Christophe Barthès, nouveau maire Rassemblement National de Carcassonne, a pris un arrêté anti-mendicité en centre-ville, estimant que cela représente un “trouble à l'ordre public”.Tous les soirs du lundi au vendredi à partir de 18h57 sur France 5, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine et toute son équipe accueillent celles et ceux qui font l'actualité du jour.

Aujourd'hui, Jean-Loup Bonnamy, professeur de philosophie, Flora Ghebali, entrepreneure dans la transition écologique, et Charles Consigny, avocat, débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.

C dans l'air l'invité du 23 mars avec Jean-Philippe Tanguy, député RN de la Somme.Fort de plusieurs dizaines de victoires au second tour des municipales, le Rassemblement national se félicite d'une « percée historique », même si le parti à la flamme se heurte toujours au plafond de verre dans les grandes villes comme Toulon, Nîmes ou Marseille. La semaine dernière, la formation d'extrême droite avait doublé son nombre de maires dès le premier tour, avec 24 communes glanées – dont une dizaine de sortants réélus, à l'instar de Louis Aliot à Perpignan.Au final, le RN « multiplie par six ou par sept » son contingent d'édiles et s'apprête à envoyer « des milliers de conseillers municipaux » dans les mairies du pays, a affirmé Marine Le Pen. Parmi les principales prises de la soirée, ses candidats l'emportent notamment à Carcassonne (préfecture de l'Aude) et Castres (sous-préfecture du Tarn). Les conquêtes sont nombreuses dans sa zone de force de l'arc méditerranéen, d'Agde (Hérault) à Menton (Alpes-Maritimes), en passant par La Seyne-sur-Mer (Var). Il enregistre aussi des déconvenues dans les grandes villes, à Toulon notamment, qui semblait prenable vu l'avance de Laure Lavalette au premier tour, et, dans une moindre mesure, à Nîmes, où Julien Sanchez était lui aussi arrivé premier d'une courte tête le 15 mars.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's essay "Kafka And His Precursors", in which he first examines the idea of literary precursors, and then identifies and briefly discusses six precursors to the works of Franz Kafka, in his view. These are: Zeno's paradoxes of motion an apologue by Han Yu the writings of Kierkegaard Browning's poem "Fears and Scruples" a short story by Léon Bloy Lord Dunsany's short story "Carcassonne" To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Get Borges' Other Inquisitions here - https://amzn.to/4br9pul

Au sommaire : Les élections municipales ont été marquées par la victoire de la gauche dans les grandes métropoles comme Paris et Marseille, sans alliance avec La France Insoumise.Le Rassemblement National a poursuivi son implantation dans les villes moyennes, remportant notamment des victoires à Carcassonne, Castres et Carpentras.La droite républicaine a subi un recul important, notamment à Marseille où le candidat RN Franck Allisio a accusé la candidate LR Martine Vassal et le président Renaissance de la région PACA Renaud Muselier d'avoir "trahi les électeurs de la droite sincère".À Lyon, le candidat écologiste Grégory Doucet a été réélu de justesse face à Jean-Michel Aulas.Le Rassemblement National revendique 55 communes de plus de 3500 habitants et plus de 3000 conseillers municipaux, soit le double de son record de 2014.La droite se présente comme la première force politique de France avec des victoires à Besançon, Clermont-Ferrand et Limoges.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Au XIIIe siècle, l'église romaine lance la croisade contre les Cathares. Dans le Languedoc médiéval, des villes comme Béziers ou Carcassonne sont assiégées et leurs habitants massacrés au nom de la lutte contre l'hérésie. « Tuez-les tous, Dieu reconnaitra les siens », aurait déclaré le légat du Pape lors du siège de Béziers en 1209.

Peter and Eden kick off with Eden's very dramatic Iowa snowstorm (back of the house: buried; front of the house: a dusting) and a quick check-in before diving into their respective "what have you been checking out" updates — Eden on two gloriously bad movies from March Badness, plus a deep dive into obscure 80s/90s indie comics; Peter on the new Lamb of God album, Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 4, and the news that he scored VIP tickets to the Rest Is History Festival in London. The main event is a 64-entry tabletop/board/card game bracket that Peter built himself, working through matchups fast and loose until Uno improbably but correctly takes the whole thing.SHOW NOTESEden's snowstorm saga — A dramatic morning shoveling reveal: six inches of heavy, shovel-sticking snow piled against the back door; the front walkway needed about five seconds of clearing. Wind had blown everything to one side of the house.March Badness — Eden attended a bracket-format bad movie night with friends. The event has been running since 2022 and involves voting down from 32 trailers to four films, then watching two. This year's picks: Oblivion (1990s sci-fi western featuring the very tall man from Twin Peaks in a towering top hat — "boring bad") and Hell Squad (1986 exploitation film about Vegas dancers recruited as mercenary commandos — "the second worst movie I've ever seen," edged out only by the 2025 War of the Worlds with Ice Cube).Defiant Comics / Warriors of Plasm / Ms. Mystic — Eden acquired Issue Zero of Warriors of Plasm, which was released as a series of trading cards you assemble into comic pages. This spiraled into a rabbit hole of obscure 80s/90s indie publishers, including Continuity Comics (founded by Neal Adams), and Eden declaring that Ms. Mystic — a character with 15 issues total — is now her favorite superhero on the strength of her zipatone-gradient costume alone.Lamb of God — Into Oblivion — Peter's been on repeat with the new Lamb of God album (released Friday). Highlight: the single "Sepsis," which opens as an unexpectedly sludgy, slow-burn bass groove before shifting into more traditional territory. Peter calls it his favorite LOG album since Resolution (2012). Ten songs, 39 minutes — "comes in, punches you in the nuts, and leaves."Dungeon Crawler Carl — Peter finished Book 4 on the drive back from Boise and is into Book 5. The epilogue of Book 4 opens up the surface-level lore in a meaningful way.Rest Is History Festival — Peter won a lottery for VIP tickets to the inaugural Rest Is History Festival, July 4–5 at Hampton Court Palace (Henry VIII's palace) in London. He and his wife are planning a 10-day trip around it. He notes the podcast pulls ~45,000 paying subscribers and around a million YouTube streams per episode.The Board Game Bracket — The main segment: Peter built a custom bracket website (following his tier list site) and ran a 64-entry tabletop/card/board game tournament with Eden. Notable moments: near-unanimous hatred of Monopoly (Eden explains the original Quaker socialist two-part design that Milton Bradley gutted), Cards Against Humanity deemed fun exactly twice before becoming "the Edgelord game," and genuine anguish over Little Flower Shop vs. Carcassonne in the Final Four ("Sophie's Choice").The Winner: Uno — Uno defeated Little Flower Shop in the final. Both agree it's the rare game that works straight out of the box, with house rules, and across weird spin-off versions. Eden: "Maybe the quintessential card game."Notable early exits: Settlers of Catan (Eden: "Fuck Settlers of Catan" — Cassie concurs), Ticket to Ride (fun twice, then "okay"), Munchkin (Eden used to own five versions; now owns zero).

Rising dramatically over the village of Quin, the 15th-century Franciscan friary is one of the most atmospheric medieval sites in the country. But could it be more than a ruin? Could careful restoration and imaginative vision transform it into a vibrant heritage centrepiece for Clare, drawing visitors from around the world while honouring its extraordinary past? To explore this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Garry Miley, Ogonnelloe-based architect on Tuesday's Morning focus.

This month, Andi and Rae discuss two early visionaries of preservation, often described as foes: Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and John Ruskin. Their thoughts on architecture, authorship, and reuse are all still current today. In particular, Notre Dame would likely not have survived the disastrous 2019 fire quite so well without the work pioneered 150 years earlier. Plus, both men were charismatic fellows with excellent facial hair. So come learn about Mr. Beard and Mr. Sideburns, and discover how places like Carcassonne and Notre Dame got a new lease on life.

"Renting a Boat on the Canal du Midi with Bobbi Heath" is your ultimate guide to one of France's most magical slow travel experiences. In this episode, host Annie Sargent chats with Bobbi Heath, a passionate traveler and boating enthusiast, about her week-long adventure renting a boat on the Canal du Midi. If you've ever dreamed of cruising through France's picturesque countryside, sipping wine, and exploring historic villages—all without needing a boating license—this conversation is packed with practical tips and inspiration. Listen to this episode ad-free Bobbi and her friends started their journey in Homps, a quiet town near Carcassonne, where they rented a boat from Le Boat. No experience? No problem. The Canal du Midi is beginner-friendly, with easy-to-navigate locks and a relaxed pace. Bobbi shares how they mastered the locks (hint: going downstream first makes it easier!), where to find the best wine (hello, Minervois region!), and why this trip is perfect for groups of four. She even reveals her favorite stops, like Le Somail, home to a legendary bookstore (Le Trouve-Tout du Livre), and Carcassonne, where medieval charm meets modern dining at La Table d'Alais. You'll learn how to plan your route, what to pack (duffel bags, not suitcases!), and why early mornings at the locks mean shorter waits. Bobbi also dives into the joys of slow travel—biking along the towpath, shopping at local markets, and enjoying picnics on deck with fresh baguettes and cheese. The Canal du Midi isn't just a waterway; it's a journey through history, wine country, and some of France's most authentic villages. From practical advice on renting boats (expect to pay around $1,200/week) to insider tips on avoiding tourist crowds, this episode covers it all. Whether you're a wine lover, history buff, or just craving a unique getaway, Bobbi's stories will have you ready to book your own canal adventure. If you love France but want to escape the usual tourist spots, this boat trip is the perfect way to see the country at your own pace.

A la fin du XIXe siècle, dans le petit village de Rennes-le-Château, perché à 40 kilomètres de Carcassonne, un curé devient subitement riche... riche à millions. Nul ne sait d'où vient sa fortune, mais tout le monde en parle et l'énigme va s'épaissir. Trésor des Templiers, magot des Cathares ou simple coup de génie financier ?

It's been a year since the last time we sat down for a pod but this one is least recorded within the last month - we're making progress! Joe hosts JT, Sam, and Jono to talk all things games, TV (except this episode), and film. Games * Joe starts the show discussing Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's unique open-world action game where you play a courier trying to reconnect a post-apocalyptic United States. * Sam heads to Steam Deck Corner to check out the wacky physics-based comedy of What the Golf? (a game that makes fun of golf) and the digitally adapted classic board game, Carcassonne (where players build a medieval French landscape one tile at a time). * JT and Jono give their first impressions after picking up the brand-new Switch 2 console. Film * Jono and JT review two major new films: the sleek sci-fi sequel Tron: Ares (about a highly advanced program crossing into the real world) and the gritty biographical sports drama The Smashing Machine (starring Dwayne Johnson as legendary MMA pioneer Mark Kerr). * Sam took inspiration from Ed Gein to watch the 1960 horror classic Psycho, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. * Joe wraps up the reviews with two genre films: Weapons: A new supernatural mystery-horror film about a group of children who all vanish at the same time and Arrival: Denis Villeneuve's thoughtful sci-fi drama about a linguist (Amy Adams) trying to communicate with aliens who have landed on Earth.

It was a great time and we had the opportunity to play a bunch of group games, eat a ton of food, and test our Halloween knowledge through Wits and Wagers, what a classic. We even got the chance to do a local constructed deck Star Wars Unlimited tournament that sucked in a bunch of new players. So, in a way, we were like a bunch of vampires and brought them into the fold Magical Athlete is a riotous racing game where fantasy characters with wildly asymmetric powers compete in unpredictable sprints. It's light, fast, dice rolling game that will have hilarious moments throughout the game—perfect for groups who love a bit of chaos. Dirt & Dust, by contrast, is a deck builder that leans into the solitaire play with players trying to solve their own challenges while not really being impacted by others. Then there's Railroad Tiles, a spatial puzzle that rewards clever planning and route optimization. It's a satisfying blend of tactical tile placement and long-term strategy, ideal for fans of games like Carcassonne or Metro. Finally, Umami brings a unique twist to the table: a culinary-themed game that's all about balancing flavors and crafting harmonious dishes. With elegant mechanics and a soothing aesthetic, it's a game that feels like a warm bowl of ramen on a rainy day. Together, these four titles form a kind of tasting menu for board gamers—each one distinct, memorable, and worth savoring. Whether you're in the mood for laughter, clever puzzles, or thematic immersion, this quartet offers a delicious spread of experiences. Just like the buffet table at BooBQ.

He talks about transitioning from games like Monopoly to discovering the more advanced Carcassonne, which became his gateway into modern board gaming. Dan explores the relationship between game themes and mechanisms, saying he's drawn to games where these elements work together cohesively. He discusses his collection's evolution from simple games he could play with his family to more complex strategy titles, and touches on his fascination with observing how people interact with game systems.

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, Annie Sargent shares the Bootcamp 2025 Report with guests Janet Boyd, Beth Hall, Mary Piltch, and Jeanne Powanda. Together, they look back on a week in Toulouse and the southwest of France filled with language, history, food, and friendship. Listen to this episode ad-free Bootcamp isn't a packaged tour. It's a flexible way to explore France in the company of fellow Francophiles. Each person chooses what to do each day, but the group also gathers for shared adventures. That balance of independence and connection makes Bootcamp special. Janet, Beth, Mary, and Jeanne describe language classes at LangueOnze in Toulouse and share stories of excursions with Elyse Rivin. They talk about unforgettable visits to Albi, Carcassonne, Foix, Bruniquel, Pech Merle, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, and Cahors. They also mention smaller experiences like wine tastings, a canal ride, and museums such as the Toulouse Resistance Museum and the Musée Saint-Raymond. Not everything went smoothly. There were rainstorms, illness, and the occasional missed outing. But those hiccups became part of the story, a reminder that real travel is unpredictable. What matters most is the camaraderie, the discoveries, and the laughter along the way. Bootcamp 2025 shows what it feels like to experience France beyond the tourist trail. It's about castles and caves, local food, and the joy of connecting with people who share the same passion for French culture.

Cozy is the new zombie. Or Cthulhu. Seriously -- just keep your eye on those store shelves (especially over the next few months), and you'll likely see so many new board games themed around the art of non-conflict. Maybe you'll be cuddling up with kitties. Or you'll be sitting around, peacefully matching tiles at your own pace. Or you'll be arranging books around your home in ways that please only you, as in our guest's co-designed A Place for All My Books. Alex Cutler joins the podcast this week to talk about what exactly makes a game "cozy." Plus we lean into his experience as a developer (not just designer) to learn what makes for a good product. Sure, great gameplay is a must -- but what else will make gamers want to make that purchase? Timeline: 3:15 - Going Analog's game pick: Black Forest. 6:59 - Alex's game pick: Fishing. 10:33 - Going Analog's topic: cozy games. 22:12 - Alex's topic: what makes a game a good product.

How do you plan a smooth and memorable trip across France using trains, rental cars, and buses? In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, titled Navigating France by Train, Car, and Bus, host Annie Sargent chats with Stephen Nicholson about his 24-day journey through France. Stephen and his wife combined different types of transportation to explore big cities, small towns, and hidden gems—without joining a tour group. They started in Paris and used the OuiGo high-speed train to reach Avignon, then added regional trains, rental cars, and local buses to visit places like Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Carcassonne, Sarlat-la-Canéda, and Amboise. Stephen shares practical advice on booking train tickets, rebooking car rentals to save money, and using travel apps to avoid stress. Annie and Stephen also talk about how to find the best parking in small villages, how to use luggage storage services, and why it's smart to plan around French public holidays. They touch on lesser-known challenges like fuel station card holds and using Wise debit cards in Europe. Whether you're planning to travel light, visit Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, or simply get the most out of your trip without overpacking your schedule, this episode is full of useful, real-world tips.
