Who has understood this wonderful ? The re city have been hundreds to try. Mirabeau said , “ ” S hinx Paris is a p , but I will drag her secret from her , - and to day Mirabeau is little more than a name, and the al o f capit his country retains its secret undivulged . Surely so o r no city has ever boasted many lovers , fostered o r o r set higher ideals , achieved greater accomplishments , o r a standard to so many countries , made such important o o r experiments in social , p litical, and religious life, mingled so much success with failure . Paris has practised o f e o f every art living, has drunk deep of the win life, has been a law to itself and a light to the Western world , is a country within a country, unconquerable even in o i defeat . It is a city in which the art f l ving seems t o b e a all m stered by classes . Paris sounds the highest note 2 S O UV E N I R O F P AR I S o f o f extravagance , the lowest note happy economy ; it t o f o f shel ers every form faith and the negation faith , i v e r eve virtue and every v ce . E y art finds stimulus i i s o f w th n its boundarie and so great is the power Paris , t it c tha can draw tribute from all the ivilised world . ' o f e no t The wealthy people every country, G rmany to d r o f excepted , must go to Paris , bow to the ec ees t o its fashions, to subscribe to its varied extravagances , o r be in the movement as long as health money lasts . o ne As soon as visitor leaves , his place is taken by another ; o ne o f as soon as fortune is spent , another source wealth la m is waiting to be tapped . The life de e is dear o en ugh in London , but in Paris is dearer still . Only in Paris has the writer visited restaurants where the menu se t o ut is with no price attached, the bill being merely ’ ’ an expression o f the management s view o f the patron s standing and his right to partake o f what the house t o ff This o f has o er. is but a single aspect Parisian see magnificence ; you others in the Bois , you see others at tou t P a ris the Race Meetings to which adjourns , you may be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse o f others in the ’ u wonderf l private palaces that house the city s wealthiest. The re is little ostentation only the half world descends “ ” to w Off o f what children call sho ing , and the gaiety al Paris is a thing with which money has but sm l concern . t t o The city has se herself deliberately enjoy life , and whether you have ten halfpence o r ten shillings or ten ’ ’ pounds to Spend o n an evening s amusement o r a day s is fo r idleness, there ample value the money , the satis A G R E AT C I TY 3 factory fee ling that the money is well spent . Rich an d and poor are catered for abundantly, a multitude o f cafés enables the Parisian to survey Paris from count f less points o vantage. Add to this that the city has an invigorating air , splendid open places , innumerable monu o f o ments , a finely arranged plan main streets , a t lerable o f i l direction , a sense humour, the w l to enjoy the move ment , a great history, a glorious past , a bright future, and it is possible to understand why the French capital ’ o f appeals to all classes the world s populace , from kings to commercial travellers . To the visitor from Great Britain the two most notice able features o f Parisian life are the comparative absence o f o f time limits , and the consequent privilege eating when o ne is hungry and drinking when o ne is thirsty - - at almost any hour in the twenty four, and the well nigh f o universal habit o living u t o f doors . The restaurant provides for everybody , and consequently everybody goes o f o n o to the restaurant , and , in spite the duties fo d , it is as cheap to eat in public as in private, and far more . Y o u o r cheerful can dine for a shilling in Paris, spend ten o n pounds a dinner for two or three people , and in either case there will be people at the next table doing the same thing. The grand boulevards are crowded with cafés ; yo u can sit as long as you like over a cup o f coffee o r a bock at an o ne o f y them , and read in the open air the halfpenny so o f evening papers that are full humour and invective. This o is the more pleasant , because the air f Paris is so d stimulating , and everybo y takes a certain amount of 4 S O UV E N I R O F P A R I S o n interest in everything that is going . No incident is t o o large o r t o o small to arrest the attention for a moment o f The secularised Sunday is a time great rejoicing, when every haunt o r home o f pleasure in and round the n in capital is thro ged , and before you have been long Paris the city has asserte d her claim t o be regarded as a country, quite removed in thought and in action from r the industrious France that surrounds her on eve y side . Her opinions , her movements, her whims and fancies sh e assume an enormous importance ; is , in a sense , the clock by which Western civilisation regulates its o wn n timekeepers . In many respects , hard to define but o t ffi di cult to realise, Paris is unlike any other European she n - co nfide nce capital ; has more i itiative , more self , and o wn o f more independence . She sets up her standard as living, and all who flock to her accept her decisions final. a u She m kes history , and , if she were once again nder a ’ sh e conqueror s heel, would rise in her Splendour to confound her conquerors . Nobody knows this truth better than the Parisian ; it colours his View o f life and gives him his abiding measure o f content . He lives o f in receipt homage , his fathers and forefathers did the same ; he stands o n heights from which he can survey critically every capital o f the world beneath him . Small wonder then that there is a large proportion o f gaiety in - n o his life, that he has self relia ce and c nfidence and faith in Paris and hi mself. ’ We cannot rival the Parisian s local patriotism . When f o a Londoner praises the beauty o London , his fell w A G R E A T C I TY 5 The m a citizens are a little surprised .

  • The Death of the City and the Survival of Urban Life Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona 2004 Conference Lectured at the Symposium “Urban Traumas
    www.urban.cccb.org Richard Ingersoll The Death of the City and the Survival of Urban Life Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona 2004 Conference lectured at the symposium “Urban Traumas. The City and Disasters”. CCCB, 7-11 July 2004 Strolling through the cemetery of Montparnasse in Paris, I fantasize a poker game with an ideal community of the defunct that includes Marguerite Duras, Charles Baudelaire, Delphine Seyrig, and Samuel Beckett. Their modest burial markers rest alongside the ornate aedicules of the proud and powerful, belle époque generals and financiers. Looking around at the densely packed lanes lined with tombs, there seems to be no room left. The necropolis is so crowded that for a moment I have the infantile notion that no one else will be allowed to die. The Montparnasse cemetery is right in the midst of one of the busiest parts of the Left Bank, and to enter is to escape from the tedium of daily life, a place to contemplate the life of the past. In the background rises the immense black, glass-clad tower of Montparnasse, a soaring catacomb for modern offices. Life goes on in the city, overlooking the cemetery, but, as I will try to show, it was never the city itself that was alive. In fact I am often convinced while visiting cemeteries that the only reason the city became a place is because someone died there. René Girard in his theory of the scapegoat suggests that architecture began with stones used to lapidate a victim. «In the end», says Girard, «the tomb is the first and only cultural symbol».

    Angkor Redux: Colonial Exhibitions in France Dawn Rooney offers tantalising glimpses of late 19th-early 20th century exhibitions that brought the glory of Angkor to Europe. “I saw it first at the Paris Exhibition of 1931, a pavilion built of concrete treated to look like weathered stone.

[email protected] ANDRÉ DERAIN 1880 – 1954 FROM FAUVISM TO CLASSICISM January 24 – February 21, 2020 WHEN THE FAUVES... SOME MEMORIES BY ANDRÉ DERAIN At the end of July 1895, carrying a drawing prize and the first prize for natural science, I left Chaptal College with no regrets, leaving behind the reputation of a bad student, lazy and disorderly. Having been a brilliant pupil of the Fathers of the Holy Cross, I had never got used to lay education. The teachers, the caretakers, the students all left me with memories which remained more bitter than the worst moments of my military service. The son of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam was in my class. His mother, a very modest and retiring lady in black, waited for him at the end of the day. I had another friend in that sinister place, Linaret. We were the favourites of M. Milhaud, the drawing master, who considered each of us as good as the other. We used to mark our classmates’s drawings and stayed behind a few minutes in the drawing class to put away the casts and the easels. This brought us together in a stronger friendship than students normally enjoy at that sort of school. I left Chaptal and went into an establishment which, by hasty and rarely effective methods, prepared students for the great technical colleges. It was an odd class there, a lot of colonials and architects.

  • Limonaire Frères Paris, 1839 — 1936*
    Carousel Organ , Issue No. 26 — January, 2006 Limonaire Frères Paris, 1839 — 1936* Andrea Stadler “Limonaire” is without any doubt the most famous name in the field of mechanical music. In 1906 it became (accord- ing to “le petit Robert de la langue française,” ed. 1986) a standardized name to be found in French dictionaries, gen- erally as a synonym for a carousel organ. There are several instruments bearing the name Limonaire found in muse- ums or in public or private collections, about which there is technical documentation. On the other hand, we knew almost nothing about “les Frères Limonaire” and the history of the firm, until a German university student, Andrea Stadler, took the time during the preparation of her doctorate, to do extensive research in the archives of the Records Office, commercial and notarial records, and elsewhere. Most of the private documents of the Limonaire family have disappeared. She also had the chance to interview some rare descendants of the family. She has given us the honour to publish in the Carousel Organ , for the first time in English, some parts of the results of her investigation. Philippe Rouillé First part: 1839-1886 The different establishments “Limonaire Frères” When examining the history of the “Limonaire Frères,” one finds that this firm has existed twice under this name in the history of musical instruments. The Bottin , a French commer- cial directory, mentions them from 1839 to 1841 and again from 1887 till 1920. After 1920, the Sociétés succeeding the Limonaire brothers took over a major part of the famous organ builders.

  • Le Palais Du Luxembourg Sous Les Deux Empires
    Le Palais du Luxembourg sous les deux Empires Direction de la Bibliothèque et des Archives Division des Archives Décembre 2019 Couverture : Auguste COUDER, Installation du Conseil d'État au palais du Petit-Luxembourg, le 25 décembre 1799 , huile sur toile, 1856. Photo © RMN-Grand Palais (Château de Versailles) / Hervé Lewandowski. Le peintre figure les trois consuls recevant, dans un des salons de Boffrand du Petit-Luxembourg, les serments des présidents de section du Conseil d’État. On peut apercevoir, par la fenêtre de gauche, l’aile Ouest du palais, et par la fenêtre de droite, la chartreuse. Ce dossier a été réalisé par Xavier LACROIX, qui prépare une thèse d’Histoire à Sorbonne Université sous la direction d’Éric ANCEAU. Stagiaire à la division des Archives du Sénat, il a rédigé cette brochure avec le concours de celle-ci. 2 Une visite du palais du Luxembourg sous les Napoléonides De l’envol à la chute de l’Aigle, le Palais du Luxembourg est lié au destin de Napoléon. Foyer, au seuil de l’année 1800, de la conjuration qui permit au général Bonaparte de clore la Révolution, le Luxembourg fut aussi son logis – et celui de Joséphine – durant les premiers mois du Consulat. On y rédigea, de surcroît, la Constitution de l’an VIII. Indissociablement lié à la geste napoléonienne, le Luxembourg subit profondément l’empreinte politique et réformatrice d’un régime dont il accueillit le Sénat, première chambre haute de l’histoire de France. À cette occasion, il fut restauré et adapté à la fonction de palais législatif, doté d’un nouvel et magistral escalier ainsi que d’un premier hémicycle.

Le projet comprend : - le noyau Nord, autour du stade de France jusqu’à la porte de la Chapelle ; - le noyau Ouest, autour du bois de Boulogne tout en étant ancré sur les sites sportifs de la porte de Saint Cloud ; - à cela s’ajoutent un nombre limité de sites de compétition « hors noyaux » en région Ile de France et en province, en particulier pour les épreuves de football, ainsi que 2 sites dans le centre de Paris (Tour Eiffel et POPB). Sur chaque site, le projet s’efforce de combiner deux objectifs : permettre aux jeux de se dérouler dans les meilleures conditions pour les sportifs, les visiteurs et les spectateurs ; mais également apporter en héritage le plus de réalisations et d’embellissements pour les sites et leurs habitants.
