News from France, 8 June

An attack with a knife in a park in Annecy has left six people injured, including four children and three with life-threatening injuries.

The attacker, a Syrian asylum seeker, has been arrested and the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, has traveled to the scene.

2. Aix-Marseille University, one of the oldest in France, announced on Wednesday that it had been hit by a cyberattack.

3. Vinci Autoroutes and APRR are offering discounts of 20% and 25%, respectively, on the price of their tolls in response to the French Transport Minister's call for toll reductions.

The discount from Vinci Autoroutes is available to users of holiday vouchers who credit between €20 and €250 on their toll badge between June 15 and July 31, 2023, while APRR/AREA's discount is available to users with Liber-t Vacances toll badges who credit their account with holiday vouchers.

The discounts are available until August 31, 2023, and are intended to make it easier for French drivers to travel during the summer holidays, which could be impacted by the country's economic difficulties.

The Somalian music belted out of the stereo as the taxi wound its way around the narrow streets at 20mph. I was on my was to East Croydon Station to take the train to Gatwick. The 5:34am train arrived on time and soon enough I was transported to Gatwick.

The airport was very busy, full of tourists heading out on new adventures and it’s not even peak season yet. With little time to spare, I made my way to the departures. “Mar-sell” called the boarding assistant, prompting everyone to board the plane. For the first time in a long time, I slept the duration of the 1.5 hour flight. In fact I slept through the safety announcement and only woke up when we were about to land.

“Bonjour” said the border control guard, as he stamped my passport, waving me into France. I exited the airport and the intensity of the light hit me. This is what Van Gogh was talking about, I felt as though I could see the world, but in reality I was looking at a bus terminal. I brought my €10 ticket to Aix-en-Provence and boarded the coach.

The coach drove through the Provence countryside to Aix-en-Provence. After 40 minutes, I arrived at my destination and strolled down the tree lined boulevard into the old town whilst listening to the cicadas. Then I arrived in town and everything was closed because it’s a Sunday!

Academic Male Study (18th century).

Michel Francois Dandre-Bardon (1700-1785), French. oil/canvas. Musee des Beaux Arts. Marseille. He was a French history painter and etcher.

He was born in Aix-en-Provence, France. He signed his name Dandré-Bardon, or D. Bardon, because his uncle, Louis Bardon, made him his heir on condition that he continued the name of Bardon; but his real name was André, as the registers of the church of St. Madeleine testify.

A little preview of Joe and Kaiser's trip to Provence!

A li'l snippet for you PO!! fans! Been a bit slower writing this fic but it's comin'. Enjoy!

Von Kaiser watched as Joe nibbled at half of a tarte tropézienne. The German had already finished his portion of the brioche treat, and the floral notes of the orange blossom cream that filled its center still lingered pleasantly upon his palate.

He had never been keen on desserts, but the little pastry was not too sweet and paired wonderfully with his coffee. He could honestly say he enjoyed it, but what brought him more happiness was seeing Joe seated across from him, able to indulge in a treat without being ill or overcome with panic.

They were seated outside of a pâtisserie in Nice that overlooked a bright, calm sea the color of a robin's egg. The weather had become warmer, and the city was much busier than Marseille or Aix-en-Provence, but Von Kaiser found a sense of safety from the extra warmth and the larger crowds. He felt more at home- more than he did in New York. The crowds of Nice were more like those he knew in Berlin: more leisurely and slower, comprising people who savored their solitary walks, in contrast to the ones of New York which were louder and more hurried, more chaotic.

Both men agreed that the long, comfortable moments of silence between them were some of the most treasurable. After all, they were halfway across the globe from the thousands of screaming spectators, the bells, and the calls of the referee, and they savored every moment of quiet they would have on their trip.

“I often forget how vast my country is,” Joe mused, cradling his warm mug and staring around himself in wonder. “Far away from Paris, all of these marvelous beaches, the countryside… it is all much more than just my city, non?"

Von Kaiser looked up from his newspaper and chuckled. There was also much more to his own sprawling country than lederhosen and die Bierhäuser of the South.
