🇮🇷 Few artists can boast of bringing together areas of conversation as varied as art, literature, cinema, politics, religion, society and sport. This is the case of Marjane Satrapi. With her graphic novel masterpiece “Persepolis,” adapted for film in 2007, she deals with the relationship between Iranian women, their veils and the government after the Islamic Revolution. And finally, we're talking about sport because she is the artist selected to design the official tapestry for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

⟁ Very few topics manage to combine so many interesting areas. With the Louvre, more than eight centuries of history, arts, architecture, power and politics are contained in this unique place listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It started as a defense castle, became the royal residence, then a cultural center and finally the museum you (may/certainly) have heard of.

🎨 1874 marks the birth of this essential artistic movement that is Impressionism. That year, several dissident artists decided to exhibit together their paintings, which were constantly refused at the official Salon of Academic Art. Among these artists, there are Monet, Renoir, Morisot, etc. Without knowing it, their artistic rebellion will be a major turning point in the history of art.

✍️ With masterpieces like “A Barrage Against the Pacific” and “The Lover,” Marguerite Duras made an essential name in 20th-century French literature.

🧀 A white winter evening. Breathtaking views of hundreds of miles of moonlit Alpine mountains. Inside a chalet, a fireplace crackles while heating a wheel of cheese. The cheese, barely melted, flows delicately into a plate of potatoes and cold meats. This is what a normal raclette party looks like in the Alps. Sounds nice? Have you experienced it? Come talk with us about your ideal evening in the mountains, with or without raclette. (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).

🕶️ Alain Delon played the role of Caesar in one of the film adaptations of Astérix. For a reason. Alain Delon speaks of himself with the third-person pronoun, Alain Delon is the emperor of French cinema, Alain Delon is… Alain Delon. Raised for six decades as a cinema icon alongside Brigitte Bardot or other celebrities like Marlon Brando, James Dean, etc. Delon is still looking for the role that will end his career at the top.
