Thunberg told the BBC there was a "moral obligation to act" and speak out against Israel's military operation in Gaza.

Le Gratin Mondain is a guest house in Noyers-sur-Serein, one of the most beautiful villages of France.
Noyers has retained much of its medieval appearance. Its heritage is not based on exceptional monuments, but on the unity of the various buildings, most of which were constructed between the 15th and 16th centuries, either within the fortified enclosure of the Bourg located in the meander of the Serein, or on either side of the causeway leading to the faubourg.
From the ancient fortifications of the medieval town, several fortified gates leading to the village and the ramparts remain, with 19 towers (out of the original 23).
