Paris full immersion: days 3 and 4

Ile de la Cité: starting with the Sainte-Chapelle, hidden within the walls of the Palace of Justice. A real masterpiece of Gothic art consacrated in 1248, after 6 years of work: inside there are statues, capitals and many other ornaments, but the stained glass windows illustrating the various episodes of the Bible definitely leave you speechless.These are on the top floor, including brochures with explanations. … Continue reading Paris full immersion: days 3 and 4

La Habana, blast from the past

I will never forget Havana city: unique, warm, lively, and especially COLORED. In the past there have been many battles and revolutions, then it became a tourist destination in the 20s. The tour started: the first impression was not the best, seeing so many dilapidated buildings. We arrived at the first stop: Plaza San Francisco de Asis, just across the harbor, with a marble fountain with … Continue reading La Habana, blast from the past
