Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Church of Saint Germain des Pres
Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Church of Saint Germain des Pres
The Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, just beyond the outskirts of early medieval Paris, was the burial place of Merovingian kings of Neustria. At that time, the Left Bank of Paris was prone to flooding from the Seine, so much of the land could not be built upon and the Abbey stood in the middle of meadows, or prés in French, thereby explaining its appellation.
The Abbey was founded in the 6th century by the son of Clovis I, Childebert I (ruled 511–558). Under royal patronage the Abbey became one of the richest in France, as demonstrated by its ninth-century polyptych; it housed an important scriptorium in the eleventh century and remained a center of intellectual life in the French Catholic church until it was disbanded during the French Revolution. An explosion of saltpetre in storage levelled the Abbey and its cloisters, but the church was spared. the statues in the portal were removed (illustration) and some destroyed, and in a fire in 1794 the library vanished in smoke. The abbey church remains as the Église de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, one of the oldest churches in Paris.
In 542, while making war in Spain, Childebert raised his siege of Zaragoza when he heard that the inhabitants had placed themselves under the protection of the martyr Saint Vincent. In gratitude the bishop of Zaragoza presented him with the saint's stole. When Childebert returned to Paris, he caused a church to be erected to house the relic, dedicated to the Holy Cross and Saint Vincent, placed where he could see it across the fields from the royal palace on the Île de la Cité.
In 558, St. Vincent's church was completed and dedicated by Germain, Bishop of Paris on 23 December; on the very same day, Childebert died. Close by the church a monastery was erected. Its abbots had both spiritual and temporal jurisdiction over the suburbs of Saint-Germain (lasting till about the year 1670). The church was frequently plundered and set on fire by Vikings in the ninth century. It was rebuilt in 1014 and rededicated in 1163 by Pope Alexander III to Saint Germain of Paris, the canonized Bishop of Paris and Childeric's chief counsellor. The great wall of Paris subsequently built during the reign of Philip II of France did not encompass the abbey, leaving the residents to fend for themselves. This also had the effect of splitting the Abbey's holdings into two. A new refectory was built for the monastery by Peter of Montereau in around 1239 - he was later the architect of the Sainte-Chapelle.

El Parque de Vallparadís.Terrassa-2014
El Parque de Vallparadís apostó desde sus inicios por fomentar la accesibilidad de cada una de sus áreas a todos los ciudadanos en general.
Se debe tener en cuenta que Vallparadís está situado en el antiguo cauce de un torrente y que en algunos puntos la diferencia de cota del parque respeto la ciudad es de casi 20 metros.
La adaptación de la orografía con la aportación de tierras, permitió construir rampas de acceso adaptadas a los ciudadanos con movilidad reducida. Este hecho, obligado por ley, se ha reforzado actualmente con la construcción de un ascensor que permite acceder a la cota media del parque desde la cota de la propia ciudad.
Un segundo ascensor estaba previsto para salvar los 15 metros de desnivel existente desde el puente del Paseo hasta la cota del parque, pero en este caso finalmente se ha optado por esperar la finalización de las obras de soterramiento de los ferrocarriles de la Generalitat de Cataluña que como contrapartida, financiará no ya la construcción de uno, sino de dos ascensores de gran capacidad que se prevé podrán entrar en servicio a lo largo de en el año 2005.
Además Vallparadís, por su diseño, permite el acceso de vehículos de transporte adaptado. En verano cuando la piscina está en funcionamiento, los usuarios en silla de ruedas (discapacitados físicos, centros de atención a personas con parálisis cerebral, etc.) acceden hasta las mismas instalaciones con autobuses especiales.
Por otra parte, en todos los concursos para la instalación de juegos infantiles se ha obligado a los licitadores a incluir en sus propuestas juegos que favorezcan la integración de los discapacitados motrices y que los haya que fomenten el juego colectivo. Fruto de esto es la presencia en el parque de 8 zonas de juegos, dentro las cuales siempre hay uno de adaptado y otros que fomentan el juego tranquilo o con el uso de las propias manos del usuario, este tipo de juegos son especialmente interesantes para colectivos de niños con discapacidades motrices o psíquicas.
La piscina del parque dispone de una rampa de acceso adaptado que permite el baño a personas con movilidad reducida.
