Designed and built by Aérospatiale of France and the British Aviation Corporation, the graceful Concorde was a stunning technological achievement that could not overcome serious economic problems. In 1976 Air France and British Airways jointly inaugurated Concorde service to destinations around the globe. Carrying up to 100 passengers in great comfort, the Concorde catered to first class passengers for whom speed was critical. It could cross the Atlantic in fewer than four hours - half the time of a conventional jet airliner. However its high operating costs resulted in very high fares that limited the number of passengers who could afford to fly it. These problems and a shrinking market eventually forced the reduction of service until all Concordes were retired in 2003. In 1989, Air France signed a letter of agreement to donate a Concorde to the National Air and Space Museum upon the aircraft's retirement. On June 12, 2003, Air France honored that agreement, donating Concorde F-BVFA to the Museum upon the completion of its last flight. This aircraft was the first Air France Concorde to open service to Rio de Janeiro, Washington, D.C., and New York and had flown 17,824 hours. Gift of Air France.

Udvar-Hazy Center, the Museum's New Companion Facility at Dulles Airport: The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum welcomed today (Aug. 6) the sole surviving Boeing S-307 Stratoliner to its new home when the silver pioneering airliner arrived at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia for display at the museum's new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. The museum's companion facility, adjacent to the airport, opens to the public Dec. 15. The luxuriously appointed Stratoliner, built in the late 1930s, was the world's first passenger airplane to be pressurized, allowing it to avoid rough weather by flying at unprecedented altitudes (20,000 feet) for transports of the era. The airplane has been in the museum's collection since 1972 but because of its size and weight could not be displayed at the museum's flagship building on the National Mall. A team of volunteers and Boeing staff performed extensive restoration work on the airplane in Seattle. "Visitors to the Udvar-Hazy Center will take one look at this airplane and be transported back to a glamorous age when the world became smaller for the traveler who required speed and luxury," said Gen. J.R. "Jack" Dailey, director of the National Air and Space Museum. "We are indebted to the Boeing restoration team for turning back the clock on this beautiful aircraft." The Stratoliner arrived in Northern Virginia following an appearance at the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual Fly-In at Oshkosh, Wisc. The airplane flew from Allegheny County Airport near Pittsburgh, where it landed August 5th because of bad weather. With a wingspan of 107 feet and a cabin nearly 12 feet wide, the Clipper Flying Cloud will be exhibited at ground level in the Udvar-Hazy (pronounced OOD-var HAH-zee) Center aviation hangar. [...] The Clipper Flying Cloud was delivered to Pan American Airways with two others in 1940. The aircraft carried 33 passengers and a crew of five. The Pan American Airways airplane was reconfigured to seat 45 passengers. Stratoliners included space for berths for overnight travel; paneling in the cabin and lavatory; wall fabric featuring the Pan Am logo, world map and exotic animals; and eight divans. The Clipper Flying Cloud began service flying Caribbean routes for two years. During World War II, it flew in South America under the direction of the U.S. Army Air Forces. In 1946, it made daily runs between New York and Bermuda. Throughout the next two decades it passed through the hands of several owners, and once served as a presidential plane for the notorious Haitian leader "Papa Doc" Duvalier. After its Haitian sojourn, the Clipper Flying Cloud landed in Arizona. In 1969, a visiting National Air and Space Museum curator spotted the airplane in Arizona and immediately recognized its historic significance, even while its then-owner planned to convert it into a fire bomber. The Smithsonian subsequently acquired the aircraft and later made arrangements with the Boeing Company for the restoration, dubbed "Operation Flying Cloud," at the Seattle plant where the Stratoliner was originally built. Boeing technicians and former Pan American employees voluntarily spent six years completely restoring the Stratoliner before it made an emergency landing in Elliott Bay in 2002. Since then, the restoration team has performed additional work so that visitors to the Udvar-Hazy Center will have the opportunity to view the aircraft as it looked the day it rolled off the assembly line more than 60 years ago. • • • • • Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | De Havilland-Canada DHC-1A Chipmunk, Pennzoil Special: De Havilland originally designed the Chipmunk after World War II as a primary trainer to replace the venerable Tiger Moth. Among the tens of thousands of pilots who trained in or flew the Chipmunk for pleasure was veteran aerobatic and movie pilot Art Scholl. He flew his Pennzoil Special at air shows throughout the 1970s and early '80s, thrilling audiences with his skill and showmanship and proving that the design was a top-notch aerobatic aircraft. Art Scholl purchased the DHC-1A in 1968. He modified it to a single-seat airplane with a shorter wingspan and larger vertical fin and rudder, and made other changes to improve its performance. Scholl was a three-time member of the U.S. Aerobatic Team, an air racer, and a movie and television stunt pilot. At air shows, he often flew with his dog Aileron on his shoulder or taxied with him standing on the wing. Gift of the Estate of Arthur E. Scholl Manufacturer: De Havilland Canada Ltd.

The brightly lit metropolitan areas of Torino (Italy), Lyon, and Marseille (both in France) stand out amidst numerous smaller urban areas in this dramatic photograph. The image captures the night time appearance of the France-Italy border area between the mountainous Alps to the north (not shown) and the island of Corsica in the Ligurian Sea to the south (top). The full moon reflects brightly on the water surface and also illuminates the tops of low patchy clouds over the border (center). This image was taken by an ISS crew member at approximately 11:55 p.m. local time when the station was located over the France-Belgium border near Luxembourg. Crew members orbiting Earth frequently collect images that include sunglint, or sunlight that reflects off a water surface at such an angle that it travels directly back towards the observer. Sunglint typically lends a mirror-like appearance to the water surface. During clear sky conditions reflected light from the moon can produce the same effect (moon glint) as illustrated in this view. The observer was looking towards the southeast at an oblique viewing angle at the time the image was taken; in other words, looking outwards from the ISS, not straight down towards Earth.

Sobre o Instituto de França Institut de France, ou em português Instituto de França, é uma instituição académica francesa, fundada em Paris a 25 de Outubro de 1795, agrupando as cinco grandes academias nacionais francesas, entre as quais a prestigiosa Académie des Sciences, com quase 700 académicos franceses e estrangeiros recrutados de entre os intelectuais mais representativos de cada campo do saber. Cabe ao Institut de France administrar cerca de um milhar de fundações, bem como museus, castelos e palácios, a maioria aberta ao público. O Institut também atribui bolsas de investigação e prémios, sob recomendação das suas academias, que no ano de 2002 ultrapassaram os 5 000 000 de euros. A instituição é actualmente presidida por Gabriel de Broglie. O nome é também por vezes utilizado para referir o edifício onde a instituição está instalada, um dos mais marcantes de Paris, sito no endereço 23 quai Conti, no 6.º arrondissement de Paris. As academias incluídas no Institut de France são: a Académie Française, fundada em 1635; a Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, fundada em 1663; a Académie des Sciences, fundada em 1666; a Académie des Beaux-Arts, fundada em 1816; e a Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, fundada em 1795. O Institut de France tem na sua dependência quatro bibliotecas de investigação: * Bibliothèque Mazarine, em Paris * Bibliothèque de l'Institut, em Paris * Bibliothèque Thiers, em Paris * Bibliothèque du Musée Condé, em Chantilly A Revolução Francesa levou à supressão das academias reais que existiam à época, as quais foram substituídas, de acordo com o artigo 298.º da Constituição francesa de 1795, a Constituição do ano III por um Instituto nacional, que nos termos daquele artigo tinha por missão recolher as descobertas e aperfeiçoar as artes e as ciências (Há para toda a República um instituto nacional encarregue de recolher as descobertas e de aperfeiçoar as artes e as ciências). A lei orgânica que fixou a estrutura do Instituto foi publicada no dia 3 do Brumário do ano IV (10 de Outubro 1795), criando um Instituto nacional das ciências e das artes tendo como objectivo aperfeiçoar as ciências e as artes não interrompidas, a publicação das descobertas, a correspondência com as academias estrangeiras, o seguimento dos trabalhos científicos e literários que tenham por objecto a utilidade geral e a glória da República. Uma outra lei, datada do dia 15 do Germinal do ano IV (4 de Abril de 1796), regulamenta a nova instituição, fixando em detalhe as suas actividades (sessões de trabalho, sessões públicas e atribuição de prémios). O Institut de France foi então dividido em três classes: 1. Classe das ciências físicas e matemáticas, com dois presidentes, um para as ciências físicas e outro para as ciências matemáticas, organizado em 10 secções; 2. Classe das ciências morais e políticas, com 6 secções; 3. Classe de literatura e das belas-artes, com 8 secções. Quando a Classe das ciências morais e políticas pareceu demonstrar pouca lealdade ao novo regime do Consulado, foi suprimida por um aresto de cônsules, datado de 24 de Janeiro de 1803 (3 do Brumário do ano XI), o qual também dividiu a terceira Classe em três novas Classes, ficando o Institut com a seguinte composição: 1. Classe das Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas; 2. Classe da Língua e Literatura Francesa; 3. Classe das Línguas Clássicas e de História; 4. Classe das Belas-Artes. Em 1816, Louis XVIII, por intermédio do seu Ministro do Interior, Vincent-Marie Viénot de Vaublanc, conde de Vaublanc, reorganizou o Institut pelo seu decreto de 21 de Março de 1816, reorganização que também serviu de pretexto para excluir alguns dos membros da academia. Nesta reestruturação a designação de Academia é restaurada, passando a ser empregue para designar cada uma das classes. Surgem assim os nomes de Académie Française, Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-lettres e de Académie des Sciences, agora restabelecidas. A quarta das classes recebe o nome de Académie des Beaux-Arts. Ao restabelecer, por decreto de 26 de Outubro de 1832, a Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, Louis-Philippe dá ao Institut de France a sua configuração actual. O cardeal Jules Mazarin deixou em 1661 inscrita no seu testamento, e dotada com parte da sua enorme fortuna, a intenção de fundar um grande colégio onde pudessem ser recebidos pelo menos 60 gentis-homens oriundos das nações que tinham sido integradas nos domínios do rei de França pela Paz de Vestfália (1648) e pelo Tratado dos Pirenéus (1659), ou seja de Artois, da Alsácia, de Pignerol, do Roussillon e da Cerdanha). Por essa razão a instituição ficaria conhecida pelo nome "Collège des Quatre-Nations" (Colégio das Quatro Nações). Como testamenteiro, Jean-Baptiste Colbert encarregou o arquitecto Louis Le Vau de preparar o projecto do edifício, o qual deveria ser construído de forma a fazer face ao pátio quadrado do Louvre na outra margem do rio Sena. Concluído o projecto, a construção foi realizada entre 1662 e 1688. Em 1805, por ordem de Napoleão Bonaparte, o Institut de France foi instalado no edifício do Colégio, tendo então Antoine Vaudoyer recebido a incumbência de transformar a capela colegial em sala das sessões solenes das academias. O Institut de France e as academias nele integradas administram, entre muitos outros bens culturais, os seguintes: * Institut de France: o desde 1884 a Fundação d'Aumale: Schloss Chantilly com o seu domínio, o "Musée Condé" e o "Musée Vivant du Cheval" em Chantilly o desde 1904 a Fundação Siegfried: Castelo de Langeais em Langeais o desde 1905 a Fundação Dosne-Thiers: Hôtel particulier Dosne-Thiers e a sua biblioteca, Paris o desde 1912 a Fundação Jacquemart-André: Hôtel particulier Jacquemart-André e o Museu homónimo em Paris o desde 1912 a Fundação Jacquemart-André: abadia "Abbaye royale de Chaalis" e o seu domínio em Fontaine-Chaalis o desde 1919 a Fundação Edmond de Rothschild: Casa do Institut de France em Londres (destruída durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e desde 1952 a funcionar noutro imóvel) o desde 1928 a Fundação Astor: Solar e domínio de Kerazan em Loctudy o desde 1928 a Fundação Théodore Reinach: Villa Kerylos em Beaulieu-sur-Mer o desde 1997 a Fundação André Bussinger: Castelo de Braux-Sainte-Cohière em Braux-Sainte-Cohière * Académie française: o desde 1985 a Fundação Duque e Duquesa de Castries: Castelo de Castries em Castries (Hérault) * Académie des beaux-arts: o desde 1932 a Fundação Paul Marmottan: Musée Marmottan Monet em Paris e Bibliothèque Marmottan em Boulogne-Billancourt o desde 1934 a Fundação Ephrussi de Rothschild: Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild em Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat o desde 1966 a Fundação Claude Monet: Casa Claude Monet em Giverny * Académie des sciences: o desde 1897 a Fundação Antoine d'Abbadie: Castelo de Abbadie em Hendaye o desde 1992 a Fundação Haus Louis Pasteur: casa de Louis Pasteur em Arbois (Jura) Fonte: wikipedia Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by rbpdesigner - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - rbpdesigner Institut de France Tags: light   sunset   paris   slr   luz   night   canon   atardecer   lights   luces   frankreich   europa   europe   tramonto   nightshot   lumière   frança   pôrdosol   noturna   nocturna   noite   5d   luci   luzes   francia   nuit   nocturne   luce   parijs   lumières   anoitecer   parís   chantilly   nachtaufnahme   フランス   parigi   puestadelsol   institutdefrance   1635   coucherdusoleil   1666   1663   académiefrançaise   paryż   parys   巴黎   ヨーロッパ   1795   frenchinstitute   bibliothèquemazarine   pariis   parizo   académiedesinscriptionsetbelleslettres   académiedessciences   académiedesbeauxarts   académiedessciencesmoralesetpolitiques   velhomundo   collègedesquatrenations   bibliothèquethiers   bibliothèquedelinstitut   bibliothèquedumuséecondé   velhocontinente   pluridisciplinarité   6ºarrondissement   institutodefrança   23quaiconti   parlementdumondesavant   leparlementdessavants   theinstituteoffrance   parliamentofthelearned   colégiodasquatronações   edifíciodocolégio   administraçãodebensculturais   pluridisciplinarity   parîs    Paris, França.

Classe das ciências morais e políticas, com 6 secções; 3. Classe de literatura e das belas-artes, com 8 secções. Quando a Classe das ciências morais e políticas pareceu demonstrar pouca lealdade ao novo regime do Consulado, foi suprimida por um aresto de cônsules, datado de 24 de Janeiro de 1803 (3 do Brumário do ano XI), o qual também dividiu a terceira Classe em três novas Classes, ficando o Institut com a seguinte composição: 1. Classe das Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas; 2. Classe da Língua e Literatura Francesa; 3. Classe das Línguas Clássicas e de História; 4. Classe das Belas-Artes. Em 1816, Louis XVIII, por intermédio do seu Ministro do Interior, Vincent-Marie Viénot de Vaublanc, conde de Vaublanc, reorganizou o Institut pelo seu decreto de 21 de Março de 1816, reorganização que também serviu de pretexto para excluir alguns dos membros da academia. Nesta reestruturação a designação de Academia é restaurada, passando a ser empregue para designar cada uma das classes. Surgem assim os nomes de Académie Française, Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-lettres e de Académie des Sciences, agora restabelecidas. A quarta das classes recebe o nome de Académie des Beaux-Arts. Ao restabelecer, por decreto de 26 de Outubro de 1832, a Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, Louis-Philippe dá ao Institut de France a sua configuração actual. O cardeal Jules Mazarin deixou em 1661 inscrita no seu testamento, e dotada com parte da sua enorme fortuna, a intenção de fundar um grande colégio onde pudessem ser recebidos pelo menos 60 gentis-homens oriundos das nações que tinham sido integradas nos domínios do rei de França pela Paz de Vestfália (1648) e pelo Tratado dos Pirenéus (1659), ou seja de Artois, da Alsácia, de Pignerol, do Roussillon e da Cerdanha). Por essa razão a instituição ficaria conhecida pelo nome "Collège des Quatre-Nations" (Colégio das Quatro Nações). Como testamenteiro, Jean-Baptiste Colbert encarregou o arquitecto Louis Le Vau de preparar o projecto do edifício, o qual deveria ser construído de forma a fazer face ao pátio quadrado do Louvre na outra margem do rio Sena. Concluído o projecto, a construção foi realizada entre 1662 e 1688. Em 1805, por ordem de Napoleão Bonaparte, o Institut de France foi instalado no edifício do Colégio, tendo então Antoine Vaudoyer recebido a incumbência de transformar a capela colegial em sala das sessões solenes das academias. O Institut de France e as academias nele integradas administram, entre muitos outros bens culturais, os seguintes: * Institut de France: o desde 1884 a Fundação d'Aumale: Schloss Chantilly com o seu domínio, o "Musée Condé" e o "Musée Vivant du Cheval" em Chantilly o desde 1904 a Fundação Siegfried: Castelo de Langeais em Langeais o desde 1905 a Fundação Dosne-Thiers: Hôtel particulier Dosne-Thiers e a sua biblioteca, Paris o desde 1912 a Fundação Jacquemart-André: Hôtel particulier Jacquemart-André e o Museu homónimo em Paris o desde 1912 a Fundação Jacquemart-André: abadia "Abbaye royale de Chaalis" e o seu domínio em Fontaine-Chaalis o desde 1919 a Fundação Edmond de Rothschild: Casa do Institut de France em Londres (destruída durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e desde 1952 a funcionar noutro imóvel) o desde 1928 a Fundação Astor: Solar e domínio de Kerazan em Loctudy o desde 1928 a Fundação Théodore Reinach: Villa Kerylos em Beaulieu-sur-Mer o desde 1997 a Fundação André Bussinger: Castelo de Braux-Sainte-Cohière em Braux-Sainte-Cohière * Académie française: o desde 1985 a Fundação Duque e Duquesa de Castries: Castelo de Castries em Castries (Hérault) * Académie des beaux-arts: o desde 1932 a Fundação Paul Marmottan: Musée Marmottan Monet em Paris e Bibliothèque Marmottan em Boulogne-Billancourt o desde 1934 a Fundação Ephrussi de Rothschild: Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild em Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat o desde 1966 a Fundação Claude Monet: Casa Claude Monet em Giverny * Académie des sciences: o desde 1897 a Fundação Antoine d'Abbadie: Castelo de Abbadie em Hendaye o desde 1992 a Fundação Haus Louis Pasteur: casa de Louis Pasteur em Arbois (Jura) Fonte: wikipedia Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by rbpdesigner - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - rbpdesigner France Tags: france   alsace   alsacian   traditionalcoustumes    Alsacian girl in traditional coustumes, Alsace, France Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by jasmine8559 - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - jasmine8559 France Tags: france   unescowhs   lemontsaintmicheal    Le Mont Saint- Micheal, France ( UNESCO WHS ) Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by jasmine8559 - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - jasmine8559 France Tags: france   alsace   traditionalcoustumes    Alsatian girl dressed in traditional coustumes, Alsace, France Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by jasmine8559 - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - jasmine8559 France v Lithuania Tags: france   sports   football   team   nikon   fussball   soccer   henry   national   worldcup   nacional   thierry   lithuania   equipe   d3   calcio   deutsche   nationale   equipo   coupedumonde   qualifier   fusballnationalmannschaft    France v Lithuania Thierry Henry Follow me at: twitter.com/toksuede Recent Updated: 4 years ago - Created by toksuede - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - toksuede France v Lithuania Tags: france   sports   football   team   nikon   fussball   soccer   national   raymond   worldcup   nacional   lithuania   equipe   d3   calcio   deutsche   nationale   equipo   coupedumonde   qualifier   domenech   fusballnationalmannschaft    France v Lithuania Raymond Domenech Follow me at: twitter.com/toksuede Recent Updated: 4 years ago - Created by toksuede - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - toksuede France Tags: france   loirevalley   chambordcastle    Chambord Castle,Loire Valley,France Recent Updated: 4 years ago - Created by jasmine8559 - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - jasmine8559 Air France Airbus A318-111 F-GUGR (28964) Tags: france   plane   germany   airplane   geotagged   deutschland   airport   nikon   hessen   frankfurt   aircraft   air   airbus   d200   tamron   flugzeug   spotting   fra   avion   airfrance   200500   fraport   rheinmain   a318   noseshot   eddf   skyteam   aerotagged   a318111   luftfahrzeug   170107   aero:man=airbus   aero:airline=afr   aero:series=100   220207   fgugr   aero:airport=eddf   a318100   aero:model=a318   aviationphoto   dauaj   090303   geo:lat=50039323   geo:lon=8596877   aero:tail=fgugr   msn3009    Air France Airbus A318-111 F-GUGR is taxiing along taxiway B East towards runway 18 for an intersection departure.

Took us almost 11 hours to get here. We drove through Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium and finally France. We got stuck in traffic like I've never seen. We were at a standstill for more than an hour. I got a sunburn through the window. It was 33 degrees (celcius) and so humid But France is beautiful. The little town we are staying in this week was the most important town in France in the 16th century. It went through the war, and the whole town is so old. The buildings are insane...so many pictures, and bullet holes in all of them. It's amazing. So much history The only thing is...it's so old we have no internet.

Deshalb findet man auch keinen Hauptbahnhof oder ähnliches in Paris, sondern 6 größere Kopfbahnhöfe, die verteilt um den Stadtkern liegen. Jeder ist dabei An- und Abfahrtstelle für bestimmte Ziele in Frankreich bzw. im Ausland. Das heißt, es ist in Paris entscheidend zu wissen an welchem Bahnhof man ankommt bzw. abfahren möchte. Eine Linie fährt meistens nur einen der Bahnhöfe an. Der Gare du Nord liegt in ca. 3 km Entfernung von Pariser Innenstadt im 10. Arrondissement (Adresse: 112, rue de Maubeuge 75010 Paris), nicht weit entfernt vom Gare de l’Est. Er ist mit knapp 500.000 Passagieren pro Tag der größte Bahnhof in Paris. Hier halten sowohl nationale als auch internationale Züge. Vor allem für Reisende aus Nord- und Mitteldeutschland, Belgien, Großbritannien und den Niederlanden ist er der wichtigste Bahnhof. Der Bahnhof dient oft als Kulisse für Spielfilme wie z.B. für Les Poupées Russes, Die Bourne Identität, Die fabelhafte Welt der Amélie oder Ocean's Twelve. Vom Gare du Nord startet der Thalys auf seine Strecke Paris–Brüssel–Köln–Amsterdam. Mit 6 Zugpaaren pro Tag ist die Verbindung gut frequentiert. Die Fahrzeit Köln-Paris beträgt 3 Stunden 50 Minuten und ist damit konkurrenzlos schnell. Die Preise orientieren sich ähnlich wie bei Billigfliegern an Angebot und Nachfrage. 1. Klasse Passagieren genießen im Thalys besonderen Komfort wie kostenloses W-Lan, kostenlose Speisen und Getränke sowie Tageszeitungen. Daran kann man auch gut erkennen, dass Thalys dem Konkurrenten Flugzeug in nichts nachstehen möchte. Mit dem Eurostar kann man via Brüssel und dem Tunnel unter dem Ärmelkanal London (Bahnhof Stratford International) in 2 Stunden 15 Minuten erreichen. - Wichtige Ziele, die vom Gare du Nord erreicht werden können International: Amsterdam, Ashfort, Brüssel, London, Köln National: Arras, Aulnay-sous-Bois, Beauvais, Compiègne, Crépy-en-Valois, Lille, Longueau, Orry-la-Ville-Coye, Picardie, Pontoise, Saint-Denis, Vernon - Click , click © View LARGE on BLACK __ For your Eyes only © - Français .

Täglich werden an diesem Kopfbahnhof etwa eine halbe Million Fahrgäste abgefertigt. Der Bahnhof befindet sich im 10. Arrondissement am Place Napoléon III. - Eröffnung: 20. Juni 1846 zweites Gebäude:1 864 MDCCCLXIV see original size .. Die Franzosen sind stolz auf ihre Sprache und schon fast klischeehaft dafür bekannt, wenig Fremdsprachenkenntnisse zu besitzen. In der Weltstadt Paris ist das bei weitem nicht so ausgeprägt wie auf dem Land. V.a. dort wo in Paris Touristen erwartet werden, wird meistens auch Englisch gesprochen. Nur mit Deutsch durchzukommen kann schwierig werden. Wirklich empfehlenswert ist es, es mit der Französischen Sprache zu versuchen, auch wenn wenig oder keine Vorkenntnisse da sind. Dies ist oft ein „Türöffner“. Ein Sprachführer kann dabei sehr hilfreich sein. - 1864 wurde der Bahnhof in Betrieb genommen, obwohl das Gebäude erst zwei Jahre später fertig gestellt wurde.

ENGLISH The Cap de Creus (Cape of crosses in Catalan) is located at the far NE of Spain, some 25 km south from the French border, in Catalonia. Nearest town is Figueres, capital of the Alt Empordá and fatherland of Salvador Dalí. It is a peninsula of 190 square kilometres of an extraordinary landscape value; a very rocky dry region, with almost no trees, in contrast with a seaside rich in minuscule creeks of deep blue sea to anchor. Mountains are the last eminences of the Pyrenees which make the natural border between France and Spain. The region is frequently swept by awful north wind "tramontana" (beyond mountains) which has caused many naval disasters. Cadaqués is the most well known village, home of artists and writers, with sophisticated and snobbish atmosphere, near Port Lligat where Dalí built his home in a paradise small bay. Port de la Selva, with a little fishing harbour is less exploited, with good gastronomic recourses and pleasant terraces. Fantastic San Pere de Rodes stands out at 500 m of altitude with spectacular views of the Cap and the Pyrenees. It is a 11th century monastery whose first structures date from about 750 AD. It is a magnificent building in Catalan roman style with imposing dimensions and some pre-Romanic painting rests. Cap de Creus is the easternmost point of mainland Spain. It is located in Alt Empordà, Catalonia. The legend tells that the Cap de Creus was made by Hercules. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_de_Creus --------------------------- CASTELLANO El Cabo de Creus (en catalán, cap de Creus), es un promontorio abrupto y rocoso de 672 m de altitud que se alza sobre el mar Mediterráneo en el nordeste de España. Está situado en la comarca gerundense del Alto Ampurdán (Alt Empordà), en la comunidad autónoma de Cataluña, al norte del golfo de Rosas (golf de Roses). Constituye el punto más oriental de la península Ibérica. Está sujeto a la acción del oleaje, provocado fundamentalmente por la tramuntana (nombre local que recibe un viento frío que sopla del norte y noroeste) y los vientos de levante. Geomorfológicamente, forma parte de las estribaciones del Pirineo oriental, que se adentran en el mar por el macizo del cabo de Creus. Sobre terrenos graníticos y esquistosos del ordovícico (paleozoico), presenta una vegetación dominante de matorrales y formaciones arbustivas. El cabo de Creus, en cuyo extremo se sitúa un faro, se encuentra en una pequeña península de carácter montañoso, cortada por numerosas entalladuras, a modo de pequeñas calas, orientadas en función de la estructura pizarrosa. En esta área se registran unas precipitaciones anuales que oscilan entre los 500 y 800 mm; se trata, por tanto, de un clima mediterráneo húmedo, caracterizado por la suavidad térmica y unas moderadas precipitaciones. En el extremo oriental del cabo, a 87 m de altitud, se ubica un faro cuya señal lumínica tiene un alcance de 34 millas.

In 1210 a group of Cathars sought refuge in the village after the massacre of Béziers during the Albigensian Crusade. The village was besieged by Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester. The attacking army besieged the village for six weeks before it capitulated. They set up four catapults around the fortification: three to attack the village, and the largest, Malevoisine, to attack the town's water supply. Eventually the commander of the 200-strong garrison, Viscount Guilhem of Minerve, gave in and negotiated a surrender which saved the villagers and himself after the destruction of the town's main well. However, 140 Cathars refused to give up their faith and were burned to death at the stake on 22 July. The village is situated on top of the gorge of the River Cesse in a naturally strong defensive position. Near the village the river disappears underground in a large, naturally-carved tunnel. Minerve has been selected as one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("The Most Beautiful Villages Of France"). Historically, the village has been the capital of the Minervois wine region." (excerpted from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minerve,_H%c3%a9rault ) Minerve, Menèrba en occitan, est une commune française, située dans le département de l'Hérault et la région Languedoc-Roussillon. Ses habitants sont appelés les Minervois. Capitale historique du pays minervois, cette petite commune accueille chaque année plus de 300 000 visiteurs. Trouvant dans le tourisme et la production de vins de qualité les deux piliers de son activité, Minerve a été élue dans la liste des Plus beaux villages de France.

Just click on photo! This is a repost from my first year on Flickr. This, one of my favorite photos, brings back fond memories of an excellent photo journey to 'deep France'. ] Description: It had been bitter cold these last few days and mostly overcast -- with snow that clung here and there to the cold earth in the mountains, hills, and in the corners of narrow village streets. I was bundled up against the biting wind, looking for good photo subjects. All of a sudden, the sun broke through in the late afternoon to light up this ancient town and its winter fields. I was standing on the hill above what appears to me to be a granary or silo, on the site of the historic windmill, which is still standing. On the bottom right of the photo you can see the shadow cast from its conical roof and one of its blades. From that vantage point the fields stretched out in beautiful patterns in all directions. The village of Lautrec is about 30 minutes southwest of Albi, and is listed as one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, to be preserved for its historic and aesthetic value. One cannot help but admire the French and their respect for the artistry of life. They also have a tradition of respecting their food supply and their farmers. These fields are part of small family holdings. Yes, agribusiness has come to France but it isn't the norm by any means. Small farms are the lifeblood of France, still today!!
