman village and farm built for Marie Antoinette where she retreated with her closest friends to enjoy an intimately rustic life. Completed just a few years before the Revolution, the Hamlet remains a testiment to the Queen’s desire for a simpler life over the cold marble vaults of the main palace. Back to Paris and drop off at your hotel. For the night we suggest to watch the unique cabaret review show at the Moulin Rouge in Montmartre. The Moulin Rouge is known all over the world for its famous French cancan and has been performing its legendary review shows for 120 years. The current review, entitled "Fairy", includes Day 5 Paris – Normandy D-Day .

Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles June 30 – September 27, 2009 Francois Girardon, Louis XIV Equestrian Cast from the Small Model for the Colossal Statue, bronze, about 1710, The Royal Collection Trust LOS ANGELES—Bronze sculpture played a crucial role in the history of early modern French art and society—from the Renaissance court of François I at Fontainebleau until the reign of Louis XV—serving as a medium of self-representation for the French monarchy, and ultimately becoming a model imitated throughout Europe. Co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Musée du Louvre, Paris, Cast in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution is the first comprehensive exhibition to examine the art of the French bronze sculpture from the Renaissance until the end of the ancien régime, and the result of more than three decades of collaborative scholarship by the French Bronze Study Group. After debuting in Paris and traveling to New York, the exhibition will be on view June 30 through September 27, 2009 at the J.

    André Le Nôtre In Perspective 1613-2013 Until 23 February 2014 F Activity O R booklet C H I LD REN The most famous gardener in History Who was André Le Nôtre? The exhibition at the Palace of Versailles, which brings the celebrations dedicated to Le Nôtre to a close, shows the genius of this incredible creator who is famous for designing the estate of Versailles. Born into a family of royal gardeners at the Tuileries in Paris in 1613, André Le Nôtre took over from his father brilliantly, first working for Louis XIII and then becoming indispensable to Louis XIV. Gardener, designer, architect and visionary landscaper, his name is inextricably linked with French formal gardens. Through his many large-scale accomplishments, including those at Vaux-le-Vicomte, Sceaux, Saint-Cloud and Chantilly — not to mention his creations in Europe —, he has left an imposing body of work, making his mark right up to the present day. –2– e Room 1 f vThe gardener and art collector Not only was he a gardener, he was also an art lover! Having trained under Simon Vouet, first painter to King Louis XIII, Le Nôtre was one of the era's most important collectors — as illustrated here in the re-creation of his collection room. Master paintings, sculptures inspired by mythology, rare medals: the guides written for rich travellers of the day already indicated that his collection was In the Le Nôtre collection: a painting by Nicolas Poussin exceptional.

    Villes et Pays dart et dhistoire Amiens Métropole laissez-vous conter Les Journées Européennes du Patrimoine 14 & 15 septembre 2013 1913-2013 : cent ans de protection du 7 au 19 septembre La porte du ravelin de Montrescu, dite aussi porte François Ier, ici représentée par les frères Duthoit, est l’un des plus anciens éléments du site de la citadelle et le premier à avoir été classé monument historique sur la liste de 1840. DITO Transmettre et partager ! un enjeu majeur pour les patrimoines d’Amiens Métropole Cette année, la thématique du ministère de la Culture - « 1913-2013 : cent ans de protection » - se propose de commémorer la loi fondatrice pour la protection des monuments historiques Een France, celle du 31 décembre 1913. Par la même occasion, elle vise à célébrer le 30e anniversaire des Journées européennes du patrimoine, un évènement de la rentrée cher aux Amiénois. Mais que signifie au juste le classement au titre des monuments historiques ? Les arguments juridiques de ce classement tirent leur origine de la volonté d’épargner les chefs- d’œuvre de l’art et les monuments qui portent le témoignage des saccages de la Révolution française. Outre la prise de conscience patrimoniale de l’Etat, c’est la mobilisation de chaque acteur (professionnel, propriétaire et gestionnaire, privés et publics…) mais aussi celle de chacun d’entre nous, qui s’impose pour mener à chaque instant une lutte déterminée et affronter l’usure du temps et les atteintes de toutes sortes. L’évolution du processus de préservation et de conservation s’inscrit également dans un mouvement étroitement lié au sentiment d’appartenance à la nation et à la construction identitaire de la France et de ses territoires.
