Paris1972-Versailles2003

Thanks God is Friday alright , and like I said, summer is finally here with temps today in the 25C in my area of Brittany. We are heading towards vacation time here in Friday from the National Day 14  July (popularly known as Bastille day), and until the rentrée or re entry of schools in September 3 in my area.

I start by saying that the harrassment on cars continues with more radars for speed been put in the Paris periphérique. Porte de Passy, Dauphiné,Sévres, Brancion, Champerret, Vincennes are some of the new entries. This couple with the fact that they is an intention from the government to increase the tolls/péages on the roads base on kilometers run on them, and past the extra cash to them and some about 40% to departments. Its all money and nothing on security.  They are looking at 1% tax in 2014, I will surely keep an eye on it. Happy Motoring in France, its easy.

In continue with transportation, the tramway T5 of Paris is now running test runs without passengers to eventually become operational  Test runs until July 29.  This tramway will put together the town of  Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis- 93) and Garges-Sarcelles (Val-d’Oise-95).

New Palais de Tokyo is having an international extravaganza; After “Soleil Froid”, the Palais de Tokyo experimented again and coached 30 galleries and art venues throughout Paris to make manifest the emergence of the figure of the curator. At the Palais de Tokyo, ‘New waves’ (nouvelles vagues) is a large demonstration composed by 21 curators or groups of international curators (13 nationalities), selected by a jury from among more than 500 applications. running thru Sept 9 2013. webpage http://www.palaisdetokyo.com/
