Interresting Japanese space-saving concept of having a church on the 2nd floor and two chinese restaurants on the 1st! 🙂

Happy birthday! 🙂

Last Friday at #Japanexpo, I took part with Balak and Nao Hirasawa in a conference on the influence of Japan on French artists & the possible future collaborations between the two countries. The path we opened with #ObanStarRacers will hopefully soon lead to more, including Sav the World's own! 🙂

Last Tuesday was the 75th anniversary of Japan's membership to UNESCO, an important date that marked the gradual readmission of the country in international organizations. I was honoured to be a guest at the celebrations held in Paris for that occasion 🙂

Crazy storm in Paris last night. Waking up in with my neighborhood filled with broken branches and even large trees that just snapped in two! 😳

A fantasy fan's dream castle come true: Burg Eltz, in the lander of Rhineland-Palatinate, which I had the pleasure of visiting this week 🙂

Gustave Eiffel's ancestors came from the Eifel region, in Germany, around 1700, and more precisely from the town of Marmagen, which we had the pleasure of visiting this week 🙂

Bon anniversaire !

Enjoyed a great performance from #KenshiYonezu tonight at the Zenith in Paris - all the more enjoyable when one knows how difficult it is to get tickets for his concerts in Japan 🙂

Happy birthday to the ever beautiful Eiffel Tower. Exactly 136 years ago today, Gustave Eiffel climbed the 1710 steps of the monument and raised a giant French flag on top to mark its completion. I wish I could have witnessed it with my own eyes! 😊

Small correction the exhibition is held at the "alliance française" not "institute" 🙂

My exhibition "Eiffel - Toujours plus haut", on the many battles my ancestor Gustave Eiffel had to fight to build his famous tower, will be touring Colombia in 2025, starting with the Bogota French Institute where it just opened 🙂

C’est avec émotion que j’apprends la disparition de Patricia Lyfoung, autrice de la bande dessinée « Rose Ecarlate », ici en 2000, collaborant à un film d'animation de Sav! The World Productions. Nous avions prévu l'année dernière de nous revoir prochainement. C’est trop injuste 😥

Eerie chimeras from the roof of the newly restored Notre-Dame cathedral I pictured this week. Did you know that unlike their gargoyle counterparts they were only added in the 19th century? 🙂

Sharing a pic of the wonderfully tasty Osechi - the typical Japanese new year's dish - my wife prepared for us today 🙂

Happy new year!
Bonne année !

It was a pleasure to give great Japanese actor Koji Yakusho a friendly tour of the Eiffel Tower earlier this week. Since I discovered his work in Tampopo, and later in Unagi and many more, I’ve always been a great fan of his 😊

Reiko Kruk et son ami Koji Yakusho répondant au public aprés la projection du spectacle filmé des "Libellules Rouges" à la Maison du Japon aujourd'hui. L'auteur y lit son texte accompagné d'un orchestre. Voyez-le, c'est très beau et très émouvant! 😢

Merci à Nippon TV d’avoir également relayé notre opposition au maintien permanent - ou inutilement prolongé après 2024 - des anneaux Olympiques sur la #TourEiffel ! 🙂

パリ市長、エッフェル塔の五輪マーク「2028年まで残す」　塔設計者の子孫は設置継続に反対｜日テレNEWS NNN

フランス・パリのイダルゴ市長は6日、パリオリンピック開催に合わせてエッフェル塔に掲げられたオリンピックのマークを、「2028年まで残す」と発言しました。ただ、エッフェル塔の設計者の子孫らが反対するなど計画は波紋を広げています。

The decision to maintain the 2024 Olympic rings on the #EiffelTower continues to stir controversy (see my CNN interview here: t.co/TgLF7PZMy0)
As a descendant, I think it was great during the games but am against keeping them there permanently.

Je suis bien d accord. C est une vrai et lourde question.

Savin Yeatman-Eiffel @eiffelsavin.bsky.social · Sep 2

Opposé au maintien permanent des anneaux Olympiques sur la #tourEiffel. C'était merveilleux pendant les jeux mais la tour doit pouvoir retrouver son aspect original & servir temporairement d'autres grandes causes à l'avenir!

Anneaux olympiques sur la tour Eiffel: ce descendant de Gustave Eiffel s'oppose à leur installation définitive

Anne Hidalgo a annoncé que les anneaux olympiques installés sur la tour Eiffel allaient rester sur le monument, après la fin des Paralympiques. Une décision qui divise et ne plaît pas aux descendants ...
