Neuilly-sur-Seine, city of birth for Marine le Pen, beautiful suburb of Paris

Neuilly-sur-Seine, ville de naissance pour Marine le Pen, belle banlieue de Paris
Neuilly-sur-Seine (French pronunciation: [nøji syʁ sɛn]) is a French commune just west of Paris, in the department of Hauts-de-Seine. A suburb of Paris, Neuilly is immediately adjacent to the city and directly extends it. The area is composed of mostly wealthy, select residential neighbourhoods, and many corporate headquarters are located there.

Until the French Revolution, the settlement was often referred to as Port-Neuilly, but at the creation of French communes in 1790 the Port was dropped and the newly born commune was named simply Neuilly.
On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighbouring communes. On that occasion, a part of the territory of Neuilly-sur-Seine was annexed by the city of Paris, and forms now the neighbourhood of Ternes, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
On 11 January 1867, part of the territory of Neuilly-sur-Seine was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Clichy to create the commune of Levallois-Perret.
On 2 May 1897, the commune name officially became Neuilly-sur-Seine (meaning Neuilly upon Seine), in order to distinguish it from the many communes of France also called Neuilly. However, most people continue to refer to Neuilly-sur-Seine as simply Neuilly. During the 1900 Summer Olympics, it hosted the basque pelota events.[1]
The American Hospital of Paris was founded in 1906.
In 1919, the Treaty of Neuilly was signed with Bulgaria in Neuilly-sur-Seine to conclude its role in World War I.
In 1929, the Bois de Boulogne, which was hitherto divided between the communes of Neuilly-sur-Seine and Boulogne-Billancourt, was annexed in its entirety by the city of Paris.
Main sights[edit]
It was the site of the Château de Neuilly, an important royal residence during the July Monarchy.
Transport[edit]
Neuilly-sur-Seine is served by three stations on Paris Métro Line 1: Porte Maillot (with a direct access to RER line C), Les Sablons and Pont de Neuilly.
RATP Bus service includes the lines 43, 73, 82, 93, 157, 158, 163, 164, 174 [1]
Night Bus lines include N11 and N24.

Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France
A twenty-minute visit to the world's most famous cemetery, Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France. More than a million people have been buried at Père Lachaise, and its tombs are among the most artistic and varied that you'll find anywhere. It's also a quiet, pleasant place for a stroll or a rest—if you don't mind being surrounded by dead bodies.
This video shows how to reach the cemetery, and shows examples of some of the many varied tombs within. It also shows a random handful of celebrity tombs, and a selection of memorial monuments. It's not an inventory of famous dead people or funereal art, just a sampler of what you can see at the cemetery—enough to show why it is such a popular tourist destination.
I've included some very simple narration in the closed captions, but it's not very interesting. The actual audio in the video is sound from the cemetery—and the cemetery is very quiet most of the time, so you'll have to crank it if you want to hear anything (mostly wind in the trees).

Let's Go - Paris
‘Let’s Go’ to the City of Light and love — to explore the monument-lined boulevards, world-class cuisine, and art-enriched streets of Paris.
There’s a reason the storied, romantic city of Paris is one of the world’s most visited capitals. Tourists flock to see the classic architecture and the famous paintings in the Louvre, to eat at Michelin-starred restaurants and shop at chic boutiques, and to experience the wonder of religious structures like the intricate, majestic Notre-Dame cathedral — but to keep going back to Paris is only to find out there is always more to see. Each district carries rich and multicultural heritage, from the compact but incredible Cambodian and Laotian restaurants of the 13th arrondissement to the shtiebels of the Marais’ Jewish quarter to the long, cobbled halls populated with historical figures of the Père Lachaise cemetery in the 20th arrondissement.
Buy a baguette for under a euro and some classic Parisian butter, and wander the banks of the Seine, stopping every so often to peruse the wares of the bouquinistes, small vintage book-sellers that line the ‘only river in the world that runs between two bookshelves.' Sit on the steps in front of the white-domed Sacré-Cœur and watch as performers juggle footballs while climbing the lampposts, all with the entire cityscape spread out behind them. Walk down to explore the rest of Montmartre — stop in at once of the classic Parisian cafes for the plat du jour and a noisette, an espresso with a hazelnut-sized dollop of cream. You could go to Pigalle to experience the traditional “Paris by night,” or hit the best punk bar in town, hidden in the backstreets and alleys of the Bastille.
Or, visit any of the other incredible places captured by the BD team: Les Deux Plateaux, the Montparnasse Tower, the Jardin Du Palais, Belleville, Saint-Germain-Des-Prés, Metiers Metro Station and the Trocadero. Whatever you do, wear your rose-tinted glasses and comfortable shoes.

Le Polidor. The restaurant in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.
It’s no wonder Woody Allen used Polidor as one of the locations for his time travel fantasy, Midnight in Paris. Stepping through the door is stepping back in time. On his first night walk in Midnight in Paris, protagonist, Gil (played by Owen Wilson) meets his idol Hemingway in this historic restaurant on 41 rue Monsieur-le-Prince. It’s wooden interior largely unaltered in 100 years, Le Polidor remains a cherished Parisian time capsule, one of the most popular in the Left Bank. Le Polidor, which first opened in 1845, continues the tradition of the great Parisian bistros. Here you can taste authentic Burgundy snails, blanquette de veau, boeuf bourguignon and grills. The meats that are served are French (from Normandy, the Limousin and Aquitaine). Everything is home-made, even the desserts!

Winter Rail Travel in Europe: 7 Day Interrail / Eurail Pass
This Winter Rail Journey on the 7-day Interrail Pass (myself) and Eurail Pass (Fanfan) was in early January 2019 during snowy conditions in Europe. Full itinerary here:
Day 1: Berlin to Heidelberg (Germany) – 2 nights
Day 2: Heidelberg to Bern (Switzerland)
Day 3: Bern to Zermatt (Switzerland) – 2 nights
Day 4: Zermatt to Saint Gallen (Switzerland)
Day 5: Saint Gallen to Munich (Germany)
Day 6: Munich to Prague (Czech Republic) – 2 nights
Day 7: Prague to Berlin (Germany)
Winter is always the preferred condition and time of travel for us, when there are less tourists travelling in Europe, reservations are not really necessary for trains, and the scenery is just unbeatable.
The trip was also inspired by the Glacier Express in Switzerland, but Switzerland is also where you get the real value for money on the Interrail/Eurail Pass. Otherwise we did start out in Germany, with cheap flights to Berlin Germany, as it is a convenient destination and starting point for exploring the eastern and northern part of Europe.
We then hop between trains through Germany and Switzerland, taking as well a quick rail journey out to Prague in the Czech Republic, before a return journey to our starting point again in Berlin. For return flights.
There will be a full and rather comprehensive blog is to come, but, for now, here is a quick round-up of the 7 days of travel which we were given on a 1-month Interrail Pass / Eurail Pass. Although, in total, it took 12 days given extended stays in destinations like Zermatt and Prague.

Père Lachaise is the largest cemetery in Paris and one of the most famous in the world. Many, many famous people are buried here among these grand monuments and mausoleums. Everybody knows Carmen. Here is the man who wrote the music, the famous composer Georges Bizet. Here is the grave of French novelist, Honoré de Balzac. All the French students know him because they have to read his books in high school. His most famous work is La Comédie humaine, The Human Comedy. It is a collection of novels.
Père Lachaise is interesting because it has got a beautiful ambience. After you go to the galleries then you go to the final resting place of some of the great artists. In the cemetery, there are 5,000 trees. It is almost like a park! Not all people who are buried here are French. For instance, Jim Morrison, the singer of The Doors, is American, and he has his grave here because he died in Paris. This winged statue marks the site where Irish playwright Oscar Wilde is buried. As you can see, he has a lot of admirers who come and kiss his grave.
Père Lachaise was the first cemetery in France to have its own crematorium. It was built in the 1880s in Byzantine style. This is Mur des Fédérés, the Communards' Wall. In 1871, 150 people got shot here. Along this same wall are monuments dedicated to those who lost their lives in the Holocaust. For younger people who do not know a lot about the history behind it, it is really good learning. As a teacher, you can talk about the people and what they did and why they are important, and even if you do not know about them, you can make that sort of connection with the French culture. This cemetery is like a labyrinth, so before you get in, make sure you have got a map. I am Cécile, showing you Paris.
