Au d\u00e9part, c\u2019\u00e9tait un jeu : Paul a fait une simulation, on pourrait aller ici ou l\u00e0, en passant par ici ou par l\u00e0. Il y a des chambres avec un coin cuisine \u00e0 un tarif raisonnable. C\u2019est loin, mille kilom\u00e8tres, le train s\u2019impose ! On se pose des tas de questions dans tous les sens, j\u2019y vas-t-y j\u2019y vas-t-y pas, mais on n\u2019a pas de r\u00e9ponse.<\/strong>
Pour finir, on clique sur une touche quelconque et on confirme toutes les r\u00e9servations, le train, la chambre\u2026 Moins de dix jours avant le d\u00e9part. Ce sera en train le lundi et le samedi, avec entre ces deux dates quatre jours pour d\u00e9couvrir Br\u00eame.<\/strong>
Initially, it was a game: Paul did a simulation, we could go here or there, passing this way or that way. There are rooms with a kitchenette at a reasonable rate. It’s a long way, a thousand miles, the train is needed! We ask ourselves a lot of questions in all directions, I’m going there I’m not going there, but we don’t have an answer.<\/span><\/strong>
Finally, we click on any button and we confirm all the reservations, the train, the room\u2026 Less than ten days before departure. It will be in train on Monday and Saturday, with between these two dates four days to discover Bremen.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Plus ennuyeux, nous prenons un tram apr\u00e8s la visite d\u2019un mus\u00e9e, apparemment celui qui nous a d\u00e9pos\u00e9s ici, mais il d\u00e9vie de sa trajectoire vers le centre. Nous trouvons le retour long, Paul ne reconna\u00eet pas les noms des stations qu\u2019il avait tent\u00e9 de rep\u00e9rer, nous finissons par nous retrouver abandonn\u00e9s en pleine banlieue. Notre retour dans un tram brinquebalant dure bien plus longtemps que l\u2019aller.<\/strong>
Depuis des ann\u00e9es nous allons dans des pays dont nous connaissons plus ou moins la langue. Je n\u2019ai pas eu le temps d\u2019assimiler quelques notions d\u2019allemand, comme je l\u2019ai fait pour aller en Slov\u00e9nie ou en Roumanie. Alors, on se d\u00e9brouille en anglais, ce qui r\u00e9duit la communication \u00e0 l\u2019essentiel. S\u2019il n\u2019y a pas de confusion totale !<\/strong>
More boring, we take a tram after visiting a museum, apparently the one that dropped us here, but it deviates from its path towards the center. We find the return long, Paul does not recognize the names of the stations he had tried to locate, we end up finding ourselves abandoned in the middle of the suburbs. Our return in a rickety tram lasts much longer than the outward journey.<\/span><\/strong>
For years we have been going to countries whose language we know more or less. I did not have time to assimilate a few notions of German, as I did to go to Slovenia or Romania. So we manage in English, which reduces communication to the essentials. If there is no total confusion!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

C\u2019est devenu tr\u00e8s compliqu\u00e9 le samedi au retour, quand nous avons compris que nous n\u2019aurons pas notre correspondance. L\u2019homme \u00e0 tout faire (les contr\u00f4leurs font aussi le service du bar\u2026) nous a pris en charge\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Vous ne descendrez pas comme pr\u00e9vu, vous continuerez jusqu\u2019\u00e0 Karlsruhe, je reviendrai vous voir car pour le moment je n\u2019ai pas les informations.\u00a0\u00bb Nous pensons qu\u2019il ne les aura que quand le train aura chang\u00e9 de land. Il revient vers nous apr\u00e8s que le micro ait crachot\u00e9 un long discours dans lequel nous avons vaguement compris \u00ab\u00a0Paris, Lyon, Marseille\u00a0\u00bb, ces mots noy\u00e9s dans un discours inaudible en anglais. Il est obligeant et patient, il nous fait une belle explication de texte et s\u2019assure que nous avons tout compris.<\/strong>
It became very complicated on the Saturday on the way back, when we realized that we won’t have our connection. The handyman (the controllers also do the bar service…) took care of us: \u00ab You will not get off as planned, you will continue to Karlsruhe, I will come back to see you because at the moment I don’t have the information. \u00bb We think he will have them only when the train arrives in another land. He comes back to us after the microphone sputters a long speech in which we vaguely understand \u00ab Paris, Lyon, Marseille \u00bb, these words drowned in an inaudible speech in English. He is obliging and patient, he gives us a nice explanation of the text and makes sure that we have understood everything.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

\u00c0 Karlsruhe, comme il nous l\u2019a indiqu\u00e9, nous prenons un train pour Paris. Une contr\u00f4leuse fran\u00e7aise charmante (et qui ne g\u00e8re pas les commandes du bar) nous conseille de faire telle recherche, mais, en plus de ne pas parler allemand, nous voyageons sans smartphone, et cela la laisse abasourdie. Tout aussi aimable que son coll\u00e8gue d\u2019Outre-Rhin, elle nous indique comment passer de la gare de l\u2019Est \u00e0 la gare de Lyon, et nous conseille de prendre nos tickets de m\u00e9tro ici-m\u00eame, au bar. Ce qui nous permet de filer \u00e0 grande vitesse d\u2019une gare \u00e0 l\u2019autre et m\u00eame d\u2019avoir le temps de faire une r\u00e9servation sur le Paris-Lyon. <\/strong>
In Karlsruhe, as he told us, we take a train to Paris. A charming French controller (and who doesn’t manage the bar orders) advises us to do such research, but, in addition to not speaking German, we travel without a smartphone, and that leaves her stunned. Just as friendly as her colleague from across the Rhine, she tells us how to get from the Gare de l’Est to the Gare de Lyon, and advises us to get our metro tickets right here, at the bar. This allows us to go at high speed from one station to another and even to have time to make a reservation on the Paris-Lyon.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Un autre probl\u00e8me est apparu pendant ce voyage.<\/strong>
Au quotidien, en France aussi bien qu\u2019en Allemagne, je suis confront\u00e9e \u00e0 une nouvelle difficult\u00e9, les pictogrammes : sur un appareil de chauffage\/climatisation, le soleil veut dire \u00ab hiver \u00bb et le flocon de neige \u00ab \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00bb, parce que le soleil veut dire \u00ab on chauffe \u00bb et le flocon \u00ab on refroidit \u00bb. Une autre logique voudrait le contraire, c\u2019est une question de convention. Mes r\u00e9serves feraient sourire Alicia, qui pr\u00f4ne le langage FALC, \u00ab Facile \u00c0 Lire et \u00e0 Comprendre \u00bb, la langue des pictogrammes<\/a>. Je viens de trouver ce site qui \u00e9mane d\u2019une agence de communication \u00e0 Lille-Nord, o\u00f9 il semble possible de devenir incollable sur la langue FALC ! J\u2019y passerai peut-\u00eatre du temps, plus tard, si \u00e7a peut m\u2019\u00eatre utile\u2026 Pour le moment, je suis loin d\u2019\u00eatre convaincue de l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat de cette langue.<\/strong>
Another problem arose during this trip.<\/span><\/strong>
On a daily basis, in France as well as in Germany, I am confronted with a new difficulty, the pictograms: on a heating\/air conditioning device, the sun means \u00ab winter \u00bb and the snowflake means \u00ab summer \u00bb, because the sun means \u00ab we heat \u00bb and the snowflake means \u00ab we cool \u00bb. Another logic would like the opposite, it is a matter of convention. My hesitation would make Alicia smile, who advocates the FALC language, \u00ab Facile \u00c0 Lire et \u00e0 Comprendre \u00bb, \u00ab Easy To Read and Understand \u00bb, the language of pictograms<\/a>. I have just found this site which comes from a communication agency in Lille-Nord, where it seems possible to become unbeatable on the FALC language! I will perhaps spend some time there, later, if it can be useful to me\u2026 For the moment, I am far from being convinced of the interest of this language.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Malgr\u00e9 tout ce qui pr\u00e9c\u00e8de, ni les trajets ni le s\u00e9jour en Allemagne n\u2019ont \u00e9t\u00e9 une catastrophe, bien au contraire. On apprend plus ou moins \u00e0 vivre dans un monde qui change trop vite, qui nous d\u00e9passe. M\u00eame s\u2019il s\u2019agit seulement de mesurer nos \u00e9ventuelles incapacit\u00e9s, en avoir conscience me semble une bonne chose. Retournons donc en Allemagne.<\/strong>
Despite all the above, neither the journeys nor the stay in Germany were a disaster, quite the contrary. We learn more or less to live in a world that is changing too quickly, that is beyond us. Even if it is only a question of measuring our possible incapacities, being aware of it seems to me a good thing. So let’s go back to Germany.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Ici aussi les guerres de religion ont fait des ravages. La ville conserve une reconnaissance \u00e9ternelle \u00e0 Roland (pas le m\u00eame que chez nous), dont la statue de plus de dix m\u00e8tres de haut avec le socle fait face \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9glise. Cette statue a \u00e9t\u00e9 prot\u00e9g\u00e9e des bombardements par des murs construits tout autour avec du sable pour combler les espaces vides.<\/strong>
Here too the religious wars have wreaked havoc. The city retains an eternal gratitude to Roland (not the same as ours), whose statue of more than ten meters high with the base faces the church. This statue was protected from bombardments by walls built around it with sand to fill in the empty spaces.<\/span><\/strong>

<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Au pied de Roland se trouve l\u2019estropi\u00e9, personnage \u00e9nigmatique. Il y a de cela bien longtemps, la comtesse Emma \u00e9tait pr\u00eate \u00e0 c\u00e9der des terres \u00e0 la ville\u00a0: elle accordait autant de terre que ce qu\u2019un homme est capable de parcourir en un jour. Son neveu exigea que ce soit un estropi\u00e9 qui ferait ce travail. L\u2019homme r\u00e9ussit \u00e0 parcourir 130 hectares (je suppose qu\u2019il a fait une boucle\u00a0!) mais mourut d\u2019\u00e9puisement. <\/strong>
At Roland’s feet is the cripple, an enigmatic character. Long ago, Countess Emma was willing to cede land to the city: she granted as much land as a man can walk in a day. His nephew demanded that a cripple do the job. The man managed to cover 130 hectares (I guess he made a loop!) but died of exhaustion.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

On ne peut visiter Br\u00eame sans se perdre dans les ruelles du Schnoor, quartier m\u00e9di\u00e9val relativement \u00e9pargn\u00e9 par les bombardements. Peu de temps apr\u00e8s la guerre, un projet d\u2019autoroute a failli en venir \u00e0 bout.

You cannot visit Bremen without getting lost in the alleys of the Schnoor, a medieval quarter relatively spared from the bombardments. Shortly after the war, a highway project almost came to an end.
