I left Paris for three days, to pass an important exam. for us southerners, Paris is not always pleasant. but after my exam, I took myself relaxing with one of my best friends.
we have chosen the "Luxembourg Garden". but first, a little hot chocolate in front of the Pantheon with a view over part of the Iron Lady, "Eiffel tower". even further, she is still beautiful
Panthéon : this monument is now destined to meet great people who marked the history of France. |
Now the visit!!
the first thing that is striking is the difference in atmosphere between the city and the garden. past the gate, you enter a world of peace and relaxation.
Here are a few discoveries that I enjoyed. when we are back in the garden, we saw a rather special status.
The Scream, the Writing (Le Cri, l'Ecrit) is a work of French artist Fabrice Hyber. This is a bronze sculpture symbolizing slavery and his abolition. Founded in 2007, she is installed in the Luxembourg Gardens
"She consists of three ring-shaped elements, joined to each other to form a string. The lower ring seems half buried under the ground, the second form a complete oval and closed and the last is a split ring on one of her side.
The work has two faces: one of these faces is curved and painted a dark color. The other is flat and covered with ribs red and green on a white background. The latter also includes words embossed on the surface, which address the theme of slavery"
Le Cri, l'Ecrit |
"souffre, disparaitre, empêcher,..." the words written are "suffering, disappear, preventing". there are also words like "death, torture, ..." |
we arrived at the Palais du Luxembourg
He is the site of the French Senate, which was installed in 1799 in the palace built in the early seventeenth century, as a result of the Regency of Marie de Medici.
I had the chance to visit the Senate, a few years ago. it is a wonder, for his part cultural, and architectural. one of the pride of Paris.
