Author: Sophie Pedder Title: Revolution Française John Batchelor discusses Emmanuel Macron's early life in Amiens. Raised by physicians, Macron fostered intellectual growth through a profound bond with his educator grandmother, Manette. He attended ENA. His significant relationship with his high school drama teacher, Brigitte Trogneux, began there, defining his comfortable yet unconventional youth.

Author: Sophie Pedder Title: Revolution Française Date of Publication: 2018 Sophie Pedder's 2018 book, discussed by John Batchelor, highlights Emmanuel Macron's tough political style. During the 2017 campaign, Macron confronted hostile strikers in Amiens after being upstaged by Marine Le Pen. He envisioned a "Jupiterian" presidency, but Yellow Vest protests shifted his approach from perceived arrogance.

Plongez dans le Moyen Âge en mode immersion sonore avec le format Hors Les Murs du podcast Passion Médiévistes ! On parle assez peu des batailles sans ce podcast, si ce n'est dans le format Super Joute Royale. Peut être que ce qu'on appelle parfois “l'histoire bataille” est passée de mode à l'université, qu'elle a déjà été beaucoup étudié. Et pourtant, l'étude de tels événements a encore largement dû sens aujourd'hui, et partout en France vous pouvez apprendre des choses sur l'histoire, l'histoire de France, mais pas que ! Aujourd'hui, je vous emmène sur un lieu qui revient souvent quand on parle de grande bataille médiévale, de moment important de la guerre de cent ans, et de défaite : Azincourt. Dans cet épisode on est dans le nord de la France, entre Calais et Amiens, entre le Touquet et Béthune, dans un village d'environ 300 habitants aujourd'hui. A Azincourt même le nom des rues est assez centré autour de sa fameuse bataille, la rue des archers rejoint la rue Charles VI qui croise ensuite la rue Henry V. Mais que s'est-il passé à Azincourt en 1415 ? Alors dans le village lui-même, pas grand chose en soi. Mais grâce au Centre Azincourt 1415 vous pouvez (re)découvrir cette bataille qui a marqué l'histoire de France. Au micro j'ai le plaisir de recevoir deux invité.e.s : Ludovic Hiltenbrand, responsable du Centre Azincourt, et Manon Decrouy, chargée de la programmation culturelle et du développement des publics. Merci énormément aux équipes du Centre Azincourt pour l'accueil et pour le financement de cet épisode ! ▪ Infos sur le podcast Créé et produit par Fanny Cohen Moreau depuis 2017. ➡ Plus d'infos sur cet épisode > passionmedievistes.fr/hlm-azincourt ➡ Soutenir le podcast > passionmedievistes.fr/soutenir/ ➡ Instagram > instagram.com/passionmedievistes/ ➡ Facebook > facebook.com/PassionMedievistes Préparation, enregistrement, montage et mixage : Fanny Cohen Moreau Générique : Clément Nouguier Et si vous avez des idées d'endroits qui pourraient être les sujets des prochains épisodes de ce format envoyez moi un mail à passionmedievistes@gmail.com

Stefan, Laurens en Thomas gaan verder. Nadat de heren in de ochtend zelf een rondje hadden getrapt - la belle est vie - zorgden ze dat ze tijdig terug waren om alweer de vierde etappe van de Tour te kijken. Resultaat: een middag vol schreeuwmomenten vanaf de bank. Ze verwachtten vuurwerk vandaag, en het was er. De etappe van Amiens naar Rouen begon als een wedstrijdje armdrukken, maar werd een nucleaire strijd tussen de grootmachten en hun leiders. UAE nam het initiatief, en het plan van UAE om Mathieu zijn ‘benen af te snijden' leek succesvol te zijn. Tadej behaalt z'n honderdste overwinning, Van der Poel blijft in het geel. Wat gaat de etappe van woensdag ons brengen? De heren kunnen niet wachten!En hoe zit het nou met die hypo van Lau?Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

This week we delve into the life of Jules Verne, one of the world's most widely translated writers. The French author's "Extraordinary Voyages" include "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "Around the World in Eighty Days" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth". They continue to inspire fans of adventure stories, 120 years after his death in 1905. Many consider Verne to be one of the founding fathers of science fiction, while others see him as a visionary. Those familiar with the man himself speak of a tireless worker, with an unparalleled gift for making his ideas accessible to all and, with the help of his publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel, a creator of imaginary worlds that are still part of the cultural landscape today.We discuss Verne's life and legacy with Jean Verne, his great-grandson; Céline Giton, author of "Jules Verne: an Extraordinary Animal Anthology"; Agnès Marcetteau-Paul, author of "The very curious Jules Verne"; and Pierre Stépanoff, director of the Maison Jules Verne in Amiens.

pWotD Episode 2947: Emmanuel Macron Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 364,690 views on Tuesday, 27 May 2025 our article of the day is Emmanuel Macron.Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron ([emanɥɛl makʁɔ̃] ; born 21 December 1977) is a French politician who has served as President of France and Co-Prince of Andorra since 2017. He was Minister of Economics, Industry and Digital Affairs under President François Hollande between 2014 and 2016. He has been a member of Renaissance since he founded it in 2016.Born in Amiens, Macron studied philosophy at Paris Nanterre University. He completed a master's degree in public affairs at Sciences Po and graduated from the École nationale d'administration in 2004. He worked as a senior civil servant at the Inspectorate General of Finances and investment banker at Rothschild & Co. Appointed Élysée deputy secretary-general by President Hollande after the 2012 election, Macron was a senior adviser to Hollande. Appointed Economics Minister in 2014, in the second Valls government, he led several business-friendly reforms. He resigned in 2016, to launch his 2017 presidential campaign. A member of the Socialist Party between 2006-09, he ran in the election under the banner of En Marche, a centrist and pro-European political movement he founded in 2016.Partly due to the Fillon affair, Macron was elected President in May 2017 with 66% of the vote in the second round, defeating Marine Le Pen of the National Front. Aged 39, he became the youngest president in French history. In the 2017 legislative election, his party, renamed La République En Marche! (LREM), secured a majority in the National Assembly. Macron was elected to a second term in the 2022 presidential election, again defeating Le Pen, becoming the first French presidential candidate to win reelection since Jacques Chirac in 2002. Macron's centrist coalition lost its majority in the 2022 legislative election, resulting in a hung parliament and formation of France's first minority government since 1993. In 2024, Macron appointed Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister, after a government crisis. Following overwhelming defeat at the 2024 European Parliament elections, Macron dissolved the National Assembly and called for a snap legislative election which resulted in another hung parliament and electoral defeat for his coalition. Two months afterwards, Macron appointed Michel Barnier, a conservative and former chief Brexit negotiator, as Prime Minister. Only three months in, Barnier was toppled by a historic vote of no confidence, prompting Macron to replace him with centrist veteran François Bayrou.During his presidency, Macron has overseen reforms to labour laws, taxation, and pensions; and pursued a renewable energy transition. Dubbed "president of the rich" by opponents, increasing protests against his reforms, culminating in 2018–2020 with the yellow vests protests and the pension reform strike. In foreign policy, he called for reforms to the European Union (EU) and signed treaties with Italy and Germany. Macron conducted €40 billion in trade and business agreements with China during the China–United States trade war and oversaw a dispute with Australia and the US over the AUKUS security pact. From 2020, he led France's response to the COVID pandemic and vaccination rollout. In 2023, the government of his prime minister, Élisabeth Borne, passed legislation raising the retirement age from 62 to 64; this led to public sector strikes and violent protests. He continued Opération Chammal in the war against the Islamic State and joined in the international condemnation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:24 UTC on Wednesday, 28 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Emmanuel Macron on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joey.

Larry Ostola speaks with David A. Borys about his book, Punching Above Our Weight: The Canadian Military at War Since 1867. Punching Above Our Weight offers a comprehensive history of the Canadian military, covering 150 years of evolution from a small, poorly equipped militia to a modern, effective force. It highlights key events such as the Red River Resistance, the Boer War, both World Wars, and peacekeeping missions, including the long Afghan conflict. Borys examines crucial battles like Amiens and Operation Medusa, and important figures such as Louis Riel and Arthur Currie. The book also delves into significant moments, including Canada's declaration of war and the 1990s peacekeeping crises. It addresses challenges faced by the military, such as resource struggles, cultural shifts, and scandals, while offering a fresh perspective on Canada's role in international conflicts. David A. Borys is a Canadian military historian and faculty member at Langara College in Vancouver. He has been seen on such history programs as APTN's Nations at War and National Geographic's Hitler's Last Stand, and is the host of the popular history podcast Curious Canadian History.

You can send me a text if you have a comment or questionBritain begins the war and many of the French banks teeter on the edge of destruction as a consequence.  This episode covers the opening moves of the war, now the Napoleonic Wars, including the very controversial ones, the imprisonment of all Britons in France, even the tourists and the British seizure of the Spanish Treasure Fleet without declaring war.Most of the episode takes a look at the situation from the perspective of Austria, Prussia, Russia and Spain as well as France and Britain.

El capitán Nemo sumergiéndose en los fondos marinos a bordo de su Nautilus; Phileas Fogg y su fiel Passepartout recorriendo el mundo; Miguel Strogoff atravesando la estepa siberiana; el profesor Lidenbrock descubriéndonos el centro de la Tierra… Millones de lectores de diferentes generaciones han sido cautivados por los inolvidables personajes de los relatos de Julio Verne (Nantes, 1828 – Amiens, 1905).En el 120 aniversario de su fallecimiento, Documentos RNE dedica un espacio al creador de la novela científica. Julio Verne, el futuro ya está aquí, con guion de Alfredo Laín y realización de Mayca Aguilera, es una propuesta singular que une el documental a la Ficción Sonora de RNE. Junto a fragmentos de sus obras, el documental se vertebra mediante una ficción original, con la participación de los actores Víctor Clavijo y Biel Montoro y otras voces habituales de Ficción Sonora.Ariel Pérez Rodríguez, presidente de la Sociedad Hispánica Jules Verne y autor de Jules Verne. Un viaje extraordinario, nos ayuda a entender la vida del autor francés. El joven Verne estuvo muy influenciado por el ambiente portuario de Nantes, donde soñó con vivir grandes aventuras en la mar; el influjo de su padre, Pierre Verne, quien trató de que siguiera sus pasos como abogado enviándole a estudiar a París, donde hará realidad su sueño de hacerse escritor cuando conoce al editor Pierre–Jules Hetzel, que convertirá sus novelas en best sellers.El documental también cuenta con el testimonio de un descendiente directo de Verne, su tataranieto, el periodista Jean Michel Verne, que recibió a Documentos RNE en su casa de Marsella. Sus palabras arrojan una visión íntima de su compleja personalidad y desliza la idea de que, quizás haya una zona de sombra en Julio Verne que no hemos sabido captar.La entrevista completa con Jean Michel Verne podrá escucharse en RNE Audio como contenido extra al documental sonoro.Escuchar audio

You can send me a text if you have a comment or questionA peace that leads to War?We look at the clash of realities from philosophical to practical questions of empire between France and Britain.From the beginning, key British decision makers like George 3 and Pitt the Younger, saw the peace as an experiment.  It wasn't likely to work, so much against it.   However, the war had run on too long.  The people were demanding peace, the mob both demanded peace and associated the decline in wheat prices with the naval armistice of the previous year.But what kind of peace was it?  What did the two sides give up, and what did they get in return?These questions illustrate a major flaw in this peace and Napoleon's many peaces generally.  Britain got so little from the peace that it was only lightly attached to it.Napoleon was unwilling to allow trade between Britain and France.  He feared to expose key constituents to British competition, which most expected to penetrate deeply into French markets for textiles, ores, metal and metalware.  In short, without being able to name it, Napoleon feared the miracle.

Jules Verne (Nantes, 1828 - Amiens, 1905). Novelista y dramaturgo. Se le considera uno de los padres de la ciencia ficción. Es el autor de 'Cinco semanas en globo', 'Viaje al centro de la Tierra', 'Los hijos del capitán Grant', 'La isla misteriosa', 'Miguel Strogoff' o 'Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino'. 'La vuelta al mundo en 80 días' se publicó por entregas en 1872 y en formato de libro en 1873.

Our World War was a three-part BBC Drama series for the Great War Centenary in 2014 covering the fighting at Mons in 1914, the Somme in 1916 and the Battle of Amiens in 1918. It pioneered a new approach to film making about the Great War but a decade on is it still relevant and what does it tell us about the Great War?The Paddy Kennedy interview is in the archives of the Imperial War Museum.Got a question about this episode or any others?

What were two Irish sisters doing in Russia during the early years of the nineteenth century, editing the French-language memoirs of a princess who had been a close confidante of Catherine the Great? Author Alexis Wolf is in conversation with Duncan McCargo about a remarkable transnational story she has unearthed through meticulous archival research.  Transnational Women Writers in the Wilmot Coterie, 1798-1840 (Boydell Press, 2024) highlights the centrality of non-canonical, middle-ranking women writers to the production of literature and culture in Britain, Ireland, Europe and Russia in the late eighteenth century. The Irish writers and editors Katherine (1773-1824) and Martha Wilmot (1775-1873) left a unique record of middle-ranking women's literary practices and experiences of travel in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Their manuscripts are notable for their vivid portrayal of the era's political conflicts, capturing a flight from Ireland during the Irish Rebellion (1798), time spent in Paris during the Peace of Amiens (1801-03), and extended residences in Russia during the Napoleonic Wars. However, in their accounts of these key European events, the Wilmots' manuscripts, and published work, showcase their participation in a startling range of self-educating activities, including travel writing, biography, antiquarianism, early ethnographic observation, language acquisition, translation practices and editorial work. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book explores the collaborative relationships formed by women participating in cosmopolitan networks beyond the typical locations of the Grand Tour. Across their travels, the sisters met, engaged with, and learned from numerous key women of the time, including Princess Ekaterina Dashkova, Margaret King, Lady Mount Cashell and Helen Maria Williams. In this first full-length study to focus on the literary and cultural exchanges surrounding the Wilmot sisters, Wolf showcases how manuscript circulation, coterie engagement and transnational travel provided avenues for women to engage with the intellectual discourses from which they were often excluded. Alexis Wolf is an independent scholar of eighteenth and nineteenth century literature. Duncan McCargo is President's Chair in Global Affairs and a Professor of English (by courtesy) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Author David Borys comes on the podcast to discuss his book “Punching Above Our Weight: The Canadian Military at War Since 1867,” which takes readers on a riveting exploration spanning one hundred and fifty years of Canadian forces.   “Punching Above Our Weight" is a photograph-rich history of 150 years of the Canadian military traces the evolution of the country's armed forces from a small, underfunded, poorly trained militia to the modern, effective military it is today. From the Red River Resistance and the Boer War through the world wars to modern peacekeeping and the long war in Afghanistan, David A. Borys details the conflicts and operations that Canadian soldiers have served in. He highlights the key battles, among them Amiens, the Scheldt Estuary, and Operation Medusa; the significant people, including Louis Riel, Arthur Currie, and Guy Simonds; and the decisive moments, such as the passing of conscription in August 1917, Canada's declaration of war in 1939, and the peacekeeping crises of the 1990s, that came to define the scope of Canada's participation in international conflicts and cement its global reputation.   Borys also explores the challenges that the Canadian nation and its military have faced over those years, including major cultural and demographic shifts, a continual struggle for resources from generally disinterested governments, battlefield failures, and notorious and shocking scandals, along with ever-changing global threats. Punching Above Our Weight brings to light a new perspective on the Canadian military and its place in the world.
