This castle - built between 1658 and 1661 - is the creation of three men brought together by Nicolas Fouquet, Louis 14th's finance minister : the landscape architect
André le Nôtre, the architect Louis le Vau and the painter-decorator Charles le Brun. The perfect harmony between architecture and landscape is the result of their collaborative genius. From its unveiling at the famous fête of august 17th, 1661, Vaux le Vicomte aroused the envy of the Sun King and became the model that inspired the whole of Europe, including Versailles.
The king of France who was less well housed had Fouquet imprisoned the day august 18 for life.
Vaux le Vicomte can be visited during the day or at night with 2000 candles (on Saturdays from may to beginning of october)
My last name is Fouquet.

The ultimate audiophile power supply. Imagine how jealous your friends will be with their puny PS Audio powerplants when you have THIS!
For me it's the Wendelstein 7-X Stellarator. Mainly because they routinely let it rip for up to 30 minutes. They say running it for 30 minutes or 30 days is the same. Their plasma physics experiments usually takes only seconds or minutes.
If you think the magnetic spools look a bit strange, yes, they are:
It paid off that we had a Dr. in Physics as the Chancellor.
ITER is technologically behind and at this point they continue only because of the sunken cost fallacy. Germany and Japan evaluated if they could retreat from it, but the contracts didn't allow it. I think the US wanted out too.
There is a nice interactive tour about 7-X:
Wendelstein 7-X
The Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at IPP's Greifswald Branch is to demonstrate the power plant suitability of stellarator type fusion devices.

The wood house of our family in Switzerland... 10 minutes from Zurich, 1100km from where we live with my wife by the Mediterranean Sea.
Actually it's an old picture, there is a pool now in the garden... The hot water is pumped at 80m deep - so it's free - and in winter circulates under the tiles and heats the whole house, plus the pool.
There is a chimney/fire on the left and the kitchen is on the right... the bedrooms are above and there is a basement same size as the house with a lingerie, a large office, electric bikes... Daylight enters through windows 10cm above the lawn on the left and right sides of the house.
A drone was used for the picture.

ALGER, Capital of Algeria... I've been there many times - I've lived 18 years in Africa - my wife was born in Algeria from French parents but I met her in France. Most of the people in Algeria are speaking the Arab language + French. Most of Africa above equator speaks French + 2 islands, Madagascar ( the second largest island on Earth) and The Réunion Island who are located South of Africa...
What do you think there are so many TV dishes in Algeria ?... the whole population is watching the French TV.

If you've never been to Paris, France... all the buildings around the Pyramid are the "Louvre Museum" 7,8 millions visitors in 2022.
You enter inside the pyramid, you pay 17€uros per person and then you go down to the basement to enter the museum.

Perhaps (?) due to the immense amount of rain we've had this summer... the goldenrod is phenomenal this year.
