OMG4726261: Le College des Bernardins, 20 rue de Poissy, Paris 75005. Renovation by Herve Baptisses Chief Architect of Historic Monuments and Jean-Michel Wilmotte for contemporary parts, 2001-2008. It was at the beginning of the 13th century that the Abbe of Clairvaux decided, with the agreement of the General Chapter of the Cistercians, to set up a college in Paris to train the religious of this order, also known as Bernardins. The house in which the monks had first chosen home is soon too small, and it becomes necessary to build a new building. The College of Bernardins enjoyed various fortunes over the centuries. Confiscated by the Revolutionaries, he became Bien National before being reclaimed in 2001 by the Dlocese of Paris. After heavy restoration work, the Bernardine Convent regained its original function. Place of research and debate in the centre of the Cite.

LBY4724853: The Great Wall of China is close to Pekin. Construction of the Great Wall began in the 9th and 8th century BC, and continued for more than 2,000 years. If all its constructions and trunks spread across the vast region of North and Central China were combined, the Great Wall would extend over 50,000 km (100,000 li). Indeed, historical records show that since the Fighting Kingdoms, more than 20 feodal states and imperial dynasties have begun building defense walls. Photography 25/10/07 / Bridgeman Images
