Le Pré St. Gervais
Picture taken in the North-East side of Paris. Curious about the 'ville internet' label - anybody heard about this label?

La Petite Ceinture, Paris (abandoned railway, pics taken near Parc des Buttes-Chaumont)
Old sretch of the Petite Ceinture running past Parc des Buttes-Chaumont in Paris. The line used to circle the whole city before it shut down, with a tramway and bus service partially replacing it (there's even a bus called PC : petite ceinture).
Also spotted this plaque on the bridge: it says French Resistance fighters captured a German train right under here on 23 August 1944, during the Liberation of Paris.

What do Irish people think about institutions still labelled 'Royal'?
Honest question, been asked on Reddit before but I couldn't find a satisfying answer, so why do so many Irish institutions still have "Royal" in their names?
I'm not Irish but I've lived here 4 years and I've tried to engage with the culture, even doing Irish classes (still rubbish at it, haha, but truly doing my best).
The more I read about history, the weirder it feels that names like the Royal Irish Academy stayed. Do these institutions themselves seem comfortable with the label, or is it just inertia at this point? What do Irish people actually think about it?
I notice France has similar contradictions with Soviet-era names that stuck around (Stalingrad, Avenue Staline, etc.), not sure if it's the same logic...
Go raibh maith agaibh!

Another question on traveling to Lviv...
Hi, everyone,
I know this kind of questions gets asked often, but there are several Redddit threads on the matter and I'm just looking for the most recent information on the topic... Apologies about this!
I am an EU citizen and need to travel to Lviv in the second half of June 2026 (mentioning this as I unfortunately have no experience with current travel to Ukraine; last time I went to visit was in 2019...).
I have already booked plane tickets to and from Warsaw and am considering travelling by train via Rava-Ruska as some people on Reddit indicate it's one of the best options.
I understand train tickets are only open for sale on the Ukrainian railway site 20 days in advance and from what I can see the price would be around 45 euros for one trip (so 90 in total).
However, I can see that I can already book the tickets on the Polish railway site for around 65 euros (130 total).
Should I wait for the sale to open or is there a real risk that if I do not manage to connect in the first few hours I might actually lose my chance booking the tickets?
Or should I consider Flixbus? I've read that this might be ok going to Ukraine, but returning to Poland could take a very long time on my way back.
I am a student so am currently trying to balance budget and time if that makes sense...
Thank you very much in advance for your help and have a lovely day!
