2 places to visit in Paris if you are into slow travel
Paris is full of places to visit, some more special than others. Among the many, these two are also highly recommended by lovers of slow travel, a way of exploring the world that starts from the needs of the traveler.
Montmartre
Until the early 1900s, this magnificent hill was an independent village, with mills and lush vineyards. Since it was annexed to Paris in 1860, the butte has become the favorite residence of many painters. Renoir, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cezanne are among the artists who most of all have best embodied the spirit of this space, of this district. The neighborhood can be accessed via Anvers, Abbesses, Pigalle, Blanche, and Lamarck Caulaincourt. It depends a lot on the point of the hill you want to reach.
The Center Pompidou
Inside the most vital Paris rises the incredible Pompidou Center, a museum of contemporary art and cultural center. The structure owes its name to the well-known president Georges Pompidou, who at the end of the sixties wanted to donate an active cultural center to the French capital, which could be a place of confluence for people, for demonstrations and for all energies related to artistic production. Alongside the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe, a public library, cinemas, theaters and spaces for pedagogical-recreational activities can be identified. The building that houses the center was designed in the 70s by Renzo Piano.
