Tuileries Garden

Paris or L.A.? L.A. They're my two favorite places in the world, but I have to say L.A. because I live there.

Your favorite spot in Paris? My favorite spot is all the parks, like Garden Luxembourg and really just the Tuileries.

Anywhere there's a park, you guys have the most amazing open spaces.

And just to walk in the history, I always say I love to go to the museums, but it's like walking outside to me is like being in a museum here.

Fósiles rotos y dispersos de ballenas preadamíticas, fragmentos de sus huesos y esqueletos, se han encontrado en los pasados treinta años, con intervalos diversos, en la base de los Alpes, en Lombardía, Francia, Inglaterra, Escocia y en los estados de Luisiana, Mississippi y Alabama.

Entre los más curiosos de tales restos está parte de un cráneo, que el año 1779 se desenterró en la rue d'Aupigné de París, una breve calle que sale casi enfrente del palacio de las Tullerías, y unos huesos desenterrados al excavar los grandes muelles de Amberes en tiempos de Napoleón.

Cuvier declaró que esos fragmentos pertenecieron a alguna especie levitatánica absolutamente desconocida.

Pero el hallazgo más prodigioso, con mucho, de restos de cetáceos, fue el enorme esqueleto, casi completo, de un monstruo extinguido, hallado el año 1842 en la plantación del juez Craig en Alabama.

Por tanto, para todas estas cosas consideramos a la ballena como inmortal en cuanto especie, por más que sea perecedera en su individualidad.

Nadaba por los mares antes que los continentes salieran a la superficie.

Nadaba antaño sobre la sede actual de las Tullerías, del castillo de Windsor y del Kremlin.

En el diluvio de Noé despreciaba el arca de Noé.

Notwithstanding the horrors of a situation which seemed definitely to abandon them to their deaths, Monsieur de Chagny and his companion were saved by the sublime devotion of Christine Daae, and I had the rest of the story from the lips of the Daroga himself.

When I went to see him, he was still living in his little flat in the Rue de Rivoli, opposite the Tuileries.

The Tuileries is a public garden in Paris.

He was very ill, and it required all my ardor as an historian pledged to the truth to persuade him to live the incredible tragedy over again for my benefit.

His faithful old servant, Darius, showed me into him.

The deroga received me at a window overlooking the garden of the Tuileries.

He still had his magnificent eyes, but his poor face looked very worn.' He had shaved the whole of his head, which was usually covered with an astrakhan cap.

He was dressed in a long plain coat and amused himself by unconsciously twisting his thumbs inside the sleeves.

In 1742, the Marquis de Bacqueville constructed an apparatus which some consider to have been based on Bessonier's idea, which seems rather doubtful.

He fastened the surfaces of his airplane directly to his arms and legs, and succeeded in making a long glide from the window of his mansion across the garden of the Tuileries, alighting upon a washerwoman's bench in the Seine without injury.

pockton the mathematician is credited with the suggestion of a flying machine with two screw propellers which he called terafours a horizontal one to raise the machine into the air and an upright one to propel it these were to be driven by hand with such hopelessly inadequate power it is not surprising that nothing came of it yet the plan was a foreshadowing of the machine which has in these days achieved success the abbe defourget gained a place in the annals of aeronautics by inventing a flying machine of which only the name orthopter remains about seventeen eighty carl friedrich merwine an architect and the inspector of public buildings for baden germany made many scientific calculations and experiments on the size of wing surface needed to support a man in the air he used the wild duck as a standard and figured that a surface of a hundred and twenty six square feet would sustain a man in the air this agrees with the later calculations of such experimenters as lilienthal and langley other of merwine's conclusions are decidedly ludicrous he held that the build of a man favors a horizontal position in flying as his nostrils open in a direction which would be away from the wind and so respiration would not be interfered with some of his reasoning is unaccountably astray as for instance his argument that because the man hangs in the wings the weight of the latter need not be considered it is almost needless to say that his practical trials were a total failure The next prominent step forward toward mechanical flight was made by the Australian watchmaker Dagan, who balanced his wing surfaces with a small gas balloon.

His first efforts to fly not being successful, he abandoned his invention and took to ballooning.

remember what that first video was

about? I was literally just walking around Jardin de Tuileries.

And I had to keep retaking because I didn't know how to edit or like cut things out.

It took me an hour and a half to film like a 90 second clip while I was just walking around filming and talking saying, oh, my name's Ashley.

Do you figure this is a heaven for you without even checking anything else? Or have you done due diligence?

I mean, you know, of course there's the Tuileries and there's Monceau, which are like... individual in their own right Monceau is a little kind of wild Tuileries is very structured but this is like the best of both worlds because you do have the structuredness of it in the center but then around the outside you have the trees and the more like nature to it so it's kind of a combination of those two

I totally agree with you I used to think that Park Monceau was my favorite I never lived near any of these big parks to appreciate them properly but I always thought that was the perfect one until I'd really gave this a shot i think a lot of people come in here and and fair enough love it for the the pond and the pond

and the fountain and the kind of structured you know gardenness of it almost like an english type garden but french um yeah i think it's interesting like i was thinking about it this morning as we were getting you know ready to meet it's i find that it's the center is uh tourist and the outside of the locals right so it's like it's kind of cool we all combine of course you know locals sit in the center too but um it's a bit like paris itself absolutely people come to the center they're in the first or the second but they rarely get out to like amazing places like the 11th or you know the 19th the art it's

The Abbe Caron was speaking in terms of praise to a private gathering of seminarists in the blind alley of Fuliantines of an unknown priest named Felicite Robert, who at a later date became Lemeni.

A thing which smoked and clattered on the Seine with the noise of a swimming dog went and came beneath the windows of the Tuileries, from the Point Royal to the Pont Louis XV.

It was a piece of mechanism which was not good for much, a sort of plaything, the idle dream of a dream-ridden inventor, an utopia, a steamboat.

The Parisians stared indifferently at this useless thing.

Carriages were going and coming.

A squadron of magnificent bodyguards, with their clarions at their head, were descending the Avenue de Neuilly.

The white flag, showing faintly rosy in the setting sun, floated over the dome of the Tuileries.

Tuileries.The Place de la Concorde, which had become the Place Louis XV once more, was choked with happy promenaders.
