It is ideally located to explore the varied neighbourhoods of Paris. The Canal St Martin with its locks and footbridges, was built by order of Napoleon I to supply Paris with water. This is one of the oldest parts of Paris well known in black & white films and postcards of yesterday. After some years in the shadows the area has made a real comeback as one of Paris’ most up and coming areas. It has fast become a ‘bobo’ (bohemian-bourgeois) neighbourhood thanks to the trendy, alternative cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques which line Canal Saint Martin. Made famous by the film ‘Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulin’, it’s a wonderful spot during the summer, where one can laze by the canal with friends and watch the ‘très cool’ Parisians stroll by. It’s also closed off to traffic at the weekends - perfect for joggers and cyclists! The monument of a woman which stands at Place de la Republique was commissioned in the late 19th century as a symbol to the glory of the French Republique. Surrounding her are the virtues which are the backbone of French society: Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité - Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood.

    John Doe Paris Itinerary|2014 Thursday August 21 7:30am – Arrive at airport Welcome to France! You can count on arriving at your hotel about 2 hours after your plane is set to land. 9:30am – Arrive at Paris hotel Concorde Opera Paris 108 Rue Saint Lazare 01 40 08 44 44 Below is a map of your hotel and surrounding areas. Your closest metro stops are St-Lazare (lines 3, 12, 13, 14) and Havre Caumartin (lines 3, 9)… in terms of public transport, you’re really lucky! Note that St-Lazare is a very large metro stop though since it is also a regular train station. You’re closest to exits 2 (Place du Havre) and 8 (rue d’Amsterdam). It’s a good idea as you’re walking around your neighborhood to mark directly on the map your closest pharmacy, bakery, and grocery store. Points of interest in your neighborhood are shopping on Bd Haussmann (Printemps, Galeries Lafayette), Opera Garnier, Madeline, and churches Expiatoire (fabulous on the inside) and Trinité Estienne d’Orves.

Medieval folks referred to it as Montmartre, or “Hill of Martyrs”, after legend stated that their patron saint tucked his decapitated head under his arm and walked from this hill to a more comfortable resting place north of Paris. In more modern times the village of Montmartre at Paris’ highest point, is best known for many painters who frequented its sidewalk cafés. Living and breathing their art and often trading it for a hot meal. Montmartre attracted such great artists as Picasso, Modgliani, Renoir, Manet, Toulouse Lautrec and Van Gogh.

The narrow cobble stoned streets are still home to painters capitalizing on the artists whose space they have taken on the Place du Tertre.

  • The French Experience of Counter-Terrorism 67 the French Experience Of
    The French Experience of Counter-terrorism 67 The French Experience of Counter-terrorism ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Jeremy Shapiro and Bénédicte Suzan On the evening of 3 October 1980, a motorbike was parked outside the synagogue on the Rue Copernic in an upscale section of Paris. Several minutes later a bomb packed into the motorbike’s saddlebags exploded, killing four passers-by and wounding 11. It was the sixth and most serious attack on a Jewish target within a week. The bombing sparked a protest rally in Paris against anti-Semitism and intensified debate about the influence of the neo-Nazi movement in France, which the authorities blamed for the wave of attacks. In fact, as the investigation would reveal in the coming weeks, Middle Eastern terrorists had perpetrated the wave of bombings. The attack at Rue Copernic was eventually seen as the opening salvo in a long campaign by foreign terrorists whose purpose was to influence French policy in the Middle East.1 None of the various French intelligence and police agencies had given any warning that such attacks were imminent or even possible. They were, moreover, unable to immediately identify the attacks as coming from foreign terrorists, despite the perpetrators wanting them to know. Nearly 20 years later, on 14 December 1999, an Algerian named Ahmed Ressam was arrested on the US–Canadian border with a trunk full of explosives intended for use in an attack on the Los Angeles International Airport. Ressam grew up in Algeria, resided in Canada and plotted attacks against the United States, but despite having few French connections, French authorities knew who Ressam was and what he intended.
