PARIS HÔTEL PLAZA ATHÉNÉE Two Day Itinerary: Nearby Well Deserving of Its Moniker, the City of Light Is As Beautiful by Day As It Is When Illuminated at Night PARIS HÔTEL PLAZA ATHÉNÉE Two day itinerary: Nearby Well deserving of its moniker, The City of Light is as beautiful by day as it is when illuminated at night. This is a city where hours can easily be spent wandering amongst the cobbled streets, taking in the heady mix of art, music, food and culture. No matter what you seek, with this two-day itinerary you’ll never be far from the best attractions Paris has to offer. Day One Start the day with a jog or a walk around the Parc du Champ-de-Mars, 15 minutes’ walk to the Quai Branly end. PARC DU CHAMP-DE-MARS Quai Branly – Place Joffre, 75007 Paris A swathe of green in the heart of the city, the Champ-de-Mars is a sprawling, rectangular park stretching from the Eiffel Tower at its northern edge to the École Militaire at its southern. A jog through the greenery offers up uniquely Parisian views (and an opportunity to burn off those Parisian pastries, too). Then, head back to the hotel to freshen up, before taking a 10-minute walk to the Marché Président Wilson. MARCHÉ PRÉSIDENT WILSON Avenue du Président Wilson, 75016 Paris Held every Wednesday and Saturday, this sprawling open-air food market is one of the largest in Paris, and the fare on offer is as fresh as it is eclectic. Fresh lobster from Brittany, roses, artisan cheeses and escargots – amongst a number of other treats – all vie for the attention of local shoppers. From the market, Le Petit Palais is 20 minutes away on foot or five minutes by taxi. LE PETIT PALAIS T: 01 53 43 40 00 | Avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 Paris Constructed in 1900 to coincide with the Exposition Universelle (World Fair), the decadent Petit Palais is today one of the city’s most intriguing museums. Set across four wings, the fine art museum offers decorative murals, sculptures, and works from Monet and Toulouse-Lautrec. Avenue Montaigne is then a 10-minute walk from the museum. The Dorchester, London | 45 Park Lane, London | Coworth Park, Ascot | Le Meurice, Paris | Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan | Hotel Eden, Rome | The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills | Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles | Dubai (opening 2020) AVENUE MONTAIGNE 75008 Paris The luxurious Avenue Montaigne is ideal for an afternoon of browsing, thanks to its many high- fashion jewellery and designer boutiques. Stop for lunch and a coffee at one of the area’s picturesque cafes and indulge in some people watching before continuing with your shopping – window or otherwise. Then continue your walk along the Avenue Montaigne to get to Dior. DIOR, MONTAIGNE T: 01 45 63 12 51 | 30-32 Avenue Montaigne, 75008 Paris The Christian Dior flagship store on Avenue Montaigne is a classically elegant affair. The first boutique opened by the French design icon, the beautiful townhouse stocks the latest looks from Dior. A visit here is as much a lesson in couture history as it is a luxury retail experience. From Christian Dior, the hotel is two minutes’ walk away. Day two Start the day at Barthélémy, a 15-minute drive from the hotel. BARTHÉLÉMY T: 01 42 22 82 24 | 51 Rue de Grenelle, 75007 Paris Nicole Barthélémy’s old-fashioned luxury fromagerie features marble cupboards, pretty tiled floors and shelves crammed with every kind of cheese imaginable. A favourite with the locals (and rumoured to supply cheese boards to the French president), this tiny Saint-Germain boutique specialises in a superb Fontainebleu, made fresh instore each day. The staff will happily vacuum- pack any purchases for easy transport home. Then, take a taxi for the 15-minute journey to Avenue Matignon. AVENUE MATIGNON 75008 Paris Nestled in the eighth arrondissement, elegant Avenue Matignon plays host to some of the city’s most venerable art galleries, cultural institutes and antique shops. Auction house Christie’s Paris, and appointment-only contemporary art gallery Matignon Jany Jansem, are two addresses that can be found here, making this most elegant of thoroughfares a treat for both browsers and buyers. Next, take a 10-minute walk to the Musée Jacquemart-André. The Dorchester, London | 45 Park Lane, London | Coworth Park, Ascot | Le Meurice, Paris | Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan | Hotel Eden, Rome | The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills | Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles | Dubai (opening 2020) MUSÉE JACQUEMART-ANDRÉ T: 01 45 62 11 59 | 158 Boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris This 19th century mansion is now an art museum – housing its former inhabitants’ impressive art collection – and has been open to the public since 1913. An afternoon spent here will afford visitors a glimpse into the gilded lives of art collectors and society figures, Edouard André and Nélie Jacquemart – not to mention the building’s opulent interior. Then, walk for 10 minutes to Ladurée on the Champs Elysées. LADURÉE T: 01 40 75 08 75 | 75 Avenue des Champs Elysées, 75008 Paris Don’t be deterred by the ever-present queues outside this French pastry institution; they are fast-moving and provide the opportunity to gaze upon the rows of colourful confections. Patrons flock here for the famous macarons, which come in a range of flavours (think rose, pistachio, and coffee), and look as lovely as they taste. The final stop of the day is the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, 10 minutes’ walk from Ladurée. THÉÂTRE DES CHAMPS-ELYSÉES T: 01 49 52 50 50 | 15 Avenue Montaigne, 75008 Paris The Théâtre des Champs-Elysées has been a beacon of the performing arts in Paris since it threw open its grand doors in 1913. Over the past century, the theatre has played host to innumerable performances of music, opera and dance, with everyone from Leonard Bernstein to Maria Callas gracing the stage. Get here before the performance begins and enjoy a drink in the bar while admiring the theatre’s beautiful interiors. The hotel is then one minute’s walk from the theatre. All journey times are approximate and subject to variation. The Dorchester, London | 45 Park Lane, London | Coworth Park, Ascot | Le Meurice, Paris | Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan | Hotel Eden, Rome | The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills | Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles | Dubai (opening 2020).

  • CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL from the Arc De Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens
    CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL From the Arc de Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens Don’t leave Paris without experiencing the avenue des Champs-Elysées (shahnz ay-lee-zay). This is Paris at its most Parisian: monumental side- walks, stylish shops, grand cafés, and glimmering showrooms. This tour covers about three miles. If that seems like too much for you, break it down into several different outings (taxis roll down the Champs-Elysées frequently and Métro stops are located every 3 blocks). Take your time and enjoy. It’s a great roll or stroll day or night. The tour begins at the top of the Champs-Elysées, across a huge traffic circle from the famous Arc de Triomphe. Note that getting to the arch itself, and access within the arch, are extremely challenging for travelers with limited mobility. I suggest simply viewing the arch from across the street (described below). If you are able, and you wish to visit the arch, here’s the informa- tion: The arch is connected to the top of the Champs-Elysées via an underground walkway (twenty-five 6” steps down and thirty 6” steps back up). To reach this passageway, take the Métro to the not-acces- sible Charles de Gaulle Etoile station and follow sortie #1, Champs- Elysées/Arc de Triomphe signs. You can take an elevator only partway up the inside of the arch, to a museum with some city views. To reach the best views at the very top, you must climb the last 46 stairs. For more, see the listing on page *TK.

  • Syllabus Paris
    Institut de Langue et de Culture Française Spring Semester 2017 Paris, World Arts Capital PE Perrier de La Bâthie / [email protected] Paris, World Capital of Arts and Architecture From the 17th through the 20th centuries Since the reign of Louis XIV until the mid-20th century, Paris had held the role of World Capital of Arts. For three centuries, the City of Light was the place of the most audacious and innovative artistic advances, focusing on itself the attention of the whole world. This survey course offers students a wide panorama on the evolution of arts and architecture in France and more particularly in Paris, from the beginning of the 17th century to nowadays. The streets of the French capital still preserve the tracks of its glorious history through its buildings, its town planning and its great collections of painting, sculpture and decorative arts. As an incubator of modernity, Paris saw the rising of a new epoch governed – for better or worse – by faith in progress and reason. As literature and science, art participated in the transformations of society, being surely its more accurate reflection. Since the French Revolution, art have accompanied political and social changes, opened to the contestation of academic practice, and led to an artistic and architectural avant-garde driven to depict contemporary experience and to develop new representational means. Creators, by their plastic experiments and their creativity, give the definitive boost to a modern aesthetics and new references. After the trauma of both World War and the American economic and cultural new hegemony, appeared a new artistic order, where artists confronted with mass-consumer society, challenging an insane post-war modernity.

  • La Conciergerie, Une Enclave Patrimoniale Au Coeur Du Palais De
    DOSSIER THÉMATIQUE 1 L’EDIFICATION DU PALAIS ROYAL PAR LES ROIS CAPETIENS Le palais royal est construit par les rois capétiens progressivement, dans un contexte de réorganisation du royaume et de réaffirmation du pouvoir monarchique. Conciergerie et Sainte-Chapelle sont les seules traces visibles de cette période, mais en fait, comme le souligne l’architecte Christophe Bottineau, les structures architecturales médiévales sont toujours là. LE SITE DU PALAIS ROYAL ET LES PREMIERES CONSTRUCTIONS L’historien Yann Potin rappelle que l’idée d’une continuité du palais de la Cité est discutable. Les plus anciens vestiges, découverts au XIXe siècle, datent en effet du XIIe siècle. La localisation d’un oppidum dans la partie occidentale de l’île, sur le site du palais, est aujourd’hui remise en cause par les archéologues, qui posent l’hypothèse d’une fondation gallo-romaine ex nihilo, à quelques kilomètres de la ville proto historique. Les rares chantiers Le palais royal de Paris, 4e lancette, de fouilles, menés principalement lors des travaux des années 1842- baie XV, Histoire des Reliques. 1898, montrent seulement la présence de demeures privées jusqu’aux IIIe et IVe siècles. La construction d’un palatium, abritant le Tribunal du prétoire et un hébergement occupé temporairement par les empereurs en campagne, est contemporaine de celles de deux ponts et des fortifications (dont un tronçon a été identifié sous la cour du Mai), édifiée lors du repli dans l’île au Bas Empire. Dans les siècles qui suivent, le palais paraît abandonné : les Mérovingiens y séjournaient peut-être, mais les sources mentionnent plutôt une résidence à Cluny ; les Carolingiens s’installent outre-Rhin, laissant probablement l’usage des lieux aux comtes.

  • Musée Jacquemart-André - Institut De France
    Communiqué de presse MUSÉE JACQUEMART-ANDRÉ - INSTITUT DE FRANCE EXPOSITION BOTTICELLI 10 SEPTEMBRE 2021 – 24 JANVIER 2022 À l’automne 2021, le musée Jacquemart-André célébrera le génie créatif de Sandro Botticelli (1445 – 1510) et l’activité de son atelier, en exposant une quarantaine d’œuvres de ce peintre raffiné accompagnées de quelques peintures de ses contemporains florentins sur lesquels Botticelli eut une influence particulière. La carrière de Botticelli, devenu l’un des plus grands artistes de Florence, témoigne du rayonnement et des changements profonds qui transforment la cité sous les Médicis. Botticelli est sans doute l’un des peintres les plus connus de la Renaissance italienne malgré la part de mystère qui entoure toujours sa vie et l’activité de son atelier. Sans relâche, il a alterné création unique et production en série achevée par ses nombreux assistants. L’exposition montrera l’importance de cette pratique d’atelier, laboratoire foisonnant d’idées et de formation, typique de la Renaissance italienne. Elle présentera Botticelli dans son rôle de créateur, mais également d’entrepreneur et de formateur. En suivant un ordre chronologique et thématique, le parcours illustrera le développement stylistique personnel de Botticelli, les liens entre son œuvre et la culture de son temps, ainsi que l’influence qu’il a lui-même exercée sur les artistes florentins du Quattrocento. vers 1490, huile sur toile, 158,1 x 68,5 cm, Photo © BPK, Berlin, Dist.

  • The Courvoisier Paris Golden Age Tour Following in The
    THE COURVOISIER PARIS GOLDEN AGE TOUR FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE BELLE ÉPOQUE THE TOAST OF PARIS SINCE 1889 1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to ‘The Courvoisier Paris Golden Age Tour’, an exclusive journey which will transport you to the heart of the Belle Époque also known as the Paris Golden Age. During la Belle Époque, the world came to Paris and Paris became the world. You will discover what it was like to be a Parisian at the end of the XIX century and why it was such a key time period for the capital, the world and for Courvoisier. The Courvoisier story started in Paris in the early 1800s with founders, Louis Gallois and Emmanuel Courvoisier. Based in Bercy, the business flourished and won many prestigious medals. It also won the love of Paris and the respect of Emperor Napoleon III himself, who chose Courvoisier as his sole official cognac supplier. The Paris Golden Age began in 1880 and ended in 1914 with the First World War, these few decades were named retrospectively, after the two world wars. In comparison to the devastating aftermath, it is remembered for its prosperity. At the time, innovation was everywhere, in the arts, the architecture, fashion, transport, the nightlife – it was in all aspects of life! Paris was a truly modern city and the most cosmopolitan European capital. The arts flourished, new scientific breakthroughs transformed lives almost daily and technological innovations left the population open-mouthed in awe. Haute couture was invented on Rue de la Paix, cinema was pioneered by the frères Lumière and the finest cuisine was enjoyed in the restaurants of the city.
