Grand Trianon The Grand Trianon is a unique architectural building which King Louis XIV used as a private residence where he could spend time with Madame de Maintenon. It was originally known as the ‘Marble Trianon’ on account of the pink marble panels which adorned the palace’s elegant façades. Petit Trianon The Petit Trianon, considered to be a neo-classical masterpiece was completed in 1768 for King Louis XV. This new royal residence was a symbol of the king’s passion for the botanical sciences: he was keen to have a home in the heart of the gardens to which he devoted so much of his time. Queen’s Hamlet The Queen’s Hamlet was a result of the queen’s fascination with the charms of rural life. Inspired by the traditional rustic architecture of Normandy, it includes a windmill and dairy, as well as a dining room, salon, billiard room and boudoir. Though it was reserved for the education of her children, Marie- Antoinette also used the hamlet for promenades and hosting guests. | 1 0 Palace of Versailles Complete Guide Gardens of Versailles Designed by André Le Nôtre by taming and levelling the surrounding woods and marshes, the Gardens at the Palace of Versailles are a testimony of French designing and detailing for centuries.

  • Versailles Et L'antique
    versailles et l’antique Exposition du 13 novembre 2012 au 17 mars 2013 Versailles fut une nouvelle Rome à plusieurs titres : par sa démesure, par son ambition de traverser les siècles, par les multiples références aux grands modèles de l’Antiquité. Au XVIIª siècle, l’Antiquité constitue un absolu indépassable, avec lequel les souverains les plus ambitieux ont voulu rivaliser : c’est pour renouer avec cette grandeur antique que Louis XIV a créé Versailles comme siège du pouvoir. L’antique, c’est d’abord un ensemble d’œuvres, de témoignages matériels et artistiques, de reliques d’une glorieuse civilisation disparue que tous les puissants du XVIIª siècle s’arrachent pour s’en approprier une parcelle. Plus que tous les autres souverains européens, Louis XIV a cherché à acquérir les pièces antiques les plus prestigieuses ou à les faire copier. Versailles en a été le sanctuaire : statues et bustes des grands appartements et des jardins, camées et médailles et petits bronzes du cabinet du roi. L’ensemble rassemblé à Versailles offre la vision d’une Antiquité recomposée pour la gloire du roi. L’exposition permettra le retour à Versailles d’environ une cinquantaine d’antiques qui y ont figuré sous l’Ancien Régime. L’interprétation de l’Antiquité et la mythologie antique seront évoquées par environ deux cents œuvres provenant des principales collections françaises et étrangères : sculptures, peintures, dessins, gravures, tapisseries, pièces de mobilier et objets d’art. À travers cette exposition, le public pourra découvrir l’influence de l’antique qui a touché tous les champs artistiques, ainsi que cette fascination des dieux et des héros de la mythologie et de l’histoire antique.

  • Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act
    The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back? Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act ERIC C. RUSNAK* The public lands of the United States have always provided the arena in which we Americans have struggled to fulfill our dreams. Even today dreams of wealth, adventure, and escape are still being acted out on these far flung lands. These lands and the dreams-fulfilled and unfulfilled-which they foster are a part of our national destiny. They belong to all Americans. 1 I. INTRODUCTION For some Americans, public lands are majestic territories for exploration, recreation, preservation, or study. Others depend on public lands as a source of income and livelihood. And while a number of Americans lack awareness regarding the opportunities to explore their public lands, all Americans attain benefits from these common properties. Public land affect all Americans. Because of the importance of these lands, heated debates inevitably arise regarding their use or nonuse. The United States Constitution grants to Congress the "[p]ower to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the... Property belonging to the United States." 2 Accordingly, Congress, the body representing the populace, determines the various uses of our public lands. While the Constitution purportedly bestows upon Congress sole discretion to manage public lands, the congressionally-enacted Antiquities Act conveys some of this power to the president, effectively giving rise to a concurrent power with Congress to govern public lands. On September 18, 1996, President William Jefferson Clinton issued Proclamation 69203 under the expansive powers granted to the president by the Antiquities Act4 ("the Act") establishing, in the State of Utah, the Grand * B.A., Wittenberg University, 2000; J.D., The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, 2003 (expected).

At Maison Rémy Martin shares with the Palace of Versailles an absolute Versailles, these stories combine into a veritable epic, considering respect of time, a spirit of openness and innovation, a willingness to that some of its trees have, from the tips of their leafy crowns, seen pass on its exceptional knowledge and respect for the environment the kings of France come and go, observed the Revolution, lived – all of which are values that connect it to the Admirable Trees of through two World Wars and witnessed the nation’s greatest dramas Versailles. and most joyous celebrations. Strolling from tree to tree is like walking through part of the history of France, encompassing the influence of Louis XIV, the experi- ments of Louis XV, the passion for hunting of Louis XVI, as well as the great maritime expeditions and the antics of Marie-Antoinette. It also calls to mind the unending renewal of these fragile giants, which can be toppled by a strong gust and need many years to grow back again.

    National winner Nt Young Historian Darcy Sorensen Casuarina senior college To what extent was Marquis de Lafayette, prior to 1834, responsible for social change? P a g e | 1 NATIONAL HISTORY CHALLENGE: MAKING A BETTER WORLD To what extent was Marquis de Lafayette, prior to 1834, responsible for positive social change? DARCY SORENSEN CASUARINA SENIOR COLLEGE Darwin, Northern Territory Word count: 1956 words P a g e | 2 Prior to 1834, Marquis de Lafayette was prominently responsible for positive social change. Given the title “hero of two worlds”1 Lafayette disobeyed the orders of Louis XXVI to fight for freedom in the American Revolution. Furthermore, influenced by the ideals of the American Revolution Lafayette worked to abolish slavery in America. In addition, with his position in the French National Assembly Lafayette helped install positive social change. Lafayette’s influence on positive social reforms was also present when he incessantly campaigned for the right to religious freedom in France. However, while his influence was predominantly positive, Lafayette’s influence on society plummeted with his involvement in the Champ De Mars Massacre. On “June 13th, 1777”2 Marquis de Lafayette disobeyed the French government and journeyed to America to fight in the American Revolution. By defying the orders of King Louis XVI Lafayette became one of the key individuals who ensured the freedom of America from Britain’s rule. A significant instance of Lafayette’s military prowess in the fight for freedom was at the Battle of the Brandywine beginning “September 11th, 1777”3. Despite being Lafayette’s first battle, and suffering a bullet wound to the leg, the Frenchman “gallantly fought on and rallied the troops, facilitating an orderly retreat”4 of the troops that saved many lives.

  • Dissecting Orpheus in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!
    Dissecting Orpheus in Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge! At the opening—and again at the closing—of Moulin Rouge!, Henri Toulouse- Lautrec sings “Nature Boy.” Dressed as the Magic Sitar in the fictional theater production of Spectacular! Spectacular!, he chants “The greatest thing you'll ever learn / Is just to love and to love in return.” These verses frame and emphasize the overarching theme of passionate love through the medium of music. That some form of personification of Love and Music lies at the heart of the Orpheus myth will be no surprise to classically trained reader. But what might be surprising is that in the publicity surrounding Moulin Rouge!, Baz Luhrmann insisted that this film was his expression of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Strong scholarly work on the classical allusions in Moulin Rouge! has already been begun, especially in detailing the counterpoints in allegory between both character and plot. My contribution to this subject, however, takes the analysis to a more abstract level. I argue that Luhrmann wanted not only to combine plot and character in order to create a new story, but that he used the idea of love emerging from music as an aesthetic theory in itself, emblematic for the very creative process of his original, cinematic production. This aesthetic philosophy and method creates a creative framework for the theme of rebirth in this ancient myth. I believe that Luhrmann was contemplating the Dionysiac ritual of sparagmos, central to the theory of drama and musical drama, as a working aesthetic for this film. This presentation will focus on musical composition of the film (rather than the static visual hybrids or the cinematic editing techniques), and in particular on duets sung between the Orpheus character Christian and the Eurydice character Satine.

  • Tours & Transp Or T
    With a combination of highly-frequented tourist areas and some hidden treasures, Paris is an accessible city, appreciated for its charm and pleasurable way of life. Easy to get around, the city has a user-friendly public transport infrastructure covering the whole of the capital, with an underground and bus network in constant development. A more unusual way to discover the city in style is to hire a chauffeured limousine or to have a very French tour of Paris in a 2CV, the famous Citroën convertible … Mixing transport with culture, many companies provide regular tours in Paris and in the Paris region. The River Seine constitutes an original route through Paris … and is certainly an excellent way to enjoy delightful views of the very heart of the city. Finally, incoming agencies are also an invaluable aid in helping to organize bespoke tours. They have specialist knowledge of the Paris destination and the specific characteristics of the nationalities visiting the French capital. Their expertise and resources enable them to organize all events, transport and programmes for individuals and/or groups as well as excursions, visits and other activities.
