  • PARIS LE MEURICE One Day Itinerary: Romance Paris and Romance Have Been Synonymous for Centuries
    PARIS LE MEURICE One day itinerary: Romance Paris and romance have been synonymous for centuries. While the idea of an amorous retreat to the City of Light may not be terribly revolutionary, it’s a cliché for a reason. Whether wandering in centuries-old public parks or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city, couples eager for both intimacy and adventure have much to discover with this one-day itinerary. Start the day with a romantic carriage ride through the city with Paris Calèches, just 15 minutes from the hotel by taxi. PARIS CALÈCHES T: 06 62 20 24 88 | East Pillar of the Eiffel Tower, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris A calèche – or a private, horse-drawn carriage – is one of the lovelier ways to take in the Paris sights. For couples looking for a relaxed journey past some of the city’s most famous landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars, Paris Calèches provides an intimate way to explore (accompanied, if you so choose, by a bottle of Champagne and sweet treats). After your carriage ride, take a taxi for the 20-minute journey to the Jardin du Luxembourg. JARDIN DU LUXEMBOURG Rue de Médicis-Rue de Vaugirard, 75006 Paris Unfolding across almost 25 hectares, the magnificent Jardin du Luxembourg is one of the city’s most beloved public spaces, and has been since Marie de Medici created it in the early 17th century. Comprising English and French-style gardens, orchid-filled greenhouses, apiaries, orchards, ponds, and sculptures, the park offers plenty of space to get lost in during a romantic stroll.

  • Place Saint-Michel the Place Saint-Michel Is
    Place Saint-Michel The Place Saint-Michel is simple – a triangle between two streets, uniform buildings along both, designed by the same architect, a walk of smooth cobblestone. The centerpiece is St. Michael defeating a devil; far above them are four statues symbolizing the four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice. This monument came to be because of the 1848 Revolution and a cholera epidemic in Paris that followed it which killed thousands. This idea of abstract concepts given human form had been popular during the Revolution, the big one, representing the kind of big virtues – like the Four Cardinal Virtues – that everyone could strive for, instead of a single human being whose actions and legacy would turn people against each other. Simultaneous with the creation of Place Saint-Michel, Napoleon III’s renovation brought the Boulevard Saint-Michel into being, and that is the next part of our walk. Facing the fountain with the river at your back, walk on Boulevard Saint-Michel, it’s the street to your left. Walk away from the river along that street. Ultimately, you’ll be turning left on Rue des Écoles, but it’ll be about five minutes to get there, and you can listen to the next track on the way. Boulevard Saint-Michel The character of the street you’re on – wide-open space lined with trees and long, harmonious buildings, plus, often, a view of some landmark in the distance – was a central part of the renovation plan, or the Haussmann plan, as it’s also known.

  • Wandeling Langs De Seine
    Wandeling langs de Seine Van Pont de la Concorde tot Pont Neuf Deze wandeling loopt door het 1e, 6e en 7e arrondissement Begin: Metro Concorde Eind: Metro Pont Neuf Afstand: 4 km Duur: 1,5 - 2 uur De achthoekige place de la Concorde is een immens plein vol verkeer. Het is haast onmogelijk over te steken, maar je kunt er ook omheen lopen. Het plein is een prachtig punt met indrukwekkende gebouwen eromheen. De Champs-Elysées komt erop uit aan de westkant, aan de andere kant ligt de Jardin des Tuileries met het Jeu de Paume en de Orangerie. Aan de noordkant staan twee prachtige gebouwen, het peperdure Hôtel Crillon en het ministerie van Marine, beide gebouwd door architect Gabriel. Ten zuiden van het plein stroomt de Seine met de Pont de la Concorde. Het plein werd aangelegd in 1775 als place Louis-XV, maar in 1792 werd het stand- beeld van die koning neergehaald en werd het plein herdoopt in place de la Révolu- tion. Een jaar later werd er een guillotine opgesteld en binnen korte tijd werden hier ruim 1300 mensen een kopje kleiner gemaakt. Na de Revolutie werd het plein place de la Concorde (plein van de Eendracht) gen- oemd. In het midden verrees een obelisk uit Luxor, een geschenk van Egypte. In de acht hoeken van het plein staan beelden van de Franse steden Brest, Rouen, Lille, Straatsburg, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux en Nantes. Steek de Seine over via de Pont de la Concorde, voor een deel gebouwd met stenen van de verwoeste Bastille. din des Tuileries.

  • Discours De Pascale Cossart Sous La Coupole Lors De La Journée
    Discours Pascale Cossart sous la Coupole Journée Mondiale des Sciences Mardi 27 septembre 2016 Distinguished guests, Messieurs mesdames les ambassadeurs, dear Colleagues, dear friends, Mesdames et Messieurs, It is a real pleasure to welcome you under the Famous Coupole, the famous dome of the Institut de France, here in the Quai Conti, in one of the most beautiful palaces of the city of Paris. Other famous and beautiful Palaces include for example the Palais de l’Elysée, the Palais du Luxembourg, the Palais Royal and of course the Palais du Louvre where we spent the whole morning and which is located just on the other side of the river Seine, on the right bank. As you were already told, the crossing of the river that we just did, symbolized what has occurred in 1805 to the The Institut National des Sciences et des Arts, -the National Institute of Sciences and Arts- which moved from the Palais du Louvre to the pre-existing building where we are now thanks to Napoléon Bonaparte who was at the time in addition to being the French Emperor, a member of the Institute, in the so called « class of Physical sciences and mathematics ». This coupole, this dome is the emblematic part of the building. All French people have heard of it, know it because this is the place where new members, elected in one of the five Academies, are officially inducted during a very official ceremony. As some of you have already realized this coupole is very special. It is not circular, it is oval, egg-shaped but only in the interior.
