I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers

Cholet is the residential seat of the Pays de la Loire regional theater. The Interlude theater, part of the Jean Guichard space, was built to replace the old municipal theater while awaiting the completion of the Espace Saint-Louis intercommunal theater inaugurated on September 28, 2012. This room can accommodate theater performances, concerts and conferences and has a capacity of 587 numbered seats plus thirteen places for people with reduced mobility .The municipal theater, in neo-classical style, located on Place Travot was inaugurated on October 5, 1886. Partly damaged by a fire on April 23, 1949 ; then completely restored, it was abandoned in 2011 and the interior was transformed into commercial space. Located at Rue Jean Vilar , a new intercommunal theater was built in 2012 on the site, the Espace Saint Louis.
A bit on the history of this transformation in the history of Cholet ,end of the Middle Ages, the construction of a religious establishment not far from the enclosure, inaugurated a movement of extension of the city towards the west. For six centuries, the islet has undergone profound transformations. The religious function of the origins gives way to a hospital activity which, while being partially maintained, will fade in the face of the rise in power of a cultural pole which accompanies the second millennium. At the beginning of the 15C, the Lord of Cholet granted land for the establishment of a community of monks. The minor brothers or Cordeliers will never be very numerous. In the following century, Franciscans settled next door. The community of Cordelières, rather prosperous until the French revolution, welcomes around forty members, including boarders. From 1797 to 1803, the Cordelières convent became the new headquarters of the hospital. Only the 1977 move brought this situation to an end. Decided at the end of the 20C, the rehabilitation of the hospital began in 1999. The first phase of work gave birth to the Conservatory of music, dance and dramatic art which opened its doors to the public in 2002. At the same time, the hospital chapel is transformed into an auditorium. The Saint Louis auditorium Jean Sebastian Bach! The second phase of work begins in 2010. The theater then emerges from the ground and allows us to imagine the configuration of the new Espace Saint-Louis which brings together training and dissemination activities related to the performing arts.

When I was studying the horn at the Conervatoire de Cholet, I can’t even remember the amount of concerts I must hvae played in the Espace Saint Louis, and the old chapel. They are both wonderful places to play.
