After collecting your luggage and passing through customs, you’ll transfer into the city, usually by train. On evening one, there’s a short time for resting and refreshing at the hotel before heading out into the city for dinner and some sightseeing. You will ascend the 58-story Tour Montparnasse for the best views of Paris as the sun goes down and the lights come on in the city. Sunday, March 23rd– You’ll visit the Royal Palace of Versailles, just outside of Paris. In addition to touring the palace itself, you’ll want to visit the gardens, since Sunday is the only day the world-famous fountains are turned on. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Grand and Petit Trianon, small palaces built by the king on the grounds of Versailles in order to escape the pressures of palace life. Also not to be missed is the village-like hameau of Marie Antoinette. Later, you’ll head back to Paris for dinner and a visit to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica in Montmartre, the bohemian quarter of Paris. In Montmartre, you’ll also visit the Place du Tertre, where an artist will paint your portrait for a price.

    With a combination of highly-frequented tourist areas and some hidden treasures, Paris is an accessible city, appreciated for its charm and pleasurable way of life. Easy to get around, the city has a user-friendly public transport infrastructure covering the whole of the capital, with an underground and bus network in constant development. A more unusual way to discover the city in style is to hire a chauffeured limousine or to have a very French tour of Paris in a 2CV, the famous Citroën convertible … Mixing transport with culture, many companies provide regular tours in Paris and in the Paris region. The River Seine constitutes an original route through Paris … and is certainly an excellent way to enjoy delightful views of the very heart of the city. Finally, incoming agencies are also an invaluable aid in helping to organize bespoke tours. They have specialist knowledge of the Paris destination and the specific characteristics of the nationalities visiting the French capital. Their expertise and resources enable them to organize all events, transport and programmes for individuals and/or groups as well as excursions, visits and other activities.

  • Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission

    Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission

    Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission 1 Introduction ‘The Thames Wunderkammer: Tales from Victoria Embankment in Two Parts’, 2017, by Simon Roberts, commissioned by Tideway This is a temporary commission located on the Thames Tideway Tunnel construction site hoardings at Victoria Embankment, 2017-19. Responding to the rich heritage of the Victoria Embankment, Simon Roberts has created a metaphorical ‘cabinet of curiosities’ along two 25- metre foreshore hoardings. Roberts describes his approach as an ‘aesthetic excavation of the area’, creating an artwork that reflects the literal and metaphorical layering of the landscape, in which objects from the past and present are juxtaposed to evoke new meanings. Monumental statues are placed alongside items that are more ordinary; diverse elements, both man-made and natural, co-exist in new ways. All these components symbolise the landscape’s complex history, culture, geology, and development.

He predominantly takes large format photographs with great technical precision, frequently from elevated positions.
