The Icons of the Saint George’s Chapel

At the heart of the cathedral’s ambulatory, the Chapel of Saint George and the Eastern Christians welcomes the faithful into a space of prayer dedicated to the Eastern Churches. Conceived as a strong sign of communion and peace, this chapel pays tribute to the spiritual richness of Eastern traditions—often overlooked or persecuted.

In the Eastern Christian tradition, an icon is far more than a work of art—it is a “window into eternity,” a visible reflection of the mystery of God

Around The Web

The Heart of the City

The people of Troy are quite proud of it. Tourists love to take pictures of themselves there. Children play at getting wet in the jets of water that surround it. In short, it's the city's new emblem

Visit the Castle of La Motte Tilly

The present-day Château de La Motte-Tilly was built in the 18th century by the Abbot Joseph Terray, the future Controller General of Finances of Louis XV, as a summer resort, a place for holidays and rest

At the Gateway to Paris

Situated to the west of Paris on the banks of the Seine, the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud covers 460 hectares and enjoys an exceptional setting on the outskirts of the capital. But how much do you know about the history of this holiday resort for princely, royal and imperial families

The Trattoria

Trattoria en Seine invites you on a gastronomic cruise along the Seine, where our team of talented chefs prepares traditional Italian dishes daily with carefully selected ingredients. Sit back and enjoy the authentic flavors of Italy

The Gros-Horloge

The Gros-Horloge in Rouen had caught my eye in photos long before I ever visited. But nothing could have prepared me for the breathtaking beauty of seeing it in person for the first time

The Hilltop Kingdoms of Provence

High on limestone ridges and rocky outcrops, the hilltop villages of Provence seem frozen in time. With terracotta roofs, honey-coloured stone, and winding alleys perfumed by lavender and thyme, these perched villages hold centuries of stories—Roman origins, medieval battles, and artistic revivals. Today, they offer breathtaking views, quiet charm, and a warm welcome to anyone drawn to France’s timeless countryside
