The weekly 138
I saw it on TV!
La television… In 1950, there were only 3,794 posts in France, while today almost 94% of households are equipped with at least one television set; a recent statistic reported an average of « 5.6 screens per fireplace ».
It is believed to be relatively recent; Actually, from now on. 1926, Scotsman John L. Baird (engineer) released the first images of moving objects. Over the years, the technique has improved: 1931, R. Barthélemy (French engineer) reissues Baird's exploit, using a « mirror drum » that he considers more efficient.
1935. The TV is getting talking: We had a great trip... are the first words broadcast, spoken by Béatrice Bretty, famous actress of the French Comedy.
1939. Cessation of programs due to war. But few French people are aware of this because there are hardly more than 300 posts throughout the country.. 1944. Resumption of programmes after the liberation of Paris.
1949. Jacqueline Joubert, first programme presenter and first television newspaper presented by Pierre Sabbagh.
1950. The birth of Eurovision ... only 3,700 posts, while two years later there will be 60,000 and almost 1 million in 1958.
And year after year, the technique progresses, the color appears and the chains multiply; There are dozens of them today!
– Where is our chain?
Patience... here she is!

Travel
My only regret is that I will no longer see Quebec and its inhabitants, among whom I have several friends.

I beat you! In 2005, I visited the Iguaçu Falls where I made three countries. There is the triple border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay...
It is true that on the Argentina side they are spectacular. Much more than the Niagara at what it was said... We would have liked to fly over them in helicopter, but the budget is opposed...
Imagine the discussion in Iguaçu, Argentina:
– Siu leaped messugues!
– Aqueu de cou iu siu ate lambert!...

I did that ride too, a year after you.
Paraguay does not own the smallest square metre of the falls of Iguazu, I write this for lovers of cards of which I am part.
In Europe, the most accessible limit of three states is that which limits Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany; I went there, there's not much to see, it's in a wood. Most of the others are in the mountains. Don't try to go to the meeting of Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey. You may not be well received.
Claude Boyer : translation
– Siu leaped messugues Hey! → I'm going to jump messugues!
– Aqueu de cou, iu siu ate lambert : → This one suddenly, I am eating lambert.
Neck surface : expression literally translated by « That one at once. » which is equivalent to « Like that! »
Jump messugues (local drinks) being the nickname of the Roquebrunois and Eat lambert (green lizards), the Pugétois.
A village in Provence
A village of Provence... Sunburn... Everything is quiet, quiet, quiet... At the end of the afternoon, when a start of freshness comes, the streets, the squares will revive...
This village is Roquebrune-sur-Argens, cradle of Passadoc!
– The population of Roquebrune has some 15,000 inhabitants... And nearly 60,000 in summer!
– The recorded history of the oldest part of the city of Roquebrune-sur-Argens began around 983.
– Rocher de Roquebrune, in red sandstone, stands 373 metres away and houses a range of fauna and flora. Hiking to the top is possible – and we strongly encourage!

Nice village... Ah! see a sunset on the Rock of Roquebrune...
Near the late boulodromes and CAR stadium.

Watch the goats!
Being a photographer is not always easy, and goats are not always the perfect subjects.
No configuration: it's real!
Do not approach your car from the goats to avoid surprises!!!
C‘was my 4L van that served as my bedroom when I went to remote areas!
