Attention à la marche
Depuis une quinzaine, le quartier cathédrale voit ses pavements refaits en partie. La pierre souffre.
Quelle ne fut pas ma surprise de voir lundi dernier que l'ancien escalier du restaurant avait disparu. Oui, il sortait de nulle part, deux marches en plein trottoir, très dangereux pour les distraits recherchant par exemple le cochon parmi les gargouilles de la cathédrale, ou pour les vélos qui foncent de plus en plus vite sur les trottoirs troyens.
Ah mais que nenni, le lendemain celui-ci resurgissait flambant neuf ! J'espère qu'un énorme bac de fleurs va éviter l'obstacle neuf.
Find old shot, ASAP :)
VéloVoie Paris Troyes Prague sous la canicule
Photo prise semaine précedant la canicule.
De tous les arbres plantés en début d'année sur la VéloVoie Européenne, un seul était déjà deseché avant la canicule, celui-ci essaie de survivre, les services techniques de la ville ont probablement fait le necessaire depuis 10 jours. Pourtant l'eau n'est pas loin, il manque juste le seau à la Samaritaine.

CLAIRVAUX 2015
Since two weeks, the frequenting of my blog have increased with more than 150 visitors per day (americans and britans), thanks :)
In 2015, Aube (in Champagne) celebrates the 900th anniversary of the foundation of Clairvaux's abbey. This week our city will be live an cistercian hour with the international colloque, (in Troyes and Clairvaux site)(program here). I added the link for it (In the right column of my blog). Last Saturday I visited this gigantic exhibition in Troyes. The museography is well (New technologies, colors, entirely translated in English ...) The Web site is up to the event. Free entrance, closed mondays. I bought the books, they are cheap and chic.
Take a pullover to visit :(
Pour les prochaines expos, pensez à mettre quelques dates écrites sur le film :( car pour les visiteurs étrangers c'est peu parlant.

Intricate
la complexité du "Beau XVI ème siècle" à Troyes.
This week I shall have wanted to participate in the challenge on the web site Daily Post. I could find 3 modern intricate pictures. In few days, I just might think about it !
What does the word “intricate” mean to you ?
1 –After the great fire in 1521 a part of our town was rapidly built again. Here it’s a famous street. The cats could jump from houses to houses. In this little street 3 houses were missing to the right. Nowadays the architects reconstituted the old timber farming on new buildings.
2 – « Jubé or round screen » was built (1510-1515) with “stones of TONERRE” by the Master Mason Jean GAILDE. It is an architectural exploit because ironworks are hidden in the masonry. Formerly it was totally polychromatic as we can see some green walls. As the tradition the builder is buried under one and on the gravestone is burnt “the happy resurrection without fear of being crushed”. On the rood screen a crucifix and new statues was added after the Revolution. The narrators climbed on it to sing... In the countryside other one was built in oak and the Virgin Life is sculptured towards the chancel and the whole Passion story towards the nave.
3 – This Stained glasses window was created in 1500 by Jean I MACADRE perhaps. Here part of Jesse Tree (family tree of Jesus). Five generations was painted in the first medieval representations as our cathedral (or Chartres, or Paris …). But from Luke we can find 43 generations between Jesse to Jesus. Look the intricate tree, every ancestry of Jesus get out in the heart of the flowers. The corollas are often red and orange or white for the Virgin. The red or blue glasses are often engraved. We’ll send it later. You can see more than 40 items in our countryside, the laster created in 2011.
