"In Egypt the sun was pictured traveling by boat. His nighttime journey through the netherworld was dangerous and full of obstacles. Each morning the rising of the sun was like a victory of the power of light over the powers of darkness and death. The ancient Egyptians believed that when the Pharaoh died he entered into the netherworld, where he joined the sun god. The Pharaoh too overcame death and took his place among the eternal shining gods. This could only happen, however, if his body were kept intact. For this purpose an Egyptian king would construct a pyramid, which was meant to serve as the house of the body of the deceased king and as a kind of ladder when his soul ascended, like the sun, from the netherworld into heaven." Édouard Manet (French, 1832–1883), In the Conservatory, 1878–9, Oil on canvas, 115 cm × 150 cm (45.3 in × 59.1 in), Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Conservatory In the Conservatory (French: Dans la serre) is an 1879 oil painting by Édouard Manet in the Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin, depicting Manet's friends, a couple, in a conservatory. There is an ambiguity in the painting that has led art critics to characterize the couple's relationship in divergent ways.

The Age of Bronze (French: L'Âge d'airain)

The Age of Bronze (French: L'Âge d'airain) is a bronze statue by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917). The figure is of a life-size nude male, 72 in. (182.9 cm) high. Rodin continued to produce casts of the statue for several decades after it was modelled in 1876.

Rodin had a Belgian soldier pose for the statue, keeping photographs which survive (in the Rodin Museum). The pose partly derives from Michelangelo's Dying Slave in the Louvre Museum, which has the elbow raised above the head.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Bronze Auguste Rodin François Auguste René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917) was a French sculptor[1] generally considered the founder of modern sculpture.[2] He was schooled traditionally and took a craftsman-like approach to his work. Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, and deeply pocketed surface in clay. He is known for such sculptures as The Thinker, Monument to Balzac, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, and The Gates of Hell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_Rodin

September 22 2018 Paris

Happy 67th Birthday to Bruce!! What a life he has lived! From living in the Azores with his parents while Bennie was stationed there in the Air Force to living in Spain half-time, with so many challenging years starting and building companies and raising our son Hobie in between, he has had an exciting life.

I’m so happy to be celebrating with him again like I have done every year since we began dating in 1979, We have both grown together as kindred spirits, learning from one another and sharing SO many experiences.

Bruce has always been handsome, brilliant, sensitive, and compassionate, and he has enough humility to not let it go to his head.

What a wonderful dad he’s been to Hobie and how he has enjoyed every stage of his development (OK, the teenage years weren’t a piece of cake, but that’s typical)!

After working out at the gym this morning and having breakfast at the hotel, we walked around the neighborhood a bit, then we took a taxi to have lunch at Cafe de L’Esplanade near the Military Museum.The food and service were both wonderful.

We had decided that, since we have visited all the first tier landmarks in Paris we would go a bit off the beaten path and we had heard from my French teacher, Claire, that the Rodin Museum and Gardens were worth touring.

The history of the museum,according to Wikipedia:

“The Musée Rodin in Paris, France, is a museum that was opened in 1919, primarily dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. It has two sites: the Hôtel Biron and surrounding grounds in central Paris, and just outside Paris at Rodin's old home, the Villa des Brillants at Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine). The collection includes 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, 8,000 old photographs, and 7,000 objets d’art. The museum receives 700,000 visitors annually.

While living in the Villa des Brillants, Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his workshop from 1908, and subsequently donated his entire collection of sculptures – along with paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he had acquired – to the French State on the condition that they turn the buildings into a museum dedicated to his works.

The Musée Rodin contains most of Rodin's significant creations, including The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Gates of Hell. Many of his sculptures are displayed in the museum's extensive garden. The museum includes a room dedicated to the works of Camille Claudel, and includes one of the two castings of The Mature Age. “

Rodin was an interesting character. According to Wikipedia:

“François Auguste René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917), known as Auguste Rodin, was a French sculptor. Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition, although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art.

Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface in clay. Many of his most notable sculptures were criticized during his lifetime. They clashed with predominant figurative sculpture traditions, in which works were decorative, formulaic, or highly thematic. Rodin's most original work departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory, modeled the human body with realism, and celebrated individual character and physicality.

Rodin was sensitive to the controversy surrounding his work, but refused to change his style. Successive works brought increasing favor from the government and the artistic community. From the unexpected realism of his first major figure – inspired by his 1875 trip to Italy – to the unconventional memorials whose commissions he later sought, Rodin's reputation grew, and he became the preeminent French sculptor of his time.

By 1900, he was a world-renowned artist. Wealthy private clients sought Rodin's work after his World's Fair exhibit, and he kept company with a variety of high-profile intellectuals and artists. He married his lifelong companion, Rose Beuret, in the last year of both their lives. His sculptures suffered a decline in popularity after his death in 1917, but within a few decades, his legacy solidified. Rodin remains one of the few sculptors widely known outside the visual arts community. ”

Rodin’s love affair with Camille Claudel, twenty three years his junior, was quite the scandal and, if you care to read more about it visit this website:

https://arthive.com/publications/2878~Love_story_Auguste_Rodin_and_Camille_Claudel

Camille posed for many of Rodin’s sculptures and she was also a sculptor in her own right, evidenced by the two below.

Rodin was prolific and many of his sculptures were created in different mediums, including bronze and marble.

We walked back to the hotel, passing many important buildings along the way, including the Crystal Palace.

In the park near our hotel there was some street art, which was interesting but not as creative as much that we’ve seen in Barcelona.

Dinner at a Michelin star restaurant concluded a perfectly lovely day and I gave Bruce his birthday gifts when we returned to the hotel, which pleased him immensely. Walking in the rain was even romantic, because, after all we were in Paris!

Although there was a settlement in La Roche-sur-Yon since the middle ages, the true story of the town began on May 24, 1804.

That was the day Napoleon enacted the Royal Decree on the transfer of rights. Regional forces for a whole new town. La Roche-sur-Yon is the result, a street network designed with pentagonal borders. The town is organized around a stunning central Plaza, Place Napoléon and was built in just a few decades. It’s all an interesting tale, told by the town’s dominating Neoclassical buildings. And here in the Vendée department, you’re halfway between the ocean and the award-winning Puy du Fou theme park, so there’s no lack of inspiration for days out. Discover the best things to do in La Roche-sur-Yon.

[toc]

1. Place Napoléon

Exactly the place to start your visit to La Roche-sur-Yon, Place Napoléon is one of the largest public areas in France. It’s a gigantic plaza with avenues and water gardens around an equestrian statue of the emperor.

Many of the town’s big attractions are on the square, and we’ll come to them shortly. But there are also lots of low-key but interesting sights that you can look out for on a stroll. The Grande Auberge received Napoleon on August 8, 1808, and is one of a few amenities, like the Town Hall, that were approved in person by the emperor in 1805.

2. Les Animaux de la Place

La Roche-sur-Yon has found a wonderfully imaginative use for the water gardens on Place Napoleon. In the ponds are animatronic machines designed by François Delarozière. He’s the guy who made the mind-blowing moving sculptures at the Machines of the Isle of Nantes, which are now world-famous.

Here there are a crocodile, hippo, dromedary, otter, ibis, and flamingos that can be controlled from little stations by the ponds. You can make them open their eyes, lift their legs, spread their wings, all with the use of solar energy, cables, and hydraulic systems.

3. Église Saint-Louis

The monument that attracts attention to Place Napoleon is the striking neoclassical church, which began in 1817 and completed 12 years later.

The portico facing the square has six smooth, Tuscan-style columns, while the giant columns supporting the cavernous interior are Corinthian, and so are fluted and have dainty foliate capitals.

Throughout the 1800s the building had to deal with financial difficulties, and one way these were overcome was with trompe l’oeil murals in place of real ornaments. These images adorn the ceiling and walls in the nave, chorus, and walkway, representing medals and even architectural details such as stone carvings and balustrades.

4. Haras de la Vendée

La Roche-sur-Yon’s stud farm is something no equestrian fan should miss.

This prestigious facility, in 4.5 hectares of greenery, can tell you all sorts of things about the region’s culture: You can learn the history of the town’s cavalry, find out about Vendée’s traditional horse breeds, witness the old-time knowhow of saddlers and farriers, and make friends with the horses themselves.

But the Haras de la Vendée is also a functioning training center for equestrianism and puts on remarkable demonstrations on Thursday evenings in Spring and Summer. And the Haras is also the place to go if you’d like a horse-drawn tour of the town.

5. Musée Municipal

For a pinch of culture, the town’s museum deals mainly with contemporary photography and art from 1600-1900. Through donations and purchases, it has compiled a first-rate photography exhibition by Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Wall, Thomas Ruff and many more.

They come with a buffer of about 500 small format photos from the 20s and 30s. The graphic art galleries here are also impressive, with 3,000 works, mostly from the 1800s and including the watercolors of the giant Eugène Boudin.

Finally, for sculpture, there is a bust of Auguste Rodin and a painting of Napoleon by Antoine-Denis Chaudet.

6. Musée du Chocolat Gelencser

The Maison Gelencser has been a fixture in La Roche-sur-Yon since 1956, and in 2014 it opened a museum presenting the world of chocolate and the history of this local brand. You can learn how cocoa is grown and harvested, but can also understand the savior of a master chocolate maker.

The whole experience is punctuated with tastings, in six areas across 300 square meters. At the end of 2016, La Roche-sur-Yon set up a competition for local artisans to create a culinary specialty.

And this was made by Patrick Gelencser, the creator of Nap Napline, a small bust of Napoleon's dark chocolate filled with praline and caramel.

7. Prieuré de Chassay-Grammont

It rarely has a monastery complex to survive as well as this priest, a short trip in the village of Saint-Prouant.

One explanation for its excellent state of repair is that it’s a very small place that only housed 10 monks at a time after it was founded by Richard the Lionheart in 1196. And these men lived a meager existence, surviving on nothing more than bread, fruit, and vegetables.

There’s a kitchen, chapterhouse, refectory, and rooms for visitors around the small chapel for worship.

8. Maison Renaissance

Thanks to the sweeping changes made to the town at the start of the 1800s there is not a lot left from before that time. But the Maison Renaissance on the Place de la Vieille Horloge is one.

It’s an Italianate mansion from 1566 and is indeed the oldest building in La Roche-sur-Yon. Built from granite, the house has a magnificent spiral stairway and marvelous stone fireplaces in its rooms.

And it’s the place to catch up on the transformations that happened in the town after 1804, outlining this feat of urban planning. In addition, there was a retrospective copy of René Couzinet, the pioneer aviation engineer and manufacturer whose factory was located outside the town.

9. Centre Beautour

On the graceful estate of the Vendée naturalist, Georges Durand is a center that lets you discover the biodiversity around La Roche-sur-Yon.

When Durand passed away in 1964 he bequeathed his large collections of butterflies and birds to the town, but after his death, his beautiful home had been left to deteriorate for 40 years until the municipality stepped in a decade ago and gave it a makeover.

So now, in 8.5 hectares of parkland the house and its visitor center exhibits Durand’s collections and have a load of complementary displays about Vendée’s wildlife.

10. Théâtre Municipal

A grand theatre had been planned in La Roche-sur-Yon ever since Napoleon’s decree, and for the first few decades of the 19th century, performances were actually held in the central chamber of the town’s covered market.

The theatre was finally completed in 1845 and in keeping with the rest of La Roche-sur-Yon has resplendent Neoclassical architecture, with a Tuscan-style portico on its facade and gleaming white stone.

The institution is a French “scène nationale”, so it has a big role in the region’s cultural development. Check the dance, theatre, music and literature listings to see if something suits you, as the wooden interior and horseshoe layout allow for exceptional acoustics.
