  • 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.

Pont Neuf Wrapped by Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Art of Aesthetics Cassandra Jones Art 525: Art History Seminar June 15, 2015 Jones 2 As one of the most exciting art movements of our time, environmental art celebrates our connection to the natural world through beauty, science, and metaphor. The Le Pont Neuf Wrapped, 1985, by Christo and Jeanne-Claude expresses the points inherent to this movement, combining an engagement between performance and environmental art. These artists interpose within a chosen environment, and in doing so, cause us to identify with that environment in a new way. Wrapping the Pont-Neuf continued this tradition of successive transfiguration through a new sculptural dimension, transforming it into a work of art. The visual effect of Le Pont Neuf Wrapped intervened into the natural state of the bridge. The wrapping process reveals symmetrical shapes and angles that epitomize the very idea of what constitutes a bridge, connecting geographical units and people.

  • 5 the Tower… Made of Iron and Rivets
    FOLLOW GUS! Children’s tour of the Eiffel Tower – Pedagogical file 5 The Tower… made of iron and rivets Industrialization During the 19th century progress made in the world of metallurgy brought along industrial development. Manufacturing iron and steel enabled to build railways (railway tracks and engines), factories, stations, bridges, markets, department stores. From the second half of this century, engineers such as Eiffel became very knowledgeable in the use of metallic frameworks and structures that are lighter than stone or concrete. 1803: Construction of the Pont des Arts in Paris, in cast iron. 1853: Construction of the Paris covered market with a metallic structure that adds beauty to the building. The Pompey factory An iron Tower The Eiffel Tower is made of puddled iron. This type of iron is obtained by mixing liquid hot iron and the result is iron of a fibrous texture obtained through the dissociation of carbon and impurities from the cristallographic structure. Hammering and rolling complete the preparation of this highly resistant iron. All of these operations were carried out in factories set up near the iron mines, especially in the Lorraine region. The project is accurate to the millimetre In Eiffel’s workshops, some twenty engineers and thirty designers made 5,329 drawings that enabled about one hundred workers to assemble the various metallic parts in the workshops located in Levallois-Peret (West of Paris) as early as June 1887. These metallic parts measured between just a few millimetres for the rivets and various metres for the puddled iron beams manufactured in the steelworks of Pompey, in the Lorraine department.

  • Wandeling Langs De Seine
    Wandeling langs de Seine Van Pont de la Concorde tot Pont Neuf Deze wandeling loopt door het 1e, 6e en 7e arrondissement Begin: Metro Concorde Eind: Metro Pont Neuf Afstand: 4 km Duur: 1,5 - 2 uur De achthoekige place de la Concorde is een immens plein vol verkeer. Het is haast onmogelijk over te steken, maar je kunt er ook omheen lopen. Het plein is een prachtig punt met indrukwekkende gebouwen eromheen. De Champs-Elysées komt erop uit aan de westkant, aan de andere kant ligt de Jardin des Tuileries met het Jeu de Paume en de Orangerie. Aan de noordkant staan twee prachtige gebouwen, het peperdure Hôtel Crillon en het ministerie van Marine, beide gebouwd door architect Gabriel. Ten zuiden van het plein stroomt de Seine met de Pont de la Concorde. Het plein werd aangelegd in 1775 als place Louis-XV, maar in 1792 werd het stand- beeld van die koning neergehaald en werd het plein herdoopt in place de la Révolu- tion. Een jaar later werd er een guillotine opgesteld en binnen korte tijd werden hier ruim 1300 mensen een kopje kleiner gemaakt. Na de Revolutie werd het plein place de la Concorde (plein van de Eendracht) gen- oemd. In het midden verrees een obelisk uit Luxor, een geschenk van Egypte. In de acht hoeken van het plein staan beelden van de Franse steden Brest, Rouen, Lille, Straatsburg, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux en Nantes. Steek de Seine over via de Pont de la Concorde, voor een deel gebouwd met stenen van de verwoeste Bastille. din des Tuileries.

The jardins du Trocadéro (Gardens of the Trocadero) The gardens were created for the universal exhibition of 1878. Jean-Charles Alphand (structural engineer who worked a lot for Paris embellishment) staged waterfalls, plants, rocks and small paths. They were restructured in 1937 at the same time as the palais de Chaillot. The gardens slope gently down to the Seine with a stunning view over the Eiffel Tower. Numerous sculptures dating back to the 1930s punctuate the setting. They are so many stone and bronze women, men, gods, animals...
