Construite sur la partie la plus haute de la ville, la Cathédrale de Porto, également appelée La Sé, est l’édifice religieux le plus important de Porto. Située dans le quartier de Batalha, à côté des murailles qui protégeaient autrefois la ville, l’extérieur de l’édifice ressemble à une forteresse avec ses créneaux.
La colonne torsadée du pilori (Pelourinho) symbolise la puissance de la justice en face de Sé. On peut encore y apercevoir les crochets qui servaient aux exécutions.
Built on the highest part of the city, the Cathedral of Porto, also called La Sé, is the most important religious building in Porto. It is located in the Batalha district, next to the walls that once protected the city. The exterior of the building resembles a fortress with its battlements.
The twisted column of the pillory (Pelourinho) symbolizes the power of justice in front of Sé. You can still see the hooks that were used for executions.
Cinderella, for her twenty years,
Is the prettiest of all children.
Her handsome lover,
Prince Charming,
Takes her away on his white horse.
She forgets time,
In his palace of riches
Not noticing a new day dawning,
She shuts her eyes,
And in her dreams,
She goes.
Pretty little story.
Cinderella, for her thirty years,
Is the saddest of all mothers.
Prince Charming
Has fucked off
With Sleeping Beauty.
She saw a hundred white horses
Taking her children far from her.
She begins to drink,
Frequent the bars
Wrapped up in her despair,
She wanders the streets.
She goes.
Pretty little story.
Ten years of this life were enough
For her to become a junkie.
And in a neverending sleep,
Cinderella sees the end of her life.
The lights dance
In the ambulance
But she kills her last chance
None of it is important anymore.
She goes.
End of story.
Our Father who is so old,
Have you really done your best?
For when the land is in the sky,
Your angels don't like to become old

"Madame Meilland" est un trésor végétal sauvé de la seconde guerre mondiale. Voici son histoire:
Afin de protéger sa création de l'invasion de la France par l'Allemagne en juin 40, Francis Meilland fit parvenir ses boutures à des amis basés en Turquie, en Italie et en Allemagne.
La plante fut aussi envoyée aux Etats-Unis sous forme de quelques greffons, via le consul américain qui utilisa le dernier avion à quitter la région lyonnaise en 1942. La variété fut ainsi préservée par Robert Pyle, un rosiériste de Pensylvanie, ami américain de la famille Meilland depuis 1933.
A l'automne 1942, F. Meilland publia cette nouvelle rose dans le catalogue de l'entreprise, lui attribuant le nom de sa mère décédée 10 ans plus tôt: Madame A. Meilland.
Après la signature de l'armistice le 8 mai 1945, F. Meilland reçut une nouvelle inattendue de la part de Robert Pyle: Il avait officiellement lancé la commercialisation du rosier N°3-35-40 sous le nom de "PEACE". Le baptême avait été organisé par l'American Rose Society à Pasadena en Californie en présence de vedettes de cette époque.
C'était le jour de la chute de Berlin, date considérée officiellement comme marquant la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale en Europe !
La nouvelle "Rose Peace" fut offerte aux 49 personnes des différents pays, qui, le 26 juin 1945 se réunirent à San Francisco pour constituer l'ONU.
Une "ROSE de la PAIX" était posée sur le bureau de chacun des délégués, accompagnée de cette note; "NOUS ESPERONS QUE LA "ROSE PEACE" PORTERA LES PENSEES HUMAINES VERS UNE PAIX DURABLE DANS LE MONDE"...
Quand la petite histoire rejoint la grande Histoire...
J'aurai toujours un rosier Madame Meilland dit "Rose Peace" dans mon jardin...
Here is the History of the rose "Madame Meilland" or "PEACE ROSE":
The history of "Peace Rose" and how it came about is a fascinating story wich is well worth telling.
In 1935, the French rose breeder Françis Meilland chose fifty seedlings from his seed beds. One of which was labelled 3-35-40. Over the next few years, F. Meilland watched its development with interest and planned to launch the new rose as "Madame Antoine Meilland" in honour of his mother.
However, a few months later, Hitler invaded France and the future of the rose nursery looked dire. To ensure that the new rose was not lost forever, F. Meilland managed to get 3 parcels of budwood out of the country, one of which was smuggled out in a diplomatic bag on the last plane out of France. The budwood was sent to another rose breeder, Robert Pyle, in Pensylvania, USA.
Over the next few years, F. Meilland launched his new rose in France as "Madame Antoine Meilland". He was not aware that some of the budwood had reached Germany, and Italy and the rose was being sold under different names. In Germany, it was called "Gloria Dei", and in Italy "Gioia".
F. Meilland had not had any word from America and had no idea the fate of his rose over there.
It was not untill liberation of France in 1945, that F. Meilland finally heard from Robert Pyle that the rose had survived the war and was being grown successfully.
In the meantime, F. Meilland had decided to change the name of the rose. He wrote to Field Marshall Alan Brooke to thank him for his part in the liberation of France, and to ask him if he would give his name to the rose. The Field Marshall declined stating that a far more fitting name would be "PEACE".
The new name "Peace" was publicly announced in America by Robert Pyle on the 29th April 1945, the very day that Berlin fell and was officialy considered the end of Second World War in Europe.
Towards the end of 1945, "Peace Roses" were given to each of the delegations at the inaugural meeting of the UNITED NATIONS in San Francisco each with a note which read
"We HOPE THE "PEACE ROSE" WILL INFLUENCE MEN'S THOUGHTS FOR EVERLASTING WORLD PEACE"...
I will always have a rosebush "Peace Rose" in my garden...

For Macro Mondays - When I was a child...
When I was a child, I loved to imagine new stories and fantastic worlds, sometimes out of nothing.
As you can see, it's always the case today !
Quand j'étais petite, j'adorais inventer des histoires et imaginer des mondes fantastiques, parfois à partir de rien.
Et c'est toujours le cas aujourd'hui ! :)
Histoire :
Poste de guet qui va permettre au Moyen Âge la surveillance du pont de Tournepiche, l'eschif est construit en 1347 sur les remparts du Puy-Saint-Front (la cité médiévale correspondant au centre historique de Périgueux) au pied desquels l'Isle s'écoulait.
En 1929, l'eschif est inscrit au titre des monuments historiques sous le nom (erroné) de moulin Saint-Front. Cette inscription est annulée en 1977 et remplacée par un classement au titre des monuments historiques.
Il appartient à la ville de Périgueux depuis 1976
Architecture :
L'eschif a conservé ses pans de bois et son torchis. L'édifice semble tenir miraculeusement sur un mince support auquel il est relié par des jambes de force sur ses deux façades longitudinales
History :
Watchtower which in the Middle Ages will allow the surveillance of the Tournepiche bridge, the eschif was built in 1347 on the ramparts of Puy-Saint-Front (the medieval city corresponding to the historic center of Périgueux) at the foot of which Isle s 'flowed.
In 1929, the eschif was listed as a historical monument under the (erroneous) name of Moulin Saint-Front. This registration was canceled in 1977 and replaced by a classification as historical monuments.
It has belonged to the city of Périgueux since 1976
Architecture:
The eschif has retained its half-timbered walls and its cob. The building seems to stand miraculously on a thin support to which it is connected by struts on its two longitudinal facades.

L’histoire de la Draye Blanche
La grotte de la Draye Blanche est située sur la commune de la Chapelle en Vercors, en bordure de forêt au sud de ce gigantesque massif calcaire. Elle fût découverte en 1918 par un homme hors du commun : Fabien Rey. Surnommé « Marseille », Fabien Rey, de par son mode de vie et son caractère particulier, s’était écarté de la vie du village de La Chapelle. Plutôt solitaire, il vivait en marge du bourg dans une cahute minuscule, avec comme seule compagnie une trentaine de chiens, parfois plus. Mais la grande passion de Marseille, c’était la Nature : il la connaissait bien pour la côtoyer tous les jours et l’appréciait tout autant, pour s’en nourrir en toute autarcie. Un jour qu’il braconnait, un de ses chiens vint à chuter au fond d’un scialet (nom donné aux gouffres dans le Vercors). Marseille, peu craintif, descendit alors à sa recherche dans la cavité à l’aide d’une simple corde. Il s’aperçut alors que le gouffre donnait sur une galerie : aussi tôt après avoir remonté son chien, Marseille redescendit pour l’explorer avec pour tout équipement une bougie. il fut émerveillé par ce qu’il avait découvert…
L’aménagement du puits et la mise en lumière de la grotte furent achevés août 1970. Et Fabien Rey, alors octogénaire, ne put cacher son émotion, quand pour la première fois il vit sa grotte complètement illuminée. Il pouvait enfin prendre la mesure de cette immense cavité (100 mètres sur 30) et de ses milliers de magnifiques stalactites, qu’il n’avait pu admirer qu’à la lueur vacillante de bougies.

History of the cave
The cave of Draye Blanche is located on La Chapelle-en-Vercors, near the forest south of the gigantic limestone massif. It was discovered in 1918 by an extraordinary man: Fabien Rey, nicknamed "Marseille". Fabien Rey, through its lifestyle and its unique character, had departed from the life of the village of La Chapelle. Rather solitary, he lived on the fringes of the village in a tiny hut, as the only company with thirty dogs, sometimes more. But the great passion of Marseille was nature: he paced dayly into nature and appreciated in complete autarky. One day he poached, one of his dogs came to the bottom of a drop scialet (name given to sinkholes in the Vercors). Marseille, little apprehensive, went down to his research into the cavity using a simple rope. He then perceived that the gulf overlooked a gallery: as soon after ascending the dog, Marseille went down to explore it with for any equipment a candle. He was amazed by what he had discovered ...
Equipment of the well and the lighting of the cave was completed in August 1970. Fabien Rey, then octogenarian could not hide his emotion when he first saw her completely illuminated cave. He could finally take the measure of this immense cavity (100 by 30 meters) and its thousands of stalactites, that he could only admire the flickering light of candles.

Quelle histoire ? chacun la sienne. Pour un chien beaucoup auraient dit : "sur la tombe de son maître". Certains préfèreront ici "le chasseur de lézards" ou même "plein soleil". Et après tout, c'est peut-être tout ça à la fois, et ce que vous voudrez en plus.

Frederic Back created a massive stained glass mural entitled "L’histoire de la musique à Montréal" ("The History of music in Montreal") at the Place-des-Arts Metro station in Montreal. Unveiled on December 20, 1967, this stained glass was the first work of art to be commissioned for the Montreal metro system
