| Bonjour,
Famous for its gastronomy, heritage and history, the Paris Ile-de-France region has always been at the avant-garde of French trends. In one stay, you can discover the new Parisian spirit, with its many museums of modern arts, young creators and organic cafés, plus the treasures of the past and traditions with visits to Auvers-sur-Oise, Vaux le Vicomte or Versailles. Our bulletin will reveal the vibrance and novelties of this region, along with our coups de coeur and favourite addresses.
On the agenda, a new exhibition dedicated to women artists: Elles@centrepompidou, the first retrospective of the entire work of Yves St-Laurent at the Petit Palais, and a nostalgic promenade through the 20 craziest, most creative years of Haute Couture at the Museum of Decorative Arts. Continue with a visit to the Galeries Lafayette, which combines art, fashion and design. The exhibit, “Space for Fantasy” in the Galerie of the Galeries might just change the way you see the world… Then stroll through the five floors dedicated to fashion and beauty, or pause at the champagne bar for a refreshment. Once you have bought that new outfit, enjoy the City of Light with Bateaux Parisiens and the Illumination Dinner Cruise.
Back on the river banks, discover the Seine differently with the “Yvelines animated picnics,” inviting you to have lunch on the riverside this year. A must for families and friends!
The Fouquet’s Barrière Hotel, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, or the Intercontinental Paris Le Grand, nestled by Place Vendôme and the department stores, both offer the perfect setting for your shopping escapade in Paris.
