Ijburg, le quartier flottant

Image
Netherlands haven't got enough territory to welcome all the population. To arrive to give an house to all the population, the Dutch decided to spread their territory on the sea and the rivers. Since always, Netherland have been fighting against water because it's a very flat territory located under the level of the sea. All the water of this country is controlled by bridges, dykes or locks. The name of Amsterdam come from the dyke (« Dam » in dutch) on the Amstel.  The district we visited is called Ijburg. In the floating district we visited, the homes are built through to the ecological materials. In those districts, the are different types of house. In fact, the basics houses are all similar and target the people who have no many money like students or young couples. This type of house represent 30 % of the houses in this district. The houses with a different style are more expensive and target more the people who have many money like the upper class ; it represents also 30

Les lieux cachés d'Utrecht / Utrecht's hidden places

UTRECHT’S HIDDEN PLACES In this city where the bicycles are more numerous than the inhabitants (350 000 to this day), the European section of Choiseul High school have explored hidden nooks. Starting with a part of St Martin’s Cathedral, we learned that it was built by the British in the Roman ages. Unfortunately, in 1674, a tornado destroyed a part of it and now the towel and the church are divided. Utrecht people have thought about rebuilding it, making the inhabitants pay for it, but the access created by the tornado allows emergency services to be faster in case of emergency.  Moreover, since 1580, the city was claimed as Protestant and Catholicism was kept a taboo subject. However, after a few years, people became more tolerant and Catholic churches started to emerge. Just like St Baptiste Church, blended into the background.   Following the guide, we went across Rooms: very little houses, only big enough to contain a table, a toilet hidden in a closet

Maritime Museum

      The Maritime Museum is located in Rotterdam. It presents the past, the present and the future of the maritime life. There are two expositions with a guide and two in free access.    In the first exposition, a guide talked about old objects. First of all she presented an atlas made by a belgian explorator, Gérard Mercator, in 1569. It's the first time a person has made a 2D map with good proportions. It's the ancestor of the modern GPS. We have also seen boat models and painting. To finish, the guide has showed us an incomplete world map without all the coasts of the North America and the Australia.         The second exposition shows the life in the cruise on the 30th. In first time, we have seen the cabins on the boat, then we have seen the different activities proposed for passengers: cinema, casino, theater, water-pool, jacuzzi... We have learnt data about the actual maritime traffic in Europe: 6 millions of passengers in 2012. 100 000 of them were Dutch.
