Thus, it constantly sees new exhibitions appearing in the many museums of our beautiful city. Here are the must-see exhibitions from October. “Les Fleurs du Mal” at Maison Guerlain From October 18 to November 13, 2023, Maison Guerlain presents its new exhibition Les Fleurs du Mal. An ode to the work of Charles Baudelaire. A tribute in resonance with the history of the House which this year celebrates the 170th anniversary of the Abeilles Bottle created for Empress Eugénie, philanthropist and protector of the poet.

Versailles delivers its secret “Library Treasures”

Dive into the corridors of time. The invitation cannot be refused when it comes to exploring a prestigious place. The cherry on the crown: in a royal city! We had the privilege of exploring the former Foreign Affairs and Navy Hotel. This listed historic monument contains more than 55000 works as precious as they are ancient.

Here, the book does not lend itself. We contemplate it like a relic. The world of publishing has never been a smooth river. Its history is written in the ink of controversy, blood and legal proceedings. The exhibition entitled “Treasures from the Libraries of Versailles” teaches us this. It reveals unpublished pieces of which there is sometimes only one copy in the world! This is the case of the original edition of Don Quixote presented under glass. The event exhibition gives access to the most sulphurous notebooks and books that made a big splash in…

Of these great evenings in capitals where the openings beat in its heart. And this, through all the arteries of the Marais. Design Week brought together beautiful people in the Marais in search of Point G. G like Gosserez, Marie-Bérangère of her first name, the founder of the gallery. Useful precision, for those who think about anatomy. A pleasure for the eyes rather than the flesh, this new den is about artistic creation around nature. A floral inauguration in the Marais The welcome is at once intimate, sober and vegetal. The pieces exhibited, bold, essential, exquisitely poetic. For this baptism of fire, the younger sister of the Gosserez gallery, located a stone's throw away, explores the theme of the “Pastoral Symphony”. An encounter with a floral, tree-lined and delicate melody against a cocoon background…
