EDITORS COMMENTS
Place Amiral Senes, Toulon, France: A Timeless Gathering Nestled in the heart of Toulon, France, Place Amiral Senes is a picturesque square named in honor of Victor Baptistin Senes (1857-1915), a distinguished French naval officer and admiral. Senes' illustrious career came to an end tragically when the armored cruiser under his command, the Dupuy de Lôme, was sunk by the Austro-Hungarian submarine U-5 off the coast of Cape Santa Maria di Leuca, Italy, during World War I. This evocative photograph, taken circa 1910s, captures the essence of Place Amiral Senes as a vibrant and bustling hub of activity. The square is framed by elegant buildings, their facades adorned with intricate details and warm hues. A kiosk and a few stalls occupy the center, offering a variety of goods and services to the local community and visitors alike. The scene is filled with the sounds of lively conversation, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the gentle clatter of horse-drawn carriages passing by. As the sun casts a warm glow over the square, the shadows of the passersby dance on the cobblestone pavement. The people of Toulon gather here, drawn by the charm of the place and the sense of history that surrounds it. The legacy of Admiral Senes lives on, not only in the name of the square but also in the spirit of community and resilience that continues to thrive in this beautiful corner of France.
