Essere parigino non vuol dire esserci nato ma esserci rinato. Sacha Guiltry
Parigi è una delle città più affascinanti del mondo, ogni anno attrae milioni di turisti e curiosi provenienti da ogni parte del globo che accorrono per ammirarne la bellezza e le opere. La foto alla Tour Eiffel, un giro per le vivaci vie del Quartiere Latino, l’immancabile salita verso la meraviglia del Sacre-Coeur o una cena romantica sul Bateau-Mouche… Ogni visitatore tipico della Ville Lumière non può non aver sperimentato il fascino di tutte queste cose nell’arco del suo soggiorno.
E poi c’è lui… Il turista atipico o, per meglio definirlo usando le parole di Guiltry, colui che è nato altrove ma che a Parigi ha scoperto il significato di appartenenza. Ovviamente anche lui ha visitato tutte le mete prima citate, con la differenza di averle fatte ogni volta in una diversa stagione dell’anno.
Perché la Tour Eiffel che svetta come un faro in autunno illuminando il passaggio ai suoi piedi o il Sacre-Coeur sotto un manto di neve sono un’esperienza che lascia brividi e sensazioni uniche.
Il turista che appartiene a Parigi tanto da sentirsene quasi un cittadino è colui che ha la sua biblioteca di fiducia nel circondario di Notre-Dame, quello che non dimentica mai una visita nella sua galleria d’arte del cuore a Montmarte e che una cena nel suo ristorante preferito a Saint-Germaine-des-Prés non la mancherebbe per nulla al mondo.
Parigi, per me, è una seconda casa, forse è il luogo dove mi sento più a casa in assoluto perché lì risiede il mio cuore. Per anni ho sempre raggiunto la Francia in aereo, ma lassù, tra le nuvole, i raggi del sole o la pioggia, mi sono sempre persa uno spettacolo che non ha prezzo… Quello di poter gustare un paesaggio che sa rapirti, che ti fa venire voglia di saltare giù e di fermarti in ogni luogo per giorni, a curiosare, scoprire, immergerti e sporcarti le mani come uno del luogo. La Francia è madre di terre magiche, sensuali e avvolgenti e solo grazie al TGV (il Train à Grande Vitesse) si possono conoscere nuovi posti da esplorare in cui lasciare un pezzo di sé.
A un passo dall’esodo verso le mete vacanziere, il turista a caccia di last-minute o semplicemente di una vacanza alternativa si trova davanti a una moltitudine di scelte… E proprio per questo, da turista atipica parigina, quale sono stata per anni in maniera indiscussa, vi voglio consigliare Parigi. Forse non tutti sapete infatti che Parigi nel mese di agosto si trasforma in una vera e propria capitale della musica. Tutti i generi musicali possibili radunano adulti e giovani a Parigi che, oltre a godere di tutte le meraviglie immortali che la città offre, si possono scatenare al suono di ogni ritmo con gioia e positività.
SNCF (Società Nazionale delle Ferrovie Francesi) la società leader nella mobilità e nella logistica a livello globale che basa la propria storia nel settore ferroviario, e il portale viaggi Voyages-sncf.com, propongono di raggiungere Parigi in TGV partendo da Milano, Torino, Vercelli, Novara che, con il loro treno ad alta velocità, permette di arrivare nella capitale nel più rapido tempo possibile.
Personalmente amo in modo particolare viaggiare con il TGV. Posso ammirare il paesaggio con una tazza di caffè au lait fumante, mentre i miei pensieri si perdono sulla prossima meta in cui il treno potrebbe portarmi. Non ho un limite di peso per i miei bagagli, non devo presentarmi ore prima ma poco prima dell’arrivo del treno, mi sento al sicuro con i controlli e al fermo alla Dogana la gendarmerie che sale è gentile, cortese, silenziosa come angeli custodi. Posso muovermi in comodità da centro città a centro città e poi, lasciatemi ripetere per favore, ma il paesaggio che si può ammirare… Lascia senza fiato e nessuna parola è in grado di poterlo descrivere.
E appena arrivati a destinazione, è tempo di muoversi a ritmo di musica!
Dal 1 agosto al 13 settembre, gli amanti della musica di Beethoven, Mozart e Chopin nella rinomata cornice del Parc Floral, nel cuore del Bosco di Vincennes, potranno godere una serie di concerti di musica classica che promettono emozioni senza fine.
Gli appassionati del live jazz potranno presenziare all’ American Jazz Festiv’Halles in calendario fino al 19 agosto al Sunset Sunside, dove calcheranno il palco giovani talenti e vecchie glorie del panorama mondiale.
Per chi conserva nel cuore la 3 giorni di Woodstock o per coloro che avrebbero voluto parteciparvi, non potete assolutamente perdervi dal 26 al 28 agosto, nel Parco di Saint-Cloud, il Rock en Seine. Tantissimi gruppi e cantanti di fama internazionale prendono parte a questo evento unico e adrenalinico.
Per prenotare il vostro viaggio su TGV per raggiungere questi festival potete:
Vi invito inoltre a visitare il sito www-voyages-sncf.com in quanto Parigi non è l’unica meta in cui TGV potrà portarvi e potrebbe essere un interessante spunto per le vostre prossime vacanze, autunnali o invernali o di fine estate.
E quando starete prenotando il vostro viaggio con TGV ricordatevi:
Godetevi la meta apprezzandone il viaggio.

In Paris, for me, everything has a different taste. From breakfast in a bistrot, to walk along the Seine through a presentation of a collection of the upcoming season.
Les Petits Joueurs is one of those brands that make the whole thing even more special because of the history that makes up its birth.
Maria Sole Cecchi infact is a strong, decisive and admirable girl. A person who believed in herself and in her dream and the birth of Les Petits Joueurs reminded of a fairy tale. When she lived in Paris, Maria Sole had been invited to a party but didn’t want to show up with a bag that could have anyone. With a couple of little Lego bricks in her hand she started to apply them on an old clutch composing the word LOVE.
From there, the success.
She moved to Brazil, where she became a true IT girl and style icon and where she started her brand. At the same time arrived the covers of popular magazines and her creations were worn by major celebrities and socialites. Thanks to the openness of the country and its livelihood to young artists, through ABEST, Les Petits Joueurs managed to establish itself in the rest of the world and that is positioned as the flagship brand of young fashion scene. A brand that has a huge talent and that we hear about for many years to come.
The collection of Les Petits Joueurs bags F / W 2016-2017 GEOMETRIC GLAM , presented in Paris, it is ironic, glamorous and with geometric and vibrant details. You can find the iconic model Alex word LOVE, with beades fringed and with eyes and mini charms to attach to the bag. Unmissable in this collection the Bunny model, worn by Kyle Jenner.
Pop and captivating are just some of the reasons for which having an LPJ in your wardrobe is a must.
1) LPJ is an Italian product, Florentine DOC, and then purchasing one of these bags basically means that you’ll be carrying the Italian excellence in the field of manufacturing and quality. A feature very important …
2) A witty and quirky bag reminds you that life should always be taken with joy, without taking yourself too seriously.
3) Having an IT bag means you have a statement piece that will last over time and that will make you feel unique every single time you use it. Or you admire it hang in your closet.
4) LPJ has a range of bags suitable for any occasion and looks, that highlight every simple, easy and minimal outfits. A true master key to always be cool.
5) LPJ is the representation of how every dream should be pursued, prosecuted and strongly desired. For the Maria Sole which is in each of us, struggling to emerge and see her desire reality. Les Petits Joueurs and Maria Sole Cecchi represent our lighthouse, becoming the manifesto of a generation that wants to do it, that crosses the borders of a country sometimes too closed and elitist, and who has the courage to think and say I do it.

Niente mi rende più viva ed eccitata che indossare quelle preziose creazioni di un designer emergente.
Dietro il capo stesso, posso vedere e sentire la forza, l’amore, la passione e il potere. E’ come un brivido sulla mia pelle che penetra in profondità all’interno, mescolandosi con il mio sangue.
Mi trasmette energia e poesia, beatitudine e creatività.
Dio benedica i nuovi designer come Ksenia Schnaider.

Paris, Paris, Paris.
Among viennoiseries and a glass of white wine, between a walk to get lost through those alleys that smell of home, in Paris I find my happiness.
The sense of belonging to a place is not given from domicile but from the unique sensation of being enveloped by the benevolent warmth that only the home of the heart knows how to give.
And you Paris… You are always for me.

Paris fashion week is in absolute my favorite one. Either because it takes place in the city of the heart, either because the allure of fashion shows taste like haute couture even if it comes to ready-to-wear and also because going to Paris at any time of the year is always a good idea, personally the experience of the Paris fashion week is always accompanied by pathos and joy.
For the second time in a row, I had the pleasure and the honor of having Vueling as a partner of this wonderful adventure.
Vueling is the younger, fresh and social Spanish flag company on the market. Following their motto “We are a company of concrete people and we are convinced that there is always something to improve.” Vueling aims of efficiency, availability, non-conformism and a good dose of humility.

With Vueling infact you can bring into the cabin a maximum of 2 pets and so your pets will not fly in the aircraft hold but next to you!

Milan.
Milan and its charm at any time of the year, which, however, during the fashion week is accentuated even more. It can be for the air full of fashion, for the street style that is catching everybody or for the new trends for next season that can be seen, the fact is that Milan is the undisputed capital, the IT place where you should be.
Shows to run to, presentations and events that you cannot miss, stay in town becomes imperative to be able to rest between a meeting to another and for different changes of clothes.
My home away from home was the Hotel Manin, a 4 stars hotel located in the heart of the city of Milan. Near the fashion district and with a spectacular view over Giardini Indro Montanelli park, this hotel ranks among the best in which to stay when you are in Milan, both for business and for pleasure.
Featuring 124 rooms, including 7 junior suites and 1 suite with jacuzzi on the terrace, and is property for over a century of the Colombo family, every room of this loxury hotel is equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV LC and free Wi-Fi. For fitness lovers even far from home, there is a gym with free access from 7:00AM until 11:00PM. There are four meeting rooms with various ceiling projectors and microphones and inside the hotel there are the Manin Garden, my favorite place of the whole structure, and the Manin Restaurant with its regional, Italian and international cuisine.
I would like to make a special mention of the Garden. I found a place of great peace in the Milanese jungle, it came down a gentle drizzle and, closing my eyes, seemed to be in a Zen garden where you can meditate. Don’t miss a visit, if you stay there or if you go to have lunch at their restaurant.
Real gem of the hotel is the Panoramic Suite & Pool which, in addition to offering a staggering view of the top floor of the Duomo and the Indro Montanelli Gardens, is a real jewel of luxury and prestige. Equipped with a large terrace with veranda including a small pool with whirlpool (heated in winter) for two is the perfect cadeau for a romantic luxury weekend for your sweetheart.
Imagine being in your room and decide to surprise your girlfriend / boyfriend with a midnight swim … The pool completely decorated with lighted candles with petals floating on the water and two glasses of champagne overlooking the Duomo. No doubt you will open a permanent break in the heart of the other person.
So if you have to stay in Milan for business or pleasure, I recommend the Hotel Manin without any doubt. It ‘s the perfect choice for location and quality of services offered!

One of the two most fashionable and glamorous months of the year came in the middle of its journey, with stop in Milan.
Eccentric clothing, must have accessories and trends that must be discovered and observed carefully, as each season the fashion capitals have the eyes of the world focused on. The catwalks are the masters and around them wheel the corollary of trendsetters, influencers and photographers.
And the latter “import” from the streets what is most hot and cool that can be seen in circulation. The art, the creativity and passion of street style photographers absolutely requires the support of a powerful and decisive camera.
Perfect is the jewel created by Sony, the v that promises high performance and flawless results. With a fine and fast focus and with the last generation autofocus, this camera gives optimal results even in moving subjects, enhancing the sharpness and intensity.
The α77 II display tilts to better adapt to vertical shots and more imaginative angles while the built-in image stabilization works even when the shutter is pressed halfway to focus. Perfect for street shoots thanks to its maximum resistance to dust and moisture, it is also an ideal tool to shoot videos with the continuous phase detection. I recommend trying the continuous tracking and focusing on moving subjects, you’ll be impressed.
BIONZ X ™ processor lets you get unmatched detail and noise reduction and on it can be mounted mount lenses A. The lens that I use and that you see in the picture has a perspective 1650.
Nothing beats this unique product of Sony.
