Ce site appartient majoritairement au secteur dit de la « Loire moyenne » qui s’étend du Bec d’Allier à Angers, également nommé « Loire des îles ». Il regroupe les divers habitats naturels ligériens, véritables refuges pour la faune et la flore façonnés par la dynamique des deux cours d’eau, et constitue notamment une zone de reproduction, d'alimentation ou de passage pour un grand nombre d'espèces d’oiseaux nicheuses, migratrices ou hivernantes. Le patrimoine naturel d’intérêt européen Le lit mineur de la Loire et de l’Allier : La Loire et son principal affluent sont des cours d’eau puissants. Leur forte dynamique façonne une multitude d’habitats naturels possédant un grand intérêt écologique. Les grèves, bancs d’alluvions sableuses ou graveleuses, permettent le développement d’une végétation spécifique, adaptée à la sécheresse temporaire et à la submersion et constituent un lieu de vie et de reproduction important pour plusieurs espèces de libellules et certains oiseaux pour leur reproduction. La Sterne naine, la Sterne pierregarin et l’Oedicnème criard, nichent exclusivement sur les sols nus et graveleux des grèves ou des bancs d’alluvions formés au gré de ces cours d’eau.

  • Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic
    Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic By Celine L Maillard A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Douglas P Collins, Chair Maya A Smith Susan Gaylard Ana Fernandez Dobao Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of French and Italian Studies College of Arts and Sciences ©Copyright 2019 Céline L Maillard University of Washington Abstract Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic Celine L Maillard Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Douglas P Collins Department of French and Italian Studies This research investigates the rewriting of the nation in France during the Third Republic and the role played by primary schools in the process of identity formation. Le Tour de la France par deux enfants, a textbook written in 1877 by Augustine Fouillée, is our entry point to illustrate the strategies used in manufacturing French identity. We also analyze other texts: political speeches from the revolutionary era and from the Third Republic, as well as testimonies from both students and teachers written during the twentieth century. Bringing together close readings and research from various fields – history, linguistics, sociology, and philosophy – we use an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on language and national identity formation. Our findings underscore the connections between French primary education and national identity. Our analysis also contends that national identity in France during the Third Republic was an artificial construction and demonstrates how otherness was put in the service of populism.

  • The Demarcation Line
    No.7 “Remembrance and Citizenship” series THE DEMARCATION LINE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE General Secretariat for Administration DIRECTORATE OF MEMORY, HERITAGE AND ARCHIVES Musée de la Résistance Nationale - Champigny The demarcation line in Chalon. The line was marked out in a variety of ways, from sentry boxes… In compliance with the terms of the Franco-German Armistice Convention signed in Rethondes on 22 June 1940, Metropolitan France was divided up on 25 June to create two main zones on either side of an arbitrary abstract line that cut across départements, municipalities, fields and woods. The line was to undergo various modifications over time, dictated by the occupying power’s whims and requirements. Starting from the Spanish border near the municipality of Arnéguy in the département of Basses-Pyrénées (present-day Pyrénées-Atlantiques), the demarcation line continued via Mont-de-Marsan, Libourne, Confolens and Loches, making its way to the north of the département of Indre before turning east and crossing Vierzon, Saint-Amand- Montrond, Moulins, Charolles and Dole to end at the Swiss border near the municipality of Gex. The division created a German-occupied northern zone covering just over half the territory and a free zone to the south, commonly referred to as “zone nono” (for “non- occupied”), with Vichy as its “capital”. The Germans kept the entire Atlantic coast for themselves along with the main industrial regions. In addition, by enacting a whole series of measures designed to restrict movement of people, goods and postal traffic between the two zones, they provided themselves with a means of pressure they could exert at will.

  • The Loire Valley Digital Open Joint Syndicate Selects Tdf to Roll out and Operate Fiber in Rural Areas
    Press Release Montrouge, January 15, 2018 THE LOIRE VALLEY DIGITAL OPEN JOINT SYNDICATE SELECTS TDF TO ROLL OUT AND OPERATE FIBER IN RURAL AREAS The Syndicat Mixte Ouvert Val de Loire Numérique (Loire Valley Digital Open Joint Syndicate) recently selected TDF to roll out and operate optical fiber in French counties Indre-et-Loire and Loir-et-Cher. A big project covering 306,000 connections and 513 communities Following a tender lasting several months, TDF has won the contract to roll out, operate and market the fiber network of French counties Indre-et-Loire and Loir-et-Cher under a 25-year public service concession. The project runs over a five-year period, entails installing 306,000 connections serving 513 communities (excluding 'AMII' areas) and will provide ultra high-speed broadband for local inhabitants and businesses alike. The Loire Valley Digital Open Joint Syndicate's digital development project is challenging: under a total €490 million budget, which includes a state subsidy, by 2022 TDF is due to have installed an ultra high-speed fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network throughout the territory of the two counties involved. A game-changing project for the counties There is a lot at stake, namely bringing ultra high-speed internet to everyone's homes throughout the territory under terms promoting development of market-based services for both individuals and business. Both counties' Joint Syndicate seeks to make Indre-et-Loire and Loir-et-Cher more appealing to business, especially the tourism industry and foreign tourists who are attracted to the stunning cultural sights in the Loire Valley.

FOREWORD ASTEL IS IN ESSENCE powdered colour rubbed into paper without a liquid vehicle – a process succinctly described in 1760 by the French amateur engraver Claude-Henri Watelet (himself the subject of a portrait by La Tour): P Les crayons mis en poudre imitent les couleurs, Que dans un teint parfait offre l’éclat des fleurs. Sans pinceau le doigt seul place et fond chaque teinte; Le duvet du papier en conserve l’empreinte; Un crystal la défend; ainsi, de la beauté Le Pastel a l’éclat et la fragilité.1 It is at once line and colour – a sort of synthesis of the traditional opposition that had been debated vigorously by theoreticians such as Roger de Piles in the previous century.
