(Re)discovery of Paris
There is no city in the world that has been written so much about it and is as beloved as the vibrant capital of France. Yet Paris will always surprise you.
A few Untamed recommendations are Musée Rodin; a magnificent museum of Rodin with also a beautiful large sculpture garden and the typical Castle Château de Chantilly with its coquettish towers, moat and French gardens.
The special bookstore 'Shakespeare and Company' has a rich history and was a popular meeting point for famous writers such as Hemingway, Scott Fitgerald, James Joyce. Writers and lovers of literature could sleep here if they made their own bed and helped out in the shop.
