It started well for the wrapping of the Pont Neuf by artist JR. A nice way to pay hommage to Christo who had wrapped the same bridge 40 years ago.

It looked fantastic from unclose as well as from afar until… major gusts of winds came to spoil the party… and tore the wrapping in many places…

The “caverne du Pont-Neuf” is now being fixed. Considering it is 120 meters long and 18 meters high, it might take a few days to be fixed…

For now one can admire the bare inflated parts that gave the cave its shape…

Art Nouveau aficionados, take a deep breath! This is a rare inside look at an apartment inside the Castel Béranger, one of the masterpieces of Hector Guimard, architecte extraordinaire!

This apartment is currently for sale for a mere 1.2 million Euros, if you have that, you can move in! Over the years, many of the 36 apartments in this building have suffered the passing of not so respectful residents who did some damage by not caring or others who left with spoils of war… The current resident did care and the result is a good representation of the work of Guimard. 🙏Thank you, Nan for sharing the info with me! 🙏

If you do not have 1.2 million Euros, you can join my Art Nouveau walk in Paris, you will be bewildered by Hector Guimard's creations and you will never look at architecture the same way...

How often do you meet beings from distant galaxies? How about meeting a Mandalorian?

Encounters of the third kind happen when you are on your way to meeting visitors, you pass by a movie theatre and they are promoting the latest Star Wars spin-off…

Being a long time Star Wars fan (specially the first trilogy of course!), I could not resist doing a selfie with Monsieur Mandalorian… May the force...

Have you ever visited the “Hôtel des Invalides”?

If you like history and anything related to the military, you will be in heaven!

As it is a private tour, the time spent on each section will be discussed beforehand so we concentrate on your areas of interest.

Among the highlights that can be covered are stunning medieval armours ; weapons of different time periods ; the sections on French Revolution and Napoleon ; the American Revolution ; WWI and WWII ; and of course, the "can't miss" astonishing Tomb of Emperor Napoleon!

My private tour of the Invalides does not appear on my website, however, feel free to reach out for more info. If you’d like to check out my other “Historic Journeys Back in Time”, go to Parisology.net !

Meet Lang and Luz and their kids Finnegan and Ruby who joined me for the WWII Occupation & Liberation of Paris. It’s hard to see but we are standing by a Citroen DS. This specific car is sometimes parked near the ending spot of my tour. When it is, visitors get a bonus story as the car has an interesting connection to a major figure in French history… The great Charles de Gaulle…

Every 8th May, flowers adorn the statue of Joan of Arc in Paris, commemorating the day in 1429 she delivered Orléans from the British. Two years later, maybe on 30th May, she was burned at the stakes in Rouen…

Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church in Paris has a bust of Pope John-Paul II. The bust has just been refurbished and the bronze looks so bright now.

The church belongs to the Polish community of Paris, hence the presence of the Polish Pope.
Karol Wojtyla, John Paul’s actual name, was very active in promoting human’s rights in the world, specially in communist countries. He contributed to bringing a lot of attention to the “Solidarnosc” movement. Poland was the beginning of the fall, triggering the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

John Paul also travelled to over 100 countries and tried to spread a message of solidarity in wealthy states that do not take care of their less fortunate people…

Do these croissants look vaguely familiar? Say like those by a famous pastry chef / star of instagram?

Well, Chef Cedric (hush, I don’t say his last name) had to hire staff for his shops, so trainees learn, and then they move on and they open their own pastry shops…

“Rouge et Blanc” is located on the beautiful Rue du Commerce in the 15th arrondissement and you will enjoy their pastries which are much more affordable then those of their previous boss…

And while, the 15th is not so touristy in terms of landmarks, Rue du Commerce is actually a great street with a ton of food shops, cafés and restaurants… So if you get hungry…
