Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Bercy Village
Bercy Village has been described as a faux French village in the heart of Paris, but there's nothing faux about it: The urban-renewal project in the 12th arrondissement, next to the modern Parc de Bercy and the Seine, consists largely of small wine warehouses from the late 19th Century that have been saved from decay by conversion into shops and restaurants. It's a great place to spend a few hours, especially if you have more than a passing interest in urban design, architecture, or retailing.
The project had its genesis in 1990, when the city of Paris staged an architectural competition for the redevelopment project. The winning firm, Valode & Pistre, designed a plan that consisted of the restored warehouses with modern, taller buildings behind. Instead of turning the old cobblestoned lanes into a covered shopping center, as its rivals wanted to do, Valode & Pistre proposed leaving the streets open with a network of awnings to protect visitors from the weather.
Although Bercy Village's retailing milieu leans toward the upscale, it isn't just a shopping mall for yuppies. Our own favorite store, Animalis, is a pet-lover's paradise with everything you might need for your dog, cat, bird, or fish. You'll also find a cinema, art galleries, beauty parlors, and several restaurants and cafés. Allow time for a visit to the Parc de Bercy next door.
Ride any Ligne 14 Métro train to Cour Saint-Émilion. (This is the new Météor line between the Gare de Lyon and the Bibliothėque National de France.) Bercy Village is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The Victor Hugo Museum is at 6, place des Vosges in the Marais section of Paris, France. Admission is 5 euros.
He, his family and his mistress rented here for awhile. Known for writing, the theatre, activism, art and his exile, this museum shows many different types of things and there are apartments to visit, also. The Black Rainbows show runs through August, 2012 and there is a permanent exhibition here of course. The elevator was out of order so this was not accessible, but I managed and enjoyed the visit, which is in a charming area of Paris. The Place des Vosges has a lovely park, restaurants, shops, galleries, and other places you can visit. There are many public transportation options to reach Le Marais -- the 1 métro to the Saint-Paul station is just one.
Passionately against the death penalty, this clip begins with some art on that theme, and some of his pamphlets for worthy causes, such as against pauperism, are shown here. The temporary show includes art works by Hugo and other artists. It is somewhat multimedia in presentation. I saw rooms, paintings, sculptures, letters, objects, furnishings ... an audio guide in different languages was also available for rental. The French documentation was included in the entry price and was quite good.
Much of Paris is closed on Sundays, but Le Marais, being so popular, still has many things open then. An old Jewish quarter, it is popular among gays, artists, fans of architecture, and there are many museums, parks and green spaces, quiet streets as well as busy ones, music, places to eat and drink, shops, hotels (not budget ones) and atmosphere. I am available as a private guide and can plan your visit, business activities, even help you relocate here. My web site offers a contact feature.
Hommage à Dame Nature
Ce film est composé de photos prises au cours de mes balades matinales dans la nature, lorsque les premiers rayons de soleil inondent les fleurs couvertes de rosée.
Parcourir notre Dame Nature en immortalisant sa beauté est pour moi une source de fraîcheur et de joie dans le chaos qui règne en ce monde et je suis heureuse de la partager avec vous.
Ces photos sont accompagnées par le prélude en C Major de Bach, par Morning Mood de Grieg et par l' Hiver des 4 saisons de Vivaldi
