It is not you who teach the age but the age which instructs you:
Venus knew how to love without your verses.
God made our natures full of love;
Nature teaches us what God taught her.
What we are is a crime, if it is a crime to love,
For the God who made me live made me love.
By Baudri of Bourgueil (1046-1130), abbot and archbishop who wrote many erotic poems to other men. Translated by John Boswell in Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality (1980).
published in Les ouevres poétiques de Baudri de Bourgueil, ed. Phyllis Abrahams (Paris, 1926).
#ok this one got to me. we have always existed and we have always maintained God made us and our love.#my quotes

Porté par une élégante rénovation du nouveau propriétaire et une quatrième étoile accrochée à son fronton, le château de Saulon capitalise sur sa puissance réceptive : touriste comme entreprise, chacun est le bienvenu dans ce point de ralliement entre métropole et grands crus.
Par Alexis Cappellaro
Pour Dijon-Beaune Mag 72
Né en 1372, entièrement rénové 500 ans plus tard, à nouveau repensé en mars dernier, il aurait pu ressembler à une bête étrange, sorte de mélange des genres malvenu. Le château de Saulon-la-Rue n’a rien de tout cela. Après d’importants travaux placés sous l’expertise du groupe Rinck, il dévoile une image sobre et harmonieuse, aux couleurs très engageantes, sans être bourgeoisement ridicule. L’ensemblier-décorateur, dont le savoir-faire remonte à 1841 et est reconnu par le label Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, a donné le meilleur de ce qu’il sait faire.
Stéphanie Billet est naturellement de cet avis. Présente tout au long des travaux en mars dernier, la responsable adjointe des lieux a vécu au plus près cette mutation nécessaire à la quatrième étoile. La distinction, arrivée quasiment dans la foulée, est légitime au regard des efforts consentis. Elle ne change pas pour autant « le savoir-être de chacun ; nos collaborateurs, une quarantaine au total, conservent la même attitude, en adoptant simplement une exigence encore plus soutenue, sans se départir du sens de l’accueil bourguignon qui nous caractérise ». Voilà qui est dit et bien dit. Stéphanie, qui a passé quinze ans de sa vie professionnelle auprès de la famille Frachot (à la bonne école, donc) espère capitaliser sur cette nouveauté pour faire de Saulon « l’évident point de ralliement » entre les vignes de la Côte et les pierres dijonnaises, chacune distante d’une dizaine de minutes.
Aussi pour les pros
Alexandra Degoix est aussi sensible à cet argument. La responsable commerciale, particulièrement active en ce qui concerne les séminaires, est revenue d’un congé maternité juste après les travaux. Elle a fait le constat heureux de son « nouveau cadre de travail », au sein duquel les trois salles de conférences sont désormais des lieux stratégiques au même titre que la piscine chauffée ou les 32 chambres tout confort. Le château « a investi dans ce domaine, avec notamment le prêt d’un big pad (ndlr, immense écran interactif tactile, très prisé des conférenciers 2.0) pour le tester auprès des entreprises en séminaires. D’autres avantages sont plus structurels, comme la lumière naturelle, toujours propice à une communication agréable, ainsi que notre capacité d’accueil pour la partie séminaires, autour de 120 personnes ». Les entreprises du quart nord-est de la France sont généralement très à l’écoute des charmes bourguignons, tout comme à Paris. Et si faire « monter » le Lyonnais est à l’inverse une véritable bataille, personne ne désespère. Ce n’est pas le genre de la maison.
Stéphanie Billet (adjointe de direction) et Alexandra Degoix (responsable commerciale) entourent Christian Baudry, le directeur de l’établissement. Cet efficace trio le garantit : ici, « chacun est logé à la même enseigne ».
Les atouts ne manquent pas : 27 hectares de parc, un terrain de tennis, des possibilités de visite touristique en pagaille, un restaurant de haut niveau… « Il arrive souvent qu’un client de séminaire reparte avec notre plaquette et promette de revenir en famille », se satisfait Alexandra, pour qui l’enjeu est aussi de faire cohabiter, en toute simplicité, le touriste venu se prélasser et l’homme d’affaires concentré sur son excédent brut d’exploitation.
Vers une autre étoile
« Loin de l’image faussée d’une usine à mariages ou séminaires, chacun est logé à la même enseigne, dans une ambiance sereine de grande demeure familiale », estime Stéphanie Billet, avant de glisser au passage qu’une huitaine de chambres supplémentaires, dans une dépendance extérieure, seront aménagées d’ici 2019. On ne lui donne pas tort. Le jour de notre venue, sous le soleil généreux d’une fin d’été, le calme était remarquable.
En haut de l’organigramme, le sémillant directeur Christian Baudry assure sans fébrilité la bonne marche de l’établissement. Avec ces nouveaux atouts, il croit fort en la consécration du jeune chef Mohamed Henni, arrivé en juin après un passage remarqué au Clair de la Plume, étoilé à Grignan, dans la Drôme. Sur la base d’un circuit raccourci (les vergers du château donnent bien des envies gourmandes) et d’une cuisine maîtrisée où les prix sont doux (menu de 20 à 75 euros), le macaron Michelin est un objectif raisonnable. La carte des vins, aussi, fait autorité. Elle est l’héritage palpable de ses anciens propriétaires, Lionnel et Didier Petitcolas, dont les compétences en la matière sont reconnues. C’est aussi la force du nouveau château de Saulon : il n’oublie pas son histoire, se nourrit des énergies de la ville et de la Côte, assume sa mission de promoteur touristique. Le tout avec une discrétion qui fait du bien. Ceux qui y travaillent au quotidien savent sans doute qu’il ne sont pas n’importe où, ici, entre métropole et grands crus.

Numbers of Crusaders were overwhelming
Kilidji Arslan had left his family within the besieged city. The sultan himself had remained outside to harass the besiegers. The neighboring hills enabled him to do this with safety to himself, but with terrible loss to the besiegers. After a siege of six or seven weeks it became evident that the numbers of Crusaders were overwhelming. The city was attacked on three sides. The enthusiasm of the besiegers was fired by the renown of Nicaea, the birthplace of their creed.
The sultan soon found that he had an enemy to deal with far different from the undisciplined hordes which Peter the Hermit had accompanied. The religious zeal of the Crusaders was at its best. Priests went daily through the host, urging the warriors to obedience, to prayer, and to courage. “ This mass of warriors,” says Baudri, “ was the image of the Church of God, and Solomon could have said on seeing them, ‘IIow beautiful art thou, O my well beloved! how like to a tabernacle of cedar!’ ”
Attacked with equal fury
“ The two armies,” says wittier of Matthew of Edessa, “ attacked with equal fury; the horses shrank from the clash of arms, from the whizzing of arrows; the plain was covered with javelins and the debris of war.” As the siege progressed both parties became more bitter in their hostility. The Crusaders imitated the Moslems in barbarism. Christian knights cut off the heads of their enemies, and tied them to their saddles. A thousand of these heads were hurled by the besieging machinery of the Crusaders into the city. Another thousand were sent as a trophy to Alexis in Constantinople. On the other side, the besieged threw down boiling oil on the besiegers, and defeated many attempts made to destroy the walls. The breaches made during the day were repaired during the night.
To prevent the Turks from receiving provisions by the lake, the Crusaders, in the seventh week of the siege, transported a considerable number of boats overland from Civitot, the modern Guemlik, into the lake tours bulgaria. The besieged were at once astonished and discouraged by this manoeuvre, while the besiegers pressed on the siege with renewed vigor. Xo part of the walls was left unassailed. A breach was at length effected, and one of the strongest towers was undermined and fell. The day after, the wife of the sultan, with her two children, in endeavoring to escape by the lake, fell into the hands of the Christians. On every side were indications that the city must shortly surrender. The surprise of the Crusaders was therefore great when, one morning at dawn, they saw the standard of Alexis, the Emperor of Rome, flying triumphantly above the walls.
Alexis
The first thought among the soldiers of the Cross was that they had been betrayed ; but the better informed among them were aware that Alexis had come upon the invitation of their own leaders. He had been asked to send his own troops to take possession of the city in order that the Crusaders might be left free to pursue their march towards the Holy Land, and might not be exposed to the delay and demoralization of plundering a hostile city. They were not there to plunder imperial cities, but to fight the infidel. Alexis had reached the, city on its water side by taking his boats overland from the Gulf of Moudania into the lake.
The loss of the Crusaders is put down at 13,000 men, that of the Turks at 200,000. When the victorious army began its advance into the country its troubles recommenced, and the men of the West learned by experience with what an obstinate enemy the empire had had to contend. Stragglers from the army were cut off; and before it advanced one tenth of the distance to Antioch it was met by the sultan at Doryleon.
After a battle obstinately fought on both sides, the Crusaders were again victorious, and the sultan had to beat a hasty retreat, in order to seek the aid of his fellow-countrymen in the east of the kingdom of Houm. Had the emperor been in a position to have followed up the victory of the Crusaders, Asia Minor might again, with the aid of this great army from the West, have been replaced under the rule of Constantinople.

Numbers of Crusaders were overwhelming
Kilidji Arslan had left his family within the besieged city. The sultan himself had remained outside to harass the besiegers. The neighboring hills enabled him to do this with safety to himself, but with terrible loss to the besiegers. After a siege of six or seven weeks it became evident that the numbers of Crusaders were overwhelming. The city was attacked on three sides. The enthusiasm of the besiegers was fired by the renown of Nicaea, the birthplace of their creed.
The sultan soon found that he had an enemy to deal with far different from the undisciplined hordes which Peter the Hermit had accompanied. The religious zeal of the Crusaders was at its best. Priests went daily through the host, urging the warriors to obedience, to prayer, and to courage. “ This mass of warriors,” says Baudri, “ was the image of the Church of God, and Solomon could have said on seeing them, ‘IIow beautiful art thou, O my well beloved! how like to a tabernacle of cedar!’ ”
Attacked with equal fury
“ The two armies,” says wittier of Matthew of Edessa, “ attacked with equal fury; the horses shrank from the clash of arms, from the whizzing of arrows; the plain was covered with javelins and the debris of war.” As the siege progressed both parties became more bitter in their hostility. The Crusaders imitated the Moslems in barbarism. Christian knights cut off the heads of their enemies, and tied them to their saddles. A thousand of these heads were hurled by the besieging machinery of the Crusaders into the city. Another thousand were sent as a trophy to Alexis in Constantinople. On the other side, the besieged threw down boiling oil on the besiegers, and defeated many attempts made to destroy the walls. The breaches made during the day were repaired during the night.
To prevent the Turks from receiving provisions by the lake, the Crusaders, in the seventh week of the siege, transported a considerable number of boats overland from Civitot, the modern Guemlik, into the lake tours bulgaria. The besieged were at once astonished and discouraged by this manoeuvre, while the besiegers pressed on the siege with renewed vigor. Xo part of the walls was left unassailed. A breach was at length effected, and one of the strongest towers was undermined and fell. The day after, the wife of the sultan, with her two children, in endeavoring to escape by the lake, fell into the hands of the Christians. On every side were indications that the city must shortly surrender. The surprise of the Crusaders was therefore great when, one morning at dawn, they saw the standard of Alexis, the Emperor of Rome, flying triumphantly above the walls.
Alexis
The first thought among the soldiers of the Cross was that they had been betrayed ; but the better informed among them were aware that Alexis had come upon the invitation of their own leaders. He had been asked to send his own troops to take possession of the city in order that the Crusaders might be left free to pursue their march towards the Holy Land, and might not be exposed to the delay and demoralization of plundering a hostile city. They were not there to plunder imperial cities, but to fight the infidel. Alexis had reached the, city on its water side by taking his boats overland from the Gulf of Moudania into the lake.
The loss of the Crusaders is put down at 13,000 men, that of the Turks at 200,000. When the victorious army began its advance into the country its troubles recommenced, and the men of the West learned by experience with what an obstinate enemy the empire had had to contend. Stragglers from the army were cut off; and before it advanced one tenth of the distance to Antioch it was met by the sultan at Doryleon.
After a battle obstinately fought on both sides, the Crusaders were again victorious, and the sultan had to beat a hasty retreat, in order to seek the aid of his fellow-countrymen in the east of the kingdom of Houm. Had the emperor been in a position to have followed up the victory of the Crusaders, Asia Minor might again, with the aid of this great army from the West, have been replaced under the rule of Constantinople.
