Dernier jour dans la vallée de la Loire avant de rejoindre Troyes en Champagne.

La première partie de la journée a été consacrée à la visite d'Orléans où l'on peut aussi voir un certain nombre de maisons à pans de bois (photo 1).

Après la visite de la ville, direction Saint-benoît-sur-Loire et son abbaye qui abrite les reliques de Benoît de Nursie fondateur de l'ordre bénédictin (photo 3). En chemin, un arrêt au château de Sully-sur-Loire (photo 2).

Et enfin, un arrêt à Germigny-des-Prés où se situe l'oratoire carolingien datant du IXe siècle et sa mosaïque remarquable.(photo 4).

The first part of the day was occupied visiting Orléans where several half-timbered houses (photo 1).

After visiting the city, direction Saint-benoît-sur-Loire and its abbey which houses the relics of Benedict of Nursia, founder of the Benedictine order (photo 3). Along the way, a stop at the Castle of Sully-sur-Loire (photo 2).

And finally, a stop at Germigny-des-Prés where the Carolingian oratory dating from the 9th century and its remarkable mosaic are located. (photo 4).

🇫🇷 Grand Tour de l'Ouest de la France - Jour 9 - 07 mars 2016

Première journée dans la vallée de la Loire et ses nombreux châteaux...

Tours, c'est la ville de Martin, ce légionnaire romain du IVe siècle devenu évêque de Tours et célèbre pour l'épisode du partage de son manteau.

C'est dans la basilique à son nom que ce trouve son tombeau (photo 1).

En longeant la Loire, vers Blois, on peut faire ce beau panorama sur Amboise et son château royal. (photo 2)

A Blois, après le lunch de midi, c'est la visite du château royal mais pour ce billet, c'est plutôt une jolie vue sur la ville que j'ai choisie (photo 3).

Et pour clore la journée, une visite au château de Chambord ne pouvait manquer au programme. De loin, le plus impressionnant de ceux visités. L'élément architectural le plus sensationnel est le fameux escalier à double hélice.

Pour tout savoir sur cet escalier remarquable : ➡️https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/l-esprit-des-lieux-la-chronique-de-l-ete/l-escalier-helicoidal-de-chambord-symbole-de-puissance-1238750

Après cette ultime visite, il était temps de se rendre à l'hôtel à Meung-sur-Loire avant une ultime étape dans la vallée de La Loire avant de remonter vers la Champagne et se rapprocher de la Belgique.

Bonne soirée! 👋 🙂

🇬🇧 Grand Tour of Western France - Day 9 - March 7, 2016

First day in the Loire Valley and its many castles...

Tours is the city of Martin, a oman legionary from the 4th century who became bishop of Tours and famous for the episode of sharing his cloth.

➡️ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_of_Tours

His tomb is located in the basilica bearing his name (photo 1).

Following the Loire, towards Blois, you can take this beautiful panorama of Amboise and its royal castle. (photo 2)

In Blois, after lunch, a visit to the royal castle was on the program but for this post, I choosed a nice view of the city (photo 3).

And to end the day, a visit to the Castle of Chambord was obligatory. By far the most impressive of those I visited. The most sensational architectural element is the famous double helix staircase.

After this last visit, it was time to go to the hotel in Meung-sur-Loire before a final day in the Loire Valley before heading towards Champagne and getting closer to Belgium.

Have a nice evening! 👋 🙂

The last century stored its atrocities in ink, paper, and film.
You couldn’t delete them quietly.
Today we document everything —
inside systems owned by people who profit from the chaos.
The internet made memory a battlefield.
The digital world makes history editable.
Don’t expect another 60 years of stability.
Hope for six.
If stability ever returns….

Re: erasure at historical sites, national parks, etc. in the United States:

Reading this article about the removal of a slavery-related exhibit at one of the historic sites in Philly - at the house where George and Martha Washington trafficked in people they enslaved... and it has me thinking...

I wonder how hard it would be to take the old exhibit text that is removed, create a zine/brochure out of it, and just literally start handing out materials on the street outside of modified sites.

I know there are programs to save the original texts of exhibits/sites. Does anyone know if there are any programs working to provide that text on the ground, near the exhibits themselves?

Please share if you have any leads, and feel free to boost.
