  • Place Saint-Michel the Place Saint-Michel Is
    Place Saint-Michel The Place Saint-Michel is simple – a triangle between two streets, uniform buildings along both, designed by the same architect, a walk of smooth cobblestone. The centerpiece is St. Michael defeating a devil; far above them are four statues symbolizing the four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice. This monument came to be because of the 1848 Revolution and a cholera epidemic in Paris that followed it which killed thousands. This idea of abstract concepts given human form had been popular during the Revolution, the big one, representing the kind of big virtues – like the Four Cardinal Virtues – that everyone could strive for, instead of a single human being whose actions and legacy would turn people against each other. Simultaneous with the creation of Place Saint-Michel, Napoleon III’s renovation brought the Boulevard Saint-Michel into being, and that is the next part of our walk. Facing the fountain with the river at your back, walk on Boulevard Saint-Michel, it’s the street to your left. Walk away from the river along that street. Ultimately, you’ll be turning left on Rue des Écoles, but it’ll be about five minutes to get there, and you can listen to the next track on the way. Boulevard Saint-Michel The character of the street you’re on – wide-open space lined with trees and long, harmonious buildings, plus, often, a view of some landmark in the distance – was a central part of the renovation plan, or the Haussmann plan, as it’s also known.

  • 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.

  • A Quick Tour of Paris 1
    A quick tour of Paris 1 A QUICK TOUR OF PARIS 12 – 17 April 2016 Text by John Biggs © 2016 Images by John Biggs and Catherine Tang © 2016 A quick tour of Paris 2 A QUICK TOUR OF PARIS 22 hours and four plane changes see us arrive at Charles De Gaulle Airport whacked out. We have booked on a river cruise down the Rhone but have taken a five day tour of Paris before joining the cruise. We are met by a girl from the Dominican Republic who came to Paris a year ago with no French and massive ambitions. Four jobs later she is fluent in French, has an excellent job in tourism and is seeking more worlds to conquer. She takes us to a large car with a taciturn driver who is to take us to our hotel but something funny is going on: we have been going for much longer than expected, we pass through the grimmest industrial parts of Paris in silence. At one major intersection, police cars and motor cycles, light flashing, sirens wailing, weave in and around us. We look uneasily at each other: this is the month of the bombings. But wailing police sirens is a sound that is as Parisian as the Eiffel Tower, we are to discover. After an hour and some we finally arrive at Hotel Duminy-Vendome in the centre of Paris and our driver turns out to have excellent English, which he now uses freely. I had been studying French on line with Duolingo to 52% fluency (try it if you want to learn a language, it’s fantastic) but that doesn’t seem much use here.

  • La Salle Richelieu Service Éducatif De La Comédie-Française Entre Tradition Et Modernité
    Fiche pédagogique LA SALLE RICHELIEU SERVICE ÉDUCATIF DE LA COMÉDIE-FRANÇAISE ENTRE TRADITION ET MODERNITÉ Salle Richelieu © Cosimo Mirco Magliocca, coll. Comédie-Française La salle n’était pas éclairée. Les théâtres sont obscurs le jour et ne s’illuminent que la nuit. Le soir est leur aurore et la lumière ne leur vient que lorsqu’elle s’éteint au ciel. Ce renversement s’accorde avec leur vie factice. Pendant que la réalité travaille, la fiction dort. Théophile GAUTIER, Histoire du romantisme, « première représentation d’Hernani » Fiche pédagogique LA SALLE RICHELIEU SERVICE ÉDUCATIF DE LA COMÉDIE-FRANÇAISE ENTRE TRADITION ET MODERNITÉ 1 LA RÉVOLUTION DU THÉÂTRE À LA RENAISSANCE L’histoire du théâtre se confond avec une histoire des lieux de représentation. De l’amphithéâtre antique aux tréteaux dressés sur une place publique ou un parvis d’église au Moyen Âge, des salles de palais princiers aux édifices spécifiques, les lieux sont occupés et les espaces aménagés pour assembler, montrer et divertir. La salle « à l’italienne » est un de ces lieux particuliers qui « naît » dans l’Italie de la Renaissance. À cette période, on redécouvre Vitruve, un architecte romain du premier siècle avant Jésus-Christ. On peint les premiers décors en perspective comme le fait Baldassare Peruzzi pour La calandria, comédie du cardinal Bibbiena donnée devant le pape Léon X en 1514, au château Saint-Ange, à Rome. Et on se passionne pour les travaux de Sebastiano Serlio et son traité sur l’architecture. Établissant un lien entre le théâtre antique – avec son amphithéâtre – et les découvertes techniques de son époque – avec sa scène en « perspective » le Théâtre olympique de Vicence, construit entre 1580 et 1584, est souvent considéré comme l’une des premières salles dites « à l’italienne ».
