⚠️ La décision de fermer totalement les stations Concorde et Champs-Élysées Clemenceau pendant 3 à 4 mois, y compris les correspondances, doit être revue.
Elle va entraîner le report de nombreux usagers sur d’autres lignes, notamment sur la #ligne9 déjà saturée entre Franklin Roosevelt et chaussée d’Antin, risquant de poser des problèmes de sécurité pour les voyageurs.

Je ne me lasse pas de cet entretien de Jean Cocteau évoquant avec émotion son ami Marcel Proust, le racontant dans son intimité, allant même jusqu’à limiter avec beaucoup d’humour !

Reconstruction of an ancient Roman bikini on basis of a mosaic from Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily, Italy :

Deep in the Sicilian countryside, a grand Roman villa from the early 4th Century AD, offers a glimpse into the luxury of Late Antiquity through colorful mosaics and frescoes that cover the grounds of some of Italy's best-preserved works of art. Although its origins are shrouded in mystery, Villa Romana del Casale is a historical guide to the lives of its aristocratic owners, their passion for ostentatious beauty, and the elite tastes of the High Empire. Some rooms of the villa are decorated with less formal decorations and more playful mosaics depicting scenes from mythological tales, hunting expeditions, athletic competitions, and other pastimes the owner probably enjoyed.

Around 1960, “Gymnasts' Room” also known as "Ten Young Girls" was excavated and an elaborate mosaic of female athletes in magnificent condition was uncovered. These women are depicted running, lifting weights, and participating in various Olympic sports and receiving awards; wearing bikinis that closely resemble modern swimsuits or bikinis, giving scholars insight into the athletic fashions of the period. At the same time, myth incorrectly entrenched in school textbooks, bikini as an invention of 20th Century CE, collapses.

With the revelations about Princess Kate and the photoshop, I'm beginning to wonder if the Queen really did parachute into the Olympics...

Si les stations fantômes fermées depuis 1939 le sont par manque de recettes, le cas de la station Champ-de-Mars (#ligne8), située en plein secteur touristique, peut surprendre : faut-il croire que l'École Militaire, le Champ-de-Mars et la Tour Eiffel généraient si peu de trafic ?

Albert Einstein and Marie Sklodowska Curie reminiscing by a lake in 1929. Back in 1906, Curie had lost her husband Pierre when he was killed by a horse-drawn cart while crossing a busy street in Paris. She mourned his death for a few years before finding comfort in Pierre's protégé, Paul Langevin, a married physics professor who was separated from his wife because she was physically abusive.

When Langevin's wife discovered that Curie was involved with her husband, she hired someone to break into their apartment and steal their love letters, which she promptly leaked to the press. Curie's name was dragged through the mud, and soon an angry mob gathered in front of her home. Curie and her daughter went into hiding and stayed with a family friend. Langevin entered into a duel with one of the tabloid editors to defend Curie's honor, but no shot was fired.

Meanwhile, Einstein wrote the following letter to Curie to offer his support and voice his solidarity:

"Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie,

Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom it has been fabricated.

With most amicable regards to you, Langevin, and Perrin, yours very truly,
A. Einstein"

In 1911, at the peak of the scandal, Curie went on to win her second Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
