Париж. Квартал Дефанс. Триумфальная арка | Paris. La Defense. La Grande Arche. Arc de Triomphe
???? ???????? France
???? На второй день нашего путешествия мы отправились в современный деловой квартал Парижа Ла-Дефанс (фр. La Défense).
???? До него мы добрались на метро от Триумфальной арки до станции La Defense, на выходе из которой мы сразу попали на площадь возле Большой арки.
???? Ла-Дефанс считается самым большим деловым центром Европы, а самой известной достопримечательностью этого квартала считается Большая Арка Дефанс (La Grande Arche de la Défense) - современный вариант Триумфальной арки, которая находится на одной линии с Лувром, Елисейскими полями и Триумфальной аркой!
???? Внутри Большой Арки работает специальный стеклянный лифт, на котором можно подняться на обзорную площадку здания и насладиться панорамными видами квартала Дефанс и Парижа с высоты более 100 метров.
В июле 2019 года у Большой Арки юбилей - 30 лет с даты открытия!
⛲ В квартале Дефанс есть большая пешеходная зона, торговые центры, жилые дома и гостиницы, фонтан, скульптуры и памятники современного искусства, в том числе «Красный паук» и бронзовый «Палец Цезаря».

LOS - Omaha Beach, Normandy, France
Took a road trip with some friends to North of France to see Omaha Beach, Point du Hoc, Mont st Michel, and Rouen. Due to the wind, I wasn't able to fly at all the places I wanted to fly at, but here at least is a view of Omaha Beach. If you're not familiar with Omaha Beach, that's ok.. have a read at . It truly was an amazing trip. Sorry to the crazy German, we didn't ask for permission to fly at the Cemetery. While I'm sure it would have been beautiful, the winds would have made for some very non-flattering video, so I never called the Assistant Director.

VUE D'EN HAUT : L'église de Sainte Mère Église
Eglise par Sophie Bernard
Classée monument historique depuis 1840, l'Eglise Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption est édifiée entre le XIe et le XIVe siècle. Lieu de souvenir, le vitrail du bras nord du transept représente les parachutistes avec l'archange Saint-Michel. Ce vitrail est offert par les vétérans du 505e régiment de la 82e division.
La particularité de cette église figure sur son clocher, auquel un certain soldat est fortement attaché.

Sainte-Mère-Église Church John Steele D-Day 1944
John M. Steele (1912--1969) was the American paratrooper made famous in the movie, The Longest Day who landed in Sainte-Mère-Église, the first village in Normandy liberated by the Americans on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
John Steele was born on November 29, 1912 in Metropolis, Illinois.
The operation :
On the night before D-Day (June 5--6, 1944), American soldiers of the 82nd Airborne parachuted into the area west of Ste-Mère-Église in successive waves. The town had been the target of an aerial attack and a stray incendiary bomb had set fire to a house east of the town square. The church bell was rung to alert the town of the emergency and townspeople turned out in large numbers to form a bucket brigade supervised by members of the German garrison. By 0100 hours, the town square was well lit and filled with German soldiers and villagers when two sticks (planeloads of paratroopers) from the 1st and 2nd battalions were dropped in error directly over the village.
The paratroopers were easy targets, and Steele was one of only a few non-casualties. His parachute was caught in one of the back pinnacles of the church tower, causing the cables on his parachute to stretch to their full length, leaving him hanging on the backside of the church to witness the carnage. The wounded paratrooper hung there limply for two hours, pretending to be dead, before the Germans took him prisoner. Steele later escaped from the Germans and rejoined his division when US troops of the 3rd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment attacked the village capturing thirty Germans and killing another eleven. For these actions and his wounds, Steele was awarded the Bronze Star for valor and the Purple Heart for being wounded in combat.
Later life :
Though injured, Private Steele survived his ordeal. He continued to visit the town throughout his life and was an honorary citizen of Ste. Mère Église. The tavern, Auberge John Steele, stands adjacent to the square and maintains his memory through photos, letters and articles hung on its walls. Steele died of throat cancer on May 16, 1969 in Fayetteville, NC just three weeks short of the 25th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
Commemoration :
Today, these events are commemorated by the Airborne Forces Museum in Place du 6 June in the centre of Ste-Mère-Église and in the village church where a parachute with an effigy of Private Steele in his Airborne uniform hangs from the steeple. Bullet holes are still visible in the church's stone walls. Inside, there are stained glass windows, with one depicting the Virgin Mary with paratroopers falling in the foreground.

Париж. Сад Тюильри. Музей Оранжери. Пети пале | Paris. Tuileries. Musée de l'Orangerie. Petit Palais
???? ???????? France ????
???? В обед, после посещения Лувра, мы прогулялись по саду Тюильри и пошли в музей Оранжери - картинная галерея где основная экспозиция представлена картинами Клода Моне (есть картины Пабло Пикассо и других известных художников)
????В музей попали предъявив Museum Pass, охрана музея осмотрела наши вещи и настоятельно попросила положить рюкзаки в камеру хранения, на время посещения музея.
???? В Оранжери есть отличное кафе, в нем мы перекусили и отправились осматривать сам музей, на что мы потратили около часа.
????Примерно в 15-00 мы отправились в Пети Пале (малый дворец, а на против него есть большой дворец) - городской музей изящных искусств, который находится всего в 10 минутах ходьбы от Оранжери. Вход в Пети Пале бесплатный.
???? В 16-00 на метро мы поехали до делового квартала Парижа - La Defense, он же Парижский Манхеттен. В Ла Дефенсе множество красивых высотных зданий (небоскребов) и современная триумфальная арка.
