Parc naturel régional des Ballons des Vosges
Le tour de France de la biodiversité 2019 : étape 5/21
Le Parc national des Ballons des Vosges démontre que, lorsque l'intelligence collective se met au service de l'intérêt général, des solutions innovantes peuvent être trouvées. Cet équilibre fait le plus grand bonheur des lézards verts et des orchidées qui y vivent.

La France en ballon dirigeable
La France en ballon dirigeable
Portées par le vent, les montgolfières permettent d'admirer autrement les campagnes ou l'architecture des grands sites du Périgord et de la Dordogne tout en étant proche de la nature.
Vous assisterez au spectacle du gonflement de la montgolfière avant de décoller dans une merveilleuse sensation de douceur.
Ne peut-on rêver de meilleurs balcons que ces merveilleuses bulles multicolores, écologiques et gracieuses pour s'emparer d'une vue imprenable par-delà forêts et châteaux du Périgord et de la Dordogne, dans le sud-ouest de la France.
Cités médiévales, chateaux accrochés aux falaises, forts troglodytes, nous vous proposons de survoler en ballon
les plus beaux villages de France : Sarlat, Montfort, Castelnaud, Cénac, Vézac, Domme, Beynac, La Roque Gageac, Vitrac...
Devenez les passagers du vent, vous saurez pourquoi les oiseaux chantent !!!

VLOG - PARC AQUATIQUE CENTER PARCS - TOBOGGANS & FUN À L’AQUA MUNDO
Swan et Néo découvrent le parc aquatique Aqua Mundo de Center Parcs :)
Un paradis aquatique unique au monde. Où une eau à 29° turquoise et transparente traverse des jardins tropicaux en forme de palmeraie, de bambouseraie ou de jungle de cocotier. Les caraïbes comme si on y était :)
L'activité phare de l'Aqua Mundo : l'Arbre à Eau, une plate-forme de jeux aquatiques avec toboggans, pistolets et jets d'eau, ainsi qu'un énorme seau qui déverse, en toute sécurité, 900 litres d'eau sur les baigneurs.
Petits et grands passeront des heures à s'arroser, à glisser, à s'amuser et à se faire éclabousser par cet immense seau.
Un programme 100% FUN : toboggans aquatiques, arbre à eau, pistolets à eau,seau d'eau géant, jeux d'eau, plage de sable fin, poissons tropicaux à observer ...
C'est parti !
Dans une prochaine vidéo, la suite de la visite du parc aquatique avec Néo pour encore plus de sensations fortes :)
Pour information, nous étions au Center Parcs - Bois aux Daims, à Morton (accès gare SNCF de Saumur 49400)
Vue (360 degrés) au petit matin sur le site de l'association Îlet Chicot
premier fois que je me lèves et découvre le paysage au petit matin. Lieu magique perché a 1300M d'altitude, ici le temps est différent, on ce dit que l'on a beaucoup de chance d'être là, de pouvoir profiter du site toute en y travaillant et apprennent...Un grand merci à Pascal HOARAU et toute ça tribu, pour votre accueil si chaleureux dans ce lieu unique et hors du commun...
ALMERSBERG - vidéo panoramique -
L'Almersberg est une destination de randonnée phare, au sein du Palatinat allemand ; c'est une étape de randonnée qui me taraudait l'esprit depuis des années déjà et qui était jusqu'à ce jour, toujours restée au fond du placard ! Désormais, je connais enfin ce lieu reculé et particulier, constituant l'un des plus hauts sommets du Palatinat central (avec ses 564 mètres d'altitude ! ). Le départ de base est fixé dans le fond de la vallée du Wellbachtal, à une altitude de seulement 209 mètres ; il vous faudra donc gravir près de 360 mètres de dénivelé positif, ce qui constitue une sacrée performance dans le Palatinat allemand ! La montée est très longue et ardue, mais elle se pratique sur des chemins forestiers larges et confortables. Seule la partie haute sera un peu plus aventureuse et difficile, étant donné que d'importants travaux forestiers ont rendu le sentier sommital difficilement praticable par endroits ... Plusieurs déviations ont même été mises en place, car le plateau sommital de l'Almersberg constitue une zone de repopulation forestière et d'expériences scientifiques ! Le sentier sommital est donc un peu perturbé, ce qui vous demandera des efforts supplémentaires ... Ces derniers seront fort heureusement, largement récompensés : l'Almersberg cache un merveilleux belvédère panoramique (certes pas évident à trouver ... ), aménagé avec deux tables et bancs en rondins de bois ! Cedit belvédère est situé un peu à l'écart du sentier de crête balisé et domine vertigineusement, la profonde et sauvage vallée du Wellbachtal ! Le site propose sans aucun conteste, l'un des plus remarquables panoramas, à travers tout le Palatinat central ... Vous n'y verrez que des moutonnements boisés, à perte de vue : sidérant ! Il y en a tellement, qu'il vous sera impossible de tous les nommer et les reconnaître ... Même moi, j'ai eu beaucoup de difficultés à les distinguer : c'est dire ! L'endroit s'avérant très isolé et situé à l'écart des grands axes de communication, le silence sera de mise tout là-haut, perdu au milieu de l'un des plus vastes massifs forestiers de notre région transfrontalière (Vosges du Nord et Palatinat) ...
Galerie Couteron - exposition Colette Levine du 17/09 au 12/10 2013
LA GALERIE COUTERON
vous invite au vernissage de l'exposition de Colette Levine en présence de l'artiste
jeudi 17 septembre 2013 à partir de 18 heures
Exposition du mardi 17 septembre au samedi 12 octobre 2013
Rencontres avec l'artiste : mardi 1er octobre à partir de 18 heures et samedi 12 octobre à partir de 17 heures (dernier jour de l'exposition)
Colette Levine est née à Paris, où elle vit et travaille dans son atelier. Après des études artistiques chez André Lhote (Montparnasse, 1954) puis chez Yves Hersent (La Grande Chaumière, 1956) et enfin chez Robert Lesbounit (Place des Vosges, 1960) elle entame une recherche autour du corps et de sa lumière. Puis elle aborde le paysage et la nature dans une facture plus ouverte, plus colorée où les frontières entre le figuratif et l'abstraction disparaissent, laissant la couleur et le trait s'exprimer de façon plus éclatée.Elle renouvelle l'art du portrait et du paysage au fusain, à la sanguine, au pastel ou à l'huile dans son atelier et participe à des nombreuses expositions collective en France et à l'étranger.
Colette Levine dans la presse :
Aussi érotiques qu'elles soient, les poses ne livrent pas ses sujets à notre seule convoitise. Colette Levine apporte à ses tableaux la densité nécessaire à la sublimation. Etienne Ribaucour - Ouest France
(...) Quant à Colette Levine, la pratique du pastel confère à ses nus une sensualité toute charnelle. (...)La Gazette de Drouot - Novembre
Si toutefois réalisme il y a, il serait comparable à celui d'un écrivain comme Colette, à supposer que soit permise cette incursion de la littérature dans le domaine de l'art. Simone Bonnardin - La Côte des Arts
