Things to see and do Paris 20th 75020

This charming church and its close surroundings (small cemetery and Grand-Rue) remind the atmosphere of a village heart. It is right since we are here in the old centre de Charonne, a commune annexed to Paris in 1860. The architecture of the building is composite. It includes elements ranging mainly from the th to the th century. Since its subsoil is unstable, the church has been closed to the public since 2009 for an indefinite period. You can follow the progress of the work on the church website. Photos are regularly posted by the priest.

This tourist office is a reference point for visitors seeking information on the city's tourist attractions, current events, restaurants and accommodation. Visitors can spend an average of 20 to 45 minutes here to get advice and brochures on what to do in Paris. The tourist office is easily accessible by metro, with the Hôtel de Ville station nearby.

For 50 years (!), the Friendly Inter-Guides has a team of multi-lingual guides and interpreters speaking English, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch that are at your service to accompany you in general, thematic tours, presentations of neighbourhoods and conferences in museums and exhibitions by making you enjoy the irreplaceable (and exciting) know-how. a professional guide.

" Knight-romantic "is the way to name Thierry Le Roi, who invites you to a guided tour of the funeral monuments of Père-Lachaise cemetery. Taking into account the biography of the personalities who are buried here, he does this in the way of a comedian, delivering his knowledge by giving his effects. There is a great deal of emotion and humor in front of the tomb of Pierre Desproges. Note that it offers visits of the same type in Montmartre cemetery. Go to the exit of the Metro Blanche (line No 2).

If you look for the relationship between Bucentaure and travel, you will discover first that in Greek mythology the bucentaure is no other than a centaur (man with a horse) having a bull body. Apart from the galopade of which such a creature is capable, but which cannot lead it far, there is little link with travel. On the other hand, learning that the Bucentaure (in Italian Bucintoro) was a parade building that we used in Venice to celebrate the wedding of the doge with the sea, one will find one, this time, eminently poetic and suggestive! The person who placed his activity under such a banner by choosing this name, a program of dreams and history for himself, is Beatrice Lubin, a lecturer of the Ecole du Louvre. His words are to animate for you, with all his science and his passion for his profession:

Visits of museums (national, City of Paris, other Parisian museums, museums in the vicinity of Paris) Note museums that are not often included in the tourist tour programme, such as the Arts and Crafts Museum or the Public Assistance Museum, for example.

Visits to monuments, where, again, Béatrice Lubin included in his programme places which are a little away from migration routes in large tourist herds: The Sorbonne, the Convent of the Carmelites, the Picpus Cemetery, the former abbey of Port Royal and others…

Visits from historic quarters.

Slide conferences (Understanding painting, sculpture, History of France, furniture, fashion, civilizations, religions, Our heritage).

If you want to make tourism in Paris when you are Parisian, the Bucentaure is perfectly adapted!

This tomb represents one of the most mythical love stories in history. Pierre Abélard is a philosopher and composer who had a terrible passionate story with Héloïse. Indeed, the young woman, coming from a noble family, after having known the beginning of her education in a monastery, would obtain the right to continue her education with a preceptor. Pierre Abélard would be chosen for this role and a love story will follow. This one wrote to her many love letters. While Fulbert, both the young woman's uncle and canon of Notre-Dame de Paris, discovered this forbidden love. Heloise told Abélard she was pregnant. She gave birth to Astrolabe, by Abelard's family. The lovers were even going to marry without any malicious scrutiny, because that would destroy the career of the teacher Abélard. Finally, Fulbert revealed the case and the marriage. Abelard was punished and even emasculated. Making him imperfect in body, this punishment would stop his ecclesiastical career and, at the same time, his teaching. The kingdom was shocked by Fulbert's private revenge. The retaliation law was worth the same punishment for Fulbert who would be emasculated, and suspended from his duties. Héloïse eventually took the veil in Argenteuil and Abélard retired as a monk at the Saint-Denis abbey. This love story has been a great success for many centuries. This monument is dedicated to the glory of this legendary couple.
