For example, we’ve opened a new temporary exhibition called “Islands Stories” a few months ago, where we give the impression that the visitor is really travelling through those little paradises! The aim is to make people be sensitive to the climate changes those islands have to face up with, and discover the richness, the diversity of life by special species full of colours. See Nausicaa for details. See summary details for Boulogne-sur-Mer Touques (Calvados, Normandy)Be aware of your surroundings in this town ..

It owes its existence to two passionate collectors: Jeanne and Maurice Magnin who assembled a remarkable collection of paintings, drawings and objects which they donated to the state in 1938. According to their wishes, the museum has retained the atmosphere of a private collection and a lived-in home. It displays works from the Italian School, Schools of the North and the French School, from the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 19th century. It was in the first public garden to be created in Dijon that the Dijon engineer, Henri Darcy designed a reservoir to supply the town with drinking water in 1838. In honour of this work, the architect Emile Sagot built a neo-Renaissance monument which survives to this day. In 1880 the architect Félix Vionnois laid out a garden on top of the reservoir, reflecting the taste of the time. This haven of peace is much frequented by the townspeople and the many tourists flocking to Dijon. There is a lot to see and do in Dijon and it’s easy to find your own way around town. Just follow the Owl’s Trail or “Le Parcours de la Chouette“. The trail is named after the stone owl at the Notre-Dame church. Look for the tiny owl on the facade of the church and don’t forget to stroke it for good luck and to ensure you will return!
