Monet only spent a few weeks in Venice in 1908, but the light in the city completely caught him off guard. He was 68, tired, and swore he wasn’t going to paint… then he saw the canals and ended up creating some of the softest, dreamiest works of his late life.

[Ce jour-là dans l'Histoire @CeJour_Histoire]

Cette tour gothique en plein Paris ne mène nulle part.

Pas de porte qui compte, pas d'église autour. Juste un clocher seul, planté au milieu d'un square, entre le Châtelet et la rue de Rivoli. Vous êtes passé devant cent fois.

C'est la tour Saint-Jacques. Et c'est une orpheline.

Au Moyen Âge, elle coiffait une église immense, financée par les puissants bouchers du quartier. Nicolas Flamel, le bourgeois que la légende dit alchimiste, y était enterré.

Puis vient la Révolution. L'église est vendue comme simple carrière de pierres, en 1797. On la démonte, on revend les murs.

Mais le contrat de vente pose une condition étrange. Le clocher, lui, doit rester debout.

Il survit donc, seul. Transformé en fonderie de plomb de chasse, puis racheté par la Ville en 1836.

Un détail scelle sa légende. À son sommet, Blaise Pascal aurait refait son expérience sur le poids de l'air. Un clocher devenu laboratoire.

Aujourd'hui, ses 300 marches mènent à une vue à 360 degrés sur tout Paris.

Une église entière a disparu. Son clocher, lui, veille encore.

. #RahulGandhi turns 56 today. 17 years ago he was 39, at AMU a Muslim girl student asked him a bit uneasy question. He was far less experienced back then.

No notes. No teleprompter. No interpreter. Just pure, direct answer.

@DNIGabbard So apparently Covid-19 did not originate from a fish market as 100% of mainstream media insisted for years. The same mainstream media that is now telling us that “Putin is bad” and “israel is only defending itself”.

Rome was buried and abandoned for hundreds of years.

@Glenn_Diesen In 1990 when Gorbachev returned occupied East Germany for reunification we promised that #NATO would not expand "one inch" to the east. That was 16 new NATO states and 1500 miles ago. #AbolishNATO #fascism

The Porte de Paris (Paris Gate) in Lille, France, is a magnificent 17th-century triumphal arch built to commemorate the victories of King Louis XIV. Standing proudly in Place Simon Volant, it is regarded as a masterpiece of military architecture. Designed by architect Simon Volant between 1685 and 1692, the monument originally served as a gateway within the city's fortified walls, symbolizing both strength and royal prestige. 🇫🇷

@JuAvrilT @MaryKostakidis @unjoe @Consortiumnews Congratulations, Mary, an award so well deserved.

FYI @AlboMP This top award is given to courageous investigative reporters who expose government and corporate abuses at great personal risk. You were quick to congratulate Delta/Eurovision. So why the silence now?

[Judith T Soon everyone will have been against this @JuAvrilT]

This afternoon @MaryKostakidis was awarded the Gary Webb Freedom of the Press Award by @unjoe @Consortiumnews Mary is the 3rd Australian recipient of this award.
Let’s celebrate Mary who stands tall in the face of those who try to silence her, and all of us 👏

A well-deserved journalistic award to the courageous Mary Kostakidis — who is fighting off a Zionist attack on her, and on free speech in Australia.
