Paris Hôtel Plaza Athénée PARIS HÔTEL PLAZA ATHÉNÉE Two day itinerary: Active Paris is a gastronomic haven, so it can be tempting to spend all your time sampling French delicacies at the city’s restaurants and cafés. Luckily, between meals of heavenly pastries and flavoursome cheeses, there’s plenty of opportunity to work off your favourite indulgences while ticking off some essential sightseeing at the same time. From world-class golf courses to beautiful parks and historic horse rides, experience Paris like never before with this two-day active itinerary. Day one Begin the day with a 12-minute walk over Pont des Invalides to Berges de Seine. BERGES DE SEINE Quai d’Orsay, 75000 Paris Berges de Seine is a pedestrianized riverside promenade that’s packed full of activities for all the family. From climbing walls and board games to hopscotch and relaxation areas, there’s a lot to discover on this stretch of the Left Bank. Take a leisurely walk along Berges de Seine from Pont des Invalides to the Eiffel Tower, where you’ll also discover the Parc du Champ de Mars, a beautiful landscaped park at the foot of the city’s most iconic structure. Next, take a 35-minute drive to Château de Versailles. CHÂTEAU DE VERSAILLES T: 01 30 83 78 00 Place d’Armes, 78000 Versailles Château de Versailles is one of the most beautiful palaces in the world. Make a visit even more memorable by touring the palace’s grounds and royal gardens on horseback with a local riding school. While there, it’s also possible for equine enthusiasts to enjoy a guided tour of the royal stables or witness a training session at the Academy of Equestrian Arts. From Château de Versailles, it’s a 15-minute drive to the next stop, Le Golf National. LE GOLF NATIONAL T: 01 30 43 36 00 | 2 Avenue Golf, 78280 Guyancourt Swing in the footsteps of the world’s leading golfers at Le Golf National, home of the annual French Open and the Ryder Cup 2018. The club is renowned worldwide and features two championship 18-hole courses, Albatros and Aigle, and a nine-hole course, L’Oiselet. There’s also an excellent clubhouse serving post-game refreshments. Then, head to Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a 30-minute drive from Le National Golf. 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) CHÂTEAU DE SAINT-GERMAIN-EN-LAYE T: 01 39 10 13 00 | Place Charles de Gaulle, 78100 Saint-Germain-en-Laye The Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye is a striking, historic castle on the outskirts of Paris. Its extensive grounds comprise beautiful parklands and the Forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, which is bordered by the River Seine. While connected to the castle, the land is open to the public and visitors are invited to enjoy a picturesque hike, run or cycle through the ancient woodlands and landscaped gardens. The final location of the day, Tennis Club de la Châtaigneraie, is a 20-minute drive away. TENNIS CLUB DE LA CHÂTAIGNERAIE T: 01 47 51 66 72 | 6-12 Avenue de la Châtaigneraie, 92500 Rueil Malmaison Tennis enthusiasts won’t want to miss the chance to play on the same courts of many of the world’s greatest tennis players.

There are 10 covered courts that can be rented out by the hour, and lessons are also available for those who want to brush up on their serve. To get back to the hotel, hail a taxi for a 30-minute drive. Day two Start the final day of the itinerary with a picturesque 20-minute drive along the river to Promenade Plantée. PROMENADE PLANTÉE 1 Coulée verte René-Dumont, 75012 Paris Promenade Plantée is one of the most unusual public spaces in Pairs, popular with locals and the occasional in-the-know tourist. Similar to New York City’s High Line, a large proportion of this narrow park is built atop old elevated train tracks. The whole path is almost 4.5km long, flanked by beautiful greenery, flowers, fountains and wildlife – an ideal place for a morning stroll. Next, take a 10-minute drive or a 25-minute walk to Joséphine Baker Swimming Pool. PISCINE JOSÉPHINE BAKER T: 01 56 61 96 50 | Quai François Mauriac, 75013 Paris As it’s unsafe to swim in the Seine, enjoy a swim at the Joséphine Baker Swimming Pool instead. The innovative floating pool, built into a giant barge, was the first of its kind in Paris and features four lanes for swimmers of all levels. In the summer, the glass roof rolls back, providing visitors with a memorable al fresco experience that almost feels like swimming in the Seine itself. Then take a 15-minute taxi ride to the Bois de Vincennes.

There are also plenty of attractions to explore including a zoo, a bird sanctuary, a number of theatres, a Buddhist temple, a funfair and the Château de Vincennes. Take a 35-minute drive to the harbour next to the Pont de l’Alma. RIVER SEINE T: 01 42 25 96 10 | Bateaux Mouches, Port de la Conférence, 75008 Paris As the afternoon draws to a close, head off on a river cruise. Bateaux Mouches offers a variety of sightseeing tours complete with commentary and fine-dining. Drifting past the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre and other Paris highlights, it is the perfect way to see the city of lights. Take a taxi for the 20-minute journey to the final stop of the day, Le Caveau de la Huchette. LE CAVEAU DE LA HUCHETTE T: 01 43 26 65 05 | 5 Rue de la Huchette, 75005 Paris Back on dry land, put on your dancing shoes and head off for an evening at Le Caveau de la Huchette. A fixture on Paris’ jazz music scene since 1946, the bar hosts live music and dancing all week. Those keen of eye will recognise the space from its fleeting appearance in the movie, La La Land. To get back to the hotel, take a 15-minute drive or a 50-minute walk along the river. All journey times are approximate and subject to variation.

  • Highlights of a Fascinating City
    PARIS HIGHLIGHTS OF A FASCINATING C ITY “Paris is always that monstrous marvel, that amazing assem- blage of activities, of schemes, of thoughts; the city of a hundred thousand tales, the head of the universe.” Balzac’s description is as apt today as it was when he penned it. The city has featured in many songs, it is the atmospheric setting for countless films and novels and the focal point of the French chanson, and for many it will always be the “city of love”. And often it’s love at first sight. Whether you’re sipping a café crème or a glass of wine in a street café in the lively Quartier Latin, taking in the breathtaking pano- ramic view across the city from Sacré-Coeur, enjoying a romantic boat trip on the Seine, taking a relaxed stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg or appreciating great works of art in the muse- ums – few will be able to resist the charm of the French capital. THE PARIS BOOK invites you on a fascinating journey around the city, revealing its many different facets in superb colour photo- graphs and informative texts. Fold-out panoramic photographs present spectacular views of this metropolis, a major stronghold of culture, intellect and savoir-vivre that has always attracted many artists and scholars, adventurers and those with a zest for life. Page after page, readers will discover new views of the high- lights of the city, which Hemingway called “a moveable feast”.

  • Au Bois De Boulogne Pen and Black Ink and Watercolour, Within an Irregularly Shaped Overmount
    Théophile-Alexandre STEINLEN (Lausanne 1859 - Paris 1923) Au Bois de Boulogne Pen and black ink and watercolour, within an irregularly shaped overmount. Signed Steinlen at the right centre. Inscribed and signed (by Aristide Bruant) 'Quand on cherche un femme à Paris / Maint’nant même en y mettant l’prix / On n’rencontre plus qu’ des debris / ou d’la charogne; / Mais pour trouver c’qu’on a d’besoin / Il existe encore un bon coin / C’est au bout d’Paris…pas ben loin: / Au bois d’ Boulogne. A Bruant' on the mount. 289 x 219 mm. [sheet, at greatest dimensions] This drawing by Steinlen illustrates the song ‘Au Bois de Boulogne’ by Aristide Bruant, and was used for the cover of the July 1891 issue of Le Mirliton, a Parisian journal founded by Bruant in 1885 and named after his café of the same name. The cover, as eventually printed, incorporated the score and the lyrics of the song, which alludes to the nocturnal activities known to take place in the Bois de Boulogne, the large park near the western edge of Paris. The lyrics to the song, written by Bruant on the mount of this drawing by Steinlen, may be approximately translated as ‘When looking for a woman in Paris / Nowadays, even if one pays good money / We only meet debris / or carrion; / But to find what you need / There is still a good spot / It’s at the end of Paris ... not far away: / At the Bois de Boulogne.’ As Phillip Dennis Cate has noted of Bruant, ‘His songs were of street people…sung in the argot of the street.
