Les Baux-de-Provence, France part 1 the village
The town of Les Baux-des-Provence in the south of France is a remarkable sight, a unique stone village whose important history dates to the Middle Ages, with an ancestry stretching further back for millennia. On a rocky plateau surrounded by steep cliffs, Les Baux has survived through various important historical periods, sometimes playing a major role. As a medieval fortress it was easy to defend. Then in Renaissance days it continued as a thriving village. In later times it was falling apart and rather depopulated, but it was then rebuilt in the middle 20th century and renovated and restored. André Malraux, the France culture minister had a lot to do with preserving this town and now it's a great attraction for the visitor. We wander along the pedestrian lanes, do a little shopping and enjoy spectacular views. Our tour was conducted by Provence Reservations.
A Walk Around Saint-Germain/Mabillon, Paris
The Place d’Acadie is a public square in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, dedicated on 8 March 1984 by the mayor of Paris, Jacques Chirac, and by the president of an association called Les Amitiés Acadiennes, Philippe Rossillon. It is located near the Mabillon metro station, where the Boulevard Saint-Germain intersects the Rue du Four and the Rue de Buci.
The square takes its name from the old French North-American territory of Acadia that was once part of New France. Acadia existed in what is now called New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, provinces of Canada that are, today, home to a large number of francophone Canadians. Acadia is represented, in international forums on the French-speaking world's culture (francophonie), by the Province of New Brunswick.
Dedication of this square in Paris was meant to mark the hundredth anniversary of the Acadian flag in 1884 in connection with the second National Acadian Convention. It was also the 380th anniversary of the first French outpost in Acadia in 1604.
The Place d’Acadie is located only about a hundred metres from another place celebrating French culture in North America, the Place du Québec.
