  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Euro-Islam.Info -- Country Profiles
    Paris Euro-Islam.info -- Country profiles -- Country profiles Paris Esebian Publié le Saturday 8 March 2008 Modifié le Friday 11 July 2008 Fichier PDF créé le Saturday 12 July 2008 Euro-Islam.info Page 1/7 Paris Demographics In French administrative organization, Paris is a French department. The Ile-de-France region comprises eight departments, including Paris. The other departments in the region are Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne, Val-d'Oise Essonne, Yvelines and Seine-et-Marne (OSI 84). The Parisian suburbs make up the areas with the highest proportion of Muslims in France. According to a 1999 census, 1,611,008 immigrants live in the Ile-de-France region. Of this figure, 466,608 are from the Maghreb, 238,984 from Sub-Saharan Africa, and 50,125 from Turkey. These three groups of immigrant populations comprise nearly 50% of the immigration population in the Ile-de-France region. Accurate data on the large numbers of immigrant descendants and children are unavailable (OSI 84). The North-African population lives predominantly in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, Yvelines, and Val-de-Marne. Immigrants with Sub-Saharan origins mostly reside in the city center - in particular, the 18th, 19th, and 20th arrondissement and in three suburban cities: Bobigny in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, Vitry-sur-Seine in the Val de Marne department, and Cergy in the Val-d'Oise department (OSI 84-85). The arrival of the first waves of Muslim immigrants coincided with alterations of Parisian living conditions. While many arrived to shanty-towns on the city's limits, later housing often lacked running water, and sanitary facilities.
