This UNESCO World Heritage Site began as a humble hunting lodge before becoming the home of kings you visit the state apartments and the striking Hall of Mirrors a 240-foot-long glass- and chandelier-filled corridor that pays tribute to France's political The recently revitalized Queen's Apartments And no visit to Versailles is complete without a turn in its lavish gardens such as The Four Seasons Fountain and the Mirror Pool Take a tour of Napoleon Bonaparte's last home in France before his exile Chateau Malmaison is less a palace and more a home than Versailles Active Pursuits: Cycle your way around the Chateau de Versailles; you can rent bikes onsite Insider Tips: Various tour options to visit Versailles run from 5 to 6.5 hours If this is the final night onboard your ship you may find it moves deeper into the city to the port of disembarkation while passengers are off touring you are welcome to stay onboard and enjoy the move Monet's garden in Giverny on a Seine River cruise (Photo: Viking) Vernon's main draw is its proximity to Giverny where impressionist painter Claude Monet created his beautiful gardens It's known for its half-timbered buildings the oldest of which dates to the 12th century Giverny and Vernon: Monet's expansive colorful garden is the focal point of a visit here The artist spent 43 years creating and maintaining the garden Clos Normand is home to flowers and plants from all over the world and the Japanese-inspired water garden is across the road There's also a massive Monet-themed gift shop visit the Musee du Vernon to see two of Monet's works (interestingly none of his works are shown in Giverny): "Nymphaea," 1908 (painted in his garden) and "Effet de soleil couchant a Pourville" (the cliffs of Pourville at sunset); stay to enjoy the Norman ambience in this historic building Another plus: The tourist office is located on the ground level Giverny and Vernon: As in many stops along the Seine The ride here is through pastoral farmland and quaint village streets Insider Tips: Monet is buried at Giverny's Eglise Sainte-Radegonde de Giverny Honor him with a visit to his flower-festooned grave but also wander into the church itself; it's serene Tauck offers painting classes onboard following your visit to Giverny, allowing you to explore your own version of impressionism. Gate 1 cruises on the Seine give you a full day in the region with morning tours to Giverny and free time in the afternoon to explore Vernon independently and at a bit lower price than many other European river cruise options Les Andelys consists of a fishing village and a larger town which are separated by a marsh (and 30-minute walk) Ships dock in the smaller Le Petit Andelys a charming port with half-timbered houses and It's the perfect place for a low-key day Things to Do in Les Andelys: Walk up the mountain to the ruins of Chateau Gaillard for the incomparable views of the Seine Valley and its white cliffs Active Pursuits in Les Andelys: Walk along the riverside towpath and through the village Kayaking on the nearby Eure River is possible either independently or through a ship’s excursion Insider Tips: The range of interesting shops in Le Petit Andely is surprising and worth the stroll through town Adventures by Disney offers a few chartered Seine River cruises with everything you’d expect when the Disney name is attached the Disney team offers lessons in making macarons onboard the ship following excursions The largest city in Normandy and its capital, Rouen dates back to the 12th century with a heritage that spotlights the disparate trio of Joan of Arc It's a favorite stop on any Seine River cruise canonized as a saint of the Catholic Church as a young girl with a belief in the divine guidance of God led the French army to success during a Hundred Years' War battle at Orleans Monet's connection with Rouen lies primarily with his fascination with the facade of the Gothic-Norman Cathedrale Notre-Dame; he painted a series of oils as she wrote in "My Life in France," "the most exciting meal of her life" -- which also inspired her passion for French cuisine Things to Do in Rouen: A walking tour of Rouen's medieval quarter takes in the city's most iconic sites such as Notre Dame Cathedral (buried inside is Richard the Lionheart) and the Gros Horloge astronomical clock A statue in the Place du Vieux-Marche marks the spot where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake presents an odd contrast to the square's otherwise historic ambience particularly cheese and apples; available ship’s tours might feature a visit to a Norman farm with plenty of opportunities for tasting Active Pursuits in Rouen: Cycling on towpaths lining the Seine Insider Tips: The farthest any ocean ship can get up the Seine is Rouen; it can be exciting to see both riverboats and ocean-going vessels in port If you can’t get enough of impressionist art, CroisiEurope has Seine River cruises dedicated to the art and artists with afternoon lectures as the ship sails to the next port Honfleur is so picturesque it has been memorialized by impressionist artists like Georges Seurat Its appeal is not just its medieval ambience half-timbered Norman-style buildings and cobbled streets; it's also the light While Honfleur has some historic attractions it's also a perfect port for simply strolling through the lanes sipping coffee at a sidewalk cafe or doing a bit of shopping Things to Do in Honfleur: On a walking tour It was built entirely out of wood in the 15th century The Eugene Boudin Museum honors the impressionist painter who was a native of Honfleur Active Pursuits: Stroll around the old harbor front and make sure to explore backstreets Insider Tips: Honfleur's only downside is that very few river ships can dock here There may be an hour-long bus transfer to Honfleur this is a port of call for both ocean and river travelers (via day trip) These itineraries obviously offer less time in Paris Omaha Beach in Normandy (Photo: ho visto nina volare/Flickr) More than almost any other port of call on a Seine River itinerary, Normandy is a reason that many cruisers book this particular river cruise in the first place Normandy is securely implanted in our minds for the role that Allied troops played in D-Day The invasion of German-occupied France is chronicled in numerous places from landing beaches to museums and cemeteries Beyond its prominent place in World War II the region was settled by Vikings in the 10th century and played a central role in the War of 1066 when the British attempted to seize France What's a delightful surprise about Normandy is its beautiful rural countryside along with its beaches Plenty of locals and travelers alike come here to swim and sunbathe -- even if rusted out World War II pontoons still dot the beaches Things to Do in Normandy: Many Seine River cruise ships offer two full-day tours: one geared toward Americans The American tours visit Juno and Gold beaches which is where the D-Day Museum is located There's also a stop at Omaha Beach and a visit to the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer Lunch is generally provided as part of the ship’s excursion and there's free time to wander through the meticulously maintained gravesites This is a case where the ship's tours really are incredibly well-organized with exceptional guides particularly on the American tour in Arromanches where you can stroll through the pleasant seaside town and buy Normandy souvenirs Breton-striped blue shirts and Calvados (the region's famous apple brandy) Active Pursuits in Normandy: As incongruous as it may seem you can pack a beach towel and a swimsuit and go for a swim at Arromanches and Omaha Beach Insider Tips: No one tells you how beautiful the countryside is in Normandy so that portion of the long drive to the D-Day beaches is very pleasant It’s wise to bring a charging cord and spare phone charging battery because you’ll be away from the ship and snapping photos for the duration of your excursion This website is using a security service to

sets up Roglic for overall classification in eight-day race who blew the bunch to pieces on the short late climb was ushered through to claim the stage victory as a reward for his efforts while his more decorated teammates raised their arms just behind Despite many predictions of a bunch finishers the pure sprinters were dropped on the climb and the Jumbo-Visma trio ended up finishing 20 seconds clear of anyone else Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) attacked late on to place fourth at 19 seconds with the first main bunch finishing three seconds later and riders coming home in dribs and drabs after that Most of Roglič’s rivals were in the main group but defending champion Max Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) lost closer to 40 seconds After the threat of crosswinds fizzled out earlier on the 160km route starting and finishing in Mantes-la-Ville the stage seemed to be heading for a bunch sprint especially after a calm first ascent of the Côte de Breuil-Bois-Robert on the finishing circuit on the approach to the second ascent of the 1.2km Jumbo lit things up through an exposed section of road Rohan Dennis and Mike Teunissen accelerated in the crosswind section and started to split the bunch with Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorious) and Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) among those taken out of the picture Nathan Van Hooydonck then took over and went full-gas onto the climb where the already-stretched bunch started to explode Laporte then took it up and the damage went up another level With Van Aert and Roglič in his wheel the only other rider able to follow was Zdenek Stybar for QuickStep-AlphaVinyl whose leader Fabio Jakobsen was being distanced from the second group along with his fellow sprinters and Roglič to head over the top in an extraordinary team trio Six kilometres separated them from the finish with a headwind section on the flat followed by a dip downhill and then the final run through town The three of them went all-in and turned relentlessly all the way to the line while the damage was so great that the main bunch behind lacked numbers and any really ability to chase cohesively As they entered the home straight with 20 seconds in hand the only question mark was who they’d pick for the stage win and 4 seconds on the line for the top three Roglič could have helped himself to an even greater head start over his GC rivals but the domestique was granted his time in the spotlight They told me in the final kilometre that it was for me so it’s really a nice gift for me,” Laporte said “I’ve won my first Paris-Nice stage and I’m in the yellow jersey If someone had told me that at the start of the day I wouldn’t have believed it The work we’ve done has paid off.” Laporte takes the first yellow jersey of the 2022 Paris-Nice as the overall leader with Roglič second overall at four seconds and Van Aert third at six seconds who was in the driving seat at last year’s race until crashes ruined his hopes on the final day takes a significant head-start before the crucial stages even begin he’s 25 seconds ahead of Latour and 28 seconds ahead of most of the other favourites like Adam Yates (Ineos) Schachmann suffered and now trails Roglic by 42 seconds with Bora-Hansgrohe possibly set to hand leadership over to Aleksandr Vlasov The 160km opening stage didn’t start in Paris and took the riders no closer to Nice with a circular route starting and finishing in Mantes-la-Ville The terrain was largely flat but for the late double ascent of the category-3 Côte de Beuil-Bois-Robert (1.2km at 6 per cent) making it hard to call between the sprinters and the attackers The day started out in calm fashion with a two-man breakaway consisting of Matthew Holmes (Lotto Soudal) and Aimé De Gendt (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert) Holmes helped himself to maximum mountains points at the early pair of cat-3 climbs to take the polka-dot jersey for stage 2 but it was quickly apparent there was no hope of them getting anything more out of the day There was a mild wind coming from the north east A big acceleration then wiped out the remaining gap and saw the race come back together some 73km from the finish What ensued was a long period of tension without any real fireworks The major teams jostled for position at the front and the speed was high as everyone remained on high alert but the wind wasn’t really strong enough to split the field into echelons there was a change of direction as the route turned almost 180 degrees and tracked north back to Mantes-la-Ville the riders felt the headwind and a nature break was called A few riders took the opportunity to launch a fresh breakaway with Frederik Frison (Lotto Soudal) going clear and gaining company in Alexis Gougeard (B&B Hotels) and Yevgeny Fedorov (Astana Qazaqstan) They opened a lead of 1:15 as they rode towards the finish town and took on the Côte de Beuil-Bois-Robert for the first time with 30km to go The peloton made their way up in calm fashion with no indication of the carnage that was to come continued through the finish line with 17km to go and then lit the touch paper on the second approach to the climb Rohan Dennis and Mike Teunissen lifted the pace and it was clearly a serious move as Van Aert was already in second wheel The pair strung out the bunch and clipped a group off the back - including Colbrelli and Hayter - before Van Hooydonck took over ahead of the climb The Dutchman gave it another huge push as the road kicked up but it was Laporte’s subsequent effort that exploded the group beyond anyone’s wildest predictions It was amazing enough to see them go away as a quartet with Stybar but soon even he couldn’t follow and it turned into a three-man Jumbo team time trial turning consistently to drive home their advantage An organised chase might have scuppered them but there were no teams with big numbers and the trio hit 20 seconds and from there it was a case of who wins the Slovenian made way for Laporte in the last 100 metres The Frenchman patted his leader on the back and the three of them rose from their saddles in unison to celebrate an extraordinary victory that will live long in the memory Patrick FletcherSocial Links

Publication date 11 April 2022 | 20:51 ICT After the financial blues of the Covid pandemic, the French saxophone maker favoured by American jazz greats celebrates its 100th birthday looking to expand further in Asia and the US. Selmer experienced two difficult years after the pandemic began in 2020, the company’s executive chairman Thierry Oriez tells AFP. “The Covid crisis affected us together with our customers” because “the world of music stopped”, whether that meant shows or conservatory classes. But now Oriez looks to the future, with sales brimming once more. “(I’m) convinced we could do more in the United States.” Around 90 percent of sales are international, with China accounting for one-fifth of them ahead of Japan, South Korea and the United States. The company did not provide any sales figures. While order books are full, Selmer, like many other companies, faces recruitment difficulties while Covid-19 continues to pose absenteeism problems. The company was founded by clarinet player Henri Selmer in 1885 but produced its first saxophone in 1922. Selmer’s instruments have been played by jazz legends including John Coltrane, Stan Getz and Sonny Rollins. The family business was sold in 2018 by its heirs to European private equity group Argos Soditec. A delivery subsidiary for Asia was established in 2020. Oriez took over the business in July from Jerome Selmer, a great-grandson of Henri Selmer. The instruments are made at a factory in Mantes-La-Ville, just west of Paris. The company also owns a laboratory that works with musicians to develop new models. Finishing touches and assembly of Selmer’s Axos series, a new collection less expensive than the company’s other instruments, are completed in China. An alto saxophone costs €3,150 ($3,430) while a tenor is worth €4,150 ($4,500). Oriez says the new collection “allows us to be more aggressive in the Chinese market”. While the Mantes-La-Ville factory has motorised precision machinery to craft some of the 700 pieces that make up each instrument, a large part of the work is still carried out by hand. Artisans cut sheets of brass, use blowtorches to bend them into shape, mount the keys on the tube, polish the instrument and engrave Selmer’s logo on it. Engraver Morgane Duhamel spots an imperfection and adds by hand “a small engraving that will be personalised and will offer the customer a unique instrument”. Eric Bruel, who makes the saxophones’ horns by turning the brass tubes on a mandrel, said the search for new tones “has an influence on the treatment of the metal: the reheating temperature with the blowtorch, it will be more or less strong, more or less long”. “Selmer has always walked the line between modernity regarding tools and the other slightly Amish side: we still do the forging, the welding and polishing by hand,” Bruel said. “In almost 30 years at the company, I’ve seen many changes in tools, the families of instruments, the musical evolution with young saxophone players who do not necessarily have the same sounds as their elders,” he said.
