  • Promenade Dans Le Parc Monceau
    Page : 1 sur 16 Promenade dans le parc Monceau HISTORIQUE Le parc Monceau est ainsi appelé du nom du village de Monceau situé en périphérie proche de Paris. Ce village existait du temps de Charles Le Chauve. Ce village est simplement entré dans l’histoire à l’époque du duc de Chartres (1747-1793) futur duc d’Orléans 1785, père de Louis-Philippe, et connu aussi sous le titre de Philippe Egalité achète en 1769 la terre de Monceau au lendemain de son mariage avec la princesse de Penthièvre. Il achète le terrain (un hectare) en 1769 à Louis Colignon et lui confie en tant qu’architecte un pavillon octogonal, à deux étages, achevé en 1773. Par la suite furent ajoutées quatre galeries en étoile, qui prolongeaient au rez-de- Le Parc Monceau Page : 2 sur 16 chaussée quatre des pans, mais l'ensemble garda son unité. Colignon dessine aussi un jardin à la française c’est à dire arrangé de façon régulière et géométrique. Puis, entre 1773 et 1779, le prince décida d’en faire construire un autre plus vaste, dans le goût du jour, celui des jardins «anglo-chinois» qui se multipliaient à la fin du XVIIIe siècle dans la région parisienne notamment à Bagatelle, Ermenonville, au Désert de Retz, à Tivoli, et à Versailles. Le duc confie les plans à Louis Carrogis dit Carmontelle (1717-1806). Ce dernier ingénieur, topographe, écrivain, célèbre peintre et surtout portraitiste et organisateur de fêtes, décide d'aménager un jardin d'un genre nouveau, "réunissant en un seul Jardin tous les temps et tous les lieux ", un jardin pittoresque selon sa propre formule.

  • Syllabus Paris
    Institut de Langue et de Culture Française Spring Semester 2017 Paris, World Arts Capital PE Perrier de La Bâthie / [email protected] Paris, World Capital of Arts and Architecture From the 17th through the 20th centuries Since the reign of Louis XIV until the mid-20th century, Paris had held the role of World Capital of Arts. For three centuries, the City of Light was the place of the most audacious and innovative artistic advances, focusing on itself the attention of the whole world. This survey course offers students a wide panorama on the evolution of arts and architecture in France and more particularly in Paris, from the beginning of the 17th century to nowadays. The streets of the French capital still preserve the tracks of its glorious history through its buildings, its town planning and its great collections of painting, sculpture and decorative arts. As an incubator of modernity, Paris saw the rising of a new epoch governed – for better or worse – by faith in progress and reason. As literature and science, art participated in the transformations of society, being surely its more accurate reflection. Since the French Revolution, art have accompanied political and social changes, opened to the contestation of academic practice, and led to an artistic and architectural avant-garde driven to depict contemporary experience and to develop new representational means. Creators, by their plastic experiments and their creativity, give the definitive boost to a modern aesthetics and new references. After the trauma of both World War and the American economic and cultural new hegemony, appeared a new artistic order, where artists confronted with mass-consumer society, challenging an insane post-war modernity.

  • Enlightenment Walking Tour 4
    France and Paris were changed dramatically by the Enlightenment and ensuing French Revolution. Likewise, many of the monuments and buildings you’ll see on this walk were “reinvented” during the 18th century. The Panthéon, where this walk starts, began as a church sponsored by an absolute monarch and ended the century as a monument to the country’s most famous Enlightenment figures. The place de la Concorde, where the walk ends, saw one monarch celebrated with a statue and another executed on the same site. Saint-Sulpice and Saint- Thomas-d’Aquin were transformed from churches to secular “temples” and back to churches again. And the Palais du Luxembourg, Hôtel de Salm, and Palais Bourbon, homes at the beginning of the century to royalty and aristocrats, ended the century as homes to the country’s newly created democratic institutions. In addition to showcasing neoclassical buildings and monuments, the walk also provides an opportunity to wander through part of the Saint-Germain des Prés quarter, one of the city’s most lively and interesting neighborhoods. Start: Panthéon (Métro: Maubert Mutualité) Finish: Place de la Concorde (Métro: Concorde) Distance: 3 miles Time: 3 - 4 hours Best Days: Any day Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY Religion and Philosophy Politics and Economics The political and economic situation in 18th-century France provided fertile As the 18th century began, France’s monarchy and the Catholic church ground for Enlightenment philosophers (know as “philosophes”) who (known later collectively as the “ancien régime”) were at the apex of their believed that natural “scientific” laws could be applied to social, economic power and glory.

  • Hi, My Dear Silence-Keepers! Just Imagine: Your Fledgling Opened Its Mouth
    Djusubalieva 1 Jamby DJUSUBALIEVA Prose and poetry HELLO, MY DEAR SILENCE-KEEPERS! Hi, my dear silence-keepers! Just imagine: your fledgling opened its mouth. And asked Mitterand. And asked Yeltsin. What are they going to do with Central Asia, asked. He had just chirped so. Silence – it’s the most worthy thing in the world. Journalists!!! This writing machine, damn it, likes exclamation points. Thus, journalists didn’t yet understand. And sitting at home – is a worthy thing as well. You sit at home, make trifles, and it’s good. The most important thing: have a roof. And have tea under that roof. Hot tea! Give me a machine, more exclamation points, come on!!! You know well – I am telling the truth! So hard now in Russia without its own tea…you know that perfectly. You say always: Paris-Paris, write to us about Paris. You sinners, I know what you are expecting – exclamation point. And it is so hard for me. I am walking the long corridors of the metro, the cement and ads, the smoke towards me, low ceilings, tired eyes, the refined spirit of Chanel. … Here are two vagabond friends of the Parisian metro – spirit of unfiltered cigarettes and spirit of Chanel, the essence. Here are two friends, they live here, on cement stairs, they are older than my father. They have white grey beards. It’s a mystery for me – what are they talking about, these “aksakals” (Kyrg: white beard, wise men). The crowds and crowds pass by every second, every moment. In one hour our aksakals see more people than the Secretary General of the UN himself.
