PRESSPACK-2018-ORANGETOURISME.Compressed.Pdf ORANGE Orange is a Provencal city with 30 000 inhabitants, located in the Rhône Valley and close to the famous vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape. The city of Orange is ideally located, having a direct access to the highway A7 Lyon-Marseille and highway A9 Orange-Barcelona. It is also a commercial crossroad, developed at the creation of the Roman Empire. As a matter of fact, the “Via Agrippa” linking “Lugdunum” to “Arelate” crossed the roman city of Arausio. The national road 7 linking Paris to Menton partly follows the old pattern of the “Via Agrippa”, making Orange an essential step on the way to holi- days! Orange is a city full of surprises and experiences especially appreciated by visitors; it contains two monuments classified “world heritage site”. Come and see the Roman Theatre of Orange, a unique architectural masterpiece. You will also discover a generous Terroir, quality products and a welcoming population. The city of Princes offers an experience through time and culture. Discover the beauty of the historical center, its rich architecture and past. Orange heritage pro- vides the background to a host of activities and leaves space for the bustle of modern life. Through its shady squares and history-soaked streets, there is a mellow life-style waiting to be enjoyed. Orange should be savored, like the Cotes du Rhone wines our terroirs produce.

Orange’s Roman theatre, constructed at the beginning of the Christian era, owes its reputation to the exceptional condition of its backdrop wall. Life in the old town revolved around it. The superb acoustics and structure enabled an audience of 9000 to attend performances there. Its cultural function was forgotten after the chaotic 4th century, and it was built over as a housing area. But in the 19th century it finally returned to its original activity. The scene wall of the Roman Theatre is 103 meters long and 37 meters high, an impressive structure pro- tected by UNESCO’s world Heritage label. Its cultural function was forgotten after the chaotic 4th century, and it was built over as a housing area. But in the 19th century it finally returned to its original activity. In 1869, Orange re-launched the Open Air Theatre, attracting the biggest names in drama and opera. In 1971, the “New Chorégies” troupe won international fame for the theatre. Each year since then, the Theatre has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors during its summer season. The roman Theatre can be visited everyday with an audio guide which retraces the history of the city from the roman era to our days. The phantoms of the theatre: multimedia animation in four caves.

The original building, which was also used for meetings of the Principality’s general assemblies, would be considerably altered through the centuries. The different styles employed reflect the history of the Catholic Church in Orange. After being sacked by the Hugue- nots in 1561, it was restored early in the 17th Century following the original plan, similar to that of Saint Paul Trois Chateaux. Towards the end of the 18th Century, Orange’s last bishop, Monseigneur du Tillet, undertook its restora- tion and added to its furniture (stalls, main, altar, etc). Converted into a temple to the goddess of Reason during the Revolution, it was later returned to the Church. In the 19th Century, it was decorated with fres- cos and stained-glass windows, and the eastern porch was reconstructed in the neo-gothic style.

  • Anneke Jans' Maternal Grandfather and Great Grandfather
    Anneke Jans’ Maternal Grandfather and Great Grandfather By RICIGS member, Gene Eiklor I have been writing a book about my father’s ancestors. Anneke Jans is my 10th Great Grandmother, the “Matriarch of New Amsterdam.” I am including part of her story as an Appendix to my book. If it proves out, Anneke Jans would be the granddaughter of Willem I “The Silent” who started the process of making the Netherlands into a republic. Since the records and info about Willem I are in the hands of the royals and government (the Royals are buried at Delft under the tomb of Willem I) I took it upon myself to send the Appendix to Leiden University at Leiden. Leiden University was started by Willem I. An interesting fact is that descendants of Anneke have initiated a number of unsuccessful attempts to recapture Anneke’s land on which Trinity Church in New York is located. In Chapter 2 – Dutch Settlement, page 29, Anneke Jans’ mother was listed as Tryntje (Catherine) Jonas. Each were identified as my father’s ninth and tenth Great Grandmothers, respectively. Since completion of that and succeeding chapters I learned from material shared by cousin Betty Jean Leatherwood that Tryntje’s husband had been identified. From this there is a tentative identification of Anneke’s Grandfather and Great Grandfather. The analysis, the compilation and the writings on these finds were done by John Reynolds Totten. They were reported in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Volume LVI, No. 3, July 1925i and Volume LVII, No. 1, January 1926ii Anneke is often named as the Matriarch of New Amsterdam.

I have spent much of my academic life exploring Huguenot settlement in Britain in the later Stuart period, but have never before been challenged to focus on the specific aspect of Huguenots in relation to English sea port towns. For the purposes of this paper, we can define the Huguenots as French‑speaking Protestants, or more precisely Calvinists, who were fleeing from the France ruled by King Louis XIV from 1661 – when he took up the reins of personal rule – to his death in 1715. A few also came from the Protestant Principality of Orange, which Louis invaded and overran. Two dates stand out as of particular significance in causing Huguenot migration from France in this period. The first was 1681, which saw the onset of the dragonnades, the deliberate billeting of soldiers on Protestant households to force their conversion to Roman Catholicism. The second was the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.

  • English Attitudes Toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs C.1680-1740
    English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 By Sugiko Nishikawa A Dissertation for the degree of Ph. D. in the University of London 1998 B CL LO\D0 UNIV Abstract Title: English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 Author: Sugiko Nishikawa It has long been accepted that the Catholic threat posed by Louis X1V played an important role in English politics from the late seventeenth century onwards. The expansionist politics of Louis and his attempts to eliminate Protestants within his sphere of influence enhanced the sense of a general crisis of Protestantism in Europe. Moreover news of the persecution of foreign Protestants stimulated a great deal of anti-popish sentiment as well as a sense of the need for Protestant solidarity. The purpose of my studies is to explore how the English perceived the persecution of continental Protestants and to analyse what it meant for the English to be involved in various relief programmes for them from c. 1680 to 1740. Accordingly, I have examined the church briefs which were issued to raise contributions for the relief of continental Protestants, and which serve as evidence of Protestant internationalism against the perceived Catholic threat of the day. I have considered the spectrum of views concerning continental Protestants within the Church; in some attitudes evinced by clergymen, there was an element which might be called ecclesiastical imperialism rather than internationalism. At the same time I have examined laymen's attitudes; this investigation of the activities of the SPCK, one of the most influential voluntary societies of the day, which was closely concerned with continental Protestants, fulfills this purpose.

  • A Faure Genealogy: Book 7 (Of 8): Antoine Faure's Story
    A FAURE GENEALOGY: BOOK 7 (OF 8): ANTOINE FAURE’S STORY (1685-1736) by Anthony Gerard FAURE (1926-) THIS BOOK 7 IS PRESENTLY (22.01.2015) BEING REWRITTEN This is Book 6 of a series of 8 e-books on a branch of the FAURE family: 1. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 1: History and 3 Generations after Antoine FAURE (1685-1736). 2. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 2: Descendants of Dr Abraham FAURE (1795-1875). 3. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 3: Descendants of Johannes Gysbertus FAURE (1796-1869). 4. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 4: Descendants of Jacobus Christiaan FAURE (1798-1876). 5. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 5: Descendants of Pieter Hendrik FAURE (1800-1862). 6. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 6: Descendants of Philip Eduard FAURE (1811-1882). 7. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 7: The Story of Antoine FAURE (1685-1736). 8. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 8: Appendices. The reason the information is provided in 8 e-books is that the information is voluminous. We have split the actual family tree into Books 1-6. Book 7 is a beautiful and poignant reconstruction of the lives of Pierre (1636-c1703), and Antoine (1685-1736) who arrived in Cape Town in 1714, as well as the political milieu of the times (offered in the Appendices). It was written by Dr AG (Tony) Faure (1926-) over a number of years, completed in 2012, and revised in 2014. One of the benefits of genealogical research is that it brings one into contact with family members not met before.

His artistic career saw him produce paintings of portraits, still-life and landscapes as well as being a lithographer. He undertook his artistic training in Paris under the instruction of the painter and sculptor Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran and exhibited his first work, a self portrait, at the Paris Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1887. He remained in Paris until his marriage in 1911 and at one time shared a studio there with John Singer Sargent with whom he was very friendly. Other influential people from the art and literary world whom he could call friends included Renoir, Emile Zola, Oscar Wilde and Toulouse-Lautrec. In fact, one of the latter’s models, Lilli, became de Belleroche’s lover for over ten years and when Albert eventually married Julie Visseaux, who was seventeen years his junior, the reason that the newly weds left Paris was because Lilli threatened to destroy their marriage. Until that situation arose however, he continued to exhibit at Parisian institutions until 1932, living and working at addresses in Rue d’Amsterdam and Rue de Bruxelles. Exhibition venues also included Le Salon des Artistes Français – where he received an honourable mention in 1890 – Le Salon des Indépendants and Le Salon d’Automne.
