We think this must be the most beautiful photo we have ever seen of Mont Saint Michel. It is possible to visit Mont Saint Michel in a day tour from Paris, or include it in a longer visit of wonderful Normandy.
Many of our guides know their way around that region. Just contact us!

We highly recommend the Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) exhibition in the delightful Musée de Montmartre, until January 2nd 2022.

What monuments do you recognize in his work? We guess the Eiffel tower will not be difficult to point out. But can you spot out other monuments?

Here you have a link to the streaming of the conception af the Project Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped by Christo and Jeanne Claude.
This project has been postponed several times, but now it's finally happening.
Christo passed away in 2020, so this will be his last project for Paris. His wrapping of the Pont Neuf brigde in 1985 was a huge success. If you wish to see the Arc de Triumph wrapped with your own eyes, you have to visit Paris between the 18th of September and 3d of October this year.

Tomorrow, May 5, it will be exactly 200 years since the death of Napoleon I. The emperor of the French died on the island of Saint Helena, where he lived in exile for six years. His remains were sent to Paris 19 years after his death, at the request of Louis-Philippe I, King of the French. These remains entered Paris with great fanfare followed by thousands of Parisians. A monumental tomb was designed by Visconti in his honor at the Invalides. Napoleon could finally find rest among the Parisians he had loved so much. Yet so many mysteries still surround the death of this extraordinary character: Did he really die naturally? Does he really rest at the Invalides? Next time you visit Paris, follow us on a fascinating tour with a guide in one of the Scandinavian languages ! 😃
