A stay in Amsterdam, following the discovery of the built heritage and landscapes cultural Paris, the Musée d'Orsay, the concert in Warsaw to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Frederic Chopin, a visit to Mont Saint Michel.
Amsterdam
A weekend of January in Amsterdam, staying near Leidseplein neighborhood gathering crowd in Amsterdam and his youth around the Place de Leiden. An area which offers a density of theaters, cinemas, cafes where hashish is still available with the command of a cafe.

The next day, French Mass inside the Begijnhof, if well maintained and restored it looks like a movie set. It is a small village closed to the left of Spui, after crossing Spuistraat in which one enters after passing the small door that overlooks St. Ursula. A small village consisting of old houses closed and a small church that encircles a lawn planted with trees.

It is not the thick fog in London that Monet and Sisley had at the Thames, but a subtle harmony of a silent poetry. This painting is so exemplary of the approach pass impressionistic nature through the screen of a visual sensation, here modified by atmospheric conditions.
the Musée d'Orsay, was also held on those days, a temporary exhibition of Vincent Van Gogh, like an echo to our stay in Amsterdam.
