I often pass by along the banks of the vidourle on the gard side. A little further down there is the farmhouse which belonged to fanfonne guillerme, a great figure from the Gard who was called at the time "le petit teillan" guess his name now? The farmhouse of praviel. Madame fanfonne guillerme had bequeathed it to her gardener. It was a great lady of the bouvine ❤❤

The garden is lacking in flowers. There is a charge for a visit to the castle.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
