The latest creation of the Atelier des Lumières takes you on the first steps of naive art in France. Spontaneous, dreamlike, sometimes childish, this new approach to painting is embodied in the works of Henri Rousseau.
At the end of the 19th century, this self-taught painter and pioneer of naive art drew his inspiration from observing in detail the vegetation and animals from elsewhere, from the greenhouses and menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.
Mocked by his contemporaries, but admired by avant-gardists such as Delaunay, Apollinaire, Picasso and Kandinsky, his idealistic painting with bright colors and clumsy perspectives would later allow him to free himself from the academic standards of the time by opening the way to modernity in painting.
Henri Rousseau makes you rediscover the Paris of the industrial era, populated by frozen characters who observe us under a sky where zeppelins and hot air balloons float. Without ever having left France, he also weaves the colorful story in the heart of a dense plant kingdom where the eyes of tigers pierce the foliage and the landscapes transport us to imaginary lands.
In this parallel universe where the reality of everyday life is invaded by a profusion of dreamlike details, the one who was nicknamed "Customs Officer" because of his job at the Paris grant, invites us to escape by dreaming with our eyes wide open, from France to a jungle with the scent of Eden.

What a magnificent structure. The view of Paris is wonderful. You have the option to take the lift or use the stairs.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

SUNSHINE ONUS

Notre Dame is worth it. It is one of the most famous attractions in Paris and a must visit attraction. It was rainy today and the queue was long. Very crowded. Enter the interior of Notre Dame, deeply attracted by the exquisite religious works of the interior decoration, statues, murals, tapestries and so on. Taking a lot of photos and reading a lot of religious knowledge. Worth a visit.

Palace of Versailles

Historic buildings

We entered the Palace of Versailles smoothly at 11:30 with our reservation tickets. There was a queue at the entrance, but the order was good. The interior of the palace is magnificent, the Hall of Mirrors is magnificent, and the ceiling murals are lifelike. Every step can feel the glory of the French monarchy. After visiting the main palace, we strolled to the back garden. The neatly trimmed tree-lined paths and the symmetrical fountains complement each other. At the top of the hour, the fountains gushed out, accompanied by classical music, as if traveling back to the era of Louis XIV. At noon, we had a simple picnic by the Grand Canal, the lake was sparkling, and swans were swimming leisurely. In the afternoon, we visited the Grand Trianon and the Petit Trianon. The architectural style is more refined and intimate, and closer to Marie Antoinette&#39;s daily life. The day&#39;s itinerary is rich and fulfilling, full of surprises and touching.
