Min’atoa Station Post Mortem
Min’atoa Station, my 6-month capstone project for my Game Development course at Yoobee Colleges, in which I fall down a rabbit hole, drown in a pool of tears and learn to make magic.  Or, less poetically, scope too big, lose and remake multiple assets multiple times, and launch a game that falls well short of my goal - yet shows a glimpse of a potentially amazing experience. 
My aim was a linear 3D narrative game - think Gone Home in a Myst type setting with a terrorist theme.. I reckon I got halfway, so there’s only 90% left to go. 
Tumblr media
Team vs Solo 
Tutors urged us to push our boundaries, and in my Goodest Boi team I stretched my wings into new areas and thrived. In other teams (whether real or not) I’d felt held back by low expectations. My mantra was ‘play big’. I love to learn, and that means embracing looking stupid, stumbling before you can walk. I chose a solo project, so I’d be propelled to shine, and I was pleased I did. The gasps of surprise from the class even at my prototype were validating. A teacher once said more learners rust out than burn out - having a tutor that believed in me created its own empowerment magic.
New Idea vs Darling 
I was torn between:
A new game, designed for addictive game-play loops, replayability, marketing hooks, commercial 
Min’atoa - unknown market, unproven gameplay, not replayable, huge scope, high risk. 
The gamedev mantra “kill your darlings” echoed in my head. I brainstormed great alternatives that I loved. And yet, YOLO, carpe diem. I left a ‘safe’ life doing what I was told for this. The window was open - now or never.  I’d never “finish” Min’atoa left to my own devices. It needed a structure for existence - the force-field of deadlines, accountability, of expert help. I knew it was too big, so I ‘maimed’ my darling - reduce scope, use existing assets, basic textures, no puzzles - just a story game. That seemed do-able (cue evil laughter). So I talked myself into ‘story-only-Min’atoa.’ Call me crazy, but I don’t regret it.
Tumblr media
Tools
I got overwhelmed.comparing narrative tools: Inkle, Twine, Yarnspinner, Ren’Py, Ink. Prairie, Fungus, Novel-software, Scrivener. My author friend Peter cut through my angst by wryly observing that Shakespeare used a quill pen. For my Myst-type story - linear, non-branching, no dialogue - Google docs was fine!  
Writers Block
Although I had a plot, I couldn’t start. Tutor Matt P got me to put story beats in linear time order, then rearrange them into the order the story needed. Write short  ‘memory joggers’ of each plot movement onto Post-It notes. This simple process broke the writer’s block. 
Tumblr media
Later, I found myself blocked again, and dedicated an entire week turning these brief notes into strings of story.
Tumblr media
Story gating
Player autonomy is a key feature of game design. In game writing, each story elements has to stand on its own in whatever order players come across them, and the plot still has to make sense.  So story games build artificial ‘gates’ to order key story elements (eg in locked rooms), to achieve greater dramatic tension and plot cohesion,  
I fit the plot into the game’s natural gates: portal, balcony, room, and controller balcony, and Arrivals (and later,,Departures) desk drawers; Doors opened with buttons, and crystal docks.. I felt clever making drawer locks, and hiding keys and crystals. The gates were not infallible, but ‘good enough’ in playtesting. 
Tumblr media
The downside was, the story game became a puzzle game. It changed how players played, from a slow pace that encouraged reading, to active, testing interactable objects to see what they did. In retrospect, i wish I’d deliberately designed for the slower game feel of Gone Home, where players interact with passive objects whose function was to add atmosphere.
Story Element Workflow
There were 25 notices and 21 letters, each with two gameObjects - players click on a 3D object in the scene, to bring up UI with its matching 2D readable. This meant 92 assets whose materials change when I edit their words. A simple workflow was essential. 
Playtesters noted the 25 notices were easily legible; that removed 25 UI assets. 
Tumblr media
For the 21 letters, I felt clever about my idea of stationery. I made stationery (paper, design and font) for each character (Tris, S’tiel, Priestess and Council). Each in-game letter automatically populated its UI stationery with a text string. Instead of 21 UI assets, I only needed four.
Tumblr media
I was smug about this at first - I’d polish text; and the UI automatically updated. But for beta, for the first time I had to have textures on all 46 3D documents. It was an awful workflow. I’d play through, click on each letter or notice, bring up UI stationery with its unique string, snip it, create 46 materials from the snips, and tile these to fit each gameObject. 
It was so tedious to change materials, it created a mental barrier to improving the text, even if it was way too long, or made me cringe. I deleted eight noticeboard posters that were too embarrassing. I left “Lorem Ipsum” text on most letters. I wish I’d fixed these. I did find ways to automate this process, but events overtook (see refactoring section) so I didn’t get time to code this.  
Tumblr media
Localisation
The more words, the more difficult and expensive is localisation, reducing the potential market, if I were doing it again, I would aim to 
reduce word count dramatically, and use more images
have illegible 3D textures (see for example Zelda, Breath of the Wild) or develop an alien text / symbols
retain the process of populating 2D UI assets with strings, so that it would be easy to populate strings in different languages.
Prioritise Your Intuition
Sam Fleury, Runaway Play gave an NZGDC talk on prioritising your intuition to reduce burnout and improve personal effectiveness. He noted that our tendency to try to ‘push through’ a wall was often driven by feeling unworthy. It often led to bad code (or other work) that had to be redone. 
When I noticed my brain clearly saw the chains of logic, I coded quickly and cleanly When my ‘programming mind’ lost it’s edge, went ‘fuzzy’, if I continued to push I wrote bad code, and felt burnt out. I found it took an active decision to resist the ‘imposter syndrome’ urge to push on. I’d step back, take a rest, or pivot to a task that used another part of the brain (art or story).  
I took note of sunshine, various foods, coffee and rest affected my focus and set up the right environment. Dancing barefoot on the grass is great therapy.
Tumblr media
More often than not, when I came back I’d see a bigger picture, and pivot to a different priority, or to a fresh, cleaner approach. I’d never pivot when I was nose to the grindstone. 
I heartily recommend this practice. It was vital for a solo dev on a big scope game.  Pacing myself was not costly, I wrote better code in less time with less stress. And it might seem obvious, but burnt out, tired devs don’t make games that are fun, intriguing, and delightful,
Attributions  
I wanted assets that left the option open to allow commercial use. This hugely limited choice for the game’s many imported assets: ~20 sound effects, music,  five fonts, five paper textures and plugins, . 
I recommend designing a good filing system for attributions. I did record them as I went, but not in one place. Finding them months later cost time I’d rather spend on my game. 
Brian and I made most of the images and icons from scratch. But right at the end I realised an image used fan art I’d made for #Myst25 from Riven, a game by Cyan Worlds, Commercial use violated their very generous terms for fan art.
Tumblr media
I wrote to Cyan, saying I’d remove it, but it’d be a lovely Easter egg for Myst fans. Hannah Gamiel, Director of Development, Cyan Inc immediately wrote back to give permission to use it, which was typical of the lovely Cyan approach to their fans. 
Tumblr media
Refactoring
We’d planned for Brian being away for 3 months OE, but didn’t factor in a month to reinstate his melted server and hospital with pneumonia. Since Yoobee had only Unity 2018, I’d coded the prototype, Sabotage, from scratch in 3 weeks. 
Tumblr media
Once Yoobee got Unity 2019, I reverted to Min’atoa with Brian’s code, which was robust and elegantly effective, But since we were both new to Unity it used unusual approaches - event signals, listeners via parented assets, and master controllers with enums. After painfully watching me struggle, my tutor Woody spelt out the stark choice: strip out Brian’s code and he’d help me rebuild it, or struggle on alone. 
I chose to strip it out. I really wanted to step up at coding, and Woody was brilliant at it. Although Min’atoa would not be finished to the level I wanted in other areas, I could do the writing and art later.  
Deleting two years of scripts left 416 fatal errors; removing ‘missing scripts’ from assets took hours. It would be an enormous task to rebuild. I brutally trimmed my asset list of Brian’s features (a fully functional inventory, and putting items down). and features I’d planned (writing, art, animations, codes and puzzles). 
Then I got intensive tutoring from Woody. I learned: 
keep it simple - add complexity only as required 
use prefabs - get one asset completely right, then 20 others work 
get the essentials (story gates) working - doors, drawers, lifts and locks. .. 
Within a month, most of the functions worked again. My crowning achievement was replacing Brian’s inventory with a scroll-selectable list that appears on hover (over a lock that takes multiple items) and shows what carried items fit in. 
Tumblr media
I was also pleased to get different endings working (including one that pivots the whole scene).  I’ll never know what Min’atoa would be if I’d made the other decision, but I do know I would not have learned as much as I did.
The biggest code drawback was no inventory for the 21 letters,they’re just lost . The player can’t refer back to any letter they’d collected. Woody had shown me how to do it, but I spent the remaining time fixing bugs I had, and improving art and gameplay. This is such a major drawback that if I get time, I’d like to issue a patch for it, and I (think) I now know enough to do it. . 
Result 
I launched a game that I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, I have another game in my public itch.io portfolio. Overall, for pretty much a solo game made in a limited time, it showcases my capabilities and adds to my credibility as a  game developer. 
On the other hand, I wish it were more fun, that the story was better, the puzzles more difficult, the game design was more complete. The main failing with the game was the story. I have so much to learn and I plan to fully engage with expert writing mentors next year to learn to
create empathy and connection with the main characters 
reveal through what’s not said, rather than tell
reduce word count (strict 140 character limit per item) 
use environmental storytelling.
Given the need to limit scope, I only included very basic puzzles, that were not at the level of complexity or engagement of good competitors, like Aporia or Eastshade. Brian and I had designed more complex puzzles, but specifically removed those for scope reasons. If I were to do it again, I would prioritise adding to the puzzle component in simple ways such as:
embed hidden clues, codes and hints
add images, sketches and drawings . 
Not having clues to choose different endings is a major omission. For much of the development, I placed puzzle items to make life easy for me, rather than for the player’s satisfaction, The player finds them in obvious places, one after the other repetitively, instead of having to use deductive reasoning.
Tumblr media
I would put more time into thinking about how to make it fun for the player to discover hidden items, work out lore-logical places for them, and hint at their location rather than make it so obvious. 
Conclusion
There are definitely things I want to improve in Min’atoa Station, but for now, the game is out ‘as is’. 
Next time I’d invest time early to “find the fun”. Find the fun in the story, puzzles, and gameplay from the player’s perspective as early as possible and build from a solid base of a proven enjoyable gameplay experience. 
At the end, my measure is not even the game. but instead what I have learned. I'm a person with new skills. Looking back my progress seems humbling and miraculous. In 2017, I first clumsily opened Photoshop, my first ever digital tool. In 2019, I made Min’atoa Station, a credible 3D game. Without diminishing Brian’s enormous contribution, or that of my tutors, it was ‘my game’. I designed the world, characters, story, gameplay, modeled and textured 3D assets, 2D assets, the menus, animations, lighting, audio, did the voice acting,  used many plugins and more..I ended up coding everything, I listened and learnt, I asked for help and got lots, I struggled and fought and.. Lo. 
As I reflect on the end of my time at Yoobee, my journey as a game developer has been, and I hope will continue to be, intense and exhilarating. To me, it’s been an incredible privilege to learn to make worlds from my imagination come to life.

In questo articolo scopriremo quali sono i 10 luoghi da vedere in Normandia. La Normandia è vertiginose scogliere, graziosi villaggi fioriti, spiagge ricche di storia ma anche di poesia e molto altro ancora.
Prima di cominciare vi lascio queste righe tratte dal mio romando L’amore a Colpi di Champagne per trasmettervi le mie sensazioni sulla meravigliosa Normandia
“La culla dell’impressionismo, con affaccio sulla Manica, è un luogo bellissimo già al primo approccio. La Normandia, sconosciuta a molti, in realtà è un luogo per tutti! Per gli intellettuali e amanti dell’arte in quanto patria e buen retiro di un numero indefinito di pittori impressionisti e di scrittori, mi vengono in mente Proust, Guy de Moupassant, Gustave Flaubert, Dumas. Per i buongustai è terra di perdizione tra calvados, ostriche e strepitosi formaggi. Per gli appassionati di storia è il luogo dello sbarco più famoso della storia ma è anche la terra che ha portato al rogo Giovanna d’Arco. Per i romantici è il posto ideale grazie al meraviglioso paesaggio tra mare, natura e borghi caratteristici, con una costa ricca di località balneari e paesaggi bucolici che ti resteranno nello sguardo molto a lungo.”
Eccoli qui di seguito i dieci luoghi da non perdere in  Normandia.
1. Étretat, Costa d’Alabastro
Immancabile tappa nella Costa d’Alabasto è la celeberrima e magnifica Étretat, ora luogo turistico a tutti gli effetti sempre molto suggestivo, un tempo meraviglioso villaggio di pescatori, incastonato fra le due falesie più note della costa, alle quali deve la propria fama: la Falaise d’Aval e la Falaise d’Amont.
Étretat è uno straordinario esempio di architettura naturale a cielo aperto. Vi affascinerà come ha affascinato Claude Monet. La particolarità delle falesie di Étretat è che sono costituite da un particolare tipo di gesso, il Turoniano, che ha la capacità di resistere in modo notevole ai fenomeni di erosione che altrove sono molto più evidenti. L’ideale sarebbe trascorrere almeno un giorno e una notte ad Étretat, in modo da riuscire a visitare le falesie, sul posto scoprirete che non sempre è possibile visitare la base delle falesie, lo decide la marea, consultando l’apposita tabella capirete se la marea è favorevole, da quanto si è ritirata e tra quante ore dovrebbe risalire.
Incamminatevi lungo il sentiero escursionistico che conduce alla Falesia d’Aval. Da questo punto è possibile ammirare l’Arco della Manneporte. La gigantesca volta naturale creatasi da una propaggine della scogliera che fa restare a bocca aperta. Guy de Maupassant la descrisse come un elefante che beve nel mare e Monet l’ha ritratta in un suo celebre dipinto, trascorrendo un intero inverno a immortalarla in ogni condizione atmosferica.
Per visitare la Falaise d’Amont bisogna prendere una scalinata che parte dalla battigia. Duecentocinquanta scalini più tardi, raggiungiamo la cima della Falaise d’Amont e da alcune sporgenze rocciose riusciamo ad ammirare il panorama dall’alto e, a parte la sensazione di vertigine, la vista è mozzafiato!
Tra gli altri personaggi che furono ospiti di Étretat: gli scrittori Hugo e Flaubert, il compositore Offenbach e i pittori Coubert e Boudin. Anche Maurice Leblanc, l’inventore del famoso ladro gentiluomo Arsène (Arsenio) Lupin, giornalista normanno, nato a Rouen, fece soggiornare il protagonista dei suoi romanzi qui, a Étretat. La nipote dello scrittore ha allestito nella casa di famiglia: le Clos Arsène Lupin, dedicato all’universo enigmatico del nonno.
Se siete a Étretat dovete fare visita Les Jardins d’Étretat che si affacciano sulla Falaise d’Aval, voluti da Madame Thébault, attrice degli inizi del XX secolo, amica di Monet e, appunto, iniziatrice del giardino. Il giardino è stato disegnato da Alexandre Grivko che vanta un primato da record per la progettazione di oltre 500 giardini e lo sviluppo di 100 progetti pubblici e privati su larga scala.
Scopri qui gli altri villaggi della Costa d’Alabastro da non perdere!

2. Côte Fleurie: Honfleur, Deauville, Trouvile sur Mer e Cabourg
Da Honfleur a Cabourg la Costa fiorita regala magia ai viaggiatori sin dal diciottesimo  secolo. All’epoca infatti era la meta di ricchi vacanzieri provenienti dall’intera Francia e dal sud dell’Inghilterra, che si concedevano rilassanti vacanze nelle bellissime ville fronte mare che potete ammirare in particolare a Trouville a Deauville.
Ma vediamoli uno per uno questi villaggi bellissimi: la marinara Honfleur, l’affascinate Trouville, la snob Deauville e la romantica Cabourg.
Honfleur
Un antico borgo marinaro dal fascino unico, dall’atmosfera d’antan e rarefatta, che vive attorno al porto, dove passare un paio di notti romantiche a bordo di un veliero ormeggiato. E concedervi una cena a lume di candela in uno dei tanti ristoranti affacciati sull’estuario della Senna, a sperimentare la cucina tipica nei ristoranti di pesce che servono specialità come  gamberi, sogliole, capesante, sgombri e le celebri moules frites (cozze servite con patatine fritte).
La zona centrale è da percorrere a piedi, tra le stradine puntellate di porfido dei pittoreschi vicoletti con le tipiche case a graticcio, le caratteristiche botteghe e tanti bistro. Baudelaire era molto legato a questo luogo dall’aria antica e autentica e basta attraversare la piazza lastricata e raggiungere il vecchio porto per capirne le ragioni.
Pochi sono i luoghi che, come questo, hanno fatto da sfondo a tanti personaggi dell’arte, alcuni vi sono nati e altri ancora hanno trovato in queste terre un rifugio sicuro. Ogni angolo trasuda di fascino e arte.
La cittadina è stata immortalata dai più grandi pittori e, ancora oggi, esercita un incredibile fascino, su artisti che continuano a venire a Honfleur per dipingere i paesaggi e i luoghi del suo prestigioso passato storico e marittimo. Le luci cangianti della notte che riflettono sull’estuario della Senna hanno ispirato Courbet, Monet, Boudin e molti altri e ancora oggi sono numerose le gallerie che espongono opere di pittori del passato e contemporanei.
Honfleur
Trouville-sur-Mer
Per raggiungere Trouville da Honfleur è d’obbligo scegliere la Route de la Corniche, la strada panoramica che costeggia la collina e si affaccia sul mare, nel primo tratto la strada è costeggiata dalla vegetazione e oltre le siepi di recinzione lo sguardo sarà attirato dalle famose tipiche abitazioni con la chioma, le chaumerie, un tempo modeste dimore di contadini, oggi abitazioni ricercate. Ce ne sono di stupende, con giardini fioriti, tante ortensie a recintare le proprietà e in molti casi cavalli allo stato brado.
Arrivati a Trouville dall’alto della strada vedrete il mare e le bellissime ed eleganti ville di che vi si affacciano. Trouville-sur-Mer infatti conquista tutti per il suo fascino glamour e l’elegante architettura delle sue ville affacciate sul litorale dalla sabbia finissima.
L’elegante e raffinata Trouville è stata amata da scrittori come Dumas, Flaubert e Proust e se il litorale è noto per le ville dall’elegante architettura il suo centro  storico è puntellato di case colorate di pescatori e da incantevoli punti panoramici, come quelli che regala l’escalier du serpent, una vertiginosa scalinata con 100 gradini.
Nella zona del porto si trova il caratteristico mercato del pesce al coperto e moltissimi locali e ristoranti dove è d’obbligo fermarsi a pranzo o a cena.
Trouville sur Mer Spiaggia
Trouville sur Mer
Deauville
Deauville è certamente più pretenziosa e snob rispetto a Trouville, due località gemelle, divise da un ponte, ma con caratteri diversi. Deauville ha boutique esclusive, un casinò frequentato da personaggi in vista, della moda e dello spettacolo. Ci ha vissuto, tra gli altri, anche Wiston Churchill. Deauville è la celeberrima località di villeggiatura, meta preferita dai parigini e per questo definita il 21 Arrondisement nonché città dove visse e operò la Mademoiselle per antonomasia: Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel.
Il lungomare si presenta ordinato ed elegante, la spiaggia con ombrelloni colorati dove non ci sarà mai la folla e l’atmosfera è incredibile, sembra di essere in un film. Les Planches è una famosa passeggiata della spiaggia di Deauville.
Altro luogo da visitare è la splendida Villa Strassburger, in stile alsaziano con dettagli normanni, fu dimora di Gustave Flaubert; una passeggiata nel suo parco infonde pace e serenità; nelle vicinanze della villa ci sono molti hotel dove soggiornare.
Altro edificio caratteristico è il Municipio, una bellissima costruzione al centro del paese con caratteristiche tipiche alsaziane e anglo-normanne, come tutte le case della piccola cittadina francese. Qui i cavalli sono un’istituzione e non è raro vedere cavallerizzi in groppa cavalcare in riva al mare all’alba come al tramonto, per gli appassionati di corse di cavalli consiglio l’Hippodrome Deauville La Tou-ques; un impianto moderno e molto curato nei dettagli.
Il giro turistico di Deauville e dei suoi dintorni si può fare anche con le Petit Train de Deauville che arriva fino in spiaggia. Acquisto il biglietto!
La spiaggia di Deauville
Cabourg
Diciotto chilometri separano Cabourg da Deauville che è situata sull’estuario della Dives. Consiglio come itinerario la strada che costeggia il mare passando per Benerville-sur-Mer, Blonville-sur-Mer, Villers-sur-Mer, Auberville, Houlgate e Dives-sur-Mer.
Cabourg è una tappa da non perdere, in quanto località balneare famosa per l’atmosfera belle epoque e ne sono tangibile dimostrazione le ville dell’alta borghesia e dell’aristocrazia parigina di inizio novecento disposte attorno al Casinò e al Grand Hotel.
Dalla spiaggia, oltre una fila ordinata di pittoreschi ombrelloni con tendine paravento a righe bianche e beige, ammirerete il maestoso Grand Hotel, che ospitò in molte occasioni lo scrittore Marcel Proust. A separare l’hotel dalla spiaggia infatti la Promenade che prende il nome dallo scrittore e che regala una passeggiata di un paio di chilometri immersi in un’atmosfera leggera a raffinata e dove ammirare il mare e il cielo si fondono in un’unica sfumatura di colore.
3. Bayeux
La carinissima Bayeux, vanta un ricco e importante passato e possiede un cospicuo patrimonio culturale e artistico, molto ben conservato, in quanto miracolosamente risparmiata dalla distruzione dei bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale. Questo fa sì che conservi intatto tutto il suo fascino medievale, ne sono dimostrazione le sue caratteristiche stradine, i suoi canali con i mulini, le chiese, la totale assenza di modernità, nonché la mancanza di industrie nell’imminente periferia.
Bayeux deve la sua fama internazionale al famosissimo arazzo medievale, Patrimonio dell’Umanità dell’Unesco. 68 metri di tela di lino dipinta, scampata miracolosamente alle razzie naziste in quanto nascosta in uno scantinato del Louvre.
La Tapisserie de Bayeux è, senza dubbio, una delle più importanti testimonianze del Medioevo: narra i principali episodi che hanno permesso al duca di Normandia, Guglielmo detto il Bastardo (in quanto figlio naturale del duca Roberto e della figlia di un conciatore di pelli) di conquistare il trono d’Inghilterra e di diventare Guglielmo il Conquistatore.
Racconta gli eventi dal 1064 al 1066, anno della decisiva battaglia di Hastings, e per farlo mette in scena 623 persone, 505 animali di specie differenti, 202 tra cavalli e bestie da soma, 55 cani, 41 imbarcazioni e 49 alberi è composto da otto elementi cuciti tra loro, con fili di lana di otto colori diversi, fino a formare una specie di fumetto del Medioevo, scritto nella stoffa, anziché su carta.
L’arazzo, che dovrebbe essere stato prodotto a Canterbury, fu tessuto tra il 1070 e il 1077 per volere del vescovo Odone, il fratellastro di Guglielmo il Conquistatore. Fu esposto, a partire dal 1476, nella cattedrale di Bayeux. Dal 1724 che l’arazzo iniziò a interessare gli studiosi e che venne prima compresa la sua importanza.
Cattedrale di Bayeux
4. Arromanches-les-Bains e le spiagge dello sbarco
Qui sbarcarono 2 milioni e mezzo di soldati, 4 milioni di tonnellate di equipaggiamento e 500.000 veicoli. Stazione balneare, incastonata tra le falesie è una delle spiagge più importanti per la liberazione dell’Europa dalla gogna nazista. Musei, cimiteri, musei e vedute panoramiche sono stati creati per far capire al visitatore che cosa ha rappresentato lo Sbarco in Normandia. La visita al Musée du Débarquement fa conoscere tutti i dettagli dell’operazione. Presso Arromanches 360, in una sala circolare viene proiettato il filmato The Price of Freedom, un’emozionante resoconto della battaglia. Nei mesi estivi c’è da fare la coda.
Omaha Beach 
Lungo questi 7 chilometri di costa si è combattuta la battaglia più drammatica e cruenta dell’operazione. Il momento dello sbarco, fu un vero massacro di americani che tentavano di raggiungere la spiaggia mentre i tedeschi, dall’alto delle dune di sabbia, sparavano senza sosta.
Juno Beach 
Presso la spiaggia di Berniéres-sur-mer sbarcarono le forze militari canadesi. Presso Juno Beach Centre è possibile capire quale ruolo ha avuto il Canada nell’offensiva militare in cui persero la vita oltre 45.000 canadesi.
Utah Beach 
Su questa spiaggia, all’alba del 6 giugno 1944, toccarono per primi il suolo francese i soldati dell’ottavo reggimento di fanteria americani portati vicino alla riva da 20 chiatte da sbarco. In parecchi persero la vita sia a causa del fuoco nemico ma anche per annegamento a causa dell’eccessivo peso dell’equipaggiamento e delle armi in dotazione. Al Musée du Débarquement potrete conoscere tutti i dettagli di quella giornata storica attraverso fotografie e reperti autentici.
Ci sono altri luoghi da visitare dedicati allo sbarco, questi sono i più importanti.
Arromanches-les-Bains
5. La Penisola de La Hague
La Penisola de La Hague, una zona aspra e incontaminata, dove la natura è assoluta protagonista. Il paesaggio è aspro, selvaggio, con scogliere vertiginose, muretti a secco, case in pietra, i tanti animali al pascolo, perlopiù mucche e cavalli – in Normandia se ne trovano in abbondanza – che puntellano i prati verde smeraldo che ricordano appunto l’Irlanda.
La costa è spazzata dai venti e le sue fredde acque cristalline rendono le spiagge dei veri paradisi per surfisti, non è una zona battuta dal turismo di massa e questo è solo un vantaggio. Il mood è perdersi per qualche ora imboccando stradine che non si sa dove portino, salvo scoprire che regalano paesaggi e scorci stupendi e che infine conducono a spiagge, scogliere e fari lungo la costa.
Infatti incontrerete tutta una serie di splendidi borghi dove abitazioni in pietra circondate da giardini perfetti contornati da ortensie di tutti i colori sono un must, non c’è casa che non abbia straripanti siepi di ortensie.
Eccoli alcuni di questi villaggi:
Omonville-la-Petite
Qui è sepolto Jacques Prévert, in questo minuscolo comune di 128 abitanti nel dipartimento della Manica, il famoso poeta ha passato gli ultimi momenti della sua vita. Qui c’è la sua casa-museo, ma anche se non siete appassionati di letteratura – peggio per voi – i meravigliosi scorci, il paesaggio bucolico che sembra uscito da un dipinto sono motivo sufficiente per una visita, purché siate animi romantici. 
Omonville-la-Petite
Saint-Germain-des-Vaux, PORT RACINE
Questo è il porto di ancoraggio più piccolo di Francia, situato nella punta Ovest più estrema del Cotentin deve il nome al corsaro Françoise Médard Racine, vassallo di Napoleone che lo costruì nel 1813, la sua idea era trovare, in questo magnifico angolo di mondo, rifugio ma anche attaccare con la sua goletta “Embuscade” le navi che passavano per questa striscia di costa. Distrutto fu poi ricostruito, tra il 1870 e il 1886, dai pescatori del posto. Un autentico angolo di paradiso, riparato dalla collina che lo avvolge che, in questa stagione, è carica di ortensie. Da Port Racine è possibile fare una passeggiata sul sentiero del Litorale gr 223.
Il piccolo Port Racine
Goury
Piccola ma molto affascinante. Il faro circondato da un arenile fatto dei tipici ciottoli (galet), venne costruito nel 1837 per segnalare la costa alle navi di passaggio che troppo spesso naufragavano a causa delle fortissime correnti marine. Nell’area circostante mucche al pascolo, cavalli allo stato brado e stormi di gabbiani che si librano in cielo.

La Baie d’Écalgrain  
Già percorrendo la strada tra le colline verdi si nota la baia alla base della scogliera, un’insenatura naturale che non ha visto la mano dell’uomo trasformarla. Fermatevi, anche lungo la strada senza scendere, se non avete tempo, almeno qualche minuto ad ammirare e ad assaporare dall’alto la bellezza selvaggia del paesaggio. La spiaggia, incastonata tra le falesie ricoperte da un manto erboso verde brillante, accoglie il mare in un continuo susseguirsi di onde che si infrangono sulla battigia. Con la bassa marea affiorano piacevoli cordoli rocciosi. Meraviglioso! Attraverso una passerella si può arrivare alla spiaggia.

Jobourg – Le Nez de Jobourg
A Nez de Jobourg, le scogliere più alte dell’Europa continentale, vi troverete a osservare dall’alto dei suoi 128 metri, falesie vertiginose e sotto un mare che s’infrange fragoroso sulla costa, il vento che vi massaggia il viso, il cielo terso e il paesaggio incontaminato sono uno spettacolo autentico. Davanti a voi potete scorgere le Isole del Canale. Sul posto c’è un ristorante e si mangia pure bene. Ricordatevi per visitare la zona, anche in piena estate, è meglio essere muniti di giubbotto, io avevo il trench ma era freddino, meglio il piumino.

6. Granville e l’arcipelago Chausey
La particolarità di Granville è sicuramente la città alta (Haute-Ville), circondata da mura a strapiombo sul mare, fu fortificata dagli Inglesi nel XV secolo e conserva ancora oggi le tracce del suo passato militare e religioso sono molto tangibili. Un tempo era patria di corsari, bucanieri e pirati fedelissimi ai re francesi.
A passeggio lungo le strade di ciottoli si respirano antiche atmosfere e si gode di un panorama fantastico sul mare e su incantevoli spiagge. La cittadella è disseminata di locali e ristoranti e le sue case di granito e i caratteristici palazzi che affacciano sugli stretti e pittoreschi vicoli la rendono davvero peculiare. Concedetevi un pranzetto o una cena in una delle tante Crêperie, magari consumando la prelibatezze locali come le crepes ma anche le galette bretonne, qui siamo molto vicini alla Bretagna, e questo è il motivo per cui ci ristoranti che propongono le tipiche pietanze bretoni.
La parte bassa della città ruota attorno al porto. In questa zona, ricca di locali e ristoranti, mentre consumate un aperitivo o una cena vi capiterà di assistere allo spettacolo che regala la marea; vedrete le imbarcazioni ormeggiate che da posante su un fianco adagiate alla sabbia  perché la marea si è completamente ritirata, nel giro di dieci minuti, tornano a galleggiare perché, si sa, la marea sale alla velocità di un cavallo al galoppo.
Il porto di Granville è l’attracco delle compagnie che collegano le isole Chausey e le isole anglo-normanne di Jersey, Guernesey e Sercq e dato che vi trovate a Granville, con un breve viaggio in traghetto, vale la pena visitare le isole Chausey dove patria di foche, delfini e uccelli.
A Granville c’è la casa natale di Christian Dior, oggi diventata museo www.musee-dior-granville.com ci ha vissuto i primi anni della sua infanzia, fino al 1911, anno in cui la famiglia si trasferì a Parigi. Lo stilista è sempre rimasto molto legato alla sua casa sulla scogliera con vista mozzafiato sul mare del Nord, tanto che nella sua autobiografia Christian Dior et moi, dichiarò “la casa della mia infanzia… ne conservo un ricordo tenero e meravigliato. Che dire? La mia vita, il mio stile, devono quasi tutto alla sua posizione, alla sua architettura”.

7. Le-Mont-Saint-Michel
Da qualsiasi punto di vista la baia di Mont Saint-Michel è meravigliosa. La sabbia e i pascoli erbosi, il mare e il cielo che si dividono l’orizzonte, i giochi di luce in un paesaggio che si evolve in continuazione e che rendo Le-Mont-Saint-Michel uno dei luoghi più magici della terra.
Il fascino del borgo medievale con l’imponente Abbazia che lo domina e la baia circostante con lo spettacolo straordinario e suggestivo che offrono le sue maree resteranno impressi nella mente per molto tempo, dall’alto del borgo è incredibile la vista che si gode sulla baia.
Se volete saperne di più su Le Mont Saint Michel le trovate in questo articolo.

8. Rouen
Una città che appare quasi un museo tanto da meritarsi l’appellativo di Ville Musée, un gioiello architettonico dove arte, storia e cultura si fondono magistralmente. Viene soprannominata la città dei 100 campanili e basta farci un giro per capirne la ragione, va girata assolutamente a piedi. Solo così è possibile ammirare i suoi tanti scorci differenti, restare stupiti dalle sue case a graticcio di una varietà incredibile di colori, solo così è possibile ammirare le stradine lastricate e le chiese gotiche.
Non perdetevi Place Saint-Marc e uno dei suoi mercati, dato che la Normandia è famosa per i suoi formaggi, questo è il posto migliore di Rouen dove acquistarli, anche Rue Armand Carrel è una via dove fare acquisti gastronomici, tantissime le botteghe, molte sono gastronomie tipiche francesi. Dalla piazza si arriva in Rue Martanville dove si trovano bellissime case a graticcio colorate, la via termina proprio nei pressi della Chiesa di Saint Maclau, in stile gotico domina una piazzetta dove affacciano altre bellissime case a graticcio. La chiesa merita un’occhiata è un vero e proprio gioiello.
Da vedere anche la Cattedrale di Notre Dame, la più importante dalla città, la sua guglia raggiunge i 151 metri ed è la più alta di tutta Francia. La cattedrale è stata il soggetto di più tele del pittore impressionista Monet. Impossibile non percorrere Rue du Gros Horologe, dove ovviamente oltre alle ricorrenti case a graticcio delle quali è disseminata la città troviamo la volta del Gros Horologe, l’arcata in stile gotico e rinascimentale con il celeberrimo orologio astronomico decorato a soggetti allegorici, in cima al quadrante, un oculo, ospita una sfera che indica le fasi lunari.
Se ci capitate d’estate potrete godere dello spettacolo delle luci e immagini animate che, da luglio a settembre, vengono proiettate sulla facciata della Cattedrale di Notre-Dame, uno spettacolo con musiche e colori coinvolgenti, assolutamente da vedere! A noi era capitato a Reims (Champagne) di vedere uno spettacolo simile.
Rouen
La volta del Gros Horologe
Se vi trovate in zona e siete appassionati di letteratura non perdete occasione per visitare i luoghi di Madame Bovary: Yonville-l’Abbaye nel romanzo, Ry nella realtà. Piccola e ridente cittadina a mezz’ora da Rouen di nemmeno 1000 anime, dove si sono svolte le vicende della famiglia Delamare. Il villaggio offre tante testimonianze dei suoi legami col romanzo come la Galerie Bovary Musée d’Automates che ricostruisce scene tratte dal libro o l’église Saint-Sulpice con il suo meraviglioso portico in legno e le tombe della famiglia Delamare, oltre alle diverse targhe intitolare a Gustave Flaubert disseminate per tutta la città e le insegne dei vari locali e negozi che fanno menzione di Madame Bovary.
Ry
9. Les Andelys
Sul percorso da Rouen verso Giverny, tenendo la Senna alla destra, si raggiunge Les Andelyes, un paesino che si affaccia sul fiume dove i margini sono ancora verdi e boscosi. Il villaggio è famoso per il castello, Chateau Gaillard, arrampicato a 90 metri sopra il centro abitato.
La storia racconta che la zona del Castello grazie alla sua posizione strategica, domina i meandri della Senna, attirò gli interessi di Riccardo Cuor di Leone, Re d’Inghilterra e Duca di Normandia che, desideroso di aprirsi un varco verso il mare, tra il 1196 e il 1198, fece edificare su una falesia proprio il Castello, in modo da proteggere il ducato e la sua capitale: Rouen. Il castello fu ritenuto un capolavoro d’avanguardia dell’architettura militare dell’epoca, oggi è completamente in rovina, consumato dalle battaglie, dal tempo e dall’incuria, il suo stato comunque conferisce un fascino malinconico e molto suggestivo a Les Andelys.
Dal Castello, si gode una splendida vista sul villaggio che non sembra niente male. Il villaggio appare subito pittoresco, grazie anche alla sua posizione, adagiato sulle rive della Senna, contornato da colline boscose e bianche scogliere.
Les-Andelys visto dal Castello
10. Giverny e la casa di Monet
A Giverny si va per visitare la dimora di Monet e soprattutto i suoi giardini. Giverny è un paesino di 500 anime lungo la Senna dove tutto ruota attorno a Monet, alla fondazione Monet con la casa ed i giardini del grande pittore impressionista. Sono in molti ad inserire questa tappa nel viaggio in Normandia ed è subito chiaro dalla coda che c’è… Nell’attesa potete concedervi un sandwich (carissimo) in uno dei localini della zona organizzati per sfamare i turisti.
La casa è accogliente, al piano terra un grande salotto e una bella cucina, il resto sono spazi piccoli ma curati, pieni di mobili, soprammobili e quadri. Gli interni sono color pastello. Ma sono i giardini a stupire, un‘oasi di pace nonostante i tanti visitatori, pieni di fiori e rivoli d’acqua, è facile comprendere la ragione per cui questi ambienti stimolassero la creatività di Monet.
Il termine “ninfee” è praticamente sinonimo di Claude Monet e l’artista trovò l’ispirazione per questi dipinti nel giardino della sua casa a Giverny che ora è considerato uno dei punti di riferimento del movimento artistico impressionista. La casa e i giardini di Monet sono stati conservati così come erano durante la vita del pittore. Mentre sei in città, approfittane per visitare il Museo dell’Impressionismo di Giverny.

US jobless claims rise back above one million
Image copyright Getty Photos
The selection of Americans wanting for unemployment advantages all of a sudden climbed help above a million final week, legitimate figures display conceal.
The US Labor Division stated claims rose to 1.1 million, sooner than economists’ forecasts of 925,000.
The upward thrust came as US President Donald Trump faces increased rigidity over his going by of the well being crisis.
Coronavirus infections proceed to unfold across the US, prompting local authorities to limit agencies.
The selection of oldsters claiming jobless advantages had fallen within the prior two weeks. Most no longer too prolonged within the past, it dipped below a million to 971,000 for the predominant time since March within the week to 8 August,
But economists contain warned that the fresh jobs enchancment is in effort of stalling, as well being issues power other folks to limit their exercise and spending even as reopening continues.
“On the present time’s upward push in preliminary jobless will disappoint the market, especially following final week’s promising knowledge,” stated Richard Flynn, UK managing director at inventory broker Charles Schwab.
“While onerous-hit industries brought workers help in July, the level of weakness stays unparalleled, and the impact of virus-linked rolling shutdowns may possibly presumably perhaps proceed to reverse just a few of that enchancment.”
‘No longer wholesome’
The US economic system suffered its sharpest economic contraction in further than 70 years of document maintaining within the April-June period, timid at an annual price of 33%.
Even if the unemployment price has fallen from the 14.7% excessive in April as agencies commence and exercise resumes, the 10.2% price recorded in July stays larger than any month all the plot in which by the financial crisis.
Evaluation: No time to drag help
By Michelle Fleury, US industry correspondent
This knowledge would not in actuality feel take care of the V formed recovery that President Trump and the Republicans are banking on.
With the selection of Americans filing for unemployment help into seven digits after two weeks of declines, the jobs market is a reflection of the upheavals going by the world’s finest economic system.
And yet at this key inflection level, Congress is quiet divided over the next help kit that will wait on many Americans who misplaced their jobs when the US shut the overall plot down to pause the unfold of the coronavirus.
Republicans desire a smaller kit. They impress improvements within the economic system: the S&P 500 hit a document excessive this week, retail gross sales contain rebounded and residential building is solid.
But many other folks don’t in actuality feel larger. Hundreds of agencies are quiet closed. The unemployment price is above 10%. And food insecurity is on the upward thrust.
President Trump issued an govt repeat this month that equipped $300 a week in extra unemployment advantages after a $600 a week fee popular by Congress expired in July. However the wait on is specific and in some states is handiest anticipated to final three weeks.
With the recovery far from assured, most economists warn that now may possibly presumably well be no longer the time for the federal authorities to drag help.
Greater than 28 million other folks – nearly one fifth of the American personnel – had been collecting some safe of unemployment fee within the week ended 1 August.
“The selection of different folks claiming advantages stays extraordinarily excessive – more than twice the tip of the Large Recession – underscoring that the labour market is a prolonged approach from being wholesome,” stated Nancy Vanden Houten, lead US economist at Oxford Economics.

Talks in Washington about further economic wait on for folks collapsed this month and not utilizing a deal.
The shortcoming of settlement supposed that an further $600 weekly top up that Congress popular for unemployment advantages all the plot in which by the pandemic expired on the tip of July.
Analysts contain warned that the putting off is susceptible to further injure the US economic recovery, which depends on particular person spending.
Democrats contain known as for more than $3tn in further spending – a opt Republicans contain rejected as too excessive.
The stand-off places Mr Trump, who is up for re-election in November, in a doubtlessly perilous put.
While polls counsel that voter approval of his going by of the economic system stays barely solid, Democrats are blaming him for the crisis.
“Trump’s lack of expertise and incompetence contain continuously endangered our country. COVID-19 became his finest take a look at—and he failed miserably, “stated Senator Elizabeth Warren on Twitter. “The USA has potentially the most COVID-19 deaths on the planet and an economic collapse—and each and each crises are falling hardest on Murky and Brown households.”
Mr Trump has stated he helps further wait on, and outmoded his vitality to are trying boost unemployment payments.
But his orders attain no longer completely replace the $600 bonus and contain no longer been extended in every single put, since the programme would want enhance from local authorities.

Le chef français le plus célèbre au monde s'est éteint lundi 6 août, à l'âge de 73 ans. Visionnaire, il a bouleversé à tout jamais les codes de la haute cuisine.
Le cuisinier aux 24 étoiles vient de rendre son tablier. Joël Robuchon n'est plus et la planète gourmande est en deuil. Le professeur David Khayat l'a soigné et suivi jusqu'à ses derniers moments.
À 73 ans, il a succombé à un méchant cancer qu'il a tenu à distance aussi longtemps que possible, masquant les stigmates de la maladie avec un courage et une élégance rares. Pour tous, il avait suivi un régime, repensé son alimentation pour s'orienter vers une cuisine plus saine qui, sans être totalement végétarienne, avait banni les graisses et les sucres, faisant la part belle aux légumes et aux cuissons vapeur. Il avait pris ce virage il y a plusieurs années.
Opéré il y a plus d'un an d'une tumeur au pancréas qui l'avait beaucoup affaibli, il se savait malade et avait alors décidé de vendre très discrètement ses établissements à un fonds d'investissement basé en Angleterre et au Luxembourg. Un contrat de sept ans le liait aux nouveaux propriétaires, l'obligeant contre royalties à maintenir le niveau d'excellence de ses adresses, de les incarner partout dans le monde. En revanche, certaines ouvertures annoncées ces derniers mois ne s'étaient pas concrétisées. Lorsqu'on semblait s'en étonner, il avançait paisiblement des raisons tout à fait plausibles.
Il invente le concept d'Atelier
«L'idée (des Atelier) m'en est venue dans les bars à tapas dont j'apprécie la convivialité. Je cherchais une formule où il puisse se passer quelque chose entre les clients et les cuisiniers»
Joël Robuchon est né à Poitiers le 7 avril 1945, dans une famille modeste - son père était maçon, sa mère, femme de ménage - et très catholique. À douze ans, il entre au Petit Séminaire de Mauléon, dans les Deux-Sèvres, avec l'intention de devenir prêtre. Pourtant, c'est en aidant les religieuses de l'établissement à préparer les repas qu'il se découvre un vrai penchant pour la gastronomie. En 1960, alors âgé de 15 ans, il débute un apprentissage de cuisinier-pâtissier auprès du chef Robert Auton, au Relais de Poitiers, à Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, puis devient, à 21 ans, Compagnon du tour de France des Devoirs unis. «Poitevin la Fidélité» - tel était le petit nom qu'on lui avait attribué - fait sien, dans ce nouvel environnement, l'amour du travail bien fait, poussant le perfectionnisme à l'extrême. C'est aussi l'occasion pour lui de parfaire sa formation et de s'initier, au fil des maisons et des régions, à d'autres techniques, d'autres façons de travailler. La Nouvelle Cuisine, encore à ses balbutiements, commence à faire parler d'elle. Il s'y intéressera aux côtés de son mentor, Jean Delaveyne. Il débute sa véritable carrière de chef à la tête du Concorde Lafayette (Paris XVIIe), en 1974. Il a alors 29 ans et dirige une brigade de 90 cuisiniers. Deux ans plus tard, il accédera au rang de Meilleur ouvrier de France puis, en 1978, occupera la place de chef cuisinier à l'Hôtel Nikko, où il décrochera ses deux premières étoiles Michelin. Il acquerra la troisième dans son propre restaurant Jamin (Paris XVIe), en 1984.
En 1996, Joël Robuchon préparait le dîner d'anniversaire de la ville de Jérusalem - Regarder sur Figaro Live
Sacré meilleur cuisinier du siècle par Gault & Millau en 1990, il abandonne néanmoins la restauration à l'âge de 51 ans, en 1996. Rend dans la foulée ses étoiles à l'issue de 30 ans de carrière. Une façon de tourner le dos au stress des services à performance constante, de se remettre du trauma occasionné par les décès prématurés de ses amis Alain Chapel, Jean Troisgros, Jacques Pic. C'est surtout le moment de vivre tout simplement, lui qui, à 50 ans, n'avait encore jamais vu la montagne sous la neige. Il s'installe en Espagne, au pied du Peñón de Ifach, dans la province d'Alicante.
Autre détail qui marquera les esprits: ses cuisiniers portent tous un tablier noir, ce qui n'était guère courant à l'époque. Joël Robuchon lui-même avait adopté un dress code immuable : baskets rouges et tenue noire
Lassé de la haute gastronomie, des plats hyper techniques et des multiples contraintes d'un quotidien harassant, il se ressource et découvre une autre culture, un autre mode de vie. Cela lui inspirera le concept de l'Atelier, qu'il dupliquera partout dans le monde quelques années plus tard, oubliant son désir de retraite oisive. «L'idée m'en est venue dans les bars à tapas dont j'apprécie la convivialité. Je cherchais une formule où il puisse se passer quelque chose entre les clients et les cuisiniers» déclarait-il à nos confrères de l'Obs, lors de l'inauguration à quelques mois de distance des Atelier de Tokyo puis de Paris, en 2003. Le principe était totalement novateur. Pas de réservation et, de fait, des files d'attente interminables, de hauts tabourets autour d'un long comptoir en palissandre et un décor en bichromie rouge et noir imaginé par Pierre-Yves Rochon. Et, surtout, la surprise de petites assiettes époustouflantes, totalement maîtrisées, à partir de produits exceptionnels.
Une nouvelle façon de penser la gastronomie sans habillage superfétatoire, avec une lisibilité extrême. Là encore la patte du maître. Autre détail qui marquera également les esprits: ses cuisiniers portent tous un tablier noir, ce qui n'était guère courant à l'époque. Joël Robuchon lui-même avait adopté un dress code immuable: baskets rouges et tenue noire. À ceux qui y voyaient une réminiscence de son adolescence passée auprès des prêtres, il répondait invariablement «On dit que j'aime ces cols de veste par nostalgie du séminaire. En fait, je n'aime pas les cravates!». Le noir était aussi pour lui la couleur de l'élégance.
Parallèlement aux différents restaurants gastronomiques de «J.R.» à travers le monde, les Atelier fleuriront à Paris, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Londres, Macao, Monaco, Montréal, New York, Shanghai, Taipei, Tokyo. Avec partout le même succès.
Joël Robuchon: la recette de sa purée légendaire - Regarder sur Figaro Live
Une purée légendaire
Comme d'autres immenses chefs avant lui (Michel Guérard et la firme Nestlé à partir de 1976), il collabora dès 1987 avec l'agro-alimentaire. Le groupe Fleury Michon le sollicite cette année-là pour l'élaboration et la mise au point de nouvelles technologies, la marque Reflet de France lui propose aussi une collaboration en 1996, comme le fera le groupe Ariake, à partir de 2007. La caution de ce chef triple étoilé, réputé pour sa rigueur et son professionnalisme, a la vertu de booster les ventes. Avec son complice Guy Job, il se tourne aussi vers la télévision et produit avec lui des formats inédits. Ce sera «Cuisinez comme un grand chef», une quotidienne, de 1996 à 1999, puis la fameuse émission«Bon Appétit Bien Sûr» qui, de 2000 à 2009, battra des records d'audience et de longévité avant d'être remplacée par l'éphémère «Planète gourmande », en 2011 qui ne durera qu'une saison. La télévision est pour Joël Robuchon le moyen de s'adresser au plus grand nombre et surtout de transmettre, de rendre la cuisine accessible à tous. Ce timide qui ne communiquait jamais et détestait mettre en avant sa vie privée, prenait très à cœur en revanche sa mission de «passeur». Livres, émissions, formations, tout était bon.
La purée de Joël Robuchon était devenue iconique dès les années 80. Un kilo de pommes de terre rattes pour 200 grammes de beurre, une texture pommadée qui l'avait fait passer à la postérité
Pour le clin d'œil, il avait accepté de participer en avril dernier à une émission Top Chef, sur M6, où les candidats devaient travailler des recettes autour de la pomme de terre. On devine pourquoi. La purée de Joël Robuchon était devenue iconique dès les années 80. Un kilo de pommes de terre rattes pour 200 grammes de beurre, une texture pommadée qui l'avait fait passer à la postérité. Il s'amusait d'ailleurs que ce soit la presse américaine, sous la plume de Patricia Wells dans le Herald Tribune, qui l'ait fait connaître au plan international. Depuis plus de trois décennies, pas un de ses restaurants où elle ne soit réclamée, alors qu'il aurait sûrement préféré - il ne s'en cachait pas - que la tarte aux truffes, la crème de chou-fleur au caviar et les raviolis de langoustines soient ses créations les plus reconnues.
À Paris, sa dernière réalisation restera le salon de thé-restaurant-pâtisserie-bar à saké, ouvert au printemps 2018, sans aucun buzz médiatique, avec son partenaire japonais Hiroshi Sakurai, producteur des grands sakés Dassai. Car le Japon était avec l'Espagne sa grande passion. Il le fascinait, nourrissait son imaginaire et sa culture. C'est aussi dans ce pays qu'il cumulait le plus d'étoiles (sept), entre restaurants gastronomiques et Atelier, présent aussi à travers des boutiques et des caves à vin. «Je suis très attaché à ce pays qui a beaucoup influencé ma cuisine, y compris dans la façon de présenter les plats, de respecter les saisons, de jouer avec les différentes vaisselles, nous déclarait-il lors de l'ouverture. Cela m'a semblé intéressant de traduire cette inspiration à Paris» .
Joël Robuchon avait la réputation d'être exigeant, d'aucuns diront très dur avec les autres comme avec lui-même. Pas vraiment zen, lorsqu'il hurlait devant une assiette mal dressée, terrorisant les commis. Il n'empêche que ses «compagnons», terme emprunté à la franc-maçonnerie à laquelle il appartenait, lui étaient dévoués corps et âme. Antoine Hernandez, Eric Bouchenoire, François Benot, Juan Moll, Philippe Braun, Tomonori Danzaki.... Les mêmes depuis des décennies. Ses fidèles lieutenants. La purée, pour eux, n'aura sans doute plus jamais le même goût.

DESTINATION MUNICH
par Joël Raffier. Merci à Katharina, Steffi et Jörg
Tumblr media
Alpines Museum - K. Glowtzki
Berlin est allemande. Munich est bavaroise. Ses habitants aiment même en parler comme de la ville la plus au nord de l’Italie. C’est un peu vrai pour le catholicisme et le grand nombre de trattorie en concurrence avec les spectaculaires tavernes locales. La bière, bien sûr, mais aussi les bains, les gelati, les nymphes et surtout le sauvage fleuve Isar donnent la prépondérance à l’élément liquide dans une ville richissime où il est difficile d’éviter l’histoire, l’art et la saucisse blanche.
Vols réguliers Lundi et vendredi, jusqu’au 5/11. Volotea Durée du vol : 2 h 05
Maillot de bain et combi de surf Bus, tram, train, métro, vélo. Il est plus facile de se déplacer à Munich que de s’y orienter. Le fleuve est un repère sûr. Une promenade sur la rive droite mènera à l’Englischer Garten pour soulever une première chope. En attendant, voici le Müller’sches Volksbad, temple du bain et de la vapeur. Cet établissement Art nouveau de 1900 met une cabine individuelle en bois avec lit et drap à la disposition du visiteur qui aura le choix : suffoquer dans les étuves à 40, 60 ou 90 °C ; admirer le plafond en profitant du bassin rond sous la voûte ; nager ; se doucher d’eau glacée ; déambuler.

À l’extérieur, le café-jardin arboré semble un sas entre luxe romain et vie quotidienne. Plus loin, vers le nord, le discret mais coquet musée des Alpes rappelle qu’on est au bord de la Mitteleuropa et que, par temps clair, on voit les sommets. En continuant le long de l’Isar, traverser le pont Luitpold pour trouver l’Eisbach, rivière artificielle où se surfe une vague constante. Passée de la clandestinité dans les années 1970 au statut d’attraction touristique, le spot a un petit frère plus loin en aval. Un par un, rangés en file indienne, les surfeurs exécutent plusieurs aller-retour sur une largeur de dix mètres avant de céder la place aux autres en se laissant emporter par un courant qui en quelques secondes les entraîne 80 m plus loin où ils reprennent pied. Débutants s’abstenir.

Schick, Schickern, Sciccheria Le mot schickeria se moque de l’art de vivre des habitants des quartiers bohême comme Schwabing ou des alentours cossus de Ludwigstrasse. Si la chose persiste, le mot est peu employé. Le prononcer vous fera passer en fraude pour un connaisseur pointu de la culture locale. Son origine est curieuse. Il vient de schick (chic en français) et de schickern (boire en yiddish) mais c’est la phonétique de l’italien sciccheria qui l’a emporté. Aujourd’hui, une fraction des supporters du Bayern se nomme la Schickeria par dérision et amour de la bière et a des liens avec les Girondins au point d’avoir déployé un tifo à l’Arena pour célébrer les 30 ans des Ultramarines. Munich est jumelée à Bordeaux depuis 1964.
Saucisse à Grossmarkt Weisswurst. On trouve cette saucisse blanche partout. Le Gaststätte, situé à proximité de la halle au gros, est l’option la plus matinale pour apprécier ce délicieux boudin blanc aux herbes. À partir de 7 h, une serveuse en costume traditionnel (dirndl) vous les apportera dans une eau frémissante avec une bière et le meilleur bretzel du monde. Pas loin, le comte Von Pfeil et son épouse Daniela fabriquent un délicieux vin d’orange amère dans leur cave. On les retrouve dans un café italien près du marché devant un cappuccino où ils conseillent vivement une visite au château de Nymphenburg.

Münchner Würste - K. Glowtzki
Un cimetière et des lectures Depuis le Grossmarkt, chercher à remonter jusqu’à l’enceinte sud de la vieille ville par Thalkirchnerstrasse. Voici l’Alter Südlicher Friedhof, cimetière construit sous les remparts pendant la peste de 1563. Aujourd’hui, ce lieu de promenade dont le plan rappelle celui d’un sarcophage est une masse verte de chênes, de bouleaux, de fougères et de saules opportunément pleureurs. Les cyclistes sont priés de descendre de leur vélo pour traverser cette forêt tombale qui abrite des sépultures d’anonymes et les tombes de personnalités éminentes comme Justus Von Liebig (1803-1873) qui donna des cours de chimie à Louis II de Bavière avant de transformer des boeufs uruguayens en bouillons cubes. Par la sortie nord, on tombera sur Antiquariat Lugauer, bouquinerie si bordélique qu’un plan est proposé à l’entrée. Littérature de toute l’Europe, éditions illustrées de Karl May et numéros de Simplicissimus, revue satirique dont les dessinateurs collaborèrent de force avec les nazis après la fuite du directeur qui ne voulait pas de ça.
Antiquariat Lugauer, Ausburgerstrasse 2.
Une Rose blanche La mémoire des étudiants de la Rose blanche est entretenue par l’Université. Là, ils protestèrent contre le nazisme en pleine guerre. Le mémorial, fleuri en permanence, est un des symboles de la résistance allemande. Une petite exposition se tient dans le sous-sol de l’atrium, où Sophie Scholl jeta ses derniers tracts avant de tomber aux mains de la Gestapo. Thomas Mann constata tôt dans les années 1920 que sa ville, une des capitales européennes de l’avant-garde 1900, était devenue capitale de la réaction. L’ouverture d’un centre de documentation consacré au nazisme, en 2015, aida Munich à faire la part de son passé de « berceau du nazisme ». Aujourd’hui, quelques guides proposent un Hitler’s Tour qui déclencha débats et controverses. On peut aller jouer au billard à l’académie où le futur Führer était tricard. Il ne payait pas ses dettes et avait tendance à emmerder le monde avec de bruyants discours. On peut aussi aller manger dans son restaurant préféré, quelques pas plus loin dans Schellingstrasse. Paul Brun, guide-taxi français, assure qu’il ne s’agit nullement d’un repaire de nostalgiques mais d’une bonne osteria, un peu schickeria peut-être, mais appréciée des Munichois depuis plus d’un siècle. Le plat préféré d’Hitler, la truite meunière, n’est plus à la carte. Un excellent petit guide, hélas non traduit, raconte l’histoire du nazisme dans la ville natale de Sissi.

Le cimetière Alter Südlicher Friedhof - K. Glowtzki
Le bourg des Nymphes Les vêtements, les meubles, la nourriture et la taille des chopes pourraient cataloguer le Bavarois comme un terrien rivé au sol. Son art donne plutôt l’impression qu’il a envie de légèreté et d’envol à la Sepp Maier. Nymphenburg est l’endroit pour constater ce paradoxe. Ce château à l’ouest de la ville fut la résidence d’été des rois de Bavière. Le parc boisé, le jardin français, le musée des carrosses ou le pavillon de chasse sont charmants sous le soleil. Les carrosses de Louis II et le pavillon d’Amalienburg sont des exemples chimiquement purs du paradoxe Sepp Maier. Ce festival d’allégories en stuc construites au milieu du xviiie siècle est le Kourou du rococo. Même époque pour l’Asamkirche, église de 22 x 8 m écrasée entre deux immeubles en plein centre-ville. L’impression en entrant de découvrir la grotte sous-marine du capitaine Nemo.

Mémorial de Sophie Scholl - K. Glowtzki
Schwabing Un festival de musées, de pinacothèques, de glyptothèques, de galeries et de trésors. Beaucoup sont réunis autour de Schwabing, quartier bohême en plein renouveau artistique. À l’Alte Pinacothèque, on verra un autoportrait de Dürer considéré comme le premier de l’histoire de l’art. Le Brandhorst satisfera les amateurs d’art contemporain ou d’architecture et la Lenbachhaus est une collection privée qui mêle Bavière romantique et art « dégénéré ». En sortant, aller manger un sorbet citron-basilic ou chocolat-gingembre chez BallaBeni à quelques pas de là. Au même numéro, Best Records est la boutique de disques la plus pointue d’une ville où d’une manière générale le shopping est un plaisir. Dallmayr est une épicerie fine incontournable et Manufactum une boutique spécialisée dans les produits manufacturés. De la brosse à dents aux chaussures d’alpinisme, tout ici est désigné pour durer pour la vie.

La Schneider Brauhaus - K. Glowtzki
Costume et tablier Le goût de l’habit traditionnel des Munichois n’est pas du folklore. On ne s’habille pas pour le touriste, mais parce qu’on aime ça. On s’habitue vite à voir l’attaché-case associé à la culotte de peau, chaussettes aux genoux et bretelles. Les Munichoises, elles, évitent le dirndl à la ville sauf les serveuses pour qui c’est la règle. Pas d’exception à la Schneider Brauhaus où un convive mélancolique en grande tenue de petit garçon converse avec la serveuse d’une comédie de Lubitsch. Cette brasserie monstre donne l’exemple d’une cuisine bavaroise surprenante et variée. La section végétarienne de la carte étonne. Le semmelknödel n’est pas une concession à l’air du temps mais un plat traditionnel. Les abats sont aussi fêtés dans ce restaurant à plusieurs étages qui doit bien accueillir plus de 500 personnes. Le pot-au-feu de tablier de veau au bouillon servi avec une pâte au raifort et des pommes de terre sera l’expérience extrême. Pour un café un peu plus loin, suivre l’immeuble en sortant et tourner à droite vers le Bar Centrale où la jeunesse munichoise se nourrit de Spritz sur la chaussée.

Beethovenplatz Munich n’est pas une ville nocturne. Grand choix de classique et de jazz cependant. Le Bar Gabányi au sous-sol d’un quartier résidentiel assoupi fait penser à un speakeasy.

Alors on va faire au mieux pour changer ça. »

LAS VEGAS — The Latest from Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Washington Capitals and Vegas Golden Knights (all times local):
7:05 p.m.
The Washington Capitals are 20 minutes away from evening the Stanley Cup Final at one game apiece.
The Capitals have a 3-2 lead against the Vegas Golden Knights after two periods of Game 2.
Lars Eller pulled the Capitals into a 1-1 tie late in the first period and he assisted as Alex Ovechkin and Brooks Orpik gave them a two-goal cushion that lasted for 8-plus minutes. Shea Theodore feathered a fluttering puck through traffic and past Braden Holtby late in the second period, bringing Vegas within a goal.
Washington’s Jakub Vrana almost restored the two-score lead late in the second period, but hit the right post much to the delight of Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
Holtby went into the third period with 22 saves and Fleury had stopped 17 shots through two periods.
The series shifts to Washington for Games 3 and 4.
___
6:45 p.m.
The Washington Capitals have earned a rare cushion in the Stanley Cup Final.
Brooks Orpik scored midway through the second period, giving Washington a 3-1 lead over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2.

___
6:35 p.m.
Alex Ovechkin has scored his first Stanley Cup Final goal, taking advantage of a power play to give Washington its first lead of Game 2.
Ovechkin one-timed a shot from the bottom of the left circle after Lars Eller’s cross-crease pass to put the Capitals up 2-1 against Vegas. Eller scored a game-tying goal late in the first period.
Ovechkin was in the spotlight more than usual after a relatively quiet performance in the series-opening loss in which he had only one assist. The 13-season veteran might need to step up even more because Evgeny Kuznetsov is questionable to return because of an upper-body injury.
Kuznetsov, the leading scorer in the playoffs, walked off the ice late in the first period after appearing to hurt his left wrist in a check by Brayden McNabb along the boards.

Eller scored shortly after the Capitals generated chance at least temporarily making up for the loss of Evgeny Kuznetsov. The leading scorer in the playoffs left the game after getting checked and appearing to hurt his left wrist. Vegas’ Brayden McNabb hit the leading scorer in the playoffs as he had the puck along the boards late in the first period.
Three-time Stanley Cup champion Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 11 shots for the Golden Knights.
Holtby withstood a flurry of shots in the opening minutes and finished the first period with nine saves.
The expansion Golden Knights entered the game 11-1 when scoring first in the playoffs. The Capitals also fell behind in every round this postseason and rallied to win.

5:35 p.m.
The Vegas Golden Knights lit the lamp first, scoring midway through the opening period of Game 2 just as they did in the Stanley Cup Final opener.
James Neal got behind Washington’s defense and sent a wrist shot from the left circle past Braden Holtby 7:58 into the game.
Vegas also took a 1-0 lead in Game 1, striking first when Colin Miller scored 7:15 into a game the Golden Knights ended up winning 6-4.
The expansion Golden Knights entered the game 11-1 when scoring first in the playoffs.
It was 98 degrees at game time in Las Vegas.
___
5:25 p.m.
Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final is under way in Las Vegas.
Imagine Dragons kicked up the pregame festivities a notch, playing its hit “Whatever It Takes,” following the Vegas Golden Knights’ elaborate show that precedes each game.
The Washington Capitals trail Vegas 1-0 but are used to playing from behind. Washington fell behind in each of the first three rounds and rallied to win.
The Capitals opened the playoffs with two losses to Columbus before roaring back to win four straight. They lost Game 1 in the second round against Pittsburgh before bouncing back with a win in Game 2 and eliminating the two-time defending champion Penguins in Game 6.
Washington won its first two games against Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference finals, but then lost three straight, forcing the franchise to win two decisive games to advance.
If the Capitals end up winning the Final, they will join the 1991 Pittsburgh Penguins as the only Stanley Cup champions to trail in every series.
___
4:20 p.m.
Hours before Vegas hosted Washington in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, fans filed in the plaza outside T-Mobile Arena on a 98-degree day in the desert.
Some of those gathered were holding the hottest ticket in town. Many planned to simply soak up the atmosphere while watching the game on big screens outside the arena with thousands of new friends.
The Golden Knights’ logo was worked into hairdos of fans willing to make the commitment while others opted to have their face painted in black and gold.
___
2:15 p.m.
The Strip has hosted countless events over the years, featuring stars on stage and in the ring.
Las Vegas can now add a championship game in a major professional sports league to its list.
And, Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final has a tough act to follow.
The Vegas Golden Knights opened with a 6-4 win over the Washington Capitals, co-starring teams that combined for a Final-record four lead changes.
There also were big hits, some which might have lingering effects Wednesday night.
Washington’s Tom Wilson was penalized for blindsiding Vegas’ Jonathan Marchessault after he passed the puck in Game 1. Ryan Reaves scored a tying goal Monday night after appearing to get away with cross-checking Capitals defenseman John Carlson.

Tout a commencé avec une bande-annonce
Le jour d’avant…
Cette semaine, Justice League franchissait la barre des 500 millions au box-office et Thor: Ragnarok, celle des 800 millions, permettant à Disney de récupérer plus de cinq milliards pour l’année 2017 (et dire qu’il reste encore Star Wars). Néanmoins, tout le monde n’avait d’yeux que pour la bande-annonce d’Avengers: Infinity War. C’est ainsi que, sans surprise, sa première bande-annonce a pulvérisé le record du nombre de vues en 24h détenu jusqu’ici par Ça avec 197 millions. Le score des Avengers ? 230 millions ! 🏅
Ce n’est pas tout car de nombreuses blagues ont aussi fleuri sur le net. L’occasion était donc trop belle pour ne pas faire un petit récapitulatif ici pour la postérité.
Deux tweets marrants
https://twitter.com/ShivamChatak/status/935929108160118784
C’est magnifique. Je regarde ça depuis cinq heures maintenant.
Par contre, celle-ci, je précise, on reste dans l’humour bon enfant. S’il vous plaît, faîtes l’amour, pas la guerre 🙂 .
https://twitter.com/itsluisagibson/status/935903196312211457
DC pleure
Les réactions des fans de DC après avoir vu la bande-annonce d’Avengers: Infinity War.
Comme je le disais précédemment, l’amour, pas la guerre. Et c’est bien difficile.
Dur, dur, de réunir les DC boys et les Marvel boys.
Le(s) look(s) de Thanos
Le Thanos incarné par Josh Brolin est passé à toutes les sauces (Bruce Willis, Minion, Nappa et même Joss Whedon – car c’est bien connu, les chauves se ressemblent tous). Preuve que le vilain a marqué les esprits.
Thanos version Bruce Willis.
Thanos version Homer Simpson.
Thanos version Nappa.
Thanos version Minion.
Thanos version Joss Whedon.
Thanos version Superman sans moustache.
Thanos version chargeur.
Thanos version Donald Trump.
La réplique culte
Comment oublier la réplique badass de Black Panther ?
La classe ultime… par Black Panther.
Impossible. Par contre, il est possible de l’étendre… jusqu’au DC Extended Universe.
Parodie de la réplique de Black Panther dans Avengers: Infinity War.
Deuxième parodie de la réplique de Black Panther dans Avengers: Infinity War.
Troisième parodie de la réplique de Black Panther dans Avengers: Infinity War.
Quatrième parodie de la réplique de Black Panther dans Avengers: Infinity War.
Quatrième parodie de la réplique de Black Panther dans Avengers: Infinity War.
BD parodiant la réplique de Black Panther dans Avengers: Infinity War.
Quelques bonnes blagues
Car il faut rire dans la vie et ne rien prendre au sérieux. Après tout, ce n’est que du cinéma.
“Quand tu viens tout juste d’arriver sur Terre… mais que ta chaise te manque déjà.”
“Vous vous rappelez de ce gamin ? C’est lui maintenant. On se sent vieux ?”
Pauvre Spidey, deux fois de suite qu’il se fait aplatir ! En même temps, c’est une 🕷.
Je crois discerner un schéma chez Marvel Studios 🤓.
Pendant que Cap récupère une barbe, Superman perd la sienne. Faisons donc le mash-up. Attention les yeux 😂.
L’évolution selon Bucky 😝.
“Quand maman appelle.” “Quand papa appelle.”
Histoire qu’il y ait bien tout le monde !
Les deux détails qui tuent
Pour terminer, on va faire plus sérieux avec deux détails pas évidents mais tellement classes. L’avez-vous remarqué ?
Liaison téléphonique.
Hommage au comic Infinity Gauntlet #1 avec Hulk à place du Silver Surfer.
Avengers: Infinity War est prévu pour le 25 avril 2018.
Réalisé par Anthony et Joe Russo, d’après un scénario de Christopher Markus et Stephen McFeely, avec un casting de malade.
Les Avengers et leurs alliés devront être prêts à tout sacrifier pour neutraliser le redoutable Thanos avant que son attaque éclair ne conduise à la destruction complète de l’univers.
Avengers: Infinity War : un record et des… blagues Tout a commencé avec une bande-annonce Cette semaine, Justice League franchissait la barre des 500 millions au box-office et Thor: Ragnarok, celle des 800 millions, permettant à Disney de récupérer plus de cinq milliards pour l'année 2017 (et dire qu'il reste encore Star Wars).

A Helpful A-z On Rapid Methods In Sport Fishing Equipment
Spring Chinook season will open in Hells Canyon on April 22 from the Dug Bar boat ramp to the boundary below Hells Canyon Dam. Snake River spring Chinook are currently making their way up the Columbia River headed for Hells Canyon. While we dont expect these fish to arrive for a few weeks, we want anglers to have access as soon as they do, said Jeff Yanke, ODFW fish biologist in Enterprise. This has been a popular opportunity in recent years and is a good chance to catch some springers close to home, he added. The daily bag limit is 4 spring Chinook per day with no more than 2 being adults over 24 inches. Anglers must stop fishing for salmon for the day when they have retained 4 salmon or 2 adult salmon, whichever comes first. Barbless hooks and a Columbia River Basin Endorsement are required when fishing for salmon, steelhead and sturgeon in the Snake River. All other 2017 sport fishing regulations apply. Due to limited access in this section, most anglers access this fishery below Hells Canyon Dam or by jet boat. Managers with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Idaho Fish and Game expect a modest run of about 2,000 hatchery spring Chinook to return to Hells Canyon Dam.

LAS VEGAS | The Latest: Caps, Knights tied 1-1 after 1 in Game 2
LAS VEGAS — The Latest on Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final between the Washington Capitals and Vegas Golden Knights (all times local):
6:05 p.m.
The Washington Capitals and the Vegas Golden Knights are tied at 1-1 after the first period of Game 2 in the Stanley Cup Final.
James Neal revved up the home crowd, opening the scoring with a wrist shot past Braden Holtby just 7:58 into the game.
Just as the Capitals did during the series opener, they answered. Lars Eller slapped a shot into an open net late in the first period after missing an opportunity to score late in the Game 1 loss that included a record four lead changes.
Eller scored shortly after the Capitals generated chance at least temporarily making up for the loss of Evgeny Kuznetsov. The leading scorer in the playoffs left the game after getting checked and appearing to hurt his left wrist. Vegas’ Brayden McNabb hit the leading scorer in the playoffs as he had the puck along the boards late in the first period.
Three-time Stanley Cup champion Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 11 shots for the Golden Knights.
Holtby withstood a flurry of shots in the opening minutes and finished the first period with nine saves.
The expansion Golden Knights entered the game 11-1 when scoring first in the playoffs. The Capitals also fell behind in every round this postseason and rallied to win.

5:35 p.m.
The Vegas Golden Knights lit the lamp first, scoring midway through the opening period of Game 2 just as they did in the Stanley Cup Final opener.
James Neal got behind Washington’s defense and sent a wrist shot from the left circle past Braden Holtby 7:58 into the game.
Vegas also took a 1-0 lead in Game 1, striking first when Colin Miller scored 7:15 into a game the Golden Knights ended up winning 6-4.
The expansion Golden Knights entered the game 11-1 when scoring first in the playoffs.
It was 98 degrees at game time in Las Vegas.

5:25 p.m.
Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final is under way in Las Vegas.
Imagine Dragons kicked up the pregame festivities a notch, playing its hit “Whatever It Takes,” following the Vegas Golden Knights’ elaborate show that precedes each game.
The Washington Capitals trail Vegas 1-0 but are used to playing from behind. Washington fell behind in each of the first three rounds and rallied to win.
The Capitals opened the playoffs with two losses to Columbus before roaring back to win four straight. They lost Game 1 in the second round against Pittsburgh before bouncing back with a win in Game 2 and eliminating the two-time defending champion Penguins in Game 6.
Washington won its first two games against Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference finals, but then lost three straight, forcing the franchise to win two decisive games to advance.
If the Capitals end up winning the Final, they will join the 1991 Pittsburgh Penguins as the only Stanley Cup champions to trail in every series.
