It’s one of the best-known sights in the world and, this summer, visitors to the remarkable Benedictine Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel have the chance to see this architectural gem from a totally different perspective. Every day to the end August (except on Sunday), a night time spectacle will showcase this beautiful building in all its glory. Throughout the summer, a light and sound display in the abbey grounds from around 7.30pm until midnight.

The abbey, which is famously perched on top of a rocky island, is transformed by spectacular video projections and light and sound effects. Visitors also get the chance to wander through 14 rooms at the abbey, each offering a myriad of original settings. The dazzling nocturnal light show – “Les Chroniques du Mont” – is again the work of Amaclio Productions which was also already responsible for a highly successful similar event at the abbey, the first edition of Les Chroniques du Mont last summer which attracted some 50,000 visitors.

The second edition, « The Archangel », is the brainchild of the vastly experienced French artist Bruno Seillier and is aimed at both inhabitants of Saint Michael’s Mount and the tens of thousands of visitors who flock to the famous landmark every year.

A show spokesman said, “The 2019 production represents a wonderful symphony of visions and sound mirages. It seeks to reveal some of the mysteries of the famous abbey and everything is performed at night right in the heart of the building. “The show is particularly beautiful at sunset and visitors should not hesitate to linger in the rooms of the abbey so as not to miss some surprises!”

Amaclio Productions has for many years put on numerous similar spectacles in Paris, Palais des Papes d’Avignon, Carcassonne and other parts of France and is confident of exceeding last year’s visitor numbers. Tickets are in such hot demand for this year’s show so anyone interested in seeing the spectacle is advised to book in advance.

Mont St Michel itself is a small island off the coast of Normandy and Brittany that is most famous for its magnificent Romanesque-Gothic abbey buildings. Annually, around 2.5 million people visit Mont St Michel of whom around half visit the abbey complex as well. Mont St Michel famously held out against the English during the Hundred Years War. After the French Revolution, the abbey was used as prison until 1863. Since 1874, Mont St Michel has been a national monument and inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1979.

The abbey is one of the most remarkable examples of medieval religious and military architecture and was one of Christianity’s most important pilgrimage sites from the 8th to the 18th century. Since 1874, Mont St Michel has been a national monument and inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1979.

Prices for the 60-minute show range from €12 to €15 and entry is free for children under 7.

For safety reasons, big objects such as strollers and suitcases are not allowed inside the abbey. Payment can be made on site in cash or by card. There are free shuttles from the parking areas to the abbey which is not accessible for disabled people. Last entry to the show is at 11pm.

The post At Mont Saint Michel: Dazzling sight and sound spectacle showcases French landmark in all its glory appeared first on Brussels Express.

Nationality: French

Profession: Director, Committee of the Regions, EU

« In Belgium we’re totally divided . . . the national football team is the only unifying point in the whole country. »

‘One of the hardest-working people you’ll meet’ I was told as I was taken through security at the Committee of the Regions building on Belliard. My guide was talking about Laurent Thieule, who kindly took a few moments out of his day to speak to Brussels Express.

Mr Thieule, could you begin by telling us a little about your professional journey?

I had been working in France, which is my native country, until the age of 40, and then I came to Brussels a bit randomly because I had the opportunity to join the Committee of the Regions during its infancy in 1994, so 25 years ago. We left France and I said to my wife, who is Belgian, we’re coming back to your home country! She told me she wasn’t so happy – she thought I wouldn’t like the way of life, the rain, the big contrast with Montpellier. But we came here with the whole family and we had our third child at the end of the year.

I don’t live in the city; I live out in Wezembeek-Oppem, out of Brussels near the airport, and I only come into the city for working.

In terms of my career, I started working in Paris in the Assemblée Nationale and stayed for three years and then I joined the Languedoc Roussillon Regional Assembly, and I was Head of the Cabinet of the President of the Region for 18 years. I was very committed to sporting events and was CEO of the 1993 Mediterranean Games.

What were your first impressions of Brussels?

The first time I came through Brussels was in a taxi from the airport and passing the Cinquantenaire Arc de Triomphe, I thought, ‘This is a nice city; I like it.’ Then you arrive on Rue de la Loi where the traffic is so busy and then Belliard, which is even more polluted – the most polluted street in Europe – so I was very shocked. Immediately, I saw there was a contrast of architecture and urbanism from one neighbourhood to the other. I had an impression of huge chaos, with a lot of building work going on, a lot of traffic. Compared to Paris and London, here nothing feels designed and the urban concept does not exist. But the chaos is very human and very diverse, and I like this diversity.

I’m the owner of a vineyard in the south of France, in the village where my father was Mayor for 30 years and I have strong family roots. So, I decided to buy a vineyard with my family. I go back there to take care of the harvest. I like to have a link to my native village. I feel more French than Belgian, and more French than European I have to say. There’s now a plane route with Ryan Air to Montpellier, so I go back every month, because my mother and siblings still live there and I have the land to take care of. I’m not homesick, because I can go back there often, but I do feel more French than Belgian.

Even after all this time? What is it, you think, that makes you feel French rather than Belgian? 

I suppose French schools, French education, French history. The French heroes we have. For me Napoleon is a hero (I’m sorry about that!). Générale de Gaulle is a hero. The beauty of the country, the culture, the French language – it’s a beautiful language to listen to, to read, to speak . . . and it’s one of the founding countries for democracy in the world. The Declaration of Human Rights. So this is in my blood, my DNA. Kylian Mbappé is another hero of mine. When we won the World Cup in Russia, I was in the stadium and I cried during the Marseillaise! It was great. We felt really French and proud to be there.

However I try not to compare and I don’t feel homesick. In my football club they call me Le Francais. They like my accent when I speak French. When I go to the north of the country where people speak Flemish, the first thing I say is ‘Sorry, I don’t speak Flemish because je suis francais.’ They accept this and don’t mind speaking French to me. Many Flemish people go to the south of France on holiday, so they accept it. Often they don’t accept speaking French with other Belgian people, but when you explain that you’re French, they are tolerant and will share some words with you in the language of Moliere.

My main concern when I came to Brussels was to be integrated in my new city, because I think that people like me – civil servants, migrants, people coming from the outside – they have to make the effort to be integrated. Successful integration is a two-way effort. People welcome you, but you have to make the most effort to be integrated. My wife found a job at Kraainem Primary School when we arrived, and I immediately went to register in Kraainem Football Club, and now I’ve been the President of the Club for ten years.

All my friends are native Belgians. I belong to a cycling association and I’m President of the football club and so I’ve done my best since day one to share the city and way of life with Belgian people. In other words, I have no private relationships with European civil servants. I see them all day, every day, all the year, but I think if you want to integrate successfully you have to share your time, your passions, your family with the people living in the city. So I did my best to be accepted as an integrated newcomer.

Your relationship with the football club there has been quite phenomenal. Very successful.

Yes. The thing I’m most proud of at the football club is the diversity of the people. We have 350 kids, of more than 42 nationalities, so it’s a big multi-cultural platform which creates strong social capital. We decided four years ago in 2015 to launch an initiative welcoming young refugees to the club. Three days a week, for the last four years, we’ve been welcoming a group of young refugees, all minors, unaccompanied asylum-seekers. We pick them up in the refugee centre in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings. They do some French or English courses and then they play football in teams with the young kids from our club. They have dinner and we take them back to their centre. It’s a big integration success. Over the four years, we’ve welcomed around 2000 unaccompanied minors. We’re supported by the European Commission, Erasmus+ Programme, by the UEFA Foundation for Children, and by other foundations and private companies, so it’s a huge programme. It’s a European Pilot Project and this is one of my greatest achievements since coming to Brussels. I’m very proud of it, because we’ve shown that integration is possible with a diverse community. Diversity adds value and is not an obstacle.

Will you go back to France when you retire?

I don’t know. In two years I will be old enough to stay at home every morning. I think I will share my life between Brussels and my village because my roots are still there. My children are here and they are 29, 27, and 24 years old and they’re having new families of their own, so I think my wife would like to stay here for the grandchildren. Luckily with Ryan Air, we have a chance to share our life between the south of France and Brussels.

But regarding the European Institutions – just one word on this, because I’ve always worked in political assemblies: the Assemblée Nationale, then the Regional Assembly in the south of France, and now the European institutions – I like and appreciate working for politicians. They don’t all have a great reputation, but I have to say that elected local people are very useful for maintaining democracy, for maintaining social cohesion, for maintaining integration solutions. When they are criticized, I have to say that the big, big majority of politicians are honest, are not corrupt and are committed to a sense of democracy and citizenship which is great and useful for the European Union, the member states and regional assemblies.

If you were Mayor in Brussels or in charge of the Brussels Capital Region, what would your first action be?

Mobility. Mobility has become a mess for people commuting in and out of Brussels. We need to facilitate cycling and collective transport. The burning issue is mobility in Brussels. We have the hugest traffic jams in Europe and this is not acceptable. Ever since I came to Brussels, there’s been talk about the TER, the inter-regional train, but it’s a dream; they’ve been discussing and discussing it for years. For people coming to Brussels from outside, it’s a nightmare every day and this is not great. When you go to the north of Europe – to Copenhagen, Amsterdam, or Stockholm, you have 37% of the population riding bicycles to work. This is the solution. But here, if you take a bicycle to Rue de la Loi, it’s a big risk, you could be killed by a car at any time of day. The big issue is mobility in Brussels. I would put a lot of public investment into restoring the pistes cyclables, the avenues and giving harmony to pedestrians. Also, more park-and-rides at the metro stations, so you could park your car and take the metro if you live in the surrounding neighbourhoods, which is not the case at the moment. It’s a huge caseload for the President of Brussels Capital.

What has your attention in the news at the moment?

I don’t read anything about Brexit any more. Every day I read Le Monde and Le Soir, and L’Equipe because I’m a football fan. I’ve been keenly following how Macron has tried to manage the gilets jaunes situation in France and his organisation of the grand debat and citizen dialogues. I think it’s a great experiment in participative democracy, but we’re still waiting to see what policies he commits to. It’s important because, in Belgium, the government have done a lot of financial reform which was very profitable for the country. In France, there hasn’t been enough courage to do the same. If we want to reform the country, and France is a very difficult place to reform because the French are very conservative, we need a strong President. Macron must show that he has the political will to change things, which was the case of the Charles Michel government here. The problem in Belgium is that the political situation is never stable and we can sometimes go months without having a majority government, and this penalises us a lot. It delays the process of reforming this country. It’s a pity because the people in the north of Flanders are keen on change and giving more freedom to companies and more flexibility to the labour market, in order to reform the employment situation in Belgium. Some people are ready to change, but the government must be stable and ready to act.

Would you draw any other comparisons between France and Belgium, or Montpellier in particular and Brussels?

Brussels’s specificity is its diversity. I’ve never seen such a diverse city. It’s really multi-cultural. When you go from one street to another, the cultural context changes and this is a richness, an added-value for the municipality. I’ve found the Mayor, Philippe Close, very clever. He says diversity adds value for building up new social cohesion.

In the south of France, we have a big majority of cities where the Front National dominates political life. In my village, 65% of voters voted Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election. You cannot imagine! In a lot of cities, this is the case. Macron was seen as a new political wave, but he has some difficulty because people are out in the street. As I said, to reform the French is a challenge, because there are people who have privileges who want to keep their privileges. They don’t want to work more, until they’re older. They want to keep their car. They want to keep everything they have and they don’t want to share and to be part of the process of reform.

In Belgium, the main characteristic of the capital city is diversity, and the characteristic of the country is that we have two countries. We’re totally divided. Flanders is another country. When you go from one village at the border of Flanders into a Wallonian village, it’s a new country. You don’t speak the same language, you don’t have the same music, or the same actors on the TV. It’s totally different. When confederalist fans, like NVA (New Flemish Alliance) say we have to move to a confederal system, I understand their vision but it’s not my story; it’s the story of the Belgian people. They have to decide themselves about their future. But for now, we’re two different countries with a border, not with different laws or different social security, but the national football team is the only unifying point in the whole country! If social security were regionalised, that would totally be the end of the Belgian story of one linked country, because the only link between the people is this solidarity between the north and the south.

You often hear about people in Flanders complaining that they subsidise Wallonia. Is that sense of social solidarity breaking down?

It’s just about maintained by the federal system of social security. If we change and regionalise social security, we’ll divide the country definitively. Solidarity will be killed. I can understand the Flemish mentality is totally different to those in the south, because some in the south are too ‘assisted’. In the north, when you see the companies which are created, the jobs they create, the dynamism of the people – even the farmers are different to the south. When you look at the big farms in the north of this country, they’re different to the small farms with a few cows you have in Wallonia which are helped by the Common Agricultural Policy from Brussels. There’s a cultural mentality of being ‘assisted’ by the regional and federal government and by the European Union. This is the typical situation in the south of the country. The south of the country is not capable by itself of facing political and economic challenges.

Do you have any anecdotes or experiences of Belgian surrealism?

I had a sport experience, in cyclo-cross – cross-country cycling – where they cycle across fields and up and down. It’s a spectacular Belgian sport, a national sport, and there’s a Belgian championship here. Once I went to a village near Brussels, called Vossem, and there was a cyclo-cross circuit there. At one point, in a flat field they’d put a tent, with two bars either side – and the cyclists were riding through the middle of the tent! The people, the fans, were drinking beers and watching the cyclists riding in between the two bars. That was totally surrealistic!

What advice would you give to people coming to Brussels in the future?

I meet a lot of kids in my football club, and here in my office; people looking for jobs. My advice is: never regret what you do. Be mobile. The world is huge. Go out, far from your parents’ cocoon, and discover the world. And don’t regret what you do. If you decide to come to Brussels, it’s a brilliant idea, don’t look back to your past but project yourself into the future. The future is always brilliant if you accept that mobility is the key issue for the new generation. I advise people coming into the labour market to open their eyes and see the opportunities they have outside of their house, outside of their city, out of their country. That’s the advice I would give. Never regret what you do. Life is short, but never regret.

Good advice! Some quickfire final questions: do you have any favourite shops in Brussels?

I never go shopping! I go shopping when my wife obliges me to buy trousers for the beginning of winter. It takes me a quarter of an hour to buy three pairs of trousers or a suit. I never go shopping. I like some places – more bars than shops. I know a small bar in a village – you should go there – in the small village of Vossem near Tervuren. You have the Church, and behind the Church is a bar where you can get a beer for less than one euro! It’s the cheapest bar in Europe I think! The name is In Den Congo, because the Congo was a former Belgian colony. There are posters of Tintin in the Congo. It’s great. It’s a very strange place, where everything – beer, coca cola, orange juice – is one euro or less. It’s where I used to go for a beer every Saturday morning after my cycle ride.

That’s a great tip! Does that mean that beer is your favourite Belgian specialty?

Absolutely. When I first came to Brussels, I never drank beer, but now I can drink beer just like any Belgian friend of mine. This goes back to what I said at the start of our conversation. You have to make the effort to be integrated. If you drink pastis in Belgium, people won’t understand, so please, drink beer and fit in with the people welcoming you!

And yet, there seems a lot more variety in the way people drink here than in the UK. I’ve seen workmen, labourers, in their work trousers with tool pockets, come into bars in Belgium and order a bottle of sparkling white wine to drink between them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that in the UK because there’s a silly assumption that white wine is a ‘woman’s drink’.

I drink white wine because I produce white wine in my vineyard in my village. But in Belgium it depends on the clientele of the bar. In my football club we drink a lot of beer. Last Saturday we had a full day of matches and we drank 2000 beers in one day!

2000 beers! For how many people?

Hundreds of people. At the end of the day I went to the kitchen, and they’d sold over 2000 beers. And I was one of them!

What’s your best memory of Brussels?

The birth of my third kid, Pauline. She was born in December 1994 in the Hôpital Saint-Luc. The birth of a child is always the best moment of your life.

Any personal wishes linked to the city?

The city must not change from a sociological point of view. Diversity is the main asset of Brussels, but transportation should be improved.

Valloire: Sporty, Welcoming, and Authentic

Located at the foot of the famous Col du Galibier mountain pass, Valloire looks out over the Arc and Maurienne valleys from its altitude of 1430m.

Its countless historical, natural and cultural heritage sites are unique, such as its 18th Century Baroque Church and its 17 hamlets nestled against the mountainside.

This summer, Valloire will host the “arrival” of a Tour de France stage for the first time, in what is set to be a decisive confrontation never before seen.

Valloire is of course known for the infamous ascent of its mountain pass by bicycle, with or without electrical assistance depending on your staminia, but is also known for its via ferrata and ruisseling.

The Fort du Télégraphe boasts an escape game for anyone looking for a new challenge, and music-lovers who prefer the sound of harmony are in for a treat with the 10th Baroque Music Festival. Inquisitive minds and lovers of ephemeral art will be delighted to discover the local straw and hay sculptures, found nowhere else in France – must-see monuments in their own right!

Key Figures for Valloire

Rockwool had announced their new French plant to great fanfare, emphasising the €140m of investment, plus the 150 direct and 400 indirect jobs they have announced will result from the commissioning of the plant. This was of course welcome news at first, especially in an area that has suffered thousands of job losses in the last thirty years.

But the honeymoon period was very short, with public opinion quickly turning its focus to the environmental and health risks.  The petition has so far attracted more than 1800 signatures and focusses on the ‘toxic risks’ of the plant, plus the unsuitability of the local roads for more heavy trucks and the consequences for local health.  The petition goes on to assert that Rockwool is known globally as a “highly polluting” company and that the Nordic countries, including Rockwool’s home country of Denmark, do not want to see more mineral wool plants, hence the company’s desire to establish plants in other European countries.

So far, neither the European Parliament nor the European Commission in Brussels have responded to requests to review the health safety and quality standards governing the use of mineral wool products, particularly for construction workers employed in their installation for building insulation and sound proofing, and disposal upon demolition of old premises.

A report outlining the concerns about the public health implications for construction workers was published earlier this year by Gary Cartwright of EU Today, suggesting that there was a case to consider new legislation to control the mineral wool industry more tightly. The report recommended, inter alia, better product labelling to set out information about the potential environmental health hazards of working with these materials, and better training of construction workers to ensure that they were made more aware of the potential risks they faced in handling such hazardous substances.

With political campaigns now starting for the European Parliament elections due to be held in May 2019, proper consultation with local communities and public concern about the environment are likely to move centre stage and command more attention from voters.

A core issue in respect of controlling global warming and greenhouse gases, for example by energy efficiency measures such as the use of better insulation of homes and offices, will be the use of environmentally safe and sustainable products to achieve the results needed. This looks set to become an important public policy priority for the new legislature in Brussels from 2019-2024 after next year’s parliamentary elections.

Those who will be in Paris are advised to avoid crowds. It is also recommended to stay away from highly touristic areas such as: Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elyséesm Boulevard Haussman, Rivoli, Concorde, Champ de Mars and Bastille, lists Foreign Affairs.

Foreign Affairs further stated that motorists are recommended to avoid driving in the city center as several traffic lights are not operating. This will cause chaotic traffic. Several accidents have also been reported in between motorists and protesters, as the motorists were trying to pass through.

A post shared by Sylvain Gst (@helyos_maska_nordicdogs) on Dec 7, 2018 at 7:18am PST

The FPS Foreign Affairs recommends Belgian travelers to postpone their stay in Paris this weekend. Furthermore, TUI discourages travel to Paris and fully reimburses the costs.

The post Do not travel to Paris on Saturday 8th – Expected violence in the city: French Foreign Affairs appeared first on Brussels Express.

The whole story started when Emmanuel Macron, President of France, decided to increase taxes on fuels. Hundreds of both random citizens and partisans have found this decision unfair and/or irrelevant. Therefore they have decided to protest across France.

While there was not much to be expected at the beginning, thousands of protesters wearing a ‘gilet jaune’ (the yellow shirt you have in your car) showed up last weekend on French roads in order to bar the cars from circulating. A demonstrator died, as well as dozens of people were injured. This social movement has kept on inducing troubles and disruptions in France, and this weekend is no exception with this regard.

Some people might have found a way to make French and Belgian citizens friends again, after the two countries argued about football not too long ago. The Gilets jaunes movement got reactions in Belgium, specifically in Wallonia.

Over the last days, some hundreds of people have been involved in a similar initiative, and gathered in some Walloon cities. Why only in Wallonia?

“In Flanders, the salaries are often higher than in Wallonia. Those who, in the South of the country, have troubles to live acceptably at the end of the month, will feel more the increase of the price of fuel, » told RTL Juni Jones, spokesperson of the Flemish union of drivers.

In Wallonia, some strategic points are targeted by the demonstrations, particularly fuel depots. The Belgian Federation of fuel dealers announced that some depots would be closed over the weekend, because of the dangerous situation that could occur.

In Feluy (Hainaut), incidents took place on Wednesday-Thursday night, involving about 400 people. 23 of them were arrested and an emergency plan has been set up.

Some scenes of violence were also recorded. “This is totally unacceptable violence,” told Charles Michel, the Belgian Prime minister, earlier this week. As an example, a journalist was injured and his car was damaged.

What will happen next? Stay tuned.

To help boost interest, DFDS is also offering exclusive discounts for local attractions. To launch the campaign, the company visited both Dunkirk and Calais to ask locals and visitors what it is that they love most about the destinations – with the beaches, good food and culture being popular choices in both towns.

Calais has long been an important gateway for trade – however the town is the perfect spot for anyone wanting to spend a long weekend in a quaint, traditional setting. Residents describe the town as both interesting and endearing, with the beach being a favourite spot for those seeking sun, sea and sand in the warmer months. Alternatively, for those looking to try out adrenaline pumping water-sports, the beach provides ideal conditions for wind-surfing and kite-surfing year-round.

Following the success of last year’s blockbuster film Dunkirk, a record one million visitors travelled to the historic city of Dunkirk in 2017. Tourists are welcomed by locals who love sharing everything there is to do and see, with many taking the time to visit the famed World War II Museum, as well as the iconic beach and coastline.

Dunkirk is also an underrated haven for foodies – visitors can enjoy the unique gastronomic offering on board the Princess Elizabeth and join the locals at one of the bustling bistros offering fresh fish, cheeses and wine from the region.

DFDS operates daily sailings between Dover-Dunkirk (from £39 each way for a car with maximum of nine people) and Dover-Calais (from £45 each way for a car with maximum of nine people). Meanwhile, the company has also launched a « Black Friday Sail » this weekend, offering big savings on its Amsterdam mini cruise.

There are selected dates available until 31 March 2019 but the offer ends at 5pm on Monday 26 November.

DFDS is Northern Europe’s largest integrated shipping and logistics company, with a network of around 30 routes and 50 freight and passenger ships. It has been named the ‘World’s Leading Ferry Operator’ for the last 7 years (2011-2017) as well as ‘Europe’s Leading Ferry Operator’ (2012-18). It currently operates up to 54 sailings a day between Dover and France on its Dover-Dunkirk and Dover-Calais routes.
