Royal Welcome
CHATEAU DE VAUX LE VICOMTE
08 November 2007
   Have you ever dreamed of finding yourself in XVIIth century France? Well, now you have such a chance.
   Every year the Chateau de Vaux le Vicomte to the east of Paris welcomes its guests giving them an opportunity to relieve the magnificence and splendour of that time.
The chateau de Vaux le Vicomte is a wonderful palace built for Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV finance minister. This is a real masterpiece as it was created by a genius trio: the architect Louis Le Vau, painter and interior decorator Charles Le Brun and landscape gardener André Le Notre.
   Best people of the time, including Moliere, Corneille, Jean de la Fontaine and Madame de Sevigne, considered it an honour to lodge within the walls of the chateau.
Today it is open to public. Every year from 24 March to 11 November everybody can visit the breathtaking chateau, admire its interiors, pop into the Musee des Equipages and stroll through the first French-style garden with its beautiful fountains.
   This year the chateau guests are lucky as they can visit the "Grand Fete du 17 aout", the event recreating the banquet Nicolas Fouquet gave in honour of the Sun King on 17 August 1661.
   Unforgettable memories (as well as photos!) are guaranteed!

Breathing The “Air”
ZENITH
09 November 2007
    Breathing the "Air", as well as feeling, listening and watching it, is possible on 19 November in Paris Zenith. The French duo enjoys great success all over the world. This year the band released the fifth album "Pocket Symphony", which also became an absolute hit. Interesting to mention that the disc incorporates some of the Japanese instruments (namely a Japanese floor harp koto and a banjo-like shamisen), which Nicolas Godin has recently mastered.
   The band plays music, which combines electro, pop and disco. The group managed to awake public interest from the very start of their career by releasing such singles as "Sexy Boy" and "Kelly Watch the Stars" from the debut album "Moon Safari".
   The band doesn't arrange concerts very often, so the current event is a real treat for all group fans as well as for people who like high-quality electro/pop music.
