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.

There are too many people, you must buy a fast pass, the queue for popular projects starts at two hours, it is impossible to open both parks in one day, there are many exciting projects in the park, I like it very much, it is recommended that you pay more attention to the project with a bag, most of the projects do not have a bag storage point, you have to bring a bag to play

Visiting the Louvre Museum was an unforgettable experience for our family!Of course, our main goal was to see the Mona Lisa, and it was truly a dream come true.We visited with our two young children (ages 4 and 7), and they were absolutely amazed by the beauty and grandeur of the museum.The atmosphere, the incredible art, and the history all around made it a magical visit for all of us.Seeing the Mona Lisa in person was breathtaking and something we will always remember.The Louvre is definitely a must-visit when in Paris &mdash; both for adults and for children!

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

Night Attractions

SUNSHINE ONUS

Notre Dame is worth it. It is one of the most famous attractions in Paris and a must visit attraction. It was rainy today and the queue was long. Very crowded. Enter the interior of Notre Dame, deeply attracted by the exquisite religious works of the interior decoration, statues, murals, tapestries and so on. Taking a lot of photos and reading a lot of religious knowledge. Worth a visit.

Palace of Versailles

Historic buildings

M86***49

Versailles is one of France&#39;s most famous palaces, with its magnificent architecture and exquisite gardens breathtaking. The interior of the palace is decorated with luxurious tapestries and murals that showcase the luxury and power of the French royal family. What impressed me most was the mirror hall, with its spacious spaces and gorgeous mirrors and lamps, as if entering a dream world. The gardens around the palace are vast, with fountains, sculptures and neatly manicured gardens showing the ultimate aesthetic of gardening. Visiting the Palace of Versailles is not only a visual feast, but also an experience of crossing history.
