What Does Delta Gamma Do For Initiation

Saying no to the 10 € of Marie Antoinette

Mail of a visitor to jean-Jacques Aillagon, president of the Versailles Palace:

mail Subject: "Sadness"

"Mr. President,
Sunday, October 3, 2010, first, first. First Time I discover that your new policy of paying access to the gardens and especially on the farm of Marie Antoinette. First planted and where disabled as many "sad individuals" before a booth where you explain it to pay its dues of 10 euros. First time I refuse ... I say it is impossible that somewhere I have to say no. First small cultural revolution in my profile good little citizen.

first time I try to explain to my children and their cousins, no, no detailed argument or at least historical (cultural gaps without doubt Mr. President) we can not or rather we must not accept the decision. First time I lost in my thoughts zap, surf, try the info on the Internet to understand why. First time I want to verify that no I am not alone and that other weird but probably have the same manner of protest or just surprise. First time I dare to write my protest, my confusion.

Some of the first times that are only small moments and emotional intelligence in the history of each. And then there are the firsts time, known as the firsts. Mr. President you come across history and across our country to sign one of those great moments.

Who will remember this day, my children, their cousins, me? Regardless, Mr. President, you and I will not be there to know ... Only oaks and minds we outsource later.

Allow me, Mr. President, to you my most sincere and warm tributes ... Free ":: Candide in the gardens of Versailles
attendance inflated with helium
Versailles, disturbing coincidence, endowed the Castle "finally an efficient ramp metering." It is his President Jean-Jacques Aillagon himself who announced very conveniently, on his blog in a post dated June 17 Without specifying the method technically, it would seem that this does for now that entries Dufour and Gabriel pavilions. Calculating the number of visitors for one day, he gave us reason then implicitly by including among the visitors to Big Water, only those who "paid a special ticket", that is to say non-cumulated with a castle or other ticket he explained. Indeed, we question the official attendance figures for the simple reason that there are in counted several times for the same day, the same people, in such proportions that it completely distorts the final statement. few days by the very serious Journal Arts resumed our argument on the "rat race to record attendance" of major museums not necessarily synonymous with quality, also questions the reliability of figures given by the institutions themselves (which does not even log used to establish its annual list of museums in the
interest and questionable method when Roland Recht was surprised to turn in a column published in the Journal of the Arts next.
To illustrate his point, the journalist was arrested on the Versailles case: "For 2009, the Chateau de Versailles has announced more than 7 million people (an increase of 10% of visitors) where the report of activity provides 4.6 million ...". Yes. How not surprising that these new figures yet bear no resemblance to those, officials, we have (5.4 million for 2009, the last press conference Aillagon JJ)! So do we expect to be able to verify that which emanates from the 2009 activity report in late August, is still not online on the website of the castle ...

Read "The policy of increasing" by Daphne Betard THE JOURNAL OF THE ARTS # 328 LOUVRE FOR ALL an active measure of cultural democratization: "The revised system of charging for our work, inspired by our desire to participate actively in the democratization of culture, and reflected mainly by the significant reduction of the tariff access to the National Museum of modern art (normal price 30 francs and 20 francs discount against 38 francs to 30 francs earlier) and by including the right of access to the Museum at any ticket purchased for an exhibition has largely contributed to the reaffirmation of the identity and activity of the National Museum of Modern Art in in all activities offered by the Centre Pompidou and his restoration to the forefront of the major museums of modern and contemporary art in the world. " However, betraying the lack of conviction followed a policy of cultural democratization who will soon become Minister of Culture, the following year, the decline will be erased to return almost to the price earlier: 36 francs museum entrance. Ditto for exposures will also increase substantially: 30 and 40 francs in 2000 for 42 and 56 francs in 2001 while eliminating "The inclusion of the right of access to the Museum" (Source: annual report Centre Pompidou, 2001).

Finally, to top it all, they omitted to mention Jean-Jacques Aillagon in 2000, was the end of free access to the panorama of the Centre via the escalator outside, attraction had been the glory of the building, now available for 20 francs. A free it will also remove certain areas gardens of Versailles. No, the democratization of culture, Jean-Jacques Aillagon, it's really not his thing.
