Paris “The city of lights” 10Days -9 Nights (09 nts Paris) A few words about the destination… On the banks of the river Seine in northern France, Paris attracts 42 million visitors a year, making it the most visited city in the world. Beginning at the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs- arranged in the Petit parc (185 acres), the extensive Grand Parc provides opportunities for pleasant strolls or long walks. Free time for coffee or snack After your break your guide will take you to the Petit Trianon, a small chateau in the grounds of Versailles used by Marie Antoinette for festivities and to escape the overwhelming court etiquette. We will also discover the Queen’s Hamlet, a stylised Norman village and farm built for Marie Antoinette where she retreated with her closest friends to enjoy an intimately rustic life. Completed just a few years before the Revolution, the Hamlet remains a testiment to the Queen’s desire for a simpler life over the cold marble vaults of the main palace. Back to Paris and drop off at your hotel. For the night we suggest to watch the unique cabaret review show at the Moulin Rouge in Montmartre. The Moulin Rouge is known all over the world for its famous French cancan and has been performing its legendary review shows for 120 years. The current review, entitled "Fairy", includes Day 5 Paris – Normandy D-Day .

Co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Musée du Louvre, Paris, Cast in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution is the first comprehensive exhibition to examine the art of the French bronze sculpture from the Renaissance until the end of the ancien régime, and the result of more than three decades of collaborative scholarship by the French Bronze Study Group.

André Le Nôtre In Perspective 1613-2013 Until 23 February 2014 F Activity O R booklet C H I LD REN The most famous gardener in History Who was André Le Nôtre? The exhibition at the Palace of Versailles, which brings the celebrations dedicated to Le Nôtre to a close, shows the genius of this incredible creator who is famous for designing the estate of Versailles. Born into a family of royal gardeners at the Tuileries in Paris in 1613, André Le Nôtre took over from his father brilliantly, first working for Louis XIII and then becoming indispensable to Louis XIV. Gardener, designer, architect and visionary landscaper, his name is inextricably linked with French formal gardens. Through his many large-scale accomplishments, including those at Vaux-le-Vicomte, Sceaux, Saint-Cloud and Chantilly — not to mention his creations in Europe —, he has left an imposing body of work, making his mark right up to the present day. –2– e Room 1 f vThe gardener and art collector Not only was he a gardener, he was also an art lover! Having trained under Simon Vouet, first painter to King Louis XIII, Le Nôtre was one of the era's most important collectors — as illustrated here in the re-creation of his collection room. Master paintings, sculptures inspired by mythology, rare medals: the guides written for rich travellers of the day already indicated that his collection was In the Le Nôtre collection: a painting by Nicolas Poussin exceptional. When at the Saint John Baptising the People, age of 80, he retired from and a sculpture by Ferdinando his functions as gardener Tacca Apollo and Daphne.

Episodic Breakdown
Beautiful Planet Shorts 112 x 13 MINUTES EPISODIC BREAKDOWN 1. AUSTRIA Hallstatt-Dachstein Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape Due to its network of caves the Dachstein Mountains are far more than just the typical karst covered mountains of the Austrian Alps. Human activity in the magnificent natural landscape began in prehistoric times with the salt deposits being exploited as early as the 2nd millennium BC. 2. AUSTRIA Palace and Gardens of Schonbrunn Schönbrunn was the residence of the Habsburg emperors and is full of outstanding examples of decorative art. Together with its gardens, it is a remarkable Baroque ensemble and a perfect example of Gesamtkunstwerk. 3. FRANCE Historic Fortified City of Cascarsonne The walled city of Carcassonne is known first and foremost as a fortified medieval town; but this rocky outcrop has been inhabited by humans since the 6th century B.C. Fortification works lasted until the end of the 13th century, with the construction of the outer wall and the modernization of the inner rampart, turning this town in an impregnable fortress. 4. BELGIUM Flemish Beguinage Beguinages were home to generations of religious women who sought to live a more independent life than that of women who married against their will. They made their homes, assisted the sick and poor, and sought to serve God without separating themselves from the rest of the world. The Flemish béguinages are architectural ensembles composed of houses, churches, ancillary buildings and green spaces, with a layout of either urban or rural origin and built in styles specific to the Flemish cultural region. 5. BELGIUM Grand-Place, Brussels Known as the Capital of Europe, Brussels’ unique character comes from the coexistence of French and Flemish culture.

Treasures of the Kings: 18th Century French Interiors in Miniature highlights Louis XV and Louis XVI royal furniture arranged in two room settings from the Palace of Versailles and one from the Palace of Fontainebleau. The centerpiece of the collection is Denis Hillman’s Bureau du Roi. The works are on long-term loan from Ede & Ravenscroft, the oldest tailor in London and the exclusive provider of robes for the British Royal Family. One of the most gifted fine-scale miniature artists of the 20th century movement, Denis Hillman was commissioned by Chairman Michael Middleton to craft a collection of French furniture in celebration of the company’s 300th anniversary as Purveyors of Royal Robes to the Crown. King Louis XV commissioned the Bureau du Roi (King’s desk) in 1760. Hillman’s version includes all the luxuriousness of the original. Taking over four years to complete, the desk is comprised of over 16,000 individual pieces of fruitwood in seven marquetry designs representing the king’s love for art, music, literature, astronomy, and mathematics, and his command of land and sea. The desk can be unlocked with a key that simultaneously opens the cylinder top and all of the drawers, including the secret compartments.

Countering Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods F
Countering Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods F. Desmarais (Ed.) Desmarais F. The Global Challenge of Protecting the World’s Heritage Cultural objects disappear every day, whether stolen from a museum or removed from an archaeological site, to embark on the well-beaten track of illicit antiquities. A track we have yet to map clearly. The need to understand that journey, to establish the routes, to identify the culprits, and to ultimately locate these sought-after objects, gave rise to the launch of the first International Observatory on Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). This transdisciplinary publication concludes the initial phase of the Observatory project, by providing articles signed by researchers and academics, museum and heritage professionals, archaeologists, legal advisors, curators, and journalists. It includes case studies on looting in specific countries, with the primary aim of eliciting the nature of the antiquities trade, the sources of the traffic, and solutions at hand. Countering Illicit Traffic in in Cultural Goods Illicit Traffic Countering With the financial support of the Prevention and Fight against Crime Programme, European Commission Directorate-General Home Affairs Countering Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods The Global Challenge of Protecting the World’s Heritage Edited by France Desmarais This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

Next page - The current conditions of the Imperial Imperial Prince's Prince’s frigate. © Sophie Lloyd frigate! Water reigns supreme at Fontainebleau. Excavated beginning in the Middle Ages, the Carp Pond is the most beautiful body of water at the King of France’s castle. Created after a dam was built to allow access to the castle from the south, the Carp Pond was built to drain and store water form the Changis creek and from the numerous other natural springs that feed the swamps. Before long the Carp Pond became a swimming hole, a place for fishing and rowing and soon it became one of the most popular attractions on the castle grounds. The area was frequently chosen for lavish parties like the one held in 1544 for the baptism of the future king Francis II or the one held for Carnival in 1564. Small boats have been used on the pond since the XVI century. On March 20, 1538 it was decreed to reinforce the eastern banks up to the docking area. Louis XIII and Louis XIV had a gilded gondola that they used for relaxing on the water and for sailing to the pavilion built almost in the centre of the pond. Napoleon and Louis Philippe also kept small boats on the pond. In 1808 the city of Nantes even offered a small yacht to the Emperor.
