The White Paper Museums of France

The publication of the White Paper Museums of France, written by the General Association of conservatives public collections in France, was an expected event in the museum world. The information appears to have been well publicized in the press, if one believes the many brief that were spent by the media.

The facts are simple. The museum world has apparently never been as popular, but those whose job was to manage them are fast disappearing. Crisis? Announced end of a profession, that of the Conservatives? An alarm signal is initiated by the Association, which fears that a large part of the body of the Conservatives, who will retire in the coming years, not be replaced.

The museum world is changing, if the largest establishments have little trouble to do, the smallest but also the ways museums are becoming harder to win. Temporary exhibitions and events, more and more numerous, they are unlikely not to exhaust the resources? And as for the latter, what will be their fate? The temptation among some to ogle on reservations in seeing a potential revenue source. The inalienability of collections, strongly reaffirmed by the profession, he will persist in the coming years?

CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS AND DENIAL OF THE POLICE OR THE FORCE OF THE TAKE

The police and gendarmerie are obliged to take complaints. Indeed, the law of 15 June 2000 strengthening the protection of the presumption of innocence and victims' rights introduced in particular the "single window" for filing a complaint with police. In addition, a circullaire of May 14, 2001 has specified that Article 15-3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure requires the police to receive complaints from victims of crimes, including cases where complaints are filed in a service territorial jurisdiction, it is then required to forward them to the appropriate department. The circular states: "This is the imposition of a form of " single window "for filing a complaint, whose main purpose is to simplify procedures for victims, especially those with by common offenses such as theft. "Yet every day customers call me to tell me that the police refuse to take their complaint. Today I have personally had confirmation!

Museums paper

An exhibition held at the Musée du Louvre, 25 September 2010 to January 3, 2011, Sully wing, first floor room of the Chapel. Remarkably small exhibition presenting one of the devices developed from the seventeenth century to present human knowledge, Museums paper is a rare opportunity to see some wonderful works.

The Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo cartaceo, many drawings featured in the exhibition, opened in a way the principle of this specific device, presenting works by the image of antiquity, but also any other human creation and those of the nature (topic not addressed here). Such collections, including the publication continues to this day (sometimes anecdotal, such as The Museum Called Canada) moves in tandem with the first modern museums and offices - which already reflected the interest shown Quiccheberg for images in its Inscriptiones (1565).

The museum "hard" and regularly cotoie this specific company, as shown by the beautiful selection by the commissioner, museum catalogs (Maffei and Bottari and Visconti) and other collections from private collections.

An exhibition to see, if only for the sublime board Bianchini, model of the museum he designed - and virtual museum full, in that the said Bernard Deloche.

Amuse themselves to death

Neil Postman was published in the 1980s, a very fine article on museums from an analysis of EPCOT (which had applied for accreditation with the American Association of Museums). The book has just been reissued in Nova editions, this year, appeared for the first time in 1985. Excellent article, written in the tradition of McLuhan - the medium is the message or the medium is the metaphor - but with the consequences of this principle so certainly more pessimistic than the Canadian visionary.

The text has not aged a day, written with verve biting, detailing the effects of television culture on the reasoning and political discourse. Where one likes to read in the nineteenth century, election debates between Lincoln and Douglas lasted nearly seven hours ...

Key Concepts of Museology

Mouthing before the publication of the Dictionary ofMuseology, this booklet identifies 21 key concepts of themuseum: museum, museum, exhibition design, communication, preservation, management, etc.. Thedictionary, due out in May 2011, will feature over 500 pages.Published jointly by Armand Colin and ICOM, this booklet wasdistributed at the 22nd General Conference of ICOM. Thisproject is old and has been implemented by the ICOM International Committee for Museology-ICOFOM since 1993. The booklet is available for sale, but can be downloaded from the site of ICOM. It is available in four languages ​​(English, French, Spanish and Mandarin), and already severalmuseum curators from different countries expressed their wish to translate.

Child of exiles

Someone said in a humorous tone (think Ann Coulter, in a magnificent "We are all bigots now!", "We are all bigots now") that no one would take his candidacy for the vice-presidency, unless it is found than in the past was cat burglar. And whenever he can, Rubio insists that owes everything to be a child of exiles, who lost everything by historical accident and had to start from scratch, which considers that the embargo is a useful tool, which wants to Cuba the same freedoms that have allowed him "to Fulfill the American dream." Such is the enthusiasm (founded) with its star, in his "entourage" has declared cautiously: I look for Senator to Washington. But, perhaps comes into the federal capital, is already on Sunday in Jerusalem. "So soon after the election." Naturally, it is a political move of great lucidity, without strict regard to the convictions and peaked. And to make a difference for Barack Hussein Obama.

"Do not give the Nobel (Vargas Llosa)! Is a right!"

Evening came, Marquis ... Johan Norberg tells how the Swedish cultural elite realized that he had been an error in the vote, knowing that the 2010 literature winner was Mario Vargas Llosa. Well, READ the article, which I think is worthwhile. Ulrike literary criticism both Miles and many others, lamented the fact that Vargas Llosa was not socialist but, horror!, horror!, vade retro!, a neoliberal. well Norberg says: "The political direction of Mario Vargas Llosa apparently should have disqualified from any consideration for the award. He is, after all, a classical liberal in the tradition of John Locke and Adam Smith. "

Republican Scott Brown

"They can not say they were not warned. The polls showed independents starting to turn away from Obama since the spring of 2009. In the summer, there were strong expressions of resistance to the health plan of the Democrats. In November 2009, Democrats won largely in Virginia and New Jersey, two states Obama had won the previous year. Within months, opposition to the law of health care reform helps the Republican Scott Brown to win the seat that Ted Kennedy had taken for decades.

People could be easily confused

Democrats had plenty of time to change course. On the contrary, decided that people could be easily confused. The weak economy and previous Democratic victories meant that Republicans could do well in this election, especially in the House. But it was the obstinacy of the Democrats who turned defeat into a fiasco. The Republicans took control of the House, defeated Liberals heavyweights as Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, and collected laws of government and state. The House will now have more Republicans than in any year from 40.

Qualified as extremist and racist

The Tea Partiers have much to be proud. Qualified as extremist and racist, they succeeded in forming a coalition that won the most votes, and, incidentally, I chose a record number of non-white Republicans. (The countries will now have two governors Indian-Americans, both conservative Republicans.) Like any political movement, especially a new one, the Tea Party made mistakes. But saw the opportunity to change the direction of the country and had the strength to do so. The Tea Partiers were necessary to elect several new conservative stars like Marco Rubio, Pat Tomey and Ron Johnson. (All three come from states that supported Obama.) Many of those who followed the election of Obama envisioned a Republican retreat southward, act now as if they expected these results all the time. Pass to warn of the disaster the Republicans next time. And certainly there are objections and warnings that the Republicans need to hear, but not today, on our part.

Early popularity

The Republicans deserve some credit for its success. The early popularity of the president does not prevent them from opposing the stimulus plan, and rejected the arguments surface to cooperate with Democrats to expand government control in the health system. In short, they refused to be acquiescent in his widely foretold extinction.

Fact bodes much better for 2012

Higher warnings are now sounding the Democrats, remarkably, still refuse to listen. They continue to think that people regained the right direction, and the Republican resurgence in the last two years prove to be a total aberration. For Republicans, that fact bodes much better for 2012 than any of the results of Tuesday's election. "

Democrats held the Senate

The apocalypse announcing Karl Rove took place, although Democrats held the Senate, but Republicans won 6 seats (including that of Florida, the Cuban Marco Rubio, and as symbolic of Illinois, which belonged to Barack Obama) , and House of Representatives dominated by Republicans, 235 to 181. It is the victory of the GOP (Great Old Party, Republicans) larger in two generations, and could exceed any Republican majority since 1946. Who may be the next Speaker of the camera (that great, bye bye! Nancy Pelosi), John Boehner (-OH), in an emotional speech, with tears in his eyes, said it was a repudiation of Washington. "Washington has been doing what is good for Washington, but it's good for America."

March of giants

That the American people had enough and walked. And his "march of giants" (expected in some way by Tocqueville, but also by the American Constitution, "the government of the people and for the people", which sought to erase Obama Olympian, on behalf of he and company who understood the value what was good for the people, and not this one, poor ignorant, the typical arrogance of the structure on the left) may not stop until the next presidential election in 2012, where Obama can not even be the Democratic nominee.

Great hope of the GOP

Since Tuesday night, not good noticias.La gozadera cease. To Barack Hussein Obama (as they call it in Israel, emphasizing his middle name) had to recognize the beating. (Incidentally, before this disastrous choice for the Democrats, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the chairman noted that graying rapidly. After Tuesday, is almost entirely gray. Poor ...) The political analysts I've read today, in various media, are almost unanimous in concluding that the big winner Tuesday night is Marco Rubio, by his political capital (which he has committed since the beginning Rudolph Giuliani, not to mention Jeb Bush), as the great hope of the GOP in 2012, is seen as candidate for vice-presidency.

Tea Party movement

It is no coincidence that the emergence of Tea Party movement has been made with unusual force (as only the political characteristics of America can produce), in response, first, to Obama, and the growing government interference in economics. As said Newt Gingrich, Democrats announced before the disaster, America can not be governed from "too much to the Left" too far left. Any name that you want to foist perversely Tea Party as "too far right" (which has been accused of "xenophobic", etc.), Is but a reflection of the reaction to Obama. As the same way the GOP can harden.

Democrat in the White House

Obama and company forgot the lesson of Bill Clinton, his immediate predecessor, Democrat in the White House. Bill Clinton moved quickly to the center, and was even a "new Democrat", to paraphrase Tony Blair's New Labour. (Incidentally, two of which should be plenty of crying crocodile tears of defeat in the House, so means to reject Obama are Hillary Clinton and her carnal.) An acolyte of Obama said shortly before the election yesterday, also anticipating defeat, that the greatest enemy of the president was the Tea Party, because as the Taliban and Al- Qaeda, had neither a phone or office, however invisible, and many were everywhere, ready for anything. nauseating and unacceptable symptom of a terrible despair, though similar to that expressed by Obama himself, trying to woo Latinos, that America was divided into "enemies" and "friends", according to ethnic group membership.

Feminism and racial ideology

Both feminism and racial ideology of affirmative action, which I think Obama's failure to come to bury, are lures to hide the fact that what defines the human being is not membership of a group or gender, but it sounds Marxist , capacity, and what it achieves. I confess that I myself was caught in the trap, not to buy from Obama, since it appeared on the scene began to criticize it, but because every time you turn me criticizing me for criticizing, would answer that the only thing I liked about him was his mulatez or blackness. As if that exonerate him of his many faults. The only thing that is is an incompetent. E unable, come in all colors. If Angela Merkel orally decree failure of multiculturalism, the fall in the abyss of Obama says wrong and dangerous to the deeply racist affirmative action, which is what led to Obama was elected, not because someone is "colored" means that is "better."

Racism you ever seen bigger than this?

Racism you ever seen bigger than this? The consequences were that the President "post-racial" stirs the ghosts that were either buried in their country, but this has proved so great that the movement Tea Party, the biggest winner, up from Republicans as we know, has managed to have chosen a few "non-white ... Not to mention that the Tea Party is a movement founded and supported by women .... This is the real "feminism" and not that which calls for equality for women when it is unable, on behalf of the left which usually military to raise their voice against the lack of rights of women who have had the misfortune of being born Muslim.

Neo-socialistic policies

The only measure of any human being are their merits, the same meritocracy, a society intrinsically exceptional for the cult of the individual as the U.S. (which Napoleon was, by his own life, but failed to apply in Europe, but this is another history), that neo-socialistic policies of "Black" had to destroy, as it has glimpsed Marco Rubio, the political animal. "Cuban" home, for more signs ... Obama has been a product of the political establishment who wanted to impose that being "black" or "mulatto", or whatever, to a Muslim, was "the best."

Obama's personality

Every time you put into question Obama's personality, his radical past suspect (or tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are), its wrong policies, he accused a "racist." Is there anything more racist than this? If you criticize someone for their views, their capabilities, they never tried Obama, much less now, to be visiting Scheduled to not know where, rather than cancel it and get to work for their country, and try to help their fellows Democrats who have achieved something in the choice-and if that "someone" is, like Obama, "black-mulatto," then you are racist.

Meta form oseadas

But what can not be forgotten, as the momentum built messianic deflates faster than a meringue on the door of a school, is that perhaps Obama was elected to be the (false) "great black hope" mulatto. " The resounding failure of this mulatto is a curfew of racist ideologies, metaformoseadas up to date political correctness that if you are black or mulatto, or color that is, until it is white, has to be "good" and above all, much better: the "unique" and "fuller".

Havana's most prestigious newspapers and distribution.

With the political changes in Cuba to stop being a Spanish colony, the press knows the island and unprecedented absolute freedom of expression. This very free exercise right was reflected in all aspects of American life, especially in journalism and oratory, which reached a sudden glow, in the years of U.S. military occupation as in the first April of the young republic Cuban. flourished then the various flat periodic or cyclical short-lived, while the existing ones during the colonial period greening or consolidated. A journalism major renovation was necessary to the public demand. The old machinery is replaced by the fast rotating escorted arrival in Cuba of the most modern systems of composition, stereotyping, gravure and many other advances in printing technology. Were no longer sufficient or four or eight pages of large size, which forced to spend the sixteen if they wanted to offer enough room for the dissimilar materials that claimed the curious public to modern journalism.

Iron Road

Up this year at its 160 th anniversary of the railway or "Iron Road" from Puerto Principe to Nuevitas (1). On this occasion, we pay tribute to the feat that certainly marked a turning point for communications, economics, society and culture of Camagüey to retrace a few pages of his long journey through the history. Gaspar Betancourt Cisneros, The Villager, was who first thought of using the modern means of transportation to his homeland, Puerto Príncipe, paying with their money the initial studies on the ground, to undertake at your request, important and renowned engineers in to determine the possibility of the project.

Anticipation of the Peninsula

But it was in Havana, Cuba in anticipation of the Peninsula itself, which opens the first Latin American railroad, on November 19, 1837, ideal for travel between the sugar producing centers and the commercial port. Its construction, far from obeying a romantic ideal, responded to events, since the second half of the eighteenth century, began to encourage the economy of the Greater Antilles. The Villager to know about the invention of the railroad and all its benefits for one of the journeys undertaken in the United States, warns that was before the ideal solution to connect to Port au Prince to the northern port of Nuevitas. Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe, the second largest town after Havana, according to Antonio Bachiller y Morales, was, shortly after its foundation, the loss of marine conditions in the broad and well protected bay on the north coast Nuevitas.

Plant steam

for a price very high, this plant steam is a real danger so I recommend to boycott a brand that so few cases of customers I had a model steam plant ASTORIA ref 1161, manufactured in Italy, it took 15 years. After a long life, she dropped me, so I decided to buy another RC model 386A, manufactured in France. L a new steam plant was purchased in November 2009, the first failure came in April 2010, the hose that transports heat from the input of iron to the sole, has broken, meaning that I had the steam that rise through all possible gaps, I was partially burnt hand. Despite the fact that it is still under warranty, the price of a reference in ASTORIA being astronomical, I decided to repair it myself, so I reinstall the hose with 1.5 cm less but well hung, there was no problem, and this month re-Belote, the same problem reappeared, burned again, I wanted to get to the bottom and it was still the same hose. I kept the old station, I dismounted, I compared and I noticed that the hose was not relevant at all in the same quality. I therefore concludes that to save money on manufacturing, they reduced the quality of some components and endangered the health or life of their client. I called the phone and I explained that given the weight of the package in return, I am too expensive to return, I asked them if they could send me the corresponding hose. They refused and the apparatus is still under warranty. That got her going but they are totally blocked and obtuse. Who will throw 40 euros for shipping out the window to replace a hose that may be worth € 0.30. a hose that can replace or even.

"Is Obama a Christian?". David Limbaugh

Rather than wondering about whether he is Muslim or not, an issue that has been released (as well as surveys of Americans) support after his controversial mosque Ground Zero, David Limbaugh is whether a Christian or not. David Limbaugh conducts the analysis through the curious use of the term Obama "revealed" to refer to the Muslim religion in the infamous speech in Cairo: "More Significantly, He Said in Cairo historical speech to the Muslim World That Islam is a religion Revealed . I'm amazed this Did not get more Attention Because It Is Extremely Anomalous Believing for a Christian to Refer to Islam as a religion Revealed. The word "Revealed" Had to Have Been Carefully Chosen and was absolutely Unnecessary to Convey His overtures to the Muslim world. One Need not affirm Another person's religion to extend him a hand of friendship and peace.

Obama really believes Islam

"More significant, he said in his speech in Cairo in the Muslim world that Islam is a revealed religion. It amazes me that this has not attracted more attention since it is extremely abnormal for a Christian believer to refer to Islam as a revealed religion. The word disclosed "must be chosen carefully, and it was absolutely unnecessary to pass on their opening to the Muslim world. One does not need to reaffirm the religion of another person to extend a hand of friendship and peace. Words have meaning, and if Obama believes that Islam was revealed, then certainly believes it was revealed by God. If God was revealed more than 600 years after Christ was on earth and contains beliefs completely inconsistent with the doctrinal Christianity as Christ was not God but a mere prophet, then, at that particular essential, can not possibly be reconciled with Christianity. If Obama really believes that Islam was revealed by God, I can not fathom how it could be a Christian believer. I do not know if Obama is not Christian, but I have my doubts. "

Do not do this in the Muslim religion

is obvious to anyone who is aware of the news that Obama is not Christian as much as their press vocerosde want to repeat it to the four winds press mjeios USA. Anyone reading about your trip will notice with amazement as every time he has visited any Muslim country or on the road he made to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, was never accompanied by his wife Michelle Obama. When I visit Saudi Arabia leaned against the Wahabi Saudi king in surrender and honor. No Muslim in politics or business trip traveling with his wife or wives. Just do not do this in the Muslim religion.
During the presidential campaign when he was interviewed by journalist George Stephanopolous on ABC, he committed a blunder by saying that John McCain "had not challenged his Muslim faith" and ABC reporter came to his defense quickly and replied: "Well You tell her Christian faith, right? " And half confusing Obama replied "yes, my Christian faith"

National Day of Prayer

It was obvious that he had committed what in English is called a "Freudian slip" and said what really was on his mind. His recent actions in religious matters are not actions of a Christian, when left in a gesture of amazed cutting all Christian Americans, do not celebrate the National Day of Prayer USA, a Christian tradition which had been a celebration that all previous presidents had always held on. However, only a few months later with great fanfare, if worthy to celebrate the Muslim festival of Ramadan in the White House itself and from there declared his support for the mosque problematic in lower Manhattan where the attack occurred on 9 / 11.

Not to prosecute the Terrorists

Now his administration has decided not to prosecute Islamic terrorists who carried out the attack on the U.S. Navy ship Cole in Yemen occurred. Also his own previous administration decided not to prosecute the Terrorists in summary trials of military character and wants in a civil court judge in New York City. His remarks when the attack the army at Fort Hood in Texas when you also do not know the character of terrorism and the implication of an Islamic terrorist in the attack, indicating their reluctance to blame the Islamic terrorists for the attacks made on American soil. If all these details and facts are combined leads to the conclusion that this president is not a traditional mold president ever and that there are many questions about its intentions and goodwill for the country he presides. In my humble opinion do not believe for a moment that Obama has the best interests of USA in his mind.

"We're artists, we are politicians"

Havana says the executive director of American Ballet Theatre, Rachel Moore, on the next visit to the island in November of this American ballet company. Read in the Journal of Cuba, and Granma. "It's been too long, not are politicians, we are artists, I can not speak for the Obama administration, but we believe that our presence here can help build an artistic bridge between our communities and our people. "

Point Cuba Journal: "The arrival of ABT comes amid rumors of an imminent easing in the United States of restrictions on cultural exchanges with Cuba, as part of the strategy of President Barack Obama of promoting people to people contacts with the island " "The American Ballet Theater is the U.S. national ballet. Our mission is to bring dance to the U.S. and bring dance to the world the United States." "(Rachel Moore said.)

Extremists have won again

MDR, say what they feel embarrassed to be in one group than men because they are women!! If they already think this way, the extremists have won again!! If they want to mix what is their problem, but do not promote it here! After that gives pools reserved for women or men only at specific times in the north of France !!!!!! And then we'll separate the men and women in theaters ... At stages ... at school ... in the street (like all monarchies Islamists). After these women are amazed at what sexism !!!!! If they are already applying it to them even without even paying attention ... Attention ladies, you are the equal of us men do not fell in the extremism preached by some Muslim idiots! CAUTION

Arab country

We are in an Arab country, women do not like the idea of mixing with men, which has pushed to create a club exclusively for women. In a mixed club, women may feel embarrassed and do not fully benefit from proposed activities. The club members come from all social classes, most of them work. Karting, autocross and 4x4 are very successful with them, who can also enjoy a workshop on the mechanics. Personally, I really like the 4x4, more enjoyable to drive.

I love their power on a field filled with sand. The WARC is not yet known. To promote it, we organize marches, "unity drive," in which we cross the country by car. The Interior Ministry sends guards - men - with us. We meet women who come from everywhere, and we take this opportunity to introduce them to our club. We tell them about the theme of our work, such as diabetes, this year. This disease is becoming a scourge in our region. We must act to protect our children. "

Autocross aboard a Porsche

Veiled women driving a Ferrari or making autocross aboard a Porsche, the picture may seem surreal in a Arab Muslim country. This is not the case in the UAE, a federation of states neighboring Saudi Arabia, where sex "weak" has still not allowed to drive ... Car lovers and mechanics have created their own club: the Women Self-Race Club (WARC) in Dubai. This is the only club of its kind in the UAE and probably in the Gulf.

Its inception in 2006, cringe. But if some women were reluctant at first, the originality of the project ended up seducing them. To raise awareness and recruit new members, the WARC organizes each year's National Day (December 2), a "works" to educate women on a social issue. Participants then pass through the UAE to board their 4x4, escorted by guards appointed by the Ministry of Interior. The march of 2007 had focused on trisomy 21 children. The 2008 theme was breast cancer. This year it will focus on diabetes.

Reluctant attitude

Despite all the difficulties imposed by the reluctant attitude of many lofty patrician, was moving forward, mile by mile, running from the sea. So at the end of 1840, from New York, top engineer Benjamin H. Nuevitas Wright on board the schooner Adrian with locomotives, cars and machines. Camagüey, many of the landowners who signed for the construction of the railroad, never fulfilled their commitment, others are not even signed, therefore, what is raised by this pathway was not sufficient to achieve rapid progress of the work, that's why the villager had to invest their assets and get the largest sums to the Junta de Fomento de La Habana and negotiating loans from the British capital. On Easter, 1841, to check the quality of works, Nuevitas met a group of 350 people, which, in the words of the villagers were "cream and cottage cheese, so that the truth will have very strong support today.." Indeed, on days 22, 27, 28 and 30 of December, there was a tour of four miles with a machine, two cars and sixty passengers on them.

construction of the railway

Betancourt Cisneros know in New York to an English engineer Charles Hampter (3) who, at his request, he traveled to Nuevitas to assess ground conditions and determine whether it was suitable to undertake the construction of the railway. Back in New York, tells her friend the viability of the project. Lugareño Camagüey returns, this time in the company of Wilson American engineer, and decide the starting point of the railway from Bay Mayanabo in the place known today as Puerto Tarafa. However, the railroad was not the first Camagüey in Cuba, because, as we know, what preceded that of Havana Bejucal. Once Betancourt has the results and full details of studies and tests on the ground, authorities informed the utility Island railroad through a contract from the Provincial Patriotic Port au Prince. The request for permission to carry out the "Iron Road" from Nuevitas took place on November 26, 1836.

By choosing as the third place of settlement a fertile plain between the rivers and Hatibonico Tínima, raised its vast economy thanks to the diligence of the men who made items such as livestock and agriculture the best in the country. Was conceived and, over time, one of the richest cultural heritages of the island mentality conditioned by principeño and his peculiar way of being. The failure to secure a quick transfer of goods between the town and ports, forced the practice of trade using the then navigable waterways and shipping on the heavy carts on the roads to the docks on both coasts. In 1823, the villager was interested in a Railroad Project City of Port to Nuevitas (2), the following year, in time to coincide with José Antonio Saco in New York, he said data and details on the roads between Havana and Camaguey to have traveled that distance on horseback.

Paris passed through water.

Recominedo all the virtual exhibition "Paris innondé" organized by the Galerie des Bibliophiles and the city of Paris. The exhibition took place between January 8 and March 28 last, but you can visit virtually thanks to multimedia services Mairie de Paris.
Indeed, in January 1910, Paris knows a terrible week because of an exceptional flood, caused by a catastrophic weather, the largest in its history without being as fatal as that which occurred in 1658. The water invaded the underground track in 1910 and recently opened for the subway and the sewers. The level of the Seine was even able to reach the railway station Saint-Lazare.
