  • Here is Jon, lion of 10 or 15 years old recovered a few days ago by the Tonga association.<br />
This starving lion, arrived in St Martin la Plaine, was entrusted by "One Voice" association, further to a seizure by the authorities in a circus in Normandy.<br />
He weighs only 116kg, almost half the weight of a lion his age.<br />
His coat is very damaged with many skinless areas.<br />
It is a bruised lion, it bears many wounds on the body, in particular on its tail which presents several open wounds some of which are very deep.<br />
The state of its dentition is very degraded, several teeth are very damaged and it no longer has a hook.<br />
Jon has no claws either.<br />
He has a very soft character, he shows no sign of aggressiveness and even seeks contact.<br />
The former owner claims that because of the coronavirus, he could not feed him ...<br />
And what about the wounds? <br />
Once healed, a place awaits Jon in a reserve in South Africa<br />
<br />
Tonga is a center is unique in France<br />
https://www.association-tonga.com/<br />
The association collects wild animals seized by the authorities for lack of authorization to detain, poor conditions of detention or ill-treatment. They come from circuses, laboratories or individuals.<br />
The association's premises are located near the Espace Zoologique de Saint Martin la Plaine and are not open to the public.

  • ROME, ITALY - NOVEMBER, 20: Illustration. Sant'Agnese in Agone is a seventeenth century Baroque church in Rome. It faces onto the Piazza Navona, one of the main urban spaces in the historic centre of the city and the site where the Early Christian Saint Agnes was martyred in the ancient Stadium of Domitian.<br />
<br />
The rebuilding of the church was begun in 1652 at the instigation of Pope Innocent X whose family palace, the Palazzo Pamphili, faced onto the piazza and was adjacent to the site of the new church. The church was to be effectively a family chapel annexed to their residence.<br />
<br />
A number of architects were involved in the construction of the church, including Girolamo Rainaldi and his son Carlo Rainaldi, and two of the foremost Baroque architects, Francesco Borromini and the sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini

  • The Jesuit Chapel - A real gem to discover.<br />
To preserve and honor the precious relics of Saint Charles Garnier, the sculptor Gérard Marchand has produced a magnificent wooden box.<br />
On the front, Jesuits and young men gather in front of the relics of this Canadian martyr. The other faces show scenes of the missionary life of the Jesuit Charles Garnier with the Amerindians.<br />
At the four corners of the box, angels seem to stand guard.<br />
<br />
Algonquian people had originally named the area Kébec, meaning "where the river narrows", because the Saint Lawrence River narrows proximate to the promontory of Quebec and its Cape Diamant. <br />
Explorer Samuel de Champlain founded a French settlement here in 1608, and adopted the Algonguin language term. Quebec City is one of the oldest European cities in North America. <br />
The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec are the only fortified city walls remaining in the Americas north of Mexico. <br />
This area was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the "Historic District of Old Québec".

  • ROME, ITALY - JUNE 03: Illustration of Rome; Italy on June 03, 2012 .Piazza della Rotonda. The Pantheon (from Greek, an adjective meaning "to every god") is a building in Rome, Italy, commissioned by Marcus Agrippa as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome, and rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian in about 126 AD..Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.[3] The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft)..It is one of the best-preserved of all Roman buildings. It has been in continuous use throughout its history, and since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been used as a Roman Catholic church dedicated to "St. Mary and the Martyrs" but informally known as "Santa Maria della Rotonda." The square in front of the Pantheon is called Piazza della Rotonda...In the aftermath of the Battle of Actium (31 BC), Marcus Agrippa built and dedicated the original Pantheon during his third consulship (27 BC). Located in the Campus Martius, at the time of its construction, the area of the Pantheon was on the outskirts of Rome, and the area had a rural appearance. Under the Roman Republic the Campus Martius had served as a gathering place for elections and the army.

  • Basilique St Pierre. <br />
Cité du Vatican. Située sur ce que l'on appelait dans l'antiquité l'ager Vaticanus, aux bords du Tibre, et à quelque distance des Monts Vaticani, elle se dresse sur les anciens« jardins impériaux » qui furent propriété d'Agrippine.<br />
Son fils, l'empereur Caligula , y fit construire un cirque privé, le Circus Vaticanus, dont l'obélisque planté en plein coeur de la Piazza San Pietro constitue un de ses seuls vestiges. Dans ce cirque eut lieu le martyre de nombreux chretiens à l'époque de Néron.<br />
St Pierre fut enterré au nord de ce cirque puis l'empereur Constantin fit édifier une basilique grandiose sur le cirque. Cette edifice fut remplacé par l'actuelle basilique au cours des XVIe et XVIIe siècles.

  • Basilique St Pierre. <br />
Cité du Vatican. Située sur ce que l'on appelait dans l'antiquité l'ager Vaticanus, aux bords du Tibre, et à quelque distance des Monts Vaticani, elle se dresse sur les anciens« jardins impériaux » qui furent propriété d'Agrippine.<br />
Son fils, l'empereur Caligula , y fit construire un cirque privé, le Circus Vaticanus, dont l'obélisque planté en plein coeur de la Piazza San Pietro constitue un de ses seuls vestiges. Dans ce cirque eut lieu le martyre de nombreux chretiens à l'époque de Néron.<br />
St Pierre fut enterré au nord de ce cirque puis l'empereur Constantin fit édifier une basilique grandiose sur le cirque. Cette edifice fut remplacé par l'actuelle basilique au cours des XVIe et XVIIe siècles.
