prudente’ when entering some communes.  whilst not one you need to learn from the Code de la route (French road safety laws) is related to driving.  It is awarded by the ‘Prévention Routière’ an association that promotes road safety across the country.  The association gives the signs to communes that have taken an active part in attempting to reduce road accidents in their borders.  Read

underneath the writing determining the level of the award received Communes can receive a sign for “road improvements prevention initiatives aimed at local residents and staff training,” said the association’s Regional Director in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Philippe Surot He made the comments during a recent awards ceremony where 11 communes in the region were given a sign.  Marsannay-la-Côte (Côte-d’Or) was one of these communes.  “We have reduced the speed limit in areas that have been drawn to our attention by local residents, particularly near schools,” said the commune’s mayor Jean-Michel Verpillot (quoted in France3) “This was a joint effort with the municipal police But we have also provided information to motorists,” he added.  Another recipient at the awards evening was the commune of Montfleur (Jura) Although the village has just 160 inhabitants a major secondary road passes through it.  “Some motorists avoid the chicanes we have installed to drive at 140 km/h right through the village,” said mayor Jean-Claude Nevers.  He decided to add a permanent ‘reward light’ on the road.  “‘The light is always red and only turns green when the driver or lorry has complied with the 30 km/h speed limit,” he said.  Read more: Photo: new road hazard for drivers in Brittany… a wallaby The awards ceremony took place in Gevrey-Chambertin a town of 3,000 people with two blue

idea is not to annoy people… Road safety cannot be fully achieved if there are no penalties that is part of the system,” said Mr Lucand.  The city is also building 3km of cycle paths If you believe

protect frogs Family members argue the money was actually a gift Understanding the criteria and their durations for non-residents your father Nicolas is a legend in the bodyboarding world 2x European champ and multiple French champ What was it like to grow up with such an inspiration by your side Ethan Capdeville: I had the chance to grow up in the world of bodyboarding spending all my Summers at my father’s surf school I spent a lot of time surfing in front of all those guys who inspired me a lot and share a lot of sessions with all of these legends and that helped me a lot in my progression and my motivation my dad was literally my idol and he inspired me a lot He is definitely the person who had the most impact on my career and on my riding He never put pressure on me to do bodyboarding competition or whatever and I think today he is very proud and happy for me He is definitely the person who had the most impact on my career and on my riding!” you grow up side by side with your brother Noah who is a bodyboard shredder as well That’s a home and family that breathes bodyboarding on a daily basis 24/7 How important was that for you to come this far my brother Noah was also a very good bodyboarder Easily one of the best young French athletes he finished 3rd at the Pro Junior Viana World Championship in 2018 He still bodyboards very well but now only for fun He decided to move to Paris to finish his studies We were always trying to be the best during our sessions so we developed a healthy competition between us We formed a very close crew with my brother We always pushed each other to go for bigger waves to try new tricks… and it was epic to share the passion with such close people were always trying to be the best during our free sessions so we developed a healthy competition between us” How’s bodyboarding in France these days How’s the industry and contest scene EC: Some guys say that bodyboarding is already dead but what I see and what I experience doesn’t go that way but the sport is always present in our country there are always some guys in the water with bodyboards there are more bodyboarders than surfers.In france we have the chance to have some very good guys who are trying to develop the sport guys like Nicolas Padois who has been creating a lot of very good bodyboarders for 20 years Yoan Canevet “Txiken” who has created his 100% bodyboard school All of these guys do a lot for our sport and I’m very impressed and grateful for all they do!Regarding the industry but the industry looks good with big brands like Pride and Sen No Sen who have been established in France for many years and are still here there are more bodyboarders than surfers” At the moment you seem to be totally focused on the comp side After being ranked 4th in the world last year with three semifinal appearances (Antofagasta I have wanted to be on the Tour since I was a child and I even participated in some APB Pro Junior events My goal was to be in the top 16 with the best Following the World Tour was literally one of my dreams when I was a kid and I really want to thank everyone who helped me to achieve this goal I participated in 5 out of 8 contests and finished 28th I had the chance to follow all the events and finished 4th I have done a lot of work since my first year In the first 3 events of my life on the tour (Iquique Antofagasta and Brazil) I was eliminated in the first round which kept me motivated to keep working in that way I didn’t really realize the ranking at the end of the year I was in the top 5 with guys who have inspired me the most since I was a kid I know I need to achieve and learn a lot of things but I really want to win an event this year “IBC it’s the organization with the best bodyboarders in the world There is not any other organization with the same level of bodyboarding” The French gang on tour is very tight and friendly Having the companion of your friends when travelling and during the competitions makes all the difference for you we have a very cool crew with the French guys It’s very cool to travel with all the boys We have a very cool competitiveness between us Max created the Instagram page without a real idea of what we were going to do with it we developed the page and created some projects we have been trying to create a clip for each event with some competition footage but also showcasing all the free surfing and the behind the scenes that people don’t see I really think that creating fun projects like that is very important for the sport of Bodyboarding Everything we do is directly inspired by the OZ guys from back in the day “My ultimate goal is to be world champ Which wave/spot would you like to see on tour and compete on EC: I really want to have Pipeline on tour because it’s the most iconic wave in the world Winning a world event at Pipe can be compared to winning a world title I don’t know if I would prefer to win Pipeline with epic conditions like in 2012 or win a world title I think it’s the only wave in the world that can create this kind of dilemma “Winning a world event at Pipe can be compared to winning a world title Being an ambassador for a brand that cares about the environment is like a dream come true… right I also have the chance to be supported by Autoconsomation a business localised in Mimizan who sell solar panels Being supported by French brands that share the same values as me is very important So i’m very proud to represent these brands “It’s very important as a surfer to be mindful of the environmental crisis We need to respect nature and the ocean because it’s our playground” And what does it mean to also have the support of the Stealth Army and Bodyboard Center what can you tell us about your new signature board model EC: Since this year, I have had the pleasure to also ride for Stealth and BC+ I have been in another brand for a long time but I felt it was time for me to change and explore something new It’s very rewarding to be supported by these brands and I think my image aligns well with theirs.This season There are two reasons for this name: Firstly because there are hardly any young riders who have their own pro model so we think this board can bring some freshness the name of the board is also a reference to my father The logo of the board is related to its significance; we want to show that I am very determined and motivated “(…) there are hardly any young riders who have their own pro model so we think this board can bring some freshness” One last question regarding the soon to be released clip New Blood which has the same name as your board model EC: Can’t imagine a better question to finish with and Stealth on a video project to announce my pro model The video is 8 minutes long (teaser below) We’ve showcased different lifestyles from what’s typically seen in the world of bodyboarding and surfing Drawing inspiration from Hip Hop/Rap and Rock we aimed to create a unique image and style for the video We’ve put serious work into this clip Everything will be posted on my Instagram in June so stay tuned because something cool is coming and my pro model will also be available in June The new paper machine will be suplied by Andritz and is said to replace three existing paper machines at the site French kraft and sack kraft paper manufacturer Gascogne Papier plans to install a new big kraft paper paper machine at the Mimizan site in south-western France According to Austria's technology group Andritz the company has received a corresponding order from Gascogne Papier with commissioning of the new PM scheduled for 2025 With a web width of 6.8 m and design speed of 1,300 m/min the new paper machine is geared for a production of 125,000 tpy of unbleached (machine-glazed) MG kraft paper in basis weight of 25 to 120 g/m² This would be the "widest MG paper machine worldwide" and would "set a new industry benchmark with the highest capacity for uncoated MG papers," writes Andritz Gascogne Papier's Mimizan mill houses four paper machines with a total production capacity of 150,000 tpy The company's PM 3 produces sack kraft paper in basis weights of 70-155 g/m² PM 5 and PM 6  produce unbleached MG kraft papers in basis weights of 32-125 g/m² the new paper machine will replace three of the mill's four paper machines "The main target of the investment is to establish a multi-grade production line capable of producing more than 80 different grades of ribbed and unribbed paper," Andritz explained Service Customer Service+49 7224

invitations of several owners of villas which dotted the coastline.”  Nancy Smith his painting hobby allowed him to quiet the “black dog” Extraordinary accomplishments—a remarkable life indeed Churchill saw Villa Rosemary (the central motif) in January was worried about Winston and his obvious depression invited him to Cherkley Leatherhead Aiken commented; “I was disturbed because he was an obvious victim of depression and forebodings that distressed him In consequence I asked him to spend a day with me at Cherkly in the hope that I could distract his mind…I had noticed that he had placed on the car an easel and a box of colours…The house was empty at the time But Churchill’s easel was soon out and planted on the terrace where we looked out on the view that had fascinated so many politicians…It was obvious that it {painting} absorbed his mind He could not talk while he painted and did not want to talk I was glad to see him so engaged in such a calm amusement.” Lord Beaverbrook would often host Churchill at his home situated above the coastal path in Cap-d’Ail It was one of Churchill’s favorite locations on the Côte d’Azur Churchill was made Maire Honoraire de Cap-d’Ail by the Commune of Cap-d’Ail in 1952 for his friendship with France during WWII He captured the rocky coast on canvas and over the years painted a series of the Parasol pines that “overhang” the coast—images de cartes postales très français I can imagine him sitting there painting with the soothing sound of the waves lapping below I’ve spent hours over the years quietly sitting listening to the gentle or crashing waves on the French coast—for me having a meal near the water’s edge with the hypnotic sound of the waves is heavenly walking down the harbour steps in St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat At the time he was The Chancellor of the Exchequer  Photo from Winston Churchill Painting on the French Riviera Violet Bonham Carter and Churchill were guests of Claude Lowther at Herstmonceux in Sussex There she observed Churchill in the garden painting She related what once she saw; “As he painted his frustration evaporated…I was suddenly aware that this was the only occupation that I had ever seen him practice in silence…rapt in intense appraisal assessment of the scene meant to capture and transfer to his canvas.”  Montag took Churchill to the galleries where he was introduced to the Impressionists The style of the Impressionists’ school is obvious in his work Churchill and Montag went on many painting outings— remained friends until Montag’s death in 1956 in 1917 where they and their children would be safe from Zeppelin raids He would later have to sell it because of financial difficulties—sold to his friend Sir Ian Hamilton A mews building in the back was converted into a studio In Jean Hamilton’s diaries she wrote; “Winston painted dull pictures all day and was very happy.” Coombs mentions that it included one of the Orangery  Her observation of Churchill was while he was painting at a large weekend party at Panshanger  Rafferty states that he was painting the Voille d’Or Hotel and Restaurant “a rich Cuban who kept him (Churchill) supplied with cigars and brandy.” Churchill painted and hunted wild boar in Mimizan had a house on the coast—this was but one of many trips to the Duke’s house and then to Amalfi and Cassis in the South of France to paint Two paintings associated with Cassis are The Lighthouse in 1910 moved into a house in Cassis named Pierrefroide He would paint up on the rooftop terrace with the iconic view of the port and lighthouse  Landes painting was given to the First World War Prime Minister John Lavery and Churchill would be guests at Mimizan during the years where they painted the same subject These paintings were hung at the Duke of Westminster’s Lochmore Lodge in Sutherland was given to the First World War Prime Minister Lavery commenting on the two of them painting the same subject in his autobiography; “We have stood at the same motif and in spite of my trained eye and knowledge of possible difficulties with characteristic fearlessness and freedom from convention has time and again shown me how to do things Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”  Churchill with Coco Chanel at Mimizan–two audacious people born in the 19th century that greatly impacted the 20th century Painted in the afternoon in the Spring of 1920 Churchill observed how Lavery interpreted the light and varied colors of the Mediterranean onto the canvas Churchill writes; “Nature presents itself through the agency off these points of light each of which sets up the vibrations peculiar to its colour the brilliancy of a picture must therefore depend partly upon the frequency with which these points are found on any given area of the canvas and partly on their just relation to one another.”  Churchill and Lavery traveled to St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in 1921 staying at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Ail for one month Two lovely paintings from 1921 are The Pergola It has been put forward that it was on this trip with Lavery Churchill’s love of the Rivera and keen passion to paint on the Côte d’Azur was firmly and permanently established what a perfectly wonderful place to paint on the Côte d’Azuz whereas you look to the right the Cap is dotted with some of the most magnificent villas in all of the Côte d’Azur—treasures of France La Villa Santo Sospel is right up the hill where you’ll find a Cocteau Surprise on the walls Just to sit by the small port on a sunny day had been sad and difficult for Churchill as his mother and two months later his daughter Clementine and Winston went to Dunbarton Castle in Scotland as guests of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland where they recovered from their loss and he painted in 1922—reconstruction was completed in 1924 besides draining the lake making a dam for a swimming pool he built brick walls around the garden—bricklaying was another one of his hobbies He was of the opinion that one should have two or more hobbies His time was spent visiting friends and family on weekends and holidays abroad—France especially Churchill painting at Cannes Harbour–always protected by security Churchill stayed in the Villa Lou Mas belonging to the Countess of Essex (the Villa Rosmary is the motif of the painting)—in the distance is Cap-d’Ail and Monaco along with Edward Marsh and Charles Montag also made their way to Biarritz and painted at St-Jean-de-Luz he and Clementine rented Villa Rêve d’Or in Cannes and took the family They stayed for six months during the winter months Out of the gloom they went into the winter sunshine on the Côte d’Azur A dramatic view of the Atlantic near Biarritz La Bonne Auberge was one of Churchill’s favorite restaurants in Antibes and especially oignons cébette dipped in salt  He would send his driver to the owner’s house where they grew the vegetables for the restaurant to get a box of them and in return The restaurant was known for drawing in celebrities such as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor Winston Churchill was mesmerized and enchanted by the Côte d’Azur Subject matter that very often included stunning views of the sea with reflections on the water He longed to capture what he saw on canvas creating a collection of souvenirs from his trips that took him all over the world—from pointu bateau to the Pyramids I can tell a story behind every painting I have done of my moments on the Côte d’Azur—as I am sure Churchill could have done when walking around his gallery or studio Churchill painting–what he loved to do He wore a Stetson hat it’s said from 1930 forward The colour blue was a favorite of Churchill a heavenly colour we all admire so much.”  Paul Rafferty comments that aides sometimes squeezed 15 colors on his palette—of course “to make the straight and horizontal horizon of the sea.” I would think when he was painting en plein air quote a Frenchman as he passed by; “with a few more lessons you will be quite good.”  This sentiment for I know few amateur weilders of the brush with a keener sense of light and colour or surer grasps of essentials.”  John and Hazel Lavery were neighbors of the Churchills in London Winston would often work in Lavery’s studio in London  A photo shows Churchill in front of the archway you can see at the end of the pathway and often multiple secretaries— always taking writing paraphernalia and of course all things necessary for painting It would not have been difficult to notice him on these painting occasions— that at times included a “draught excluder” screen (in one picture at-square sits on the wall) Painting was what he did in order to carry on “Locals gather to watch the great statesman painting.”  Paul Rafferty As Coombs says; “characteristically for Churchill the figures are not too successful.” “Alligator cigar case that was the responsibility of Sgt Murray all of his paraphernalia was very important to Sir Wintston: the cigars—ideally Romeo Julietos—and matches Churchill with Lord Beaverbrook photographed in the garden of La Capponcina there is a chronology of years with paragraphs labeled Background and Painting have done that year—much was always going on in his life yet he was able to focus and create beautiful pictures I’ve looked at many photos in the Coombs and Rafferty books of his work Learning about what was going on in the world at the time he was painting puts in perspective how important it was for Churchill to have a diversion and how important were the friends and family that supported him along the way making villas and houses available to him where there was privacy I have only touched the surface and have chosen but a few stories that match the areas where he painted Exploring Churchill as a painter is fascinating and the history set down by Paul Rafferty and David Coombs with pictures of Churchill’s works makes it that more interesting  Almost every picture has a tidbit of information attached The interesting title of the top left painting caught my eye Churchill made repeated visits to towns all along the French Riviera—to those certain places he most enjoyed It’s interesting to see the visits put to canvas Churchill painting at La Capponcina in 1955 Notice his guard in the lower right corner–always close by Churchill at La Capponcina with Maire Gramaglia and family after being made Maire Honoraire de Cap-d’Ail by the Commune of Cap-d’Ail recognizing his friendship with France during World War Two “The Churchills lived very happily at Lullenden until financial difficulties forced its sale in 1920.” Churchill was drawn to painting the always changing calm or a stormy sea the rocks of the Pointe Bacon and pointu bateau in Cap-d’Antibes Friends provided villas with wonderful views where he was welcome to stay and once painted while standing under a wisteria-covered pergola What a guest he must have been—imagine the conversations that ensued Protected by a “draught excluder screen” The importance of Churchill’s discovery of painting cannot be underestimated and how it saved him This quote from his writings in Coombs’ book He wore this hat while painting from 1930.”  Paul Rafferty “I do not know how I should have got through those horrible months form May till November had it not been for this great new interest which sprang up in my mind and kept my fingers busy and my eye alert.” by The Right Honourable Sir Winston Churchill Winston Churchill-Painting on the French Riviera Sir Winston Churchill’s Life Through his Paintings ABB has been selected as a project partner for the installation of the world’s widest uncoated machine-glazed (MG) paper machine at Gascogne Papier’s

Prévision à + 5 jours, en fonction de l’intensité de la tempête, de l’aléa érosion sur le littoral aquitain.  Extrait du bulletin automatique du dispositif Surveillance Erosion.  To meet this need, BRGM developed the storm network as part of two programmes that supplement the work of the Aquitaine Coastal Observatory (2015-2017 and then 2017-2018). Structured around a network of voluntary participants and an automatic monitoring system for marine weather events (Erosion Monitoring system), its main functions are as follows:   BRGM has played a very positive role in developing the storm network of the Aquitaine Coastal Observatory. Both the technical committee and the users' committee had expressed a need. Consequently, the collecting and managing the data available via a website and a mobile application meets all the concerns of coastal managers. Working closely with local actors, BRGM has clearly produced a useful and relevant technical solution. The Erosion Monitoring system has been deployed for all members of the storm network since November 2018, together with tools for feeding back field information (a forum and a mobile application). The storm network is thus gradually being integrated at the local (SLGBC), regional (Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region) and national levels. The Erosion Monitoring system is currently the leading forecasting system dealing with erosion on a regional scale in France.  Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our news every month! fresh from the oven at Vincent Uso's online Canelés business This French-Australian love story ends with pavlova Feels like home: The French-born duo sharing terrines Meet the French chef selling vegan macarons and crème brûlée What makes the French way of life so decadent but not detrimental Two years after the UK was plunged into lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic we’re asking if it’s time to return to touring on the continent Ed Bassett, head of wanderlust at Camptoo certainly thinks so and he’s selected his favourite places to take a campervan directors and artists who’ve all enjoyed Monaco “Boasting warm temperatures and cinematic views road trips don’t get more glamorous than driving along the famed French Riviera,” Mr Bassett added Take a week to explore this picture-perfect coastal route stopping off at surfing spots including Lacanau Food and wine – once the campervan’s parked up – will not be far from your mind as you travel through famed wine regions and sample delicious oysters and other local ingredients Experienced drivers can take to the road and see the breathtaking scenery of Norway firsthand as the stunning fjords contrast with the rugged mountains elk and eagles are all common sights on van trips in this part of the world making it a must-visit for wildlife lovers you can drive the 65 kilometres of the Rhine Valley discovering the incredible history and atmospheric castles of this UNESCO World Heritage Site Described as the most romantic road trip in Germany it’s possible to get lost in your own fairytale for a weekend you’ll stumble across perfumed lemon groves and small fishing villages “There’s really nothing as freeing as being able to travel where and when you like safe in the knowledge that you have everything you need with you.” | | | Enter your email below to receive regular updates in our Caravan Times Newsletter I accept the privacy policy Swift is the biggest manufacturer of leisure vehicles..
