Georges Clemenceau

Here is Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929) . He was a political man and Statesman. He was Prime Minister (Président du Conseil) twice, 1906-1909 and 1917-1920 when this duty was more important than being the President. He's overall known for being the Prime Minister at the end of WWI, for his determination during that time. His two nicknames "Le Tigre" (Tiger) and "Père la Victoire" (Father Victory) gives an idea of his image in the National Memory. During the Dreyfus case, he was a supporter of Alfred Dreyfus and Emile Zola against anti-semitic and ultra-nationalist ligas at the end of nineteenth century. If you want to know more about him you can go to his wiki page clicking here.

Place des Abbesses

Place des Vosges

For today I chose a picture taken Saturday of one of the most beautiful square in Paris: The Vosges Square. The Vosges is a region in Eastern France next to Alsace. The name of this departement was given to this square during the Revolution (of 1789) to honnour the fact the Vosges was the first departement to pay the War taxes to defend the Nation and to send troups during the Revolutionnary wars against all Europe (but Poland ;-) ) . But Of course they were very concerned seeing their location!

I also liked the street sign, a little old fashionable!
Actually this square was built during the 17th Century and was a Royal Square (perfect square with 4 identical series of buildings).

Pour aujourd'hui j'ai choisi une photo prise samedi de la place des Vosges, l'une des plus belles places de Paris. Cette place fut nommée place des Vosges en l'honneur de ce département qui fut le premier à payer la contribution de guerre et à envoyer des troupes pour défendre la Nation en 1792 contre les ligues antirévolutionnaires. Il est évident que leur situation géographique leur a fait se sentir rapidement concernés!

J'ai aussi aimé le panneau de signalisation, un peu démodé.
