chez Montaigne

Michel Eyquem seigneur de Montaigne , dit Montaigne (1533-1592) est sans doute le plus célèbres des Humanistes et philosophe Français du 16ème siècle . De son château originel il ne reste qu'une partie des remparts et cette fameuse tour où il écrivit ses "Essais". La balade dans les jardins est reposante et pleine de charme. Mais pour qui s'intéresse à l'écrivain , la visite de la tour où Montaigne avait sa chambre de travail, sa "bibliothèque", reste un moment très émouvant . La pièce est restée dans son jus, toute en pierres avec les poutres gravées de sentences d'auteurs grecs et latins qui appuyaient ses réflexions humanistes. Après trois visites de ces lieux, je me plais à croire que la nuit Montaigne y revient écrire la suite de ses essais, avec un sourire dubitatif sur les affres de notre temps : "Mon Dieu, rien n'a changé" pourrait-il penser...

Le Château de Montaigne se trouve dans le département de la Dordogne,entre Bergerac et Bordeaux, France.

Michel Eyquem, Lord of Montaigne, known as Montaigne (1533-1592), is undoubtedly the most famous of the 16th-century French humanists and philosophers. Of his original castle, only a section of the ramparts and the famous tower where he wrote his "Essays" remain. A stroll through the gardens is peaceful and charming. But for anyone interested in the writer, a visit to the tower, where Montaigne had his study, his "library," remains a deeply moving experience. The room has been preserved in its original state, entirely of stone, with beams engraved with maxims from Greek and Latin authors that supported his humanist reflections. After three visits to this place, I like to imagine that Montaigne returns here at night to write the next installment of his essays, with a wry smile reflecting on the woes of our time: "My God, nothing has changed," he might think...

Montaigne's Château is located in the Dordogne department, between Bergerac and Bordeaux, France.

La galerie contemporaine de la cathédrale Saint Maurice d'Angers .
La partie la plus impressionnante, c'est celle de la construction de la protection du portail occidental. Un projet d’envergure, porté par le ministère de la Culture, qui répond à une nécessité : abriter et protéger les sculptures polychromées du 12ᵉ siècle qui ornent le portail médiéval. Elles avaient fait l’objet d’une restauration entre 2007 et 2019.

Le concours international est lancé en 2020. Il attire des agences d’architecture du monde entier. C’est finalement le projet du célèbre architecte japonais Kengo Kuma, et de son agence, qui est retenu. Connu pour son approche sensible et respectueuse des contextes historiques, le cabinet propose une structure qui conjugue monumentalité gothique de la cathédrale et élégance contemporaine.

An amazing place in Mauritanie.

Ben Amera (or Amira; Arabic: بن عميرة) is Africa's largest monolith,[1] rising 633 metres (2,077 ft) above the desert floor. It is the world's second-largest[1] monolith, after only Uluru in Australia. Ben Amera is located in Mauritania, near the border with Western Sahara.

A little place in the countryside

Along a very nice walk near Painswick in Gloucestershire, the path runs through a country estate. Tocknells Court is a historic and architecturally significant Grade II* listed detached country house surrounded by around 40 hectares of private land, complete with 16th century barns.

It was last sold in 2020 for £4.3M / €5M, so, while delightful, it's a little out of our price range!

As we head north west from Tarbet along the A82 we soon come to the famous Loch Tulla viewpoint. A nice parking area of the road from where we can see magnificent mountain scenery all around. Here I am looking south over the loch in the direction of ‘Bridge of Orchy’. The mountains we see here are known as ‘Black Mount’. Next stop, the Rannoch Moor viewpoint before glen Coe.

Plovdiv, formerly Philippopolis, is the second largest city in Bulgaria. It is located in the southern part of the country, in the central part of the fertile Upper Thracian Lowland, on the Maritsa River.
The first settlements within the borders of modern Plovdiv date back to the Neolithic era and are dated around 6,000 BC.
Around 1200 BC, a Thracian settlement called Eumolpia was located here.
In 342 BC, the city was conquered by Philip II of Macedon, who named it Philippopolis in his honor.
