  • VATICAN CITY, ROMA, ITALY - NOVEMBER, 20: Vatican Illustration.<br />
St. Peter's Basilica.<br />
Vatican City. Located on what was known in antiquity the ager Vaticanus, the banks of the Tiber, and at some distance from the Vatican Mountains, it stands on the former "Imperial Gardens" that were owned by Agrippina.<br />
His son, the emperor Caligula, also built a private circus, Circus Vaticanus, whose obelisk planted in the heart of the Piazza San Pietro is one of its only remnants. In this circus took place the martyrdom of many Christians at the time of Nero.<br />
St Peter was buried in the north of the circus and the Emperor Constantine built a basilica on the grand circus. This building was replaced by the current basilica during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

  • Created over 60 years ago, in a <br />
seventeenth century's building , it bears the name of the gypsy girl who illuminates with her grace, the novel by Victor Hugo.<br />
Contrary to what one might think, it is not the oldest hotel in Paris, but it is inside one of the oldest house of the capital.<br />
Several rooms offer stunning views of the towers of Notre Dame and the Seine. In this setting of old stone with exposed beams and tiled floors, artists like Hugo Pratt, Béjart or  Gainsbourg often stopped here... Decorated with antiques collected at the flea market, each room has its personality.<br />
Sometimes, the shadow of Quasimodo glides over the towers.<br />
<br />
Créé il y a une soixantaine d'années dans un bâtiment du XVIIe siècle, cet hotel porte le nom de la gitane qui illumine de sa grâce le roman de Victor Hugo.<br />
Contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait penser, ce n'est pas le plus vieil hôtel de Paris, mais il est dans l'une des plus anciennes maisons de la capitale.<br />
<br />
Plusieurs chambres offrent une vue imprenable sur les tours de Notre-Dame et la Seine. Dans ce cadre de vieilles pierres avec poutres apparentes et carrelage au sol, des artistes comme Hugo Pratt, Béjart ou Gainsbourg s'arrêtait souvent ici ... Décoré avec des antiquités recueillies au marché aux puces, chaque chambre a sa propre personnalité.<br />
Parfois, l'ombre de Quasimodo glisse sur les tours.

  • VATICAN CITY, ROMA, ITALY - NOVEMBER, 20: Vatican Illustration.<br />
St. Peter's Basilica.<br />
Vatican City. Located on what was known in antiquity the ager Vaticanus, the banks of the Tiber, and at some distance from the Vatican Mountains, it stands on the former "Imperial Gardens" that were owned by Agrippina.<br />
His son, the emperor Caligula, also built a private circus, Circus Vaticanus, whose obelisk planted in the heart of the Piazza San Pietro is one of its only remnants. In this circus took place the martyrdom of many Christians at the time of Nero.<br />
St Peter was buried in the north of the circus and the Emperor Constantine built a basilica on the grand circus. This building was replaced by the current basilica during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

  • Created over 60 years ago, in a <br />
seventeenth century's building , it bears the name of the gypsy girl who illuminates with her grace, the novel by Victor Hugo.<br />
Contrary to what one might think, it is not the oldest hotel in Paris, but it is inside one of the oldest house of the capital.<br />
Several rooms offer stunning views of the towers of Notre Dame and the Seine. In this setting of old stone with exposed beams and tiled floors, artists like Hugo Pratt, Béjart or  Gainsbourg often stopped here... Decorated with antiques collected at the flea market, each room has its personality.<br />
Sometimes, the shadow of Quasimodo glides over the towers.<br />

Créé il y a une soixantaine d'années dans un bâtiment du XVIIe siècle, cet hotel porte le nom de la gitane qui illumine de sa grâce le roman de Victor Hugo.<br />
Contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait penser, ce n'est pas le plus vieil hôtel de Paris, mais il est dans l'une des plus anciennes maisons de la capitale.<br />
<br />
Plusieurs chambres offrent une vue imprenable sur les tours de Notre-Dame et la Seine. Dans ce cadre de vieilles pierres avec poutres apparentes et carrelage au sol, des artistes comme Hugo Pratt, Béjart ou Gainsbourg s'arrêtait souvent ici ...

  • In 1975, as many as 100 sex workers in France gathered at Lyon’s Saint-Nizier Church and protested against the criminalisation of their work and exploitative living conditions
The occupation of Saint - Nizier church by Lyon prostitutes refers to the ten-day occupation of the Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon by more than a hundred prostitutes on 2 June 1975 to draw attention to their inhumane working conditions.
The occupation lasted eight days until the women were removed by the police on 10 June. Sympathetic occupations of churches by prostitutes have been followed in Paris, Marseille, Grenoble, Saint-Étienne and Montpellier.
This day is celebrated in order to amplify the voices of those involved in sex work. The living conditions of sex workers are often exploitative. It is because of the reason that sex work is criminalised in several countries and therefore, its workers are not treated like those working in other professions. 
The protest happened each 2 June and this is why it is today marked as International Sex Workers' Day.
It is significant as even today, sex workers around the world are struggling to get basic rights. 
The day acts as a platform to demand equal rights. 
It also celebrates the impact of the first protest and how when together, the community of sex workers is stronger.

  • 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

  • Church Saint-Roch is the largest church in Quebec City. It was constructed between 1914 and 1923. It is the fourth successive church of the same name to be constructed at the site.<br />
The church was built by the same architects as the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica and The steel-framed building is clad in black granite from nearby Rivière-à-Pierre and has two 45 metre steeples<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".

The occupation lasted eight days until the women were removed by the police on 10 June. Sympathetic occupations of churches by prostitutes have been followed in Paris, Marseille, Grenoble, Saint-Étienne and Montpellier.
This day is celebrated in order to amplify the voices of those involved in sex work. The living conditions of sex workers are often exploitative. It is because of the reason that sex work is criminalised in several countries and therefore, its workers are not treated like those working in other professions. 
The protest happened each 2 June and this is why it is today marked as International Sex Workers' Day.
It is significant as even today, sex workers around the world are struggling to get basic rights. 
The day acts as a platform to demand equal rights. 
It also celebrates the impact of the first protest and how when together, the community of sex workers is stronger.

  • VATICAN CITY, ROMA, ITALY - NOVEMBER, 20: New consistory in Vatican City. <br />
Pope Benedict XVI formally created 24 new cardinals in St. Peter's Basilica, , including 10 Italians, as he moves to put his stamp on Vatican affairs.<br />
The basilica was awash in red as some 150 cardinals from around the world came to Rome for the occasion of welcoming in their newest members.<br />
The 24 new cardinals include heads of Vatican congregations, archbishops of major cities in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, and one of them is  Archbishop Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya (DRC) who took an active part in the Congolese government, when Mobutu died.<br />
The new intake includes clergy who hold key Church posts in Kinshasa, Quito, Lusaka, Munich and Warsaw.<br />
Their numbers bring the College of Cardinals to 203, 121 of whom are under age 80, making them eligible to choose the next pontiff.<br />
During the ceremony, the new cardinals each promised to obey the pope, reading an oath in Latin to maintain communion with the Holy See, keep secrets given to them and not divulge anything that might bring harm onto the church.<br />
After pledging the oath, each new cardinal receives his red zucchetto, or skullcap, and biretta, a three-ridged hat worn over it.<br />
The new cardinals bring to 25 the number of Italians eligible to select the next pontiff, leading some Vatican watchers to speculate that the next Pope will be Italian.<br />
For four centuries, until the election of Polish Pope John Paul II in 1978, the papacy was dominated by Italians.<br />
It is the third time Pope Benedict has chosen new cardinals since succeeding John Paul II in 2005 and with this addition, he will have hand-picked 40 percent of the college, infusing it with conservative, tradition-minded prelates like himself and almost ensuring that a future pope will carry on the path he has set out for the church.<br />

  • VATICAN CITY, ROMA, ITALY - NOVEMBER, 20: New consistory in Vatican City. <br />
Pope Benedict XVI formally created 24 new cardinals in St. Peter's Basilica, , including 10 Italians, as he moves to put his stamp on Vatican affairs.<br />
The basilica was awash in red as some 150 cardinals from around the world came to Rome for the occasion of welcoming in their newest members.<br />
The 24 new cardinals include heads of Vatican congregations, archbishops of major cities in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, and one of them is  Archbishop Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya (DRC) who took an active part in the Congolese government, when Mobutu died.<br />
The new intake includes clergy who hold key Church posts in Kinshasa, Quito, Lusaka, Munich and Warsaw.<br />
Their numbers bring the College of Cardinals to 203, 121 of whom are under age 80, making them eligible to choose the next pontiff.<br />
During the ceremony, the new cardinals each promised to obey the pope, reading an oath in Latin to maintain communion with the Holy See, keep secrets given to them and not divulge anything that might bring harm onto the church.<br />
After pledging the oath, each new cardinal receives his red zucchetto, or skullcap, and biretta, a three-ridged hat worn over it.<br />
The new cardinals bring to 25 the number of Italians eligible to select the next pontiff, leading some Vatican watchers to speculate that the next Pope will be Italian.<br />
