Freedom of speech

I am speechless.....

The Three Graces were gagged last year during one of those (famous French) strikes.


Je reste sans voix....

Les Trois Grâces ont été baillonnées l'an dernier au cours d'une (de ces fameuses) grèves à la française.

Capoeira

Capoeira is popular among many young people in Montpellier. On Sunday I saw this group on la Place de la Comédie. The performers were accompanied and supported by musicians.

I really liked the performance of the little girl, and also the pigeons on les Trois Grâces that were watching her.

Les Trois Grâces

Another view of Les Trois Grâces, our most famous statue in Montpellier, which is located on La Place de la Comédie (in front of a McDonald's restaurant). Aglaea represents Beauty, Thalia is Good Cheer and Euphrosyne is Mirth. But the people who meet next to the statue do not know much about them. I didn't but Wikipedia helped me! :-))

The fountain around the statue was built a few years ago, to prevent homeless people with their dogs from gathering around the statue. These people then established their headquarters before the entrance of the theater, which led to the creation of a café with a terrace.
