JACOB JR. MY JEWISH WORLD. PARIS: LA VILLE MET FIN AUX CADENAS D'AMOUR!

-


Shalom! Monde.

Elul 26, 5774.

La fin d’une polémique amoureuse et logistique ? La mairie de Paris a fait poser deux panneaux vitrés sur le Pont des Arts, à la place des grillages, précise-t-on à l’Hôtel de ville, «à titre d’expérimentation».

Les cadenas d’amour (ou love locks) que les touristes accrochent par dizaines de milliers sur ce petit pont qui enjambe la Seine, entre le quai de Conti (VIe) et la voie Georges Pompidou (Ie) vivent leurs dernières heures. Un troisième panneau vitré «léger et transparent», qui n’apporte «aucune pollution visuelle» sera installé «dans quelques jours».

La polémique durait depuis des mois. Les élus brandissaient les problème de sécurité que posaient ces cadenas sauvages, des problèmes d’esthétique et de patrimoine... Et cherchaient à enrayer ce phénomène qui a pris une ampleur inédite.

En juin dernier, une des grilles s’était effondrée, lestée de 500 kilos de métal... Il n’y avait pas eu de blessé. Mais les calculs étaient alarmants... Le poids total des cadenas du Pont des Arts s’élèverait à… 54 tonnes !

« Paris est la capitale de l’amour, nous en sommes tous très fiers, a martelé aujourd’hui Bruno Julliard , mais il y a de bien plus belles façons de manifester cet amour qu’en posant un cadenas sur un pont ».
Shalom! Aleichem.

Sunday, Kislev 15, 5778. December 3, 2017. Shalom! World. Green Caffè Nero, Nowy Swiat, 53. Warszawa/Poland. The blend ot Green Caffé Nero has remained the same unique since the year that the founder and owner, Gerry Ford, spent months working and crafting with John Ritzy, a master coffee roaster, and his Probat in a smal room beneath London Bridge. He knew exactly what he was looking for to start Green Caffé Nero: that rich, persistent roast that spoke of his time living in Italy and that has now became so familiar to us all. It was 1997, 20-years ago. The beans required to achieve this distictive flavour, however, aren't easy to find. G.C.N. source handpicked beans from higher altitudes and rich soils across a variety of origins to get the kind the quality that will complement the meticulous methods, providing the richness and flavour that G.C.N. simply won't compromisse on. After all these years, G.C.N. come to think of it as an art. There's no rushin...
