Ce magnifique bâtiment historique, occupant le coin Sud-Est de la rue du Port et de Place d'Youville, fut ravagé par les flammes aux petites heure, ce jeudi matin. Plus d'une centaine de vaillants pompiers ont été appelés à combattre la conflagration. Le bâtiment a subi d'irréversibles dommages.
Plusieurs personnes manquent à l'appel.

The small village of Fáskrúðsfjörður (population approx. 660) in Eastern Iceland is unique in having all of its street and road signs in both Icelandic and French! Hafnargata translates literally as Harbour Road.

Sometimes it doesn't make you happy to find an almost new space invader. No idea what the fun was to use paintball on this space invader in the old historic center of Clermont-Fernand. I don't like it and it must be hard to clean them in this state without breaking the glass mosaïc tiles. The theme os this one is (was) the year "2016".

THE INVASION OF CLERMONT-FERRAND
The first (two?) invasion wave(s) of the center of Clermont-Ferrand occured in the year 2000 and consisted 8 space invaders, 4 of them are still there (including 1 re-activation) and flashable.
In January 2016 Clermont-Ferrand was invaded again, the 3rd invasion wave took place:
"At the occasion of the screening of the very last version of the movie Art4Sspace at the Interntional Short Film Festival of Clermont-Ferrand, I have added 31 new creations to the city of the center of France. Among various themes, they refer to movies and cinema but also to what Clermont Ferrand is famous for : its gothic cathedrale, its volcanos, its Michelin factories and its Serge Gainsbourg street" (Invader)

En mars 2023, l'édifice William W. Ogilvie, construit en 1890, était la proie des flammes, causant de sérieux dommages au bâtiment historique. L'incendie, d'origine criminelle, a fait sept victimes.
Un projet de restauration est en cours. Des poutres d'acier ont été installées pour consolider la structure et sécuriser le site.

Église Notre-Dame-du-Port
The Basilica of Notre-Dame du Port is a Romanesque basilica, formerly a collegiate church, in the Port quarter of Clermont-Ferrand, between Place Delille and the cathedral. From the 10th century to the French Revolution it was served by a community of canons, regular until the 13th century, and thereafter secular.
According to tradition, the church was founded by the bishop of Clermont, Saint Avitus, in the 6th century and was rebuilt in the 11th or 12th centuries after being burned down by the Normans. The establishment here of a community of canons took place no earlier than the middle of the 10th century, under bishop Étienne II of Clermont.
In the 19th century the bell tower was added, and the Romanesque roof tiles were replaced by lava slabs. These have since been removed again and the roof restored as near as possible to its original state. A major restoration programme took place in the church interior between 2007 and 2008, consisting of the cleaning of all the stonework, the removal of cement pointing from the restoration of the 19th century, the restoration of the pictures and the replacement of the lustres (the crypt however was not included).
On Sunday 7 December 2008 the statue of Notre-Dame du Port ("Our Lady of the Port") was reinstalled in the church, having been kept safe in Clermont Cathedral during the restoration works, thus marking the reopening of the building to the public.
In 1998 the Basilica of Notre-Dame du Port was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France.
The name "du Port" supposedly comes from the fact that the church was built in the "port" district, in Latin portus, here in the sense of "market" rather than "seaport". It should be noted however that the church at first bore the name of Sainte-Marie-Principale; the description Portus or du Port is not known before the 11th century. Nor was the Port district, at least in the Middle Ages, a particularly commercial one: the districts of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Genès were much more so.

At the left Rue du Port, ahead Place de la République and at the right Promenade de la Mer. This rond-point is kind of the middle of Cavalaire-sur-Mer.
Cavalaire-sur-Mer
Cavalaire-sur-Mer is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
Cavalaire-sur-Mer is probably an ancient Phoenician colony of the name of Heracles Caccabaria. There are also remains of a Gallo-Roman occupation in Pardigon.
The town was detached from Gassin in 1929. The village is located on the route of the old railway Saint Raphael - Toulon (sometimes called Train Pignes), now defunct. However, we can note the location of the old railway line and follow its path (and in much of the coast from Le Lavandou to St. Raphael, Cavalaire is even a "Road Train Pignes").
During World War II, on August 16, 1944, it was one of the sites of a beach landing in Operation Dragoon, the Allied invasion of southern France. Every year, August 15 sees a parade of military vehicles and the reconstruction of a military camp.

Clermont-Ferrand
Clermont-Ferrand is a city and commune of France, in the Auvergne region. It is the prefecture (capital) of the Puy-de-Dôme department.
Clermont-Ferrand sits on the plain of Limagne in the Massif Central and is surrounded by a major industrial area. The city is famous for the chain of volcanoes, the Chaîne des Puys surrounding it. The famous dormant volcano Puy de Dôme (10 kilometres from the city) is one of the highest of these and well known for the telecommunication antennas that sit on its top and are visible from far away.
Clermont-Ferrand is also famous for hosting the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, one of the world's leading international festivals for short films, the Festival du Court Metrage de Clermont-Ferrand, as well as the corporate headquarters of Michelin, the global tire company created more than 100 years ago in the city.
Clermont-Ferrand's most famous public square is Place de Jaude, on which stands a grand statue of Vercingetorix sitting imperiously on a horse and holding a sword. The inscription reads: J'ai pris les armes pour la liberté de tous (I took up arms for the liberty of all). This statue was sculpted by Frédéric Bartholdi, who also created the Statue of Liberty.
The main railway station has connections to Paris and several regional destinations: Lyon, Saint-Étienne, Orléans, Bordeaux, Moulins, Le Puy-en-Velay, Limoges. The motorway A71 connects Clermont-Ferrand with Orléans and Bourges, the A72 with Saint-Étienne, the A75 with Montpellier and the A89 with Bordeaux. The airport offers mainly flights within France. There is a flight between Southampton and Clermont-Ferrand, operated by Flybe from May to October. Recently, Clermont-Ferrand was France's first city to get a new Translohr transit system, the Clermont-Ferrand Tramway, thereby linking the city's north and south neighbourhoods. The TGV will arrive in Auvergne after 2030. It will be one of the last regions to not have a TGV stop.

Rue Charles VII | Rue du Port 16/06/2017 17h48
After arriving at my hotel Ibis in Nogent-sur-Marne I had a mission on the last night of my 2017 holiday in France. I had to find to other space invaders. One was already found opposite my hotel, PA_1259. And there is another within a 20 minutes walking distance of my hotel I had cleverly booked here, PA_1271.
Nogent-sur-Marne
Nogent-sur-Marne is a commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 10.6 km from the centre of Paris. Nogent-sur-Marne is a sous-préfecture of the Val-de-Marne département, being the seat of the Arrondissement of Nogent-sur-Marne.
In the Middle Ages, several castles were built. Le Château de Plaisance, built in the 13th century, which hosted Charles V and Jeanne de Bourbon in 1375. The only vestige which remains is a house of the current private hospital, 30 rue de Plaisance, as well as the bottom of the enclosing wall of the gardens. Le Château de Beauté sur Marne, 14th century, is a royal stay. Cardinal de Richelieu destroyed it in 1626.
The construction of the two railway lines: Paris–Mulhouse and Bastille–La Varenne in the 1850s still accelerated the process. The viaduct, built by Auvergnats and Belgians was destroyed once on 15 September 1870. Italians rebuilt it; an Italian community was established there. Coming, for the majority, from the province of Piacenza, they were from the Valley of Nure or from the south of Tyrol.
Isolated since 1854 by the construction of a viaduct for the Paris–Mulhouse line, the commune of Le Perreux sur Marne is born after a fight of more than 10 years in 1887. On 28 February 1887, more than half of the territory of Nogent-sur-Marne was detached and became the commune of Le Perreux-sur-Marne.
In 1929, the commune of Nogent-sur-Marne lost a small part of its territory when the city of Paris annexed the Bois de Vincennes, the eastern fringe of which belonged to Nogent-sur-Marne.
There are two RER lines serving Nogent-sur-Marne; Nogent-sur-Marne station on Paris RER line (A) and Nogent – Le Perreux station on Paris RER line E.

Ce remarquable bâtiment arborant une tourelle d'angle était mentionné à l'époque comme étant l'édifice William W. Ogilvie. Situé à deux pas de la rue de la Commune dans le secteur du port de Montréal et il y était toujours (voir ci-bas) jusqu'à ce qu'il soit la proie des flames au matin du 16 mars 2023.
One of the oldest houses with a typical construction. It's called "Maison de la Justice" - The Old Courthouse (Est. circa 1350).
Some of the houses date back some time but mostly all of the houses even much longer ago. Very nice and different facades present a different look around every corner. None of the buildings are fitted with visible modern items so you might forget the actual date and time now and then.

Limeuil: Urban Photography
The village of Limeuil, located at the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers historically both commercially and strategically on the highways of trade. This region was primarily a wine-producing area for subsequent delivery downstream to Bordeaux, on large, flat-bottomed "gabarres". Nowadays a very nice historical village and on the list of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France", the most beautiful villages of France.
