Mont Valerien : the memorial of fighting France The Mont-Valérien memorial was the main place of execution by the German army on French territory during World War II. These men, murdered because they were resistance fighters condemned to death or hostages, Jews and Communists, are all reminders of our history which naturally made this site a Mecca of national memory. After the war, the site was chosen by General de Gaulle to honor the memory of the Dead for France from 1939 to 1945; he inaugurated the memorial of fighting France there on June 18, 1960. Inside the site, the “Remembrance Trail” allows you to follow the path of those who were about to be shot: from the chapel, the walls of which still keep traces of graffiti engraved by convicts, in the clearing of the executed. The discovery of the Mont-Valérien memorial allows us to better understand what the German repression was, the French collaboration, and what was the journey of those "who loved life to death.

The likes of Siegfried and Roy, Edith Piaf, Sylvie Vartan, Maurice Chevalier and Eartha Kitt have graced the Lido’s grand stage, which clearly speaks for itself! The Lido was essentially founded when the Clerico Brothers began importing an array of Las Vegas cabaret shows to Paris with Donn Arden’s help all the way back in 1956. The show has continuously evolved since then while keeping the essence of the performances as fresh as when it first opened. The current and latest show, made by legendary director Franco Dragone, is called 'Paris Merveilles'. Franco has drawn inspiration from the city of Paris and the many magical scenes that happen on its streets to give you the show of a lifetime. The Show The Lido certainly has a long and rich tradition of exemplary performance. Every Lido show consists of anything between ten to twenty scenes that run for around 1½ hours in total, of which the Bluebell Girls’ performance is undoubtedly the primary attraction of the show. Many of the other singers, showgirls and performers serve to enhance the overall presentation and make sure to keep it colorful for repeat audiences. You will be blown away by the exotic furs, glamorous fabrics, incredible feather and rhinestone costumes. The show generally opens with a characteristic or thematic scene that sets the mood, tone, and color scheme for the performances to come.

Gray Weather at the Grande Jatte - G Seurat 1888 - Oil on canvas 70.5 x 86.4 cm - The MET NY © Walter H. and Leonore Annenberg Collection This view extends from the island of The Great Jatte, framed by trees, to the red-roofed houses of the Paris suburb of Asnieres or Courbevoie across the Seine. Seurat had earlier celebrated this stretch of the river with his ambitious compositions Bathers at Asnieres (1883-84)National Gallery, London) and A Sunday on The Great Jatte (1884-86, Art Institute of Chicago). Here he sought "to transcribe most exactly the vivid outdoor clarity [of nature] in all its nuances" using a technique known as Divisionism (also called Pointillism). The painted border was added shortly before the picture was first exhibited in 1889. © The MET NY

The Island of Grande Jatte - Claude Monet 1874 - oil on canvas, 50 × 70 cm - Private Collection, Photograph (C) Christie's image / Bridgeman - Giraudon The painter allows you to see from afar the factory chimneys, a big red house and highs poplars stand out against a pale sky. Impressionism has its roots in colors, lights and landscapes along the banks of the Seine. In the 19th century, the island of Jatte was one of the cradles of impressionism. With its many taverns, its proximity to the capital, the decor strongly inspired these painters.

The Bridges of Asnieres (Les ponts d'Asnières) was painted outside and with lots of sun. The scene represents the bridges d'Asnières including the railway bridge over the Seine. Van Gogh uses light efficiently and uses reflections in this painting. The stone pillars of the bridge are reflected in the water and the white paint is used for highlights. A woman dressed in pink with a red parasol is the focal point of the composition. During the two years Van Gogh spent in Paris (1886 -1887), he painted several paintings of bridges on the Seine.

The Lovers - Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890) Paris, May 1887 - oil on canvas, 75 x 113 cm Van Gogh called this sunny park scene "Les Amoureux". Couples in love stroll under the young Chestnut trees along the paths. He uses a free variation of the technique pointillists.They developed their compositions by paint dots. Van Gogh, in his way, applied small strokes of brushes in different directions. This helped him create the effect of a radiant spring day and the sense of intimacy he wanted to express. He had wanted to start a family, but he had impossible romantic relationships. He resigned himself finally to his situation and devoted himself totally to his art. https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/collection/s0019V1962

Georges Seurat - A Sunday on La Grande Jatte — 1884 - Oil on canvas - (81 3/4 × 121 1/4 in.) Art Institute of Chicago - Credit line : Helen Birch Bartlett Memorial Collection A Sunday afternoon at the Grande Jatte is a large painting, (81 3/4 × 121 1/4 inc. Deliberate monumentality: Georges Seurat (1859-1891) conceived it as the manifesto of the movement that he defines neo-impressionism, as does Paul Signac. He wanted to distinguish himself from Impressionism by its scientific character. Perception colors in the light are no longer suggested empirically, as Monet or Renoir tried to do, but according to the complementary system designed by Michel-Eugene Chevreul (1786-1889). He again chooses a contemporary subject, following Baudelaire and Manet: the leisure of the Parisians on the island of Grande Jatte, on the Seine, between Neuilly and Courbevoie, a very popular place for walkers and meetings. Here you can meet the bourgeois, the craftsmen with their caps, lovers and mothers,military on the run and chic couples. Seurat combines the modernity of the motif - urban life - like Caillebotte or Degas describe at the same time - the modernity of the divisionist process (divisions of tones by juxtaposition of "pellets" of color). For two years, Seurat prepares both his social inventory and his analysis of fabrics and skins in the sun or in the shade through many preparatory drawings (about thirty) and painted studies (more numerous). With a dandy humor,he introduced some incongruities, a leashed monkey, an elegant angler and a trumpet player. This variety of patterns allows a greater variety of colors, so demonstrates the excellence of divisionism. After two years of work, One Sunday afternoon is exhibited from May 15 to June 15 1886, during the eighth exhibition of the impressionist group, then at the Salon des independents in August and September of the same year. If Seurat’s confreres watched the experience with curiosity, the criticism is less easy to understand. (The World april 2013 Philippe Dagen)

When he paints 'les chiffonniers' he is only nineteen years old, he is a very promising, clever, that presents gifts for drawing and writing. He began painting with Van Gogh, and receives a visit from Signac who noticed. Bernard deals with a modern subject : bridges adored by the impressionnists, but eliminating any picturesque character. He invented a new vision, where pictorial creation is more important than the subject represented.

In 1885, Paul Signac, young self-taught painter, 22 years old, living in Asnières, meets Seurat, who dazzles him with his theories about Art and his technical knowledge. The new convert never stops painting the landscapes of his city in neo-impressionist style.

Paris, Petit Palais, musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris Pastel et crayon graphite sur toile 32,8 x 50 Photo (C) RMN-Grand Palais / Agence Bulloz Born in 1852 in Neuilly sur Seine, Alexandre Nozal is first and foremost a landscape artist who has managed to cross the postimpressionism of which he is a representative, some portraits are also part of its production. Alexandre Nozal started at the Salon in 1876 with "a pond of Brenne". His travels brought him, in particular, to Brittany, Berry, Normandy and the South of France, Provence and Corsica and, like many painters of his generation, to Algeria. Painter of water, he renders his impressions among the rivers, rivers, ponds and seashores, as well as at dusk or in the morning mist. This painting was painted in 1891 during a very hard winter, there is ice on the Seine, in the distance, the factory chimneys rise into a sunset sky.
