<br />
I'm not personally going into Centre Pompidou since I did it a couple of weeks ago.<br />
It's basically a french version of the Tate Modern; so if you're into the modern art scene then yeah, it's worth a look. Lots of angry semi-naked feminists.<br />
It is open all day every day: 11am-9pm.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.paris-france-vacation.com/images/CentrePompidou.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.centrepompidou.fr/Pompidou/Manifs.nsf/AllExpositions/BCC6CE781B245AA7C125777D0054F13D?OpenDocument&sessionM=2.2.1&L=2">http://www.centrepompidou.fr/Pompidou/Manifs.nsf/AllExpositions/BCC6CE781B245AA7C125777D0054F13D?OpenDocument&sessionM=2.2.1&L=2</a><br />
- Current exhibitions and where to book tickets.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.centrepompidou.fr/pompidou/Communication.nsf/0/88D31BDB4FE7AB60C1256D970053FA6F?OpenDocument&sessionM=9.1&L=2">http://www.centrepompidou.fr/pompidou/Communication.nsf/0/88D31BDB4FE7AB60C1256D970053FA6F?OpenDocument&sessionM=9.1&L=2</a><br />
- There's a bit of history about the building etc.<br />
<br />
Notre Dame De Paris (french for Our Lady of Paris) is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. It is open 8am-6:45pm daily (or at least the week days when we will be there) umm so would be an idea to visit there first.<br />
I am recommending Hotel De Ville as the station to go to from Anvers (where we will be staying) as it is in between the two. Also; there are some nice macaroon shops in that area (for all those that are after some multi-coloured sweet treats).<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://paris.france-province.net/paris/monuments-paris3/images/notre_dame_de_paris_facade.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The tower is NOT open until April unfortunately; but the architecture inside is worth a look.<br />

<b>Groups leaders will have fun by:</b><br />
<br />
1/ Preparing a guided tour - get some notes/printouts to tell us all about the place we visit<br />
<br />
2/ Can set us a task :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>FOR EVERYONE:</b><br />
Think of something that has to brought back from Paris - it has to be super cheap or free<br />
<br />
There should be a list of 22 things, and no dupilcates! So the more original you are from the start the less chance of another person thinking of the same thing<br />

Prior to the creation of the Catacombs in the mid-1700s, residents buried their dead in cemeteries near churches as is still customary in most places.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">But as the city grew, the cemeteries quickly ran out of space. Additionally, improper burial techniques often led to ground water and land near cemeteries becoming contaminated and spreading disease to those living nearby, so city officials moved to condemn all the cemeteries within city limits and move the bodies in those cemeteries elsewhere.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The decision was made to use an underground section of quarries in Paris, and the bones from Paris’ city cemeteries were moved underground between 1786 and 1788. The process was conducted with reverence and discretion – the quarry space was blessed before any bones were moved there, bones were always moved in a quiet parade of carts accompanied by priests, and these movements always took place at night. The quarries continued to be used as the collection point for the bones from Paris’ cemeteries through 1814 and now contain the bodies of roughly 6-7 million Parisians.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><img alt="catacombs3" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4007" height="300" src="http://whygo-eur.s3.amazonaws.com/www.parislogue.com/files/2007/12/catacombs3.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: right; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px; margin-top: 8px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-top: 2px;" width="400" />What’s particularly surprising about the Catacombs of Paris isn’t that they’re a tourist attraction in modern-day Paris – what’s surprising is that they started attracting visitors even before the last bones were moved in 1814, and they were already a major attraction just over 50 years later. In fact, in the late 1800s the larger underground crypt areas were even used as mini-concert halls!</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Even though people were touring the Catacombs starting in 1867, the historic significance of this network of tunnels wasn’t finished being written. They were used by members of the French Resistance during World War II as they hid from the Germans, and the Germans also used a portion of the tunnels during World War II as a bunker.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The tunnels underwent a major renovation in 2007-2008 to make them more accessible to and safer for visitors.</div></span></span></span></div></b></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256784028348578287.post-6778004855580870702011-02-22T18:22:00.000+00:002011-02-22T18:22:38.381+00:00meet up 13:30 Wednesday!Hi all!<br />

Avoid sitting down anywhere.. makes eating pretty pricey.<br /><br />We visited Sacre-Coeur and I would love to go back, especially in the evening for some picture taking. To be fair, Montmatre is just gorgeous, would definitely like to spend some drawing time there, they have a great range of cafes and old architecture, winding streets.. it's incredibly erm.. "French". I could definitely spend a full 24 hours in that area.<br /><img src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c324/binks_176/montmartre-7.jpg"><br /><br />Umm, Moulin Rouge, the Trocadéro; seeing the<b> </b>Effiel Tour, walk along the Seine && seeing the Louvre and Champs Elysees.<br />Would also like to revisit Notre-Dame.. also, if anyone's interested there's outdoor ice-skating near there.. only €5, and bit of fun.<br /><br />I still have a tube map from there.. tad confusing but I'll highlight where to get off for what.<br /><br /><br /><br />Emily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0
