L'abbaye de Roseland mise à la vente par la ville de Nice... pour y construire des logements de luxe? - Nice matin

En 2010, la Ville promettait une véritable renaissance à l’abbaye de Roseland, implantée sur la colline de Fabron et laissée à l’abandon. Des travaux étaient entrepris et deux projets étaient en lice pour remettre de la vie au cœur de cette vaste demeure - qui n’a jamais été une abbaye - construite en 1763. Une maison d’artistes ou un lieu pour les évènements culturels. À terme, et toujours selon la Ville, elle pouvait devenir une maison d’écrivains. Huit ans après, c’est un autre projet qui était dévoilé. La "Fondation paysages" devait y être hébergée, afin "de rassembler scientifiques et artistes pour penser autrement le paysage" . Une idée défendue par l’un des grands paysagistes contemporains, Michel Péna et soutenue par Christian Estrosi... La page Facebook est créée avec une photo de l’abbaye. Et puis? Rien. Plus rien. Jusqu’à ce 16 janvier 2023. Une offre de 3,5 millions d’euros Le "groupe de travail spécialisé pour la vente des biens communaux"

How a verbal miscue spawned a video and a giant snow sculpture in tiny N.B. village - CBC.ca

Image
 It all started with a verbal misunderstanding that led to the creation of a song.  And then a music video. And now a 16-foot-tall snow sculpture. Marc LeBlanc, also known as Marc à Paul à Jos, said he wrote the song, The Elephant from Neguac , after he visited the village in northeastern New Brunswick and ran into a resident who recognized him. During their chat, "She actually asked if I had gone to see Hays Island, or l'île-aux-foins," he said.  But, LeBlanc thought he heard the French pronunciation of the word elephant — l'éléphant. "My French accent is different from theirs so sometimes people have difficulty understanding me, but I also have difficulty understanding others," said LeBlanc, who is from Digby, Nova Scotia.    Marc LeBlanc, or Marc à Paul à Jos, said it's been great to see such a positive reaction to his song and music video.
