Great news for collectors and just lovers of French wines – a new Appellation has appeared on the map of France. And this spring, visitors to the Paris cafes and restaurants will be able to taste the wine whose label will proudly sound «Coteaux Bourguignons».
This is a long tradition to relate the taste and aroma of wine to the place where the grapes were grown and where it was produced. Actually, even within the same wine region such important natural factors as, for example, soil and climate can vary considerably.
It is significant that exactly the French introduced the world the concept of “terroir”, uniting all the conditions having an influence on the quality of grapes and, of course, the wine. Also French gave the majority of other wine terms.
Coteaux Bourguignons will replace in the French wine list of AOC (Appelation d’Origine Contrôlée) Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire. This decision has already been approved by the appropriate organization – the National Institute for origin and quality of goods (Institut National de l’Origine et de la Qualité).
Napoleonland – even the name of this theme park, which will be built near Paris in coming years, says that its creators are going to take away a part of glory of the famous Disneyland.
French DJ- legend David Guetta will give the final concerts of his tour in Paris supporting the album «Nothing But The Beat».
If you go to Paris with your children or just want to return to childhood for a short while, then we advise you to visit Parisian Museum of Dolls. It is not marked on the main tourist routes, but nevertheless, believe, good mood and lots of positive emotions are guaranteed here.
The heyday of the American group Soundgarden fell on the first half of the 1990s when musicians were considered perhaps the main “competitors” of the legendary Nirvana (and we must admit that it was quite deservedly) in the popular musical direction – “grunge”. Founded in 1984 in Seattle by Chris Cornell the band has sold over twenty million of their disks before in 1997 the musicians stoped cooperation because of creative differences, – in any event the official version says so.
The life of modern human society is simply impossible to imagine without such a phenomenon as advertising. It is difficult to say when there were the first advertisers, but we can safely say that advertising had become an important element of human development. And if we take into account the fact that Paris has been a favorite place for people of different creative professions historically, then the advertising had to become something special for this city.
The nature of every person has something special and unique, a taste for something what another may consider not interesting and useless. Tell me: do many of us take a great interest in numismatics? Probably not! But, nevertheless, there are people for whom ancient coins and medals are, perhaps, the breath of life. And these people, certainly, would visit with great pleasure one of the oldest museums in France – the Cabinet of coins and medals (Cabinet des Medailles et Monnaies) – being in Paris.
The debates about in what style Nightwish plays have being held since the beginning of its history. But this does not prevent the band to pack concert halls and stadiums in any of the cities where the famous Finnish musicians come to.
Paris is a unique city and this its feature becomes apparent not only in the hundreds of museums, palaces, stone bridges and other attractions. Streets of Paris are works of art themselves. Most of the modern Parisian streets have acquired their appearance during the time of the Emperor Napoleon and the famous city prefect Baron Haussmann. The list of Parisian streets, pretending to be a symbol of the French capital, is rather large, but in this article we would like to tell in short about the legendary Rue de Rivoli.
Somebody can say that there is no a great difference where to go to one or another city, because streets, houses, monuments, museums… remain to be at their places. The weather in rainy London in a little different from the weather in Berlin at the same time (of course, excepting famous London fog 
). However, in truth it is a very perfunctory view, every city (does not matter – New York, Warsaw, Stockholm, Mexico…) has its own unique distinctive features in summer and winter, in spring and autumn. And since our site is dedicated to Paris, today we would like to say on the merits of Paris in winter – after all, it’s winter now
