Voilà un musée méconnu qui vaut le détour , surtout qu’il est dans une partie de Paris tout à fait propice à une journée culture et détente au vert. Je dirais même que tout citoyen devrait voir ce musée une fois dans sa vie.
Situé Métro Porte Dorée à Paris, ce musée évoque l’histoire de l’immigration moderne en France. Un thème plus que jamais d’actualité. Car nous sommes tous des immigrés.
Pour varier un peu des news royal people.
Cela fait longtemps que je n’avais pas parlé de restaurants. En voici un que j’ai trouvé par hasard avec une amie, par une soirée d’hiver l’an dernier.

Second jour à Paris pour Kate et William . Une journée chargée . Kate a fait fi de la grisaille parisienne , élégante, et enfin avec une posture princière. Merci à qui, merci à Chanel !

Kate et William nous font l’honneur d’une visite en coup de vent, le temps de quelques engagements et d’un match de rugby demain. L’occasion de voir le duo faire un peu de damage control après la polémique sur les vacances de ski du futur roi, pendant que son frère Harry assurait le remplacement.
Un weekend de ski entre fêtards qui aurait fortement énervé Kate…

Aux Césars, on n’a retenu qu’une chose: George et Amal....enfin surtout Amal et ses jumeaux. On ne voyait qu’eux dans la robe blanche moulante bustier de la diva des prétoires internationaux. Fragile, délicate comme une pharaonne sortie d’un conte de fées, Amal brille par ses atours de princesse de la mode. Elle n’est pas reine comme Maxima ou Letizia, mais elle a tout d’une super reine de la mode.

Paris Chinatown district should rather be nicknamed Asiatown, as it is strongly influenced by the South East Asian cultures from Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand ( many members still being from the Chinese diaspora of those countries) . It is quite different from London’s Chinatown who is mainly under Hong Kong cultural influence.

A few addresses I am happy to share with you, in case you are tired of European cuisine and want to have a change. Hong Kong, Vietnam, China, every cuisine at reasonable rates.

Paris has a few big cemetaries, but Pere Lachaise is the oldest one and the biggest one. 69 000 people buried and 3.5 million visitors per year. Not macabre at all, it has been the place elected by the famous and the romantic for their eternal rest. Many celebrities, geniuses and Statesmen rest in peace there. Even singer-actress Cher already bought a concession there, to ensure she would be buried in Paris.
In this season, Allsaints Day coming (equivalent for Chinese people of the Tomb Sweeping Festival ( Qing Ming Jie) in April) , it is a good moment to take a walk at the Pere Lachaise and admire. Let’s wander along the alleys….
You heard of Copacabana, but never of Paris Plages ? You have to come to Paris to see that sandbeach on the bank of the Seine River.
