Brittany Chang/InsiderThe first Camp Margaritaville RV resort — which focuses on "upscale camping" — opened in Georgia in 2019 as a "surprise" hit, Jim Wiseman, the president of development at Camp Margaritaville, told Insider in 2021. To create this floating Margaritaville hotel, the brand refurbished the over 30-year-old flagship vessel of budget cruise line Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line, which has since rebranded to Margaritaville at Sea.

Sursa foto: APFranţa va trimite Statelor Unite o a doua statuie a LibertăţiiLa 135 de ani de la inaugurarea primei Statui a Libertăţii, o nouă Miss Liberty va sosi pe 4 iulie la New York, în SUA pentru sărbătoarea naţională, conform Le Journal du dimanche. A doua Miss Liberty va fi instalată în grădina ambasadorului francez şi va rămâne zece ani în Statele Unite, precizează Le Point. Franţa a decis să ofere a doua Statuie a Libertăţii "pentru a aduce omagiu tuturor celor care au permis, de cele două părţi ale Atlanticului, au făcut posibilă edificarea statuii şi care s-au luptat pentru ceea ce simbolizează ea în lumea întreagă". Această a doua statuie va rămâne zece ani în SUA, perioada de împrumut consimţită de Conservatorul din Quai d'Orsay, apoi va reveni în Franţa. Prima Statuie a Libertăţii de aproape 93 de metri înălţime a fost concepută de Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, proiectată de Gustave Eiffel şi sculptată de Auguste Bartholdi.

Astfel, Franța a decis să ofere o a doua Statuie a Libertății „pentru a aduce un omagiu tuturor celor care, de ambele părți ale Atlanticului, au făcut posibilă construirea Statuii Libertății și care au luptat pentru ceea ce simbolizează ea în întreaga lume”. Această a doua statuie va rămâne în Statele Unite timp de zece ani, perioadă a împrumutului acordat de Conservatorul din Quai d'Orsay, apoi va reveni în Franța. Această a doua Lady Liberty este una dintre replicile pariziene ale faimoasei Statui a Libertății. Prima Statuie a Libertății, de aproape 93 de metri înălțime, a fost concepută de Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, proiectată de Gustave Eiffel și sculptată de Auguste Bartholdi. A fost oferită pentru a sărbători centenarul declarației de independență a Statelor Unite, deși nu a fost inaugurată decât zece ani mai târziu, în 1886.
