The latest creation of the Atelier des Lumières takes you on the first steps of naive art in France. Spontaneous, dreamlike, sometimes childish, this new approach to painting is embodied in the works of Henri Rousseau.
At the end of the 19th century, this self-taught painter and pioneer of naive art drew his inspiration from observing in detail the vegetation and animals from elsewhere, from the greenhouses and menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.
Mocked by his contemporaries, but admired by avant-gardists such as Delaunay, Apollinaire, Picasso and Kandinsky, his idealistic painting with bright colors and clumsy perspectives would later allow him to free himself from the academic standards of the time by opening the way to modernity in painting.
Henri Rousseau makes you rediscover the Paris of the industrial era, populated by frozen characters who observe us under a sky where zeppelins and hot air balloons float. Without ever having left France, he also weaves the colorful story in the heart of a dense plant kingdom where the eyes of tigers pierce the foliage and the landscapes transport us to imaginary lands.
In this parallel universe where the reality of everyday life is invaded by a profusion of dreamlike details, the one who was nicknamed "Customs Officer" because of his job at the Paris grant, invites us to escape by dreaming with our eyes wide open, from France to a jungle with the scent of Eden.

Disneyland Paris is divided into two parks. The Walt Park is more for adults and has fewer rides, while the Disneyland has more rides. If you don&rsquo;t have a fast pass, one day is not enough time to visit both parks. The performances are very exciting and worth seeing.

Louvre Museum

Superchick

The museum is massive so I suggest booking an early time slot so you have enough time to see all the exhibits there&#39;s a lot of interesting pieces of art to see . The line to get into the museum might take some time so keep that in mind.

Great option for fixed time entry into Eiffel Tower, especially if you can&rsquo;t get tickets directly with Eiffel Tower. Marie Rosa was our guide today and she is absolutely lovely, very friendly and helpful to bring us up to Eiffel Tower.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

清无梓境

🌟 Paris stroll: a city romantic code, how many people do not know Paris, this name knows this building, in the textbooks to read the ugly bell ringer has increased the mystery of the biological Notre Dame, Paris must punch in the red location. The interior has not yet opened, and the exterior is still under maintenance. 🗼 Notre Dame Cathedral is under maintenance, and the people who come to punch in are still endless, just to witness the truth. It reopened in September. You can make an online reservation for the Seine River at night like a picture scroll slowly unfolding. The beauty is unspeakable.
