Quatrième et ultime étape de mon périple dans l'Ouest pour retrouver des ami(e)s lointain(e)s il y a un bon mois déjà : ma sœur Dominique et son mari, à Alençon, aux confins de la Normandie et des Pays de Loire.

Bagnoles-de-l'Orne. Le quartier Belle Epoque avec de belles villas le plus souvent Art Nouveau à tendance Balnéaire.

La première villa est en fait le pavillon de la Suède pour l'Exposition Universelle de 1889 (oui, celle de la Tour Eiffel)

Filles du ciel

La nouvelle épopée de Michel Moutot nous offre de découvrir les merveilles de l'ingénierie française à la fin du XIXe siècle, de l'édification de la statue de la liberté à celle de la Tour Eiffel, en passant par le viaduc de Garabit. Un bonheur de lecture

  En deux mots Envoyé aux États-Unis pour aider à ériger la statue de la liberté, Philibert Boucher va briser le cou d’une jeune indienne avant de regagner la France où un nouveau chantier l’attend, celui de la Tour Eiffel. Ce qu’il ignore, c’est que Tëme, l’oncle de la jeune fille est sur ses traces, missionné pour venger sa nièce. Ma note ★★★★ (j’ai adoré) Ma chronique De Miss Liberty à la Dame…

Odds and Ends:

DISAPPEARANCE AT L'EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE

In May 1889, an English mother and daughter traveled to Paris from India for the World's Fair (or l'Exposition Universelle). The two women proceeded to their hotel, signed the hotel register, and went to their rooms. The older woman's accommodation was a luxurious suite with heavy plum-colored velvet curtains, rose-covered wallpaper, and an ormolu clock on the mantle.

Soon after, the mother fell ill, and the daughter had the hotel call a doctor. After examining the mother, the doctor decided that she needed a certain medicine from his office, and sent the daughter off to fetch it. It took four hours for her to journey through the crowded Paris streets, to the doctor's office, get the medicine, and return. The young woman hurried into the hotel lobby and asked the manager how her mother was. He asked her what she was talking about. She had checked in alone.

Much surprised and very dismayed, the woman insisted that she and her mother had checked in less than six hours before. The manager showed her the hotel register. Her name was there, but above it, where her mother's name had been, was the name of a stranger. The girl insisted on seeing the room where she had last seen her mother. It was empty except for the suitcases of a stranger. There were no plum-colored curtains, no rose-covered wallpaper, and no ormolu clock. Returning to the foyer, she encountered the doctor and asked about her mother. The doctor said he didn't know her and never attended to her mother. The girl reported her story to the British ambassador, the police, and the newspapers. None of them believed her story. Eventually, she returned home to England and was committed to an insane asylum.
