Commanderie Saint Jean

Aka prison Ste Marguerite, aka Ecole Nationale d'Administration, aka Institut national du service public.

At first a chapelbuilt around 1150, then a convent, through the centuries a big commandery built by the Knights of the Teutonic order, later in 1520 a hospital for syphilitic patients, in 1734 a prison for women. In 1993, it became the ENA, formerly in Paris, a school for senior officials (Macron studied here, former french presidents François Hollande, Jacques Chirac, Valery Giscard Destaing, countless ministers, and many foreigners studied in Paris.) Since 2022, Institut national du service public, more or less the same thing, with a new name.

Along the river bank, a fish ramp, or stair.

November CDP theme day: breakfast

My breakfast usually consists of coffee. But now and then, I fall for a nice English breakfast! This one was in a small village in Corfu.
