The chapel and the ≪pavilion≫ in the back of the plot were kept, restored, and extended. The main operation is the addition of the floor on top of the chapel, rising it to 2.10 m, that way we are able to increase the number of companions that are hosted in the building. demonstrating clearly which part is new and which part is restored On the ground floor the community thrift shop is installed providing work to the companions and good to the city On the upper floors are designed 10 apartments for the companions You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email but the rest of the region is also involved in the ballet of pyrotechnic shows This year, fireworks will be fired from the banks of the Marne on July 14, 2024 at around 10.30pm, organized jointly with the towns of Saint-Maurice and Maisons-Alfort Rendezvous near the Charenton bridge on the Quai Ferdinand Saguet And why not take the opportunity to visit the Val-de-Marne Refer your establishment, click herePromote your event, click here Eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica exceeded expectations for operating profit last year increased by 0.5 percentage points to 17 percent the Franco-Italian company announced Wednesday in Charenton-le-Pont which owns brands such as Ray-Ban and Oakley is the global market leader for eyeglasses Revenue rose by 4.4 percent to €26.5 billion Net profit increased by 3 percent to €2.4 billion The dividend for the past fiscal year is to be set at €3.95 per share Management aims to increase profitability to 19 to 20 percent in the coming years Welcome to IPE Real Assets.

As attention turns to rebuilding the Gothic cathedral significantly damaged by a fire Viollet-le-Duc's incomparable notes and drawings will give contemporary architects a guidebook to how he approached the job during the mid-19th century an expert on Viollet-le-Duc at the MAP historical monument archives Viollet-le-Duc was a relentless worker with a knack for details and the habit of studiously holding onto what he produced The renovation he undertook at Notre Dame lasted from 1845 until 1865 "He left us a very substantial documentation We have the letters and the work diary where he was writing day after day everything that was happening on the building site," Forgeret told the Associated Press in an interview Huge maps with blueprints and watercolor drawings of architectural details spill out of drawers in the archives One map is a color-coded key of each stone set in the renovation work Viollet-le-Duc oversaw Viollet-le-Duc also designed the iconic spire that so dramatically collapsed in a ball of fire on Monday Contemporary restorers will have more than Viollet-le-Duc's drawings to consult since numerous studies of Notre Dame have been done in the years Even as construction crews work to shore up the weakened building there is speculation of which version of the Notre Dame spire will be the model for the rebuilding Viollet-le-Duc has sometimes been derided for being too interventionist in his restorations; the pointy spire certainly was his alone "The spire that he built was a spire of the 19th century "It's a creation from the 19th century by all his science and knowledge of the Middle Ages." French President Emmanuel Macron has set a goal of having Notre Dame rebuilt within five years which would be in time for when Paris hosts the 2024 Summer Olympics Viollet-le-Duc would have considered that an impressive feat "We are talking about 20 years in the 19th century for the cathedral to be completely restored challenge mentors with strict demands for rules and rigorous spiritual paths “It’s my first Lent; I want to do things right!” Sylvie Ferrand was somewhat taken aback when Ophélie a 19-year-old woman she is preparing for baptism in her parish in Épernay brought up the subject of Lent during only their second meeting “She wanted me to tell her what she was allowed to eat or not at what time she should pray,” Sylvie recalled the young catechumen first turned to the Internet where a flood of advice—sometimes radical or contradictory—abounds especially worried about the idea that she absolutely had to fast every day Ophélie reflects the broader trend among catechumens and Christians of her generation—strongly influenced by social media and often seeking significant gestures and clear rules "We are seeing a growing demand for radicality during Lent as evidenced by the success of Exodus 90 (a 90-day program with a strong ascetic dimension imported from the United States and aimed at men which has gained traction over the past six or eight years," confirmed Father Philippe Verdin a pioneering online prayer retreat developed by the Dominicans of the French province since 2003 “This thirst is often a hallmark of converts who are very meticulous about their Christian practice,” the Dominican continued with its strict rules during Ramadan,” particularly regarding fasting—a practice that is also increasingly popular today for personal development and health reasons they are surrounded by believers of other religions such as Islam or Asian faiths,” observed Geneviève Pasquier who mentors catechumens in a parish in eastern Paris “That’s why they feel the need to understand what sets them apart.” According to Father Verdin Lent is often perceived as a time “to show God that one is serious about faith and not just going through the motions.” It is not surprising that new converts want to fully immerse themselves in it even if they do not always fully understand what the church expects of them during this period “Many catechumens are not quite at that stage yet,” explained Caroline Dewavrin a member of the baptism preparation team for student ministry in Caen and the Holy Spirit are—so inviting them to observe Lent would be premature.” That is why the first year of catechumenate—preparation for baptism—focuses on the fundamentals of faith “We clear the ground,” explained one mentor “They are generally very curious and receptive.” “I was discovering everything last year,” confirmed Enola a 20-year-old business student who will be baptized during the upcoming Easter Vigil “I’m going to try to draw closer to God by living simple things,” she promised already setting two resolutions: “Reading the Psalms and setting up parental controls on my phone to spend less time on it.” he viewed Lent mainly in terms of “rules” and “efforts to make” to become a better person these concerns faded as he discovered “Christian freedom.” “Each person must exercise their own discernment to move toward Christ,” he says as his baptism approaches who coordinates the catechumenate at Angers Cathedral Lent is primarily an opportunity to “intensify” ordinary Christian life In the small groups formed at the beginning of the year—typically four catechumens and three mentors—the emphasis is placed on fraternity and prayer sometimes aided by apps like Hozana or Prions en Église a French-language Catholic devotional magazine while encouraging as many other parishioners as possible to join their journey a mentor in Fruges, a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France also emphasized prayer to “move beyond over-intellectualization” and to deepen knowledge of Jesus “I want to explore this aspect of prayer more,” confirmed Frédérique who has also set herself “quite a few small goals”: no meat logging off from social media—”instead of going on Facebook I’ll go on YouPray!”—and reading the Gospel of Luke “The idea is to remove something from my life to align with Jesus’ journey of dying and rising for us,” explained this mother of a family whose husband and children are already baptized and who will receive baptism herself at Easter “This first Lent will be very powerful because on March 9 I have the Rite of Election,” one of the key steps in preparing for baptism though she anticipates that she “might fumble a little.” catechumens' questions and thirst for radicality unsettle their mentors “I find fasting difficult,” admitted Tiphaine who acknowledged that she is “less comfortable with the meaning of this practice.” who feels outpaced even within her own family: “My daughters talk to me about pre-Lent cold showers… I had never heard of that!” she exclaims What does it bring to their relationship with God?” she asks Her questions illustrate the renewed interest in Lent among many Christians as well as a certain generational disconnect the best approach is through personal witness and then they decide,” he explained regarding fasting “It’s an opportunity for us Christians to reflect on our own practices—how we live Lent and what we pass on,” he observes “Almsgiving is often the most neglected of the three pillars!” +374 10 650015 Making habitable: from the monumental to the intimate How to put humans back into a prefabricated office architecture? How to offer each inhabitant individuality from the repetitive facade of the 1970s? How to turn a thick office building into personalized housing?  Here, the place is strategic: to the south, on the Quai des Carrières, the highway A4 and its noise very high, but also beautiful distant views of the Seine. In the North, the heart of islet, with its views on the villa Bergerac. © Michel DenancéThe transformation keeps the spirit of the place while optimizing the qualities of living, between distant views and domesticity of the heart of islet. Floor PlanThe two orientations of the building thus offer two ways of living. Côté Quai, individual vegetated loggias with views of the distance and, in the heart of the island, in the privacy of a garden on courtyard. © Michel DenancéFrom the repetitive to the individual: the loggias on the Quai des Carrières To house the building, the facade of the Carrières quay, 260 meters long and oriented to the South, is redesigned. Prefabricated concrete models are retained and existing windows are removed. © Michel DenancéA new façade of architectural concrete is positioned 70 centimeters set back from the existing façade. Its finish in wood cladding participates in the domesticity of the facade. This shrinkage regulates the solar contributions (by the effect of sun breeze generated by the existing). It gives a new identity to the building by the depth and the random rhythm of the loggias following the demolition of a large number of prefabricated concrete elements. DiagramIn order to comply with acoustic regulations, the windows on the street, in aluminum, are equipped with triple glazing. The vegetation of the facade is permitted by its orientation but also by the regulated irrigation of the planters thanks to the recovery of the rainwater on the terrace.  © Michel DenancéThe garden in heart of islet On the courtyard side, a simple principle of demolition in North part draws a new heart of islet. Thus, the distribution of housing, the vis-à-vis between the facades and the solar contributions but also the installation of a collective garden are optimized. © Michel DenancéMedium-growth plant species (2.5 meters maximum) have been planted to filter the views without reducing solar contributions. The apartments on the ground floor have small terraces that open onto the garden. are decorated with balconies for each of the dwellings The panels and panels are treated in bronze-lacquered aluminum He and his family have been planning the move for the last couple of years But after Friday’s deadly hostage-taking at a kosher supermarket they know well made his weekly visit to the kosher bakery next to the Hyper Cacher supermarket “about five minutes before” the hostage taking “It’sthe first time we’ve been affected personally by an antisemitic attack,” he said Like other members of the French Jewish community he was shocked by past attacks such as the 2010 rampage by jihadist Mohamed Merad concrete.” The Freoas only live a few minutes by car from Porte de Vincennes A variety of reasons convinced Freoa to make the aliyah, as Jewish emigration is known. “There’s the weather and the cheaper cost of living in Israel. But every time there’s unrest in the Middle East, it has an effect in France.” Last July when Israel’s war on Gaza spilled on to French streets “Death to Jews.” “When I went to buy cigarettes I felt the tension with Muslims,” said Freoa are looking forward to the move to a beachside house in Agamin near Netanya He and his wife have a sales business and he is confident that he can carry on in Israel I’ll be fine – I can work anywhere,” he says He played down the difficulties of moving to Israel: “We know what to expect But the main thing is that our kids are OK.” added: “Aliyah has got much easier over the past 10 years We don’t feel safe like before.” He says a lot of his Jewish friends are considering emigrating now Would he not have his mind changed by the French prime minister who in a speech to parliament on Tuesday condemned antisemitism in no uncertain terms and recognised French failings in the past Valls has repeated since Friday that “France would not be France” without French Jews He took on Dieudonné [the controversial comedian] but what will happen after the march?” Freoa said referring to the four million people who took to the streets in France on Sunday in solidarity with the 17 victims of the three jihadis Look at the schools that refused to observe the minute of silence There’s only one person taking advantage of it and that’s Marine le Pen (the extreme-right Front National leader) “In a few days it will be like nothing happened In two months we’ll be called filthy Jews again.” EssilorLuxotticaEssilorLuxottica Company FactsHQ LocationCharenton-le-Pont FranceEmployee Count190000CEOFrancesco MilleriRevenue€28.07bnCompany ProfileEssilorLuxottica the company has grown to become a pivotal player in the optical industry providing innovative solutions in vision care and eyewear Under the leadership of CEO Francesco Milleri EssilorLuxottica aims to address the world's vision needs through a comprehensive portfolio of products and services that span from prescription glasses to sunglasses With a robust retail and wholesale presence the company serves a diverse customer base worldwide EssilorLuxottica continues to push the boundaries of innovation in vision health by leveraging advanced technologies and maintaining a strong commitment to quality This approach ensures they remain at the forefront of the industry meeting the evolving needs of customers and setting new standards in optical care This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page You don't have permission to access the page you requested What is this page?The website you are visiting is protected.For security reasons this page cannot be displayed is a scientific outcome of the International Co-Sponsored Meeting on Culture "Culture and heritage have a key role in understanding the causes and impacts of climate change and in designing responses climate- resilient pathways consistent with the aims of the 2015 Paris Agreement and other international agreements relevant to climate change The role of culture and heritage in addressing climate change is especially important within the context of human and ecosystem (including biodiversity) inter-connectedness;
