PA_1565 [40 points]
Invader collaborated on the "Video Games Music" exhibition at the beautiful Philharmonie de Paris. For Invader, this was the opportunity to provide both the Philharmonie de Paris and the Cité de la Musique with no fewer than 7 new space invaders (PA_1562 thru PA_1568). I am posting them in the order in which I found them.
Four Pac Man's with a stunningly beautiful view. You have to take the elevator to the 9th floor to spot these. The belvédère of this building is worth to go the way up anyway. And after enjoying the view, flashing the four Pac Man (PA_1565) you can walk zigzagging down.

MARS_75 [20 points]
A revisit of MARS_75 near the stairs of Gare Marseille Saint-Charles. When I visited this one in 2021 there was overcast and three years later this blue one is bathing in full sunshine. A space invader with a view!
This space invader is part of the 4th wave of Invader in this city, where he added a whopping 84 new space invaders to the existing 13 from three previous waves (two in 2004, one in 2014) in August 2020.

Driving down the volcano, winding roads and stunning views on the tarmac. And beyond.

Puy de Dôme (French pronunciation: ?[p?i d? dom]; Occitan: Puèi Domat, Puèi de Doma) is a large lava dome and one of the youngest volcanoes in the Chaîne des Puys region of Massif Central in south-central France. This chain of volcanoes including numerous cinder cones, lava domes, and maars is far from the edge of any tectonic plate. Puy de Dôme is approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) from Clermont-FerrandClermont-Ferrand. The Puy-de-Dôme département (with hyphens) is named after the volcano.

Saignon
Saignon is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. The nearest town is Apt (4 km).
The village is on the edge of the plateau des Claparèdes. This plateau, which rises to 821 meters at a place called l’Ourillon, is a relief Apt basin. There is a bakery/cafe, two restaurants, and a general store. The school has about 100 students and is attached to the post office.
The area was first occupied in the Middle Palaeolithic age. The rock at Saignon, on a prominent location over the valley, was used as an ancient observatory and possibly a signal station. The name Saignon is believed to derive from word Sagnio, which comes from the word signum.
The 12th century Romanesque church of Notre-Dame de Pitié, also known as Saint Mary of Saignon, has been a stopping point for religious pilgrims since the Middle Ages: in addition to local pilgrims from Provence, it was positioned on the way for those traveling to Rome along the Via Domitia, and for Italian pilgrims going to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The 11th century Benedictine Abbaye Saint-Eusèbe, located just outside the town, traces its history to an earlier 6th century structure. After being destroyed and rebuilt several times, the Lord of Saignon restored the abbey to the Order of Saint Giles, which received support from the Benedictine Cluny Abbey and its abbot, St. Odilon. Pope Urban II passed through the area in 1096 and devoted the church which had been recently rebuilt. The abbey is now rented to the public for events.

Parvis du Sacré-Cœur 04/01/2024 09h06
One of the most beautiful freely accessible view points in Paris; the forecourt of the Sacre-Cœur on the Butte Montmartre. The mecca for love locks has moved from Pont des Arts to these fences in front of the Sacré-Cœur.
Montmarte
Montmartre s a large hill in Paris's northern 18th arrondissement. It is 130 meters high and gives its name to the surrounding district, part of the Right Bank. Montmartre is primarily known for its artistic history, for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur on its summit, and as a nightclub district.
The other church on the hill, Saint Pierre de Montmartre, built in 1147, was the church of the prestigious Montmartre Abbey. On 15 August 1534, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Saint Francis Xavier and five other companions bound themselves by vows in the Martyrium of Saint Denis, 11 Rue Yvonne Le Tac, the first step in the creation of the Jesuits.
Língua Portuguesa:
- Nove colonos vindos de Treviglio, na Itália, em 1876 resolveram levantar uma capela em honra da Madonna de Caravaggio no Vale do Azambuja, a três km de Brusque, onde se fixaram. A construção começou em 1884 em um terreno doado por Pietro Colzani. No altar principal foi colocado um quadro de Nossa Senhora de Caravaggio, chamada pelos devotos de Nossa Senhora de Azambuja, vindo da Itália, o qual pode ser admirado ainda hoje, mas na gruta anexa ao santuário.
Azambuja logo se tornou um centro de peregrinações e por isso foi ampliada em 1894. Porém, em 1927, foi demolida. Um ano depois, dá-se início à construção de uma gruta, e em 1956 foi oficializada a consagração do templo.
O santuário ostenta atualmente duas torres de 40 metros de altura, três naves, um altar-mor em mármore, dois altares, duas capelas laterais, quatro confessionários, um púlpito e 72 bancos de madeira, todos feitos baseados em um estilo romântico belíssimo.

On the west coast of Ireland, the Cliffs of Moher are one of the most outstanding coastal features of Ireland. Rising slowly from the Village of Doolin they ascend to over 700 feet (213 metres) stretching south for nearly five miles (8km) to Hags head. If you go on the edge of the Cliffs, please don't sneeze if you don't want to fly as a stone bird ;-))
Situé sur la Côte Ouest de l'Irlande, les Cliffs ( falaises ) de Moher sont un lieu de passage à ne pas rater. Situé à 213 m de haut, s'étalant sur 8 km, surtout éviter d'éternuer en marchant sur le sentier piéton escarpé à moins de vouloir jouer à l'oiseau ( de pierre ) ;-))

We made a bustrip to the Teide. Climbing from sealevel to 2200 meters above sealevel. Everything changes. From the Playa Américas through the rocky surroundings, banana plantations and a pine tree forest to a landscape of vulcanic rocks. All on one road!
Cap Spartel 06/07/2023 12h38
A special place in the area of Tanger is this cape. The northwesternmost point of the African continent.
Cap Spartel
Cape Spartel (Arabic: رأس سبارطيل, Moroccan Arabic: أشبرتال, French: Cap Spartel, Spanish: Cabo Espartel) is a promontory in Morocco about 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, 12 km west of Tangier. It is the northwesternmost point of the African continent. Below the cape are the Caves of Hercules.
According to Mohamed Chafik, the name of this location is derived from Latin spartium, which is the name of a plant genus (Spanish broom).
The cape rises to a height of 326 m. at the top of Jebel Quebir, where a lighthouse built by Sultan Muhammad IV in 1864 is situated at the end of a cliff.
Renovation of the whole Cape Spartel site was started in 2020 and completed in 2021. It is now open to the public and includes a maritime museum, restaurant, botanical garden and an event space. Visitors can also access the top of the lighthouse to enjoy the stunning view of the strait of Gibraltar. Cape Spartel is accessible from the National Road S701.

A beautiful square and view point we experienced during our City Tour by bus. A good place to come back.
Tanger
Tanger ( طنجة) is a city in northwestern Morocco, on the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The city is the capital of the Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region, as well as the Tangier-Assilah Prefecture of Morocco.
Many civilisations and cultures have influenced the history of Tangier, starting from before the 10th century BCE. Starting as a strategic Phoenician town and trading centre, Tangier has been a nexus for many cultures. In 1923, it became an international zone managed by colonial powers and became a destination for many European and American diplomats, spies, bohemians, writers and businessmen. That status came to an end with Moroccan independence, in phases between 1956 and 1960.
By the early 21st century, Tangier was undergoing rapid development and modernisation. Projects include tourism projects along the bay, a modern business district called Tangier City Centre, an airport terminal, and a football stadium. Tangier's economy is set to benefit greatly from the Tanger-Med port.
