#LESINCREDULES #AVIGNON Après "Sans tambour", qui avait marqué le Festival d’Avignon 2022, Samuel Achache et sa troupe sautent le grand pas de l’opéra pour interroger l’idée de miracle avec leur art unique de joindre la musique à la parole. Censée être morte le matin même à la piscine d’une "rupture du cœur" en nageant le papillon, une mère étrangement rajeunie rend visite…

Continued thread
Somebody who lives in Arles notes that a similar window in one of his shutters allows a view of a nearby sundial. So perhaps the above one (in Avignon) was for checking the time. #sundial #time #clock #architecture #arles #france #avignon https://lostinarles.com/2013/09/shadows-on-dial/#:~:text=So%20this%20little%20window%20very%20may%20well%20have%20been%20installed%20as%20the%20easiest%20way%20to%20tell%20time%20from%20a%2017th%20century%20clock.
Section of a Roman column repurposed as a guard stone (chasse-roue) to keep horse-drawn carts from scraping the building. When I'm next back in Europe I'd really like to find a corner building that is unprotected and shows signs of wheel-hub damage. Avignon, France. #spolia #roman #street #avignon #france #stone #architecture #marble #traffic
Parce que le Sud, ce n'est pas que de la souffrance thermique et pulchromaternelle, profitez donc d'un prochain passage à Avignon pour visiter les bains Pommer, au 25 de la rue du Four de la Terre. Ces lieux étaient des bains publics de 1890 à 1972. Art nouveau et art déco s'y mêlent dans une restauration admirable (les gaines électriques sont des tuyaux en inox, je suis fan).

Earlier this week, on an #SNCF 
#TER #Lio service from #Avignon to #Portbou, just across the border with Spain. I’m getting off at #Tarascon station, a few metres away from the bridge across the #Rhône river and the #Occitanie region. A #Bombardier Class #Z27500 unit is working this service.
Seen the other day, stopping at #Avignon TGV station: a #Trenitalia 
#Frecciarossa 1000 high speed train, on its way from #Paris to #Marseille. It’s got a 
sticker on its nose and, it seems, a very stylish and comfy interior. 
to the friendly train driver.
Quelqu'un•e à Avignon ou le Vaucluse? 
Ceiling fresco (c. 1353) by Matteo Giovanetti in the Audience Chamber at the Palace of the Popes, Avignon, France. It looks bright and undamaged but that's because there's been extensive restoration. I found a 1911 book titled, "The Story of Avignon," with some backstory. Apparently some of the Corsican troops stationed in the building in 1816 had taken to removing the heads of the prophets with special tools that could cut small sections out of the plaster. Among other indignities, I'm sure. #avignon #pope #art #churches #restoration #painting #france #history #prophets #medieval #travel
Gorgonzola à la cuillère. One could, I suppose, ask for an unmarked cup and a spoon. Nobody needs to know. Les Halles d'Avignon, France. #gorgonzola #spoon #cheese #avignon #france
Damage marker on a building in Avignon, France. I don't think this is a fissuromètre, which allows the size of the crack to tracked. Apparently lots of buildings are cracking because of the heat, but there was an earthquake in 2019, too. #avignon #france #construction #architecture #restoration #building #repair #house
