In this architectural city, the buildings are all different, celebrating diversity. A rather cold climate contrasts with the warmth of its people. Two days are enough to discover this culture of living well together. At the forefront, in the Boijmans museum depot, still under construction, you can pause before an original César, or gaze at canvases displayed from the back to admire the preserved signatures of the Masters.

“Aux Grands Hommes (et Femmes) la Patrie reconnaissante” — these words engraved on the façade of the Panthéon immerse us in the history of France and of those who built the Nation. Surrounded by the Seine and the Haussmannian architecture so characteristic of the French capital. Dominating the canvas, the monument of the Latin Quarter stands at the center, framed in each corner of the work by its postcard companions: the Louvre, the Iron Lady, Notre-Dame without its spire, and the Arc de Triomphe overlooking the Champs-Élysées.
