In the 30 seconds it took him to scale four storeys of a Paris apartment building to rescue a dangling child, Malian migrant Mamoudou Gassama went from being completely unknown in his adoptive France to becoming its national hero. His unlikely path to citizenship has earned him broad acclaim even as it sheds light on the desperate hope of so many like him to find a way to permanent residency and a new life in Europe.
A romantic ruin of a castle in central-west France has been rescued by a collective crowdfund effort to save it from destruction. La Mothe-Chandeniers castle now has nearly 25,000 new, proud co-owners, who raised 1.6 million euros between them to buy the site.
Jumping right off the pages of fairy tales and epic legends, this huge, Disney-like castle building is actually a fully functioning pre-school where little students go to learn while marveling at the wondrous walls of this imaginative place. The mystical building, called the 'Castle of childhood,' has a capacity of 150 children with a total area of 65,000 square feet of classrooms, creative spaces, playgrounds, study rooms, and even offers its own observatory.
Michel Pont is the owner of a wine chateau in the French Bourgondy. He is also the owner of a spectacular collection consisting of 100 fighter jets, from all types and countries.
After a money laundering affair and alleged €12 million fraud, the owner is now in prison awaiting trial where prosecutors accuse him of pretending to be dead to escape justice.
