Local Customs: Opera de Paris
  • Tip Rating:
  • France - me and Sherin near the Opera
  • me and Sherin near the Opera

  • The gorgeous Opera de Paris Garnier, as I said, it is wonderful as from the inside and outside, the price of the normal Ticket with no discount to see the Opera inside is about 6 Euro's, but being a student is good, as if you show your Student card you will immediately have discounts to 3 Euro's,
    Profit when you can and when it is possible!

    Local Customs: Sculptures in Versailles
  • Tip Rating:
  • In the Grand Appartements of the King, the Sculptures of the Gardens of Versailles made the discours d4apologie du governement royal!
    it is kind of hard today to search for it, as the changements of the programs were even in the period of Louis XIV.
    That's the good definition of Versailles indeed!
    with the Chateau, Gardens, Fountains, and Sculpters, Cathedrals, Theaters and Parlement, I wonder if we can find such a similar place on Earth out of France,
    Versailles is unforgetable!

    Local Customs: Wine
  • Tip Rating:
  • Yes the Wine is the most important and famous thing in this Region, it is the water for the Bourgognian people, and they are so lucky to drink it every day, from the very first taste any ordinary person I mean not expert, will estimate the great wonderful taste of it, there are plenty of great famous sorts such as: Beaujolis, Cote de Nuit, and others, the name of the wine comes from the name of the city or village made in!
    Best White wine I tatsted was Domaines des Charnays!
