— Tamino for Style Magazine Italia, June 2023 (x) (x)
Tamino returns to play in Italy: “The warmer the countries are, the warmer the audience"
The singer will perform at the Rocca Malatestiana in Cesena on July 4th and at the Spazio 211 in Turin on July 5th. "In Italy I always like to play," he says. But "in reality it scares me to meet too many people.” A true hero of introverts.
By Pier Andrea Canei June 15, 2023
The soundcheck is over, Alcatraz sold out, a thousand Milanese waiting to see the star of the evening: the Belgian-Egyptian singer Tamino. He relaxes behind the scenes, drinks green (tea) and wears black (Armani): like a 26-year-old prince of darkness. He has gentle manners, and a voice that vibrates on a broad spectrum. From the dark depths (the school is the one that goes from Leonard Cohen and Jacques Brel to Jeff Buckley and the alt-rock genre called “shoegaze”: emo tones, monochord guitars) to an angelic falsetto.
Soon, Tamino will go out there on stage and, without doing ballets or stepping on flowers, almost motionless except for when he holds his oud (a lute of the Arab tradition), he will attract attention. He is hieratic, with the charisma of a crusader of introverts, quiet people, and young romantic heroes; what allowed him to create a following that goes from [sic], (Colin Redwood [sic], former bassist of Radiohead, left Thom Yorke's group to follow him through studios and tours) up to the Arab world, from which it takes up sounds and instruments.
Tamino: Style's interview
Amir, the title of your first album and your middle name, means "prince" in Arabic. Were you raised as a little prince?
Well, I don't think so. Princes lead a very controlled life, lots of rules, discipline. I had a free childhood.
For the idea of calling you Tamino, like the young prince in Mozart's Magic Flute, we should thank your mother, Eva (de Pauw, anthropologist, hobby musician, passionate about cultures). What was it like growing up in Belgium?
Inspiring in many ways: lots of good art, music, art movements. From the Surrealism of René Magritte, to the music of Tom Barman's dEUS, a band that has opened many doors to the alternative scene. Then there are the negative sides in the social culture: in Belgium we tend not to value the potential of others... We are made like this, we like to see ourselves laying low, leveling ourselves up.
You realized this as soon as you finished compulsory school and left to study music in Holland.
It was an enlightening and difficult experience. From cool Antwerp designers to Amsterdam street style. Two hours by train and you land in another world. I wanted to shake off the provincial part of Belgium.
Habibi: I needed love
And your first hit song was born right in Amsterdam, in 2017: Habibi ... an Arabic and universal word of love.
You can say it to your loved one, to good friends, but also to a waiter: “Come here habibi, bring me a coffee”... Well, during the first days in Amsterdam I was depressed, very lonely, it was difficult to find human ties. I was looking for warmth, love: that piece came from there.
Of that vagueness that generates universality...
I think back to a title from the Talking Heads: Stop making sense. When you write lyrics for a song, you don't have to chase a precise meaning. Better ask yourself if your words convey the right feelings.
Typically Tamino: the yearning, the nostalgia. Songs like Indigo night: nocturnal, brooding, even melancholy. You recognise yourself in it?
I certainly tend to ruminate on things a lot. Too much...
An app to free yourself from the ego
And how do you free yourself from it?
Meditation helps. I also use a specific app, Waking Up: Beyond Meditation. Ten minutes a day is enough. It helps me to free myself from the ego, to feel myself a witness of thought, of consciousness. Simply necessary. More than diet or physical training.
Sahar, the title of the second and most recent album, means "at the crack of dawn."
For me it is already part of the past: the last words I sing are “before I step into darker days”...
That is: “Prima d'inoltrarmi in giorni più oscuri.”
I mean: before facing new torments, new struggles. What helps you grow is discomfort. That's the challenge. Never be afraid to step into the unknown.
Out of the comfort zone...
I like spending some time in New York. I stay out of my own comfort zone, it's not comfortable for me. And doing so inspires me.
Lone sailor
In the video for Sunflower, a duet with the singer Angèle, you have the air of a romantic hero. Do you want to act?
In that video I enjoyed interpreting, even without lines, this figure of the lonely sailor. This was an idea from the director. I've only done a little theater and at most a few sailing trips with friends.
Would you be a testimonial for a perfume?
Well, yes, under the right conditions... For example, a prestigious operation like the Bleu de Chanel campaign with Gaspard Ulliel, with that spot directed by Martin Scorsese.
A spot that stylises the clichés of a rock star life: glamorous places, flashes, meetings with crazy people...
In reality it scares me to meet too many people. I'm a very lonely guy. Even though I’m finding it easier and easier for me to make connections lately, I steer clear of glam dinners or events.
Then you spends the whole summer on the road
I have fun at festivals. My favourite is Into the Great Wide Open, on the island of Vlieland, Holland: 10,000 people, zero cars, music, love and kindness.
Your summer also includes two Italian stages.
I always like to play in Italy. The warmer the countries, the warmer the audience.
I live in Türkiye
Who knows in the Middle East, or in Africa.
We do the biggest lives in Turkey: crazy crowds. And Egypt is like coming home: you feel that for the people it is more than just a concert.
Your surname is famous in Egypt. Your grandfather Muharram Fouad was a musical star, your father started out as a performer.
It's like an Egyptian dynasty of music. A fun fact about me being a huge Lord of the Rings fan is that I've always felt like Aragorn, the legitimate heir to the Elven throne, who travels incognito. Nobody ever knows who he is. I felt like this growing up in Belgium. It was never talked about, nor was there much money, and that side of the family has only emerged now that I'm better known.
Who among the main names would you bring next to you at the festival of your dreams?
I don't even know if I would put myself among the top names... I'd like Anouar Brahem, Tunisian, master of the oud. And then something electronic, maybe the Aphex Twins. And I dream of working with Massive Attack.
Many festivals. But never a festive song?
I should write one first. But generally gloomy, tenebrous things come out to me.
Let's say you sing one happy song and save the world; which one do you choose?
I don't know if a happy song could save the world. Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side?
The height of happiness.A matter of feeling: a song can be sad in itself, but make you feel good. A glimmer of hope, an air of comfort. It can wrap you in emotions. Maybe you're sad, and that's okay: because you feel alive. A song full of life: well, for me it will always be a good song.

Peter Hook and the Light, Joy Division: A Celebration. Brixton Academy, 10.07.2022
Beyond all this good is the euphoria
A greatest hits night at The Brixton Academy, with its ceiling that resembles the lunar surface, is in keeping with the music of Joy Division,  but for some fans, will have Ian Curtis turning in his grave, as the band’s bassist continues to tour the back catalogue, following his classical re-boot with Manchester Camarata in 2019.
Even a nuts and bolts celebration of Joy Division seems a contradiction in terms, especially in the height of midsummer, as the performance, after a brief aperitif of New Order, essentially charts the trajectory of a troubled singer’s odyssey to suicide as The Light segues from Warsaw material to the albums Unknown Pleasures and Closer in full. 
Tumblr media
So little at first glance stacks up in the enterprise’s favour. And there is also the challenge of reproducing live those two albums which are  masterpieces of studio production, singularly crafted in 1979 and 1980 by Martin Hammett of Factory records. There was further grist to the sceptic mill as Hook’s voice failed to carry on occasions and the sonic intricacies and depth of space in tracks such as Insight and Wilderness were lost. 
Hook, of course, has every right to plough the reprise furrow, as he was not only a member of New Order and Joy Division, but central to both’s architecture and unique sound. Like Jacque Burnel’s in The Stranglers,  his bass functions like lead guitar; at the base of the fretboard for New Order and nearer the top of the neck for Joy Division. Hook makes a valiant attempt to ape Bernard Summer and Curtis’ vocal styles, even as he hangs over his bass like a sullen, dispirited gorilla or a costume of one hung out to dry, rather than attempting to mirror Curtis’ onstage echoes of his own epilepsy.
Tumblr media
At other junctures he wields the instrument as a piece of machinery that’s capable of felling a redwood, legs wide apart to emphasise its heft. This is entirely fitting for the early DIY Warsaw tracks, grandiose terrors of Day Of The Lords and the explosive chords of Shadowplay; that come surging at the audience like the wrecking of an afternoon’s peace on a deserted country highway, by the onrush of a juggernaut. Just as they do on the original recording. The magisterial New Dawn Fades is also faithfully intact. Nevertheless at the interval the ledger records Unknown Pleasures as a somewhat mixed success.
As we process to Closer, whose original tone is one of inexorable fate being played out, a fait accompli like a Greek tragedy, Hook’s macho physical posture is at odds with Curtis’ even keener mental fragility. However, besides A Means to an End, its emotional punch is consumately transmitted. The atmospheric and ethereal Heart and Soul retains the album’s clean, crisp drum riff and The Eternal is just as heartrending as on the original vinyl. Paul Kehoe captures Stephen Morris’ distinctive drum patterns brilliantly throughout the night.
The set naturally concludes with Decades, building gloriously to its climax of lyrical beauty and abject desolation. Then the horde is pulled down the Academy’s famous slope, for a rousing encore of Atmosphere, Ceremony, Transmission and Love Will Tear Us Apart that creates sheer delirium, just had as it did with the New Order coda, Temptation, at the evening’s outset. 
Tumblr media
To paraphrase Atmosphere, people like us did indeed find it easy, and we were, all said and done, by the end walking on air. Perhaps Curtis would have been posthumously cheered to have seen his brief but extraordinary contribution to the output of the post punk years still dragging forward the fans with its irresistible undertow. Salford Rules, read one of the amps. Hard to disagree on an august night like this.

The Navigation Manual of Jacques de Vaulx 1583
Jacques de Vaulx (1557-1597) was a French cosmographer and navigator. He is mainly known for his handwritten navigation manual, as well as for his explorations in America. He is one of the emblematic Norman navigators of the 16th century.
Jacques de Vaulx sometimes spelled Jacques Devaulx is a Norman ship captain, born in Le Havre, France. Shortly before he turned 30, he was a pilot who had already travelled to the Americas and became officially a cosmographer. He then received the mission to explore the Amazon River as pilot major on the ship La Normande. The objective of the expedition was to identify lands not occupied by the Portuguese or Spanish to set up trading posts. Indeed, the French presence in South America is almost non-existent, although its sailors often go there to trade. Norman navigators, more especially, frequented the Brazilian coasts for the redwood trade.
Jacques de Vaulx was in charge to wrote a memoir on the possibilities of trade with the territories where the Amazon River passed through. After 2 years of expedition, the ship landed in Honfleur in 1587 and the french navigator reported his discoveries, confirming his status as an outstanding explorer.
The French royalty, marked by the success of Norman navigators in the second half of the 16th century, decided to encourage the training of deep-sea pilots. In 1583, Jacques de Vaulx published his first version of his navigation manual Les premières Œuvres de Jacques Devaulx, pillote en la marine . This version of 31 handwritten and illustrated folios was extended the following year.
He explains with tools how to evaluate distances and directions between territories, the importance of meridians, what type of information the horizon and the tropics may provide, the use of latitude and longitude in navigation through cartography.
Finally, he continues his theoretical manual by applying it to nautical charts. Surprisingly the representation of the coast of South America and the Caribbean is much closer to reality than the North America one. An illustration of the Port of Le Havre and the city concludes his navigation manual. Only handwritten, it remains a sublimely illustrated work, very important in the theory of navigation and for the evolution of cartography and nautical charts at the end of the 16th century.

Joseph Jacques’s Favorite Films
Rest easy, Dad.  12/17/66-05/12/19
My dad died in May. Even typing that out I can’t believe it. He was one of those people who were so brilliant, blazing, and full of life that it seemed impossible that his light would ever go out. He was a wired man who put everything he had into every moment of every day. He worked like a dog and danced like there was no tomorrow.
Tumblr media
I could tell stories for hours, but I have a feeling that giving you his five favorite movies would give you just as good of an idea of who he was. 
WAR GAMES (1983)
“Would you like to play a game?”
Tumblr media
He knew this one by heart and provided commentary for my friends and me during the summer of 2018. He was a techie, obsessed with drones for the past few years. I have a feeling this movie sparked his imagination and curiosity with computers and the power of technology.
SUPERMAN (1978)
“You’ve got me, who’s got you?”
Tumblr media
He believed a man could fly. I’m sure a twelve-year-old Joey saw Christopher Reeve soar across the big screen. It sparked a relentless optimism that followed him his entire life. He was in love with making a difference in people’s lives. He bought Christmas trees for strangers. He was their personal Superman.
STAR WARS (1977)
“I’m Luke Skywalker, I’m here to rescue you.”
Tumblr media
My dad loved adventure. He was down for anything. We traveled the country together, all 50 states. We explored strange new climates and new cities. Deserts, Redwood forests, snowy tundras were places we got to experience together. His sense of adventure followed him until his last day.
JAWS (1975)
“You open the beaches on the Fourth of July, it’s like ringing the dinner bell for chrissakes.”
Tumblr media
My dad loved a good monster movie. Yeah, the shark is cool but the real monster was greed and apathy for human life. My dad loved to work and made many opportunities for our family, but he never forgot to volunteer and act virtuously. He never forgot the humanity.
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
“I’ll be right here.”
Tumblr media
Parting is such sweet sorrow. Much like Eliot after his best friend leaves, I feel a hole in my heart. When someone who made such a powerful impact on you during your formative years disappears, it’s like losing a part of your identity. My dad made me.
In 1982, my dad saw this movie nine times in nine days in a row. 
I did the same thing after he died. Those nine days were full of tears and laughs and a new appreciation for my favorite movie.
All that remains now is the love you have and the drive to carry on and live a life that would have made him happy. The body is gone, but the memory lives on.

Jacques: Mord, I have been a watcher for over 30 years. Even though it's late for us, I don't want to miss the opportunity to be the interpreter of my own life.

Methods of Devising
Blog Two: Discuss a method of devising that a well-established company uses. Briefly discuss the companies work. Be detailed about the process and methodology they use to develop their product. What resonates with you that you might use in your own process?
The Dell’Arte School was originally opened in Blue Lake, California in 1975 under the name of Dell’Arte School of Mime and Comedy and then in the 1980’s changed to the International School of Physical Theatre, was founded by Joan Schirle and Jon’Paul Cook with the goal of creating a company and or school that followed long  Jacques Copeau’s 'Vieux Colombie’ to create a resident ensemble that was the Dell’Art Players Company. According to the schools principles the idea of the students living as a group who work, study and live together as a community, encourage the direct understanding of the nature of ‘ensemble creation’, I think this is one of the most interesting and appealing aspects of this company is the opportunity to study and live in and around nature, as well as incorporating it into their productions;
“Majestic redwoods, the Mad River, the foothills of the mountains, and the power of the Pacific Ocean are a regular part of life, and the observation and embodiment of the forces at work in the natural world is an integral part of the training at the school” -("Professional Training Program - Dell'arte International”)
Other interesting elements of the company are their visions on the company and how it relates to its students and their relationship to their communities: We believe that artists must both earn the support of their community while continuing to challenge parochialism, bigotry, insularity and apathy. We balance exploration and experimentation with an awareness of what our audience wants, likes, hopes for, can tolerate, will be inspired by. As well as their list of important aspects towards a company and how they should act, interact and perform this is a sample of some of the aspects I think are the most important for devising:
The vitality of traditional popular forms and their power to attract, stimulate and entertain contemporary audiences
-The importance of collaboration -The ability of the actor-creator to make art that reflects the complexity of living, that is particular and universal -The ability of artists to manage their work -The belief in the value of our work to the field as a laboratory for exploration and development -The belief of reflecting the cultural, ethnic, social and historical diversity of our community as well as expanding it -The belief in the power of the arts for positively impacting the education and lives of young people  ("Professional Training Program - Dell'arte International")
The most interesting method of devising that  Dell’ Arte follow is the use of movement; the incorporation of movement through all of their productions, exercise and even their creative processes. It was difficult to narrow down aspects of their devising process that could be used as an example but the movement is something that has so much influence and information on it. After looking through many websites, books and online videos I found a collection of short but interesting clips of their practices and group work around movement and how much impact it has on their creative process and their ensemble.
This first video is their daily practices involving large scale movement and the whole group having to work together to create a moving organism
https://www.facebook.com/dellarteinternational/videos/623691138107053/
The next is their use of bodies as instruments and the sheer improv that is formed with these company members and a beat/rhythm on their bodies
https://www.facebook.com/dellarteinternational/videos/3017604681601104/
And the final video is a promotional video for the companies movement and gymnastic work with students and with the companies themselves
https://www.facebook.com/dellarteinternational/videos/623691138107053/
A collection of photos from their facebook also show the intimate and dedication each actor shows toward their project.
https://www.facebook.com/pg/dellarteinternational/photos/?ref=page_internal
The Dell’Arte School of international School of Physical Theatre focuses on a methodology known as the Alexander Technique, named after its creator Frederick Matthias Alexander. The focus was created to retrain habitual patterns of movement and posture. Sessions include chair work – often in front of a mirror, during which the instructor and the student will stand, sit and lie down, moving efficiently while maintaining a comfortable relationship between the head, neck and spine, and table work or physical manipulation. Which is similar to some of the practices we practice as a company here at Victoria much like our theatre games of ‘space jump’ or even ‘this is a chair’. As well as our physical warm-ups to music and engaging in the things around us like being given emotion and then walking around the space acting and interacting with said emotion. They also use a lot of improvisational techniques and clowning exercises. According to the website, the workload of the year is broken into two terms The Professional Training Program (PTP) is a one-year program for students ready to undertake a journey into the realms of actor-created theatre. This program is open to all performers, with or without a college degree. The PTP includes training in the AlexanderTechnique, physical awareness and responsiveness, vocal and movement improvisation, as well as the study of the mask, clown, melodrama, and commedia dell'arte, with ongoing research into the process of making theatre. Investigation of theatre dynamics, the actor and space, character and relationship takes place through assignments presented weekly in Performance Lab. The first term is devoted to physical self-discovery, with physical training and investigations in the natural world, classes in voice, mask, dance, yoga and improvisation, and weekly assignments developed in the ensemble and presented in Performance Lab. The second term continues classes in movement, voice and physical training, along with five-week studies and public performances of Commediadell'arte, Melodrama and Clown, followed by the Carlo Projects (original ensemble-devised works) and a week-long Rural Residency arts engagement in the community. All of these aspects of the program appeal to me in different ways but I think the majority of the programs on offer are similar to ours, which is appealing to me because the company and experiences I’ve made here are fantastic. The self-discovery aspect is one that speaks to me, in terms of being able to find out what I am interested in and whom I am becoming through theatre and the world around me.

My latest on @medium. I am a #technicalwriter now by trade. In one of my TW classes at UCB, I had to write a mock command reference entry for a fictional #software extension for an existing app. I chose to create a function that checks your writing in the Ulysses app for the Bad, the Terrible, and the Unpardonable Sins of Awful #Writing (I’m looking at you, Jacques Derrida).

House Tully Edmyn Tully So now the Riverlands rose against him, led by Lord Edmyn Tully of Riverrun. Summoned to the defense of Harrenhal, Tully declared for House Targaryen instead, raised the dragon banner over his castle, and rode forth with his knights and archers to join his strength to Aegon’s.
Grover Tully Lord Grover Tully spoke for Prince Viserys Targaryen over Laenor Velaryon as the successor to Jaehaerys I in the Great Council of 101 AC. When the Dance of the Dragons erupted in 129 AC, the old lord proved loyal to his principles and King Aegon II … but he was aged then, and bedridden, and his grandson Ser Elmo defied him and had the gates barred and the banners kept close.
Elmo Tully Later during the Dance, Ser Elmo Tully led the riverlords into battle at Second Tumbleton, but on the side of Queen Rhaenyra rather than King Aegon II, whom his grandsire had favored. The battle proved a victory— at least in part— and soon after, his grandfather finally died, and Ser Elmo became Lord of Riverrun.
Kermit Tully Lord Kermit brought the Tullys to the height of their power. Vital and bold, he fought tirelessly for Queen Rhaenyra, and her son, Prince Aegon, later King Aegon III. Lord Kermit was the chief commander of the host that descended on King’s Landing in the last days of the war, and he personally slew Lord Borros Baratheon in the final battle of the Dance of the Dragons.
Celia Tully Once again the king had to deal with the wounded pride and anger of the noble houses thus affronted, for Jaehaerys had been betrothed to Celia Tully, daughter of the Lord of Riverrun, and Shaera to Luthor Tyrell, the heir to Highgarden.
Hoster Tully Hoster Tully had always been a big man; tall and broad in his youth, portly as he grew older. Now he seemed shrunken, the muscle and meat melted off his bones. Even his face sagged. The last time Catelyn had seen him, his hair and beard had been brown, well streaked with grey. Now they had gone white as snow.
Brynden Tully During one of their louder quarrels, when Catelyn was eight, Lord Hoster had called Brynden “the black goat of the Tully flock.” Laughing, Brynden had pointed out that the sigil of their house was a leaping trout, so he ought to be a black fish rather than a black goat, and from that day forward he had taken it as his personal emblem.
Catelyn Tully She had been born a Tully, at Riverrun far to the south, on the Red Fork of the Trident. The godswood there was a garden, bright and airy, where tall redwoods spread dappled shadows across tinkling streams, birds sang from hidden nests, and the air was spicy with the scent of flowers.
Lysa Tully Her sister was two years the younger, yet she looked older now. Shorter than Catelyn, Lysa had grown thick of body, pale and puffy of face. She had the blue eyes of the Tullys, but hers were pale and watery, never still. Her small mouth had turned petulant. All that remained of her sister’s beauty was the great fall of thick auburn hair that cascaded to her waist.
Edmure Tully Ser Edmure Tully was a stocky young man with a shaggy head of auburn hair and a fiery beard. His breastplate was scratched and dented from battle, his blue-and-red cloak stained by blood and smoke.

Yesterday was magical in Paris.  The weather has been very unpredictable for the last 10 days or so.  One day it is hot and humid, with plenty of sunshine.  The next day it is cold and rainy and feels like winter.
So, with the welcome sun, I explored 2 Parisian gardens for the first time.  Both were extraordinary (of course they were! it’s Paris!) and will occupy my mind for a long time to come.
Today I write about the incredible Bois de Boulogne.  Wow!
Here’s its original outline:
  First of all, it’s huge! It’s larger than Central Park in NYC, for context.  The Bois de Boulogne has everything you might want in a large suburban park for the citizens of Paris: 2 lakes, 6 ponds, sports fields, bandstands, cafes, shooting galleries, riding stables, boating on the lakes, and amusement parks for children and families. And that is just the start!
  The Bois de Boulogne was the idea of Napoleon III, shortly after he staged a coup d’état and elevated himself from the President of the French Republic to Emperor of the French in 1852. When he became Emperor, Paris had only four public parks – the Tuileries Gardens, the Luxembourg Garden, the Palais-Royal, and the Jardin des Plantes – all more or less in the center of the city. There were no public parks in the rapidly growing east and west of the city.
During his exile in London, he had been particularly impressed by Hyde Park with its lakes and streams, including the Serpentine, and its popularity with Londoners of all social classes. Therefore, he decided to build two large public parks on the eastern and western edges of the Paris where both the rich and ordinary people could enjoy themselves.
Below: a feature of the park since its inception: the aviary.
  These parks became an important part of the plan for the reconstruction of Paris drawn up by Napoleon III and his new Prefect of the Seine, Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann. The Haussmann plan called for improving the city’s traffic circulation by building new boulevards; improving the city’s health by building a new water distribution system and sewers; and creating green spaces and recreation for Paris’ rapidly growing population. In 1852, Napoleon donated the land for the Bois de Boulogne and for the Bois de Vincennes, which both belonged officially to him.
  Below a game within the wonderful amusement park within the Bois de Boulogne:
  Napoleon III purchased additional land in the plain of Longchamp, the site of the Chateau de Madrid, the Chateau de Bagatelle. Theses lands were attached to the Bois de Boulogne, so it could extend all the way to the Seine. State budget was used to construct the park, supplemented by selling lots along the north end of the Bois, in Neuilly.
Emperor Napoleon was personally involved in planning the new parks. He insisted that the Bois de Boulogne should have a stream and lakes, like Hyde Park in London.
  The aviary in background:
  The first plan for the Bois de Boulogne was drawn up by the architect Jacques Hittorff, who, under King Louis Philippe, had designed the Place de la Concorde, and the landscape architect Louis-Sulpice Varé, who had designed French landscape gardens at several famous châteaux. Their plan called for long straight alleys in patterns crisscrossing the park, and, as the Emperor had asked, lakes and a long stream similar to the Serpentine in Hyde Park.
Varé bungled the assignment and Haussmann dismissed both him and Hittorff, and designed the solution himself; an upper lake and a lower lake, divided by an elevated road, which serves as a dam, and a cascade which allows the water to flow between the lakes. This is the design still seen today.
In 1853, Haussmann hired an experienced engineer from the corps of Bridges and Highways, Jean-Charles Alphand, with whom he had worked in his previous assignment in Bordeaux, and made him the head of a new Service of Promenades and Plantations, in charge of all the parks in Paris.
  Alphand was charged to make a new plan for the Bois de Boulogne. Alphand’s plan was radically different from the Hittorff-Varé plan. While it still had two long straight boulevards, the Allée Reine Marguerite and the Avenue Longchamp, all the other paths and alleys curved and meandered. The flat Bois de Boulogne was to be turned into an undulating landscape of lakes, hills, islands, groves, lawns, and grassy slopes. It became the prototype for the other city parks of Paris and then for city parks around the world.
    Building this new park was an enormous engineering project which lasted for five years. The upper and lower lakes were dug, and the earth piled into islands and hills. Rocks were brought from Fontainbleau and combined with cement to make the cascade and an artificial grotto.
The pumps from the Seine could not provide enough water to fill the lakes and irrigate the park, so a new channel was created to bring the water of the Ourcq River, from Monceau to the upper lake in the Bois, but even this was not enough. An artesian well, 586 meters deep, was eventually dug in the plain of Passy which could produce 20,000 cubic meters of water a day. This well went into service in 1861.
The water then had to be distributed around the park to water the lawns and gardens; the traditional system of horse-drawn wagons with large barrels of water would not be enough. A system of 66 kilometers of pipes was laid, with a faucet every 30 or 40 meters, a total of 1600 faucets.
      Alphand also had to build a network of roads, paths, and trails to connect the sights of the park. The two long straight alleys from the old park were retained, and his workers built an additional 58 kilometers of roads paved with stones for carriages, 12 kilometers of sandy paths for horses, and 25 kilometers of dirt trails for walkers. As a result of Louis Napoléon’s exile in London and his memories of Hyde Park, all the new roads and paths were curved and meandering.
  The planting of the park was the task of the new chief gardener and landscape architect of the Service of Promenades and Plantations, Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps, who had also worked with Haussmann and Alphand in Bordeaux. His gardeners planted 420,000 trees, including hornbeam, beech, linden, cedar, chestnut, and elm, and hardy exotic species, like redwoods. They planted 270 hectares of lawns, with 150 kilograms of seed per hectare, and thousands of flowers. To make the forest more natural, they brought 50 deer to live in and around the Pré-Catelan.
    The park was designed to be more than a collection of picturesque landscapes; it was meant as a place for amusement and recreation, with sports fields, bandstands, cafes, shooting galleries, riding stables, boating on the lakes, and other attractions. In 1855, Gabriel Davioud, a graduate of Ecole des Beaux-Arts, was named the chief architect of the new Service of Promenades and Plantations. He was commissioned to design 24 pavilions and chalets, plus cafes, gatehouses, boating docks, and kiosks.
      Davioud designed the gatehouses, where the guardians of the park lived, to look like rustic cottages. He had a real Swiss chalet built out of wood in Switzerland and transported to Paris, where it was reassembled on an island in the lake and became a restaurant. He built another restaurant next to the park’s most picturesque feature, the Grand Cascade. He designed artificial grottoes made of rocks and cement, and bridges and balustrades made of cement painted to look like wood. He also designed all the architectural details of the park, from cone-shaped shelters designed to protect horseback riders from the rain to the park benches and direction signs.
At the south end of the park, in the Plain of Longchamp, Davioud restored the ruined windmill which was the surviving vestige of the Abbey of Longchamp, and, working with the Jockey Club of Paris, constructed the grandstands of the Hippodrome of Longchamp, which opened in 1857.
At the northern end of the park, between the Sablons gate and Neuilly, a 20-hectare section of the park was given to the Societé Imperiale zoologique d’Acclimatation, to create a small zoo and botanical garden, with an aviary of rare birds and exotic plants and animals from around the world.
  In March 1855, an area in the center of the park, called the Pré-Catelan, was leased to a concessionaire for a garden and amusement park. It was built on the site of a quarry where the gravel and sand for the park’s roads and paths had been dug out. It included a large circular lawn surrounded by trees, grottos, rocks, paths, and flower beds. Davioud designed a buffet, a marionette theater, a photography pavilion, stables, a dairy, and other structures. The most original feature was the Théâtre des fleurs, an open-air theater in a setting of trees and flowers. Later, an ice skating rink and shooting gallery were added. The Pré-Catelan was popular for concerts and dances, but it had continual financial difficulties and eventually went bankrupt. The floral theater remained in business until the beginning of the First World War, in 1914.
The garden-building team assembled by Haussmann of Alphand, Barrillet-Deschamps and Davioud went on to build The Bois de Vincennes, Parc Monceau Parc Montsouris, and the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, using the experience and aesthetics they had developed in the Bois de Boulogne.
They also rebuilt the Luxembourg gardens and the gardens of the Champs- Elysees, created smaller squares and parks throughout the center of Paris, and planted thousands of trees along the new boulevards that Haussmann had created. In the 17 years of Napoleon III’s reign, they planted no less than 600,000 trees and created a total 1,835 hectares of green space in Paris, more than any other ruler of France before or since.
During the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), which led to the downfall of Napoleon III and the long siege of Paris, the park suffered some damage from German artillery bombardment, the restaurant of the Grand Cascade was turned into a field hospital, and many of the park’s animals and wild fowl were eaten by the hungry population. In the years following, however, the park quickly recovered.
The Bois de Boulogne became a popular meeting place and promenade route for Parisians of all classes. The alleys were filled with carriages, coaches, and horseback riders, and later with men and women on bicycles, and then with automobiles. Families having picnics filled the woods and lawns, and Parisians rowed boats on the lake, while the upper classes were entertained in the cafes. The restaurant of the Pavillon de la Grand Cascade became a popular spot for Parisian weddings. During the winter, when the lakes were frozen, they were crowded with ice skaters.
The activities of Parisians in the Bois, particularly the long promenades in carriages around the lakes, were often portrayed in French literature and art in the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. Scenes set in the park appeared in Nana by Émile Zola and in Education Sentimentale by Gustave Flaubert. In the last pages of Du côté de chez Swann in À la recherche du temps perdu (1914), Marcel Proust minutely described a walk around the lakes taken as a child. The life in the park was also the subject of the paintings of many artists, including Eduard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Vincent van Gogh, and Mary Cassatt.
In 1860, Napoleon opened the Jardin d’Acclimatation, a separate concession of 20 hectares at the north end of the park; it included a zoo and a botanical garden, as well as an amusement park. Between 1877 and 1912, it also served as the home of what was called an ethnological garden, a place where groups of the inhabitants of faraway countries were put on display for weeks at a time in reconstructed villages from their homelands. They were mostly Sub-Saharan Africans, North Africans, or South American Indians, and came mostly from the French colonies in Africa and South America, but also included natives of Lapland and Cossacks from Russia. These exhibitions were extremely popular and took place not only in Paris, but also in Germany, England, and at the Chicago Exposition in the United States; but they were also criticized at the time and later as being a kind of “human zoo”. Twenty-two of these exhibits were held in the park in the last quarter of the 19th century. About ten more were held in the 20th century, with the last one taking place in 1931.
In 1905, a grand new restaurant in the classical style was built in the Pré-Catelan by architect Guillaume Tronchet. Like the cafe at the Grand Cascade, it became a popular promenade destination for the French upper classes.
At the 1900 Summer Olympics, the land hosted the croquet and tug of war events. During the 1924 Summer Olympics, the equestrian events took place in the Auteuil Hippodrome.
The Bois de Boulonge hosted all rowing teams participating in the Inter-Allied Games, held in Paris in 1919 following the end of World War One.
The Bois de Boulogne was officially annexed by the city of Paris in 1929 and incorporated into the 16th arrondissement.
Soon after World War II, the park began to come back to life. In 1945, it held its first motor race after the war: the Paris Cup. In 1953, a British group, Les Amis de la France, created the Shakespeare Garden on the site of the old floral theater in the Pré-Catelan.
From 1952 until 1986, the Duke of Windsor, the title granted to King Edward VIII after his abdication, and his wife, Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, lived in the Villa Windsor, a house in the Bois de Boulogne behind the garden of the Bagatelle. The house was (and still is) owned by the City of Paris and was leased to the couple. The Duke died in this house in 1972, and the Duchess died there in 1986. The lease was purchased by Mohamed al-Fayed, the owner of the Ritz Hotel in Paris. The house was visited briefly by Diana, Princess of Wales and her companion, Dodi Fayed, on 31 August 1997, the day that they died in a traffic accident in the Alma tunnel.
The Bois de Boulogne contains two artificial lakes and eight artificial ponds, connected by three artificial streams. They receive their water from a canal drawn from Ourq River and from artesian wells in Passy. The water arrives in the Lac Superieur (Upper Lake), built in 1852 and located near the Hippodrome de Auteil, then flows by gravity to the Grand Cascade and then to the Lac Inferieur, or Lower Lake.
The Lac Inferieur (1853) is the largest lake in the park, near the large lawns of Muette. The area is very popular with joggers, and boats can be rented on the lower lake from 15 February to the end of October. The lake is the home to many swans and ducks. An island in the lake, accessible by boat, contains the city’s only monument to the Park’s builder, Napoleon III; a small wooden kiosk at the end of the island, called the Kiosk of the Emperor. The Grand Cascade (1856) was built out of four thousand cubic meters of rocks from Fontainebleau, and two thousand cubic meters of cement. In addition to the picturesque waterfall, it has two artificial grottoes, one over the other, which can be visited. The Etang de Reservoir holds the water before it falls in the Grand Cascade. The Ruisseau de Longchamp (1855) is the major artificial stream in the park. It flows through the Pré-Catelan, under the alley of Reine Marguerite, then to the Mare des Biches, one of the oldest natural ponds in the park, then to the Etang de Reservoir and the Grand Cascade. The Mare de Saint-James is located next to the Jardin d’Acclimatation, and was formerly a quarry for sand and gravel. It has two islands which are a sanctuary for birds and small animals. Within the Bois de Boulogne, there are several separate botanical and floral gardens, and gardens of amusement.
The Château de Bagatelle. Following the French Revolution, the miniature chateau and English landscape garden of the Bagatelle was restored to the Bourbon family. They sold it in 1835 to an English nobleman, Francis Seymour-Conway, 3rd Marquess of Hertford. It remained separate and outside the Bois de Boulogne until 1905, when it was purchased by the City of Paris and attached to the park. The garden was enlarged and redesigned by Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier, the new Superintendent of Parks of Paris, a pupil of Alphand. He preserved many elements of the old garden, and added sections of botanical garden, including an iris garden and a pond for Nymphaeaceae, or water lilies, popularized at the time by the paintings of Claude Monet.
He also built one of the most popular features of the Bagatelle today, the rose garden. The rose garden today has more than nine thousand plants, and is the site of the Concours international de roses nouvelles de Bagatelle, held each June, one of the major competitions of new roses in the world. Since 1983, the Festival of Chopin in Paris is held in the Orangerie, next to the rose garden. The garden also hosts regular exhibits of sculpture and art. The Jardin d’Acclimatation, opened in 1860 as a zoo and pleasure garden, still has many of the traditional features of a children’s amusement park, including an archery range, a miniature train ride, pony ride and Guignol puppet theater, but it underwent several changes in its theme in the last decades. A science museum for children, the Exploradome, opened in 1999. It also now includes a section with an Asian theme, with a teahouse, a lacquered bridge, and a Korean garden. In October 2014, a major new museum opened, the Louis Vuitton Foundation, in a building designed by architect Frank Gehry. The Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil is a large complex of greenhouses in the southern part of the park. They stand on the site of a botanical garden founded in 1761 by King Louis XV. The present greenhouses were built in 1895-98, and now house about one hundred thousand plants.
In 1998 the greenhouses officially became part of the Botanical Garden in Paris, which also includes the Bagatelle in the Bois de Boulogne and the Parc Floral de Paris and the Arboretum de l’Ecole de Breuil in the Bois de Vincennes. The Pré-Catelan still has a few vestiges of its early days; a majestic copper beech planted in 1782; a giant sequoia tree planted in 1872; the old buffet built by Gabriel Davioud; the grand restaurant built by Guillaume Tronchet in 1905; and the Shakespeare Garden, created in 1953 on the site of the old floral theater. Five different natural settings contain all of the trees, bushes and flowers mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays. The Hippodrome de Longchamp, opened in 1857, was built on the site of the old Abbey of Longchamp. A restored windmill, the only building left of the Abbey, is located on the grounds of the track. The major annual racing event at the Hippodrome de Longchamp is the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, held every October. The Auteuil Hippodrome, covering 33 hectares, opened in 1873. It is used exclusively for steeplechase racing. The Stade Roland Garros is a tennis complex which hosts the annual French Open tournament in early June. It was opened in 1928 for the first defense of the Davis Cup tennis tournament, and is named for the French aviator Roland Garros, who was the first pilot to fly solo across the Mediterranean and a First World War ace. The 8.5 hectare complex has twenty courts. The famous red clay courts are actually made of white limestone, dusted with a few millimeters of powdered red brick dust.
  A beautiful Parisian park: Bois de Boulogne Yesterday was magical in Paris.  The weather has been very unpredictable for the last 10 days or so.
