Provins : Une ville où il fait bon marcher

La ville de Provins avec sa cité médiévale classée au patrimoine de l’Unesco depuis le 13 décembre 2001, regorge de trésors. Marcher dans ses rues chargées d’histoire, c’est revenir quelques siècles en arrière, quand la ville était une cité marchande des Foires de Champagne au 12ème et 13ème siècle. C’est un dépaysement total, tant par son architecture, avec ses nombreux monuments, la Tour César, la Grange aux Dîmes, ses souterrains….., et bien sûr ses remparts qui s’étendent sur plusieurs kilomètres, que par son ambiance d’antan.

Au fil de notre marche dans la ville, on apprécie ses ruelles étroites, ses dénivelés pour les plus sportifs, mais aussi la Voulzie, ses jardins (Jardin Garnier et la Roseraie), ainsi que les belles vues. De la Tour César, qui surplombe toute la ville, on peut voir à 360°, en direction de Paris ou à l’opposé, découvrir le Couvent des Cordelières.

Je vous recommande vivement la Place du Châtel (photo ci-contre), avec ses commerces et restaurants…. Un beau lieu de vie et de rassemblement. Provins c’est aussi une grande spécialité, la Rose. Vous pourrez la retrouver dans de nombreux produits comme des produits de soins et de beauté, et la déguster à travers de nombreux aliments, chocolat, glaces, sirops ou même une bière.

La saison touristique a repris le dernier week-end de mars avec ses spectacles : les Aigles des Remparts et la Légende des Chevaliers. Pour la première fois, j’ai eu le plaisir de découvrir ce spectacle de chevaliers. Un spectacle qui a ravi petits et grands grâce à un décor naturel, de vrais cascadeurs, des voltigeurs, pour un scénario qui revient sur cette grande époque marquée par la présence de Thibaud de Champagne, Comte de Champagne (1201-1253) et Roi de Navarre, reconnu aussi comme chansonnier et poète. Ces voyages comme les rues de Provins ont dû l’influencer. Ce dernier a aussi donné son nom au Lycée cité en ville haute, où j’ai eu le plaisir de passer en terminale… 😀. Durant cette journée de visite, nous avons accumulé tout de même près de 13 km.

Invité ce dernier week-end par l’Office de Tourisme, pour le lancement de la saison touristique, je ne puis que vous recommander de visiter cette ville, pour marcher, errer dans ses rues charger d’histoire et apprécier la richesse de ses monuments préservés depuis des siècles, mais aussi ses commerces et ses restaurants, qui préservent une agréable authenticité. L’Office de Tourisme situé aux abords des remparts, vous renseignera sur les différents monuments à visiter et l’horaire des spectacles. Ce sera à n’en pas douter un grand moment entre amis ou en famille.

Si vous appréciez cette ville de Seine et Marne, sachez qu’il existe un Paris Provins (Marche audax : 100 km), que j’ai eu le plaisir de réaliser à deux reprises. Je vous recommande aussi ! 😁

Voici ci-dessous quelques clichés de Provins.

With just days to go before the Ohio Republican primary election, the three-way Republican Senate primary race in Ohio has turned into a food fight, fueling concerns about former President Donald J. Trump’s favored candidate, Bernie Moreno.

The contest on Tuesday to decide who will face Senator Sherrod Brown has been contentious for months, with Mr. #Moreno, a wealthy former car dealer who has never held elected office, struggling to outrun his rivals, State Senator Matt #Dolan and Secretary of State Frank #LaRose.

But in recent weeks, a handful of independent surveys have indicated that Mr. Dolan, a more traditional conservative with deep pockets of his own, is gaining traction.
On Monday, Mr. Dolan received the endorsement of Gov. Mike #DeWine of Ohio
— after gaining backing last week from another statewide Republican, former Senator Rob #Portman.
That same day, Mr. Trump’s campaign announced that the former president would appear alongside Mr. Moreno on Saturday in Dayton, widely interpreted as a sign that Mr. Moreno could benefit from an 11th-hour boost.
(The former president had planned to attend a rally in Arizona but was redirected because of concerns about Mr. Dolan's surge in internal polling, according to two people familiar with the planning.)
In the homestretch, Mr. Dolan and groups supporting him have outspent both Mr. Moreno and Mr. LaRose, blanketing the airwaves with attacks highlighting inconsistencies in Mr. Moreno’s record that could be of concern in a Republican primary, such as the more liberal views on immigration he espoused in the past.
Simultaneously, Mr. Moreno and his backers have portrayed Mr. Dolan as not sufficiently supportive of Mr. Trump.

The New York Times · Ohio’s Republican Senate Slugfest Fuels Jitters About Trump’s CandidateBy Anjali Huynh

The same extremists lining up to support a #federal #abortion #ban, that would override hard-earned reproductive freedoms in states like Ohio, are now tripping all over themselves to profess their support for #IVF and personal #choice.

Yeah right.
The truth is freedom-killing MAGA Republicans were caught off guard after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos (created and stored for in vitro fertilization) are children under state law. 

Public reaction to the decision — that repeatedly invoked scripture as its legal foundation for effectively stopping in vitro fertilization treatments across Alabama — was highly negative.
Of course it was. Millions of Americans struggle with infertility issues. Many have turned to IVF for hope.
So the #patriarchal zealots on a mission from God to force their religious beliefs down our throats
— to control what you read, say, do, who you marry, when and how you have kids
— saw the polls on IVF and rushed to pretend they would absolutely protect access to it.

Don’t believe a word. The extreme agenda of #Christian #nationalists to inject government into our private lives and subjugate women as vessels of the state was bluntly exposed in the Alabama IVF case.

MAGA Republicans, inextricably linked to that extremism with their minority rule, panicked.
It’s an election year.
An urgent, if superficial, GOP course correction was hastily activated in MAGA circles to minimize political fallout in the wake of the IVF outrage. 

It is “imperative that our candidates align with the public’s overwhelming support for IVF and fertility treatments,” warned the memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Every Republican running for the U.S. Senate in Ohio took heed and raced to cover their anti-choice backsides.
Every one of them affirmed their solidarity with those appalled over the Alabama ruling. Every one of them is a #fraud

Just a few months ago, Frank LaRose, Bernie Moreno, and Matt Dolan aggressively opposed a statewide issue that established a constitutional right “to one’s own reproductive medical treatment,” including the freedom to make decisions on abortion, contraception, fertility treatments, continuing one’s own pregnancy and miscarriage care.

Frank #LaRose spearheaded the campaign against access to reproductive choices that encompassed IVF.
Multi-millionaire Bernie #Moreno fought reproductive freedoms with six-figure donations to anti-abortion groups mobilized to defeat the right of Ohioans to make their own reproductive decisions.
Matt #Dolan disparaged the constitutionally protected freedoms Ohio voters decisively approved last November as too extreme — and then disparaged voters as being too dim to really understand what they were voting for. 
Heading into the March 19 GOP primary, all three Republicans say they’re open to canceling the will of state voters to impose federal restrictions on abortion rights and reproductive health care.

The day an Alabama court decreed frozen embryos “extrauterine children” and the legal equivalent of human beings in a wrongful death lawsuit, Moreno suggested that his religious certainties about embryonic personhood were in sync with the court’s.
 “Your faith teaches you that life begins at conception,” he said, which would seem to preclude access to IVF services.

LaRose echoed similar beliefs about life starting at fertilization that concurred with the religious views that influenced the all-Republican Alabama Supreme Court in  finding that fertilized eggs have the same legal status as people — which prompted an immediate pause in IVF treatment at hospitals and fertility clinics in the state. 

It’s not the first or last time the religious (not scientific) concept of fetal personhood justified banning abortion from the moment of conception or ending popular fertility treatments for would-be parents.

There is a right wing through line from the theocratic justices on U.S. Supreme Court, who overturned Roe and punted on prenatal personhood, to the scripture-quoting state supreme court justices in Alabama, who granted legal status to frozen embryos, and the uptick in fetal personhood bills introduced in scores of Republican-dominated legislatures in the country.

Ohio Capital Journal · National and Ohio Republicans desperately pretending they haven't been attacking IVF - Ohio Capital JournalFrank LaRose, Bernie Moreno and Matt Dolan aggressively opposed Ohioans establishing a constitutional right “to one’s own reproductive medical treatment." Now they're desperately trying to backtrack after Alabama's IVF ruling, writes columnist Marilou Johanek.

"The cost of the August special election in which voters defeated an amendment to make it harder to change Ohio’s constitution has increased to $18 million. That’s well more than the initial estimate from Republican Sec of State Frank LaRose, one of the chief backers of that amendment." #LaRose is running for US Senate.

#Ohio Sec of State, Frank #LaRose — “the state’s top voting official”— refuses to discuss “an apparent ally in his fight to restrict access to the state constitution”: Jan 6-linked, billionaire from #IL, Richard Uihlein.

The “political commercial” funded by #Uihlein …”says Ohioans who want to keep an 111-year-old system in place are attempting ‘a radical liberal takeover.’”
