Heads up: a strict security perimeter will be set up around Notre-Dame-de-Paris for its opening ceremonies.
Best to stay clear of the area from Dec4, on both sides of the island!
To watch the event (on screens) access from 3pm Saturday. To watch the first mass, access 8am Sunday.

Super important information right here ⬇️ #Paris #NotreDame

[Agnes C. Poirier @AgnesCPoirier]

Ready, steady... go! From tomorrow, the online booking system will be operational on #NotreDame's website: https://t.co/B6vehdl9rW
I can't imagine how many of us behind our screen trying to get "a ticket" for the first vespers this Sunday...

[Oneworld Publications @OneworldNews]

To mark the Notre-Dame re-opening for visitors this coming weekend, the ebook edition of Notre-Dame: The Soul of France by @AgnesCPoirier has been fully updated to include the rebuilding of the cathedral 🇫🇷

Any ski operators out there still offering holidays in Bjelasnica? For @TeleSkiSnow and need a package asap. Most appear to have withdrawn Bosnia as an option ...

@IsabellaMNoble Me too! See you there x

@Lorna_Explorer @sjcgillespie I’ve been on a Threads for a while and just yesterday took the plunge on BlueSky. I get the impression more writers and editors are there, if only because of its blatant similarity in layout/design (but happily, not content) to here.

[Nicola Williams @tripalong]

@kerryawalker @lonelyplanet @TravWriters I love the concept of this book - and SUCH a joy to write. Look forward to seeing my own copy 💗

Keir Starmer will today become the first British prime minister since Winston Churchill to commemorate Armistice Day in Paris. Churchill is pictured with General Charles de Gaulle on November 11th, 1944 - less than three months after the city's liberation from Nazi occupation.

[Nicola Williams @tripalong]

And a symbolic reminder of common values shared by #Paris2024 and @notredameparis - respect, friendship, fraternity, peace, joy.

[Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris @notredameparis]

Hier, @TonyEstanguet a remis au nom de @Paris2024 la cloche des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques à Monseigneur Ribadeau Dumas, recteur de la cathédrale.

Un moment symbolique autour des valeurs communes aux JOP et à Notre-Dame : Respect, Amitié, Fraternité, Paix, Joie.

"The footpath of lava rocks that I picked my way across with a guide back in July is already long gone, drowned in a new fireball sea of red lava that crashed down from Etna’s peak just weeks after I left."

@skipedia @PDS_officiel The biggest increase was last season. A day pass for Les Gets-Morzine is now €47 (€46 last season, €42 season before). Paid €509 for my LG-Morzine season pass with 40% early-bird discount (€449 in 2022/23 - can’t find exact 23/24 price). Nothing for it but to ⛷️lots 😉😎

[Nicola Williams @tripalong]

Can vouch for #ski passes taking a bigger chunk out of the old ski budget this winter. I've just bought my season pass for @PDS_officiel #PortesduSoleil and yes, OUCH

[The Ski Podcast @theskipodcast]

The average price of day lift passes in the French Alps is up 4.6% for 24/25, from €42 to €43.58 #skistat
