A Tour of Pierre Cardin’s Bubble Palace

By Laird Borrelli-Persson

When the fashion pack descended upon the French Riviera for Dior’s resort collection , their spaceship, in the form of the Palais Bulles, aka the Bubble Palace, was waiting. This futuristic, amorphous pile, built between 1975 and 1989, is the invention of the Hungarian architect Antti Lovag. No fan of right angles, Lovag framed the idyllic turquoise, white, and green tropical landscape in rounds and ovals. Though Pierre Cardin was technically the second owner of this marvel, Palais Bulles seems to have been custom-built for him—he long associated himself with Space Age Futurism and appropriately had his first solo success, in 1954, with a bubble dress. Cardin’s presence yesterday was especially apt, as he was head of coats and suits at Christian Dior when the designer launched his house in 1947 with the New Look.

The resort collection was shown in rooms almost clear of furniture, ensuring the focus was on the clothes. Just how one might decorate a bubble palace? With round beds, evidently, and murals, and modern furniture, some of which was designed by Cardin himself. Here, an Instagram house tour of the Palais Bulles.

Take a Look Inside the Iconic Bubble Palace

More than four decades since it was conceived by architect Antti Lovag, the radically beautiful Palais Bulles remains as awe-inspiring as ever

Nestled on the rocky cliffs of the Massif de l’Esterel in the French Riviera , the interconnecting terracotta spheres that make up Palais Bulles embody Antti Lovag’s unconventional architectural philosophy, in which straight lines are viewed as “an aggression against nature.” Everything from the porthole windows and sinuous walkways to the luxurious beds are round, spherical, curved. “As you move through the property from bubble to bubble, you experience a wonderful interplay of volume, from cozy and intimate to space on a grand scale,” says Angie Delattre, head of the Prestige department at Michaël Zingraf Real Estate , an Affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. “It’s impossible not to have a strong emotional reaction to Palais Bulles. It’s playful, surprising, sensual. In perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape, sea, and sky.”

Commissioned in the mid-1970s by French industrialist Pierre Bernard, the estate remained uncompleted at the time of his death. It wasn’t until Pierre Cardin chanced upon it that Lovag’s vision was realized. “As the couturier behind the bubble dress and satellite cape, Cardin was deeply inspired by spherical forms,” says Delattre. “So when he saw Palais Bulles he experienced a coup de coeur.” 

“As the couturier behind the bubble dress and satellite cape, Cardin was deeply inspired by spherical forms.”

After acquiring the property in 1991, he worked with Lovag to turn the residence into a palace “beyond time, beyond convention.” The property is not an official historical monument, but Delattre believes any requests to alter it would be refused on the grounds that it is an important work of architecture.

Palais Bulles has served as the location for myriad glamorous events, from films to fashion shows, including the Dior 2015 Resort Collection. It is also the subject of a sumptuous book, The Palais Bulles of Pierre Cardin by Jean-Pascal Hesse (Assouline editions). The estate has more than 12,900 square feet of living space that opens to a generous terrace and large infinity pool, positioned to magical effect between two of the Iles de Lérins. Add to that 180-degree sea views, suites individually decorated by contemporary artists including Patrice Breteau and Jérôme Tisserand—Cardin’s “gallery of living art”—and it’s easy to understand why this property has welcomed so many illustrious visitors in its time.

“More than a residence, it is a piece of art.”

But experiencing Palais Bulles offers more profound joys. “For Pierre Cardin, it’s a creative retreat that gives him energy and sustenance,” says Delattre. “More than a residence, it is a piece of art.”

What Will Happen to Pierre Cardin’s Iconic Palais Bulles?

By Nadja Sayej

The French Riviera is luxurious, but nothing quite compares to the Palais Bulles . The “Bubble Palace,” as it’s known, is the most extravagant—and eclectic—home on the French Riviera. Set in Théoule-sur-Mer near Cannes, it was built in 1975—taking 14 years to construct—by Hungarian architect Antti Lovag, before it was bought in 1991 by Pierre Cardin. But now that the legendary French fashion designer passed away on December 29, what will happen to this iconic private home?

The home was listed in 2017 for $420 million, but it didn’t sell. It is known to local real estate brokers as the place nobody wants to buy , despite being an incredible masterpiece in its own right. It has been on the market for years, but Christie’s International Real Estate sales agent Michael Zingraf declined to comment whether Palais Bulles was still on the market.

The 13,000-square-foot home has 29 rooms, including 10 bedrooms and 11 baths, and the villa has its own private outdoor auditorium that can seat 500 people. Cardin would rent it out to vacation groups for $33,200 a day.

Cardin never lived at the mansion but instead nearby, as the space was used just for entertaining. In 2017, Zingraf told The New York Times that it’s a work of art to be cherished. “Owning it is not only a question of money,” he said. “It needs someone who will fall in love with it, who shares and understands Mr. Cardin’s vision.” Hugh Wade-Jones, managing director of Enness Global Mortgages , says that the future remains unknown for Palais Bulles.

“The Palais Bulles is undoubtedly an iconic piece of real estate; however, the predominant opinion is that the property is a bit of a white elephant,” says Wade-Jones. “It’s architecturally incredible but largely impractical for residential living and would require a huge amount of work to remedy that.”

But that doesn’t mean he believes someone shouldn’t take on the task. “It would be an extreme shame to see such a beautiful piece of real estate fall by the wayside, and so perhaps a repurposing within the commercial market can be found,” he adds. “Unfortunately, it’s ultimately useless in its current form.”

The home is no doubt a work of art. It has round, bubble-like forms, which ties into Cardin’s own futuristic style of ’60 mod-era fashion design. Cardin said of the Palais Bulles, “This palace has become my own bit of paradise. Its cellular forms have long reflected the outward manifestations of the image of my creations. It is a museum where I exhibit the works of contemporary designers and artists.”

Models walk the runway during a Dior fashion show in 2016.

With stunning views of the Mediterranean from a rocky cliff in the Cote D’Azur, it’s a cultural hub, in that it has been rented out for Christian Dior fashion shows, Cannes Film Festival parties, and private galas. But should it become a public museum? Perhaps.

Cristiano Raimondi, a Monte Carlo-based independent curator, says that the Palais Bulles is part of a long history of artist homes along the French Riviera. Henri Matisse made nearby Nice his home in the 1930s, while artist Jean Cocteau lived at the Villa Santo Sospir on Cap Ferrat for months (roughly a one-hour drive east of Palais Bulles), even hand-painting the walls.

Furniture designer and architect Eileen Gray’s white , minimal, modern villa built in 1929 is along the French Riviera, too (and was an obsession of Le Corbusier), and Pablo Picasso’s villa in Mougins still stands today, though privately owned. There’s the culture hub the Prince Pierre Foundation , founded by the Prince of Monaco, too. “We have a lot of villas with a lot of history down here in the coast, and artists are invited to do projects and make artwork that responds to the history and the place, which I think is good,” says Raimondi. “It’s a tradition that reveals how life has changed. If those places can be open to the public, all the better. My opinion is that Palais Bulles deserves to be open and visited. Even better if there is the possibility to do research, artist residencies, or site-specific projects, or have visits from architecture and design schools, for students, as it’s an important piece of architecture.”

The architect responsible for this iconic space once declared the straight line to be “an aggression against nature.” 

The architect, Lovag, first designed the Palais Bulles as an experiment. He saw architecture as a “form of play—spontaneous, joyful, full of surprise,” and hated the straight line. He once called the straight line “an aggression against nature,” which was radical for its time.

Richard Zarzi , an artist who has lived in Cannes for 20 years, has hope for the next owner of Palais Bulles. “I would like the new owner to open it up to the public as a venue to be used for parties and the Cannes Film Festival,” said Zarzi. “The building is historic and an architectural beauty so worth showing off.

“Pierre Cardin was a great designer; his avant-garde style and spaces were legendary,” he adds. “He had a really long and beautiful life.”

Pierre Cardin’s Palais Bulles: The Architecture of Antti Lovag’s Dreamworld

Nestled on a rocky cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Palais Bulles, or “Palace of Bubbles,” defies architectural conventions. Constructed between 1979 and 1989, this iconic structure was the brainchild of Hungarian architect Antti Lovag, later purchased by the French-Italian fashion designer Pierre Cardin in 1992. The Palais Bulles not only serves as a residential space but also has transformed into a stage for high-fashion shows, Cannes Film Festival parties, and editorial photography.

Living in a round space changes one’s way of thinking. – Antti Lovag

Palais Bulles Photographs

The Design Philosophy: Habitology & Human Nature

Antti Lovag saw architecture as “a form of play” – spontaneous, full of surprises, and fundamentally focused on how humans inhabit spaces. Coined by Lovag himself, the term ‘habitology’ encapsulates this philosophy.

Lovag found the straight line to be “an aggression against nature,” emphasizing that human movement and vision work in circles. According to Lovag, “Conviviality is a circular phenomenon.” This focus on circular and spherical forms led to the complex web of bubbles that constitute the Palais Bulles. To Lovag, the circle is not just a geometric shape but a representation of human nature and interaction.

Creating the distinctive shapes of Palais Bulles required unconventional methods. Lovag used steel frames, lightweight mesh, and rods to create the spherical shells. These were hand-rolled into position and then covered with concrete. His approach was as radical as his design; he often avoided blueprints and involved his clients directly in the placement of elements like windows.

The layout of Palais Bulles is an exploration of sensual and spatial experiences. With a total area of 1,200 square meters spanning over six floors, the palace includes 29 rooms, 11 bathrooms, and 10 bedrooms. Clients were even allowed to choose the placement of windows, emphasizing Lovag’s collaborative approach. The intersecting spherical forms create spaces that are both disorienting and awe-inspiring.

Since its construction, the Palais Bulles has seen various transformations. It served as a platform for fashion shows by design giants like Pierre Cardin and Dior. It underwent a five-year renovation in 2015 by French architect and academic Odile Decq. In 2017, it hit the market for a staggering €350 million.

Antti Lovag may not have had a long list of clients, but his work at Palais Bulles has made an indelible impact on architectural thought. The architect explored the relationship between human bodies and architectural forms. Palais Bulles stands as a testament to the architect’s radical approach to space and form, challenging conventional norms while embracing the organic and sensual.

In an era obsessed with straight lines and utilitarian design, the Palais Bulles serves as a provocative counterpoint, encouraging us to rethink our preconceptions about space, form, and the very act of dwelling.

About Antti Lovag

Antti Lovag was a Hungarian-born French architect best known for his avant-garde, organic architectural style that defied conventional norms. He gained fame for his creation of the Palais Bulles (Bubble Palace) near Cannes, France, a residence characterized by its round, interconnected bubble-like spaces. Lovag’s work was grounded in the belief that traditional architectural forms, particularly straight lines and right angles, were at odds with human nature and movement. His designs, which often incorporated curves and open spaces, sought to bring architecture into harmony with the human experience, encapsulated in his belief that “living in a round space changes one’s way of thinking.”

The Bubble Palace: A Tour of Pierre Cardin’s Futuristic Home, Palais Bulles

A looks around Pierre Cardin's home of interconnected terracotta igloos

“Clinging to the rocky Estérel, this palace has become my own bit of paradise. Its cellular forms have long reflected the outward manifestations of the image of my creations. It is a museum where I exhibit the works of contemporary designers and artists.” – Pierre Cardin on Palais Bulles (Bubble Palace)  

Italian-born fashion designer Pierre Cardin (2 July 1922 – 29 December 2020) created space-age designs in wool and poured women and men inside them. A love of movement, shape and architecture is evidenced not just in Cardin’s clothing but also his buildings, like the retro-futuristic 60-storey Palais Lumière he wanted built in Venice (it was shelved in 2013) and his home at Théoule-sur-Mer on the Côte d’Azur near Cannes, the red-hued, pustular Palais Bulles.

Constructed between 1975 and 1989 by Hungarian architect Antti Lovag, Bubble Palace sprawls over six levels on a rolling rocky outcrop of the volcanic Massif de L’Esterel.

Cardin bought the place as a holiday home in 1992 after the death of its original French owner, Pierre Bernard. He transformed it into a 10-bedroom “architectural folly” of interconnected terracotta igloos, and for two decades hosted parties and fashion events at the 10-bedroom mansion.

Pierre Cardin’s Retro-Futuristic Bubble Palace in Cannes Is On the Market

On a rocky outcrop of the Massif de L’Esterel mountain range on the French Riveria, the iconic Le Palais Bulles, or Bubble Palace, has resurfaced on the market following the recent passing of its owner, legendary designer Pierre Cardin.

The 13,000-square-foot Le Palais Bulles is embedded into a cliff at at Théoule-sur-Mer near Cannes.

The 2.1-acre property is spread out across six levels and includes gardens and three pools.

Cardin, who purchased the property in 1992 as a private events venue, was the second owner of the palatial property comprising a 13,000-square-foot luxury home with 29 rooms, a 500-seat open-air amphitheater overlooking the Mediterranean, a reception hall, and other amenities housed within a series of interconnected domes that inspired its name.

The cave-like domes were built from reinforced wire mesh spray-coated with a concrete mix.

"Its curves and its softness," said Cardin in Jean-Paul Hesse’s book Le Palais Bulles de Pierre Cardin , "makes me see the shapes of a woman, of a mother. That’s why I feel good there."

Le Palais Bulles includes 11 baths and 10 bedrooms, each individually decorated by different contemporary artists including the likes of Jerome Tisserand, Daniel You, and François Chauvin.

Constructed over 14 years and completed in 1989, the curvaceous compound was the magnum opus of avant-garde Hungarian architect Antti Lovag, who designed the home for one of his biggest patrons, French industrialist Pierre Bernard. Lovag’s interest in spherical architecture stemmed from his belief that straight lines are an "aggression against nature" and that curves were better suited to the mobility of man.

Le Palais Bulles was originally built for Pierre Bernard, who also owned the Maison Bernard, Lovag’s first "bubble" house in Théoule-sur-Mer. Unlike Le Palais Bulles, Maison Bernard is open to the public for guided visits and hosts an artists’ residence program.

The window pictured here next to the pool slides down to follow Lovag's concept of continuous circulation.

Lovag's celebration of circulation and motion is also represented in this three-tiered waterfall feature.

Although Cardin never lived in the sculptural house since he owned other property nearby, the legendary designer told the French newspaper  Le Figaro  that he had "known nothing but happiness [here], including magical evenings and unforgettable parties. I’ve hosted many celebrities here." 

The central palm terrace is perfectly positioned for views of the sea and for hosting outdoor events.

After purchasing the property, Cardin added a 500-seat outdoor amphitheater that overlooks the Mediterranean. A large reception hall is located beneath the amphitheater.

In addition to hosting star-studded after-parties for the Cannes Film Festival and major fashion galas such as the Dior Cruise Collection 2016, Cardin rented out Le Palais Bulles for commercials and other events for approximately €30,000 a day.

The furnishings and artworks, which include custom creations by Lovag and Cardin, mimic the curvaceous architecture and are included in the sale.

The labyrinthine interior has few dividing walls and doors to allow rooms to merge together.

"Clinging to the rocky Estérel, this palace has become my own bit of paradise," said Cardin. "Its cellular forms have long reflected the outward manifestations of the image of my creations. It is a museum where I exhibit the works of contemporary designers and artists."

Red Carrera marble floors used throughout match the domes’ dusty pink hue.

Le Palais Bulles was originally listed in 2016 with an asking price of €350 million, which made it one of the most expensive properties in Europe at the time. The current price is undisclosed.

The porthole-like windows stem from Lovag's studies in naval architecture.

Skylights inserted into the tops of the domes can be opened up for access to the roof.

The French Ministry of Culture has listed Le Palais Bulles among its national historic monuments since 1999.

Le Palais Bulles is listed by Christie’s International Real Estate.

AD Classics: Palais Bulles / Antti Lovag

• Written by Megan Sveiven

• Architects: Antti Lovag
• Year Completion year of this architecture project Year:  1989
• Photographs Photographs: Ken Sparkes , Sepientia , Modern Design Interior

Text description provided by the architects. Fittingly named Palais Bulles, or "Palace of Bubbles," this residence represents the fundamental ideas of architect Antti Lovag, who views architecture as a "form of play- spontaneous, joyful, full of surprise." Built in 1989, it rests on a rocky cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Also known as the Pierre Cardin house, the bubble-f0rms of the architecture have created the most visible and well-known structures of Antti Lovag. 

The backdrop of many editorial fashion photographs, Palais Bulles is often rented out for film festival parties and other grand events. Although most reactions to the building are visual, an important aspect of architecture in Lovag's designs are how they can be inhabited, a term he coined as habitology.

"Whether for economic reasons or lack of technical solutions, human beings have confined themselves to cubes full of dead ends and angles that impede our movement and break our harmony." This explains Lovag's interest in the complexity of spherical and spheroidal rooms that constitute Palais Bulles. To Lovag, the straight line is "an aggression against nature," human nature to be more specific.

Lovag's point is that the motion of our arms and legs throughout space trace circles, similar to a circular field of vision. "Conviviality is a circular phenomenon. 

The circle structures the way human life is carried out." He explored this idea throughout his career, building prototypes and experimental structures that reflected his theories on the human body and it's occupation of space.

The spherical forms create sensuous interior spaces when they intersect, a bit foreign to the architect's eye but beautiful nonetheless. Placement of the windows are typically chosen by the clients of Lovag directly on site, without any prior considerations to where he wanted to feature them.

Another reason why the circle is so present in his architecture is because it "is the simplest construction; it has just one dimension, the radius." This is unsurprisingly transformed into the three dimensional sphere, which is the lightest, strongest, most material-efficient form of them all.

Lovag's radical spherical building block is a foil to the known rules of architecture and the known conventions of the standard orthogonal system. Although his work is admired by many, Lovag does not have a long list of clients. This may have something to do with his philosophy, three conditions he respects; "I don't know what it's going to be like, I don't know when it's going to be finished, and I don't know how much it's going to cost."

All spheres are constructed of lightweight mesh and rods, which are literally rolled around by Lovag and his accomplices (or clients) until they feel that the placement is appropriate. 

Concrete is then poured around the spherical frames to create what can be seen in the Palais Bulles. Lovag is not in the field for the money, but instead to pursue his passions in understanding architecture and the human body. Currently 90 years old, Lovag is still designing as he continues to study the nature of Man.

Pierre Cardin: The fabulous history of Palais Bulles, the designer’s incredible residence on the French Riviera

In Théoule-sur-Mer, Palais Bulles does not go unnoticed. This house that used to belong to Pierre Cardin reigns above the most beautiful corniche in the world, in the Massif de l’Estérel facing the Mediterranean. Avant-garde and utopian architecture to discover right away…

A feat designed by Hungarian architect Antti Lovag, Palais Bulles can be spotted from the coastline of the French Riviera and the magnificent cliff road cut into the rock below. You can’t miss this huge bubble house, composed of a multitude of ochre spheres that overlooks the Bay of Cannes and the Lérins Islands, offering a breathtaking view. Built between 1975 and 1984, this property has gone down in history due to its singular architecture and famous owner, couturier Pierre Cardin.

The iconic villa of the futurist architect Antti Lovag

With Palais Bulles, the nonconformist designer Antti Lovag, who liked to describe himself as a “habitologist”, gave body to the principles of organic architecture , which sees a habitat as an evolving project that should transform in line with its inhabitants’ wishes. The idea is simple: a house is first and foremost a living space shaped for the needs of its occupants. “Architecture does not interest me. It is humanity, the human space that interests me – creating envelopes around human needs. I work like a tailor, I make made-to-measure envelopes. Envelopes that can be reshaped at will,” he said.

From the gardens to the living room and the bedrooms, there are no angles allowed here: all is rounded lines, peace and pleasure. In this extravaganza of curved spaces, living areas coexist and blend together: the dining room with its rotating table opens at its centre onto the terrace, the mezzanine resembles a hammock, the corridors feature benches and are pierced with oculi. The house seems labyrinthine and strolling from room to room inevitably leads to daydreaming. Closer up, the arrangement of Palais Bulles’ differently sized spherical volumes creates a home that evokes a group of small troglodyte habitats with windows in every direction to allow light to enter. Children of the seventies will also recognise the inspiration for the cult book based on the Barbapapa family, who modelled their house on its lines, a real criticism of council estate architecture .

A paradise for Pierre Cardin, but he wasn’t the only one…

Pierre Cardin acquired Palais Bulles in 1992. The couturier felt a connection to this innovative vision of architecture and its voluptuous forms, which inspired his famous bubble dress in the 1950s. The designer completed the work on the villa, whose plans he altered slightly, notably turning the playground of the architect’s choosing into an amphitheatre intended to stage shows. Enamoured with this modern, open, light-filled home that was eco-friendly ahead of its time, Cardin would keep Palais Bulles for his private use until his death in 2020. Today, the residence still belongs to the designer’s company and is rented out for sumptuous evenings or shoots.

Pierre Cardin was not the only person to fall in love with the bubble houses of Théoule-sur-Mer. On the other side of the Calanque des Deux Frères, Maison Bernard also displays its spheres and unusual domes at the heart of Mediterranean vegetation. Built for the industrialist Pierre Bernard in Port-La Galère, it has been entirely renovated and has welcomed artists in residence since 2015. Boasting bespoke furniture, colourful walls and cactus gardens, this dwelling has turned into a real work of art. And to everyone’s delight, it can be visited on appointment! The chance to soak up colour before enjoying the Mediterranean .

Iconos de la arquitectura: Le Palais Bulles

En la costa de Cannes se levanta esta burbujeante mansión que conquistó a Pierre Cardin, su segundo propietario, y más recientemente a otro diseñador de moda, Jacquemus, que ha pasado aquí varios veranos.

Palais Bulles es una casa escultórica construida frente a la bahía de Cannes entre 1975 y 1989. Aunque fue diseñada por el arquitecto húngaro Antti Lovag para Pierre Bernard, un industrial francés, es más conocida por su segundo dueño: el diseñador de moda Pierre Cardin. Sus curvas orgánicas sedujeron al diseñador que entró a formar parte de Dior en 1947 y que, más tarde, fundó su propia firma en 1950. La casa de 1.200 metros cuadrados está organizada por módulos en formas de burbujas, y consta de un vestíbulo, un salón panorámico, un anfiteatro al aire libre al borde del acantilado con capacidad para 500 personas, 10 dormitorios, distintas piscinas al aire libre y varias cascadas que terminan por componer una escena idílica. Cada una de sus diez habitaciones ha sido decorada por un artista diferente, entre los que se encuentran Patrice Breteau, Jerome Tisserand, Daniel You, François Chauvin, Jêrome Tisserand y Gerard Cloarec. Sus formas curvas se extienden en la decoración con muebles como camas, estanterías o sofás casi siempre redondos (incluso las chimeneas o televisores), diseñados por estos artistas contemporáneos, fusionando así la decoración con la arquitectura.

Las ventanas siguen la línea tan característica, enmarcando sus increíbles vistas con ventanas con forma de óvalo o de círculo. El color rosáceo de la fachada a veces invade algunos interiores, mientras que en otros se apuesta por crear contraste con un azul potente. En 2016, se completó una renovación que duró cinco años llevada a cabo por el arquitecto francés Odile Decq. El precio con el que salió a la venta esta construcción tras esta renovación es uno de los más altos de la historia para una propiedad europea: 400 millones de euros .

• YP38 0 contribution 5,0 sur 5 bulles Fabuleux Au nord ouest de la Russie , au nord du lac Onéga .L 'arrivée et le départ de l 'île sont saisissants de beauté .Sur cette île musée , 2 églises en bois de tremble non traité tout à fait majestueuses .La plus grande ne se visite pas car elle est en restauration contrairement à la deuxième dite d' hiver car chauffée .Mais les extérieurs extraordinaires valent à eux seuls le déplacement .Sur cette île est reconstitué tout un village en bois comme d 'origine (village de pêcheurs ,moulin ,isbas ,saunas.....) Autour de cette île ,sur l' immense lac Onéga pris par les glaces 6 mois de l' année ,vous pouvez voir passer des petits chalutiers ,des hydroglisseurs …. La meilleure période pour visiter est le mois de juin quand vous pourrez admirer des couchers de soleil rouges sur le lac .Attention à bien prendre des produits antimoustiques les bestioles pouvant être agressives .Cette île est magnifique , un vrai bonheur pour les photographes .

• Digeme12 0 contribution 3,0 sur 5 bulles Assez bon compromis Notre guide Sacha un peu farfelu n'a pas vraiment suivi le programme proposé mais était indispensable pour la balade en métro et nous a bien détaillé l'histoire.La visite du couvent en travaux, mais bien.Le lendemain visite de la rue Alrac avec ses commerces où les prix sont vraiment plus intéressant, un détour au café Pouchkine avant que notre guide nous laisse au fameux restaurant inconnu (3 Teutral'nyy Proyezd)qui fessait plus penser à un lupanar qu'a un endroit où l'on a rien mangé car pas BON DU TOUT même pas la vodka! Heureusement la croisière fut un enchantement autant au niveau visuel que gustatif Plus Rédigé le 17 janvier 2019

Les curiosités

Rue d'Arbat

On peut appeler rue Arbat comme une principale rue de Moscou. Et non parce qu'elle est la plus grande et centale route de la capitale. Pas du tout. Les Moscovites et les hôtes de la capitale l'estiment pour son charme exceptionnel, créé par les modèles architecturaux des époques passées, pour sa liberté et son romantisme, qui sont personnifiés par les peintres de rue et les musiciens, pour son esprit unique du vieux Moscou, - noble et cultivé. L'histoire de plusieurs maisons de cette rue est liée à l'histoire et à la vie de grands gens russes et garde leurs noms. En savoir plus...

La place du Manège

Pour la première fois la place du Manège est mentionnée encore à la fin du XV-ème siècle. Mais elle s'est formée en 1932-1938. Comme le "Manège" était destiné à la revue des troupes, mais pendant les fêtes - pour les expositions et les concerts, dans cette place on organisait les mesures, on y passait les promenades nationales et les foires. En savoir plus...

Le Mont Poklonaya

La place la plus connue à l'entrée à Moscou de l'ouest, est, absolument, le Mont Poklonnaya, la place notable, liée à de différents faits historiques en Russie. Autrefois cette colline à pente douce se trouvait loin en dehors de Moscou, mais le panorama magnifique de la ville s’ouvrait de son sommet. Les voyageurs s'y arrêtaient pour jeter un coup d'oeil sur Moscou et la saluer – le nom du mont vient d’ici. En savoir plus...

Le Bolchoï

Au centre de Moscou sur une belle place est situé un principal temple de la culture russe, le Bolchoï. La fierté de toute la Russie - le Bolchoï - est un des plus considérables théâtres d’opéra et de ballet dans le monde entier, etant dans le même rang avec tels "blocs" comme «La Scala» en Italie et «Covent Garden » en Angleterre. Bref, on ne peut pas surestimer la signification du Bolchoï pour la Russie. Il est possible seulement, le coeur défaillant, jouir de son oeuvre immortelle et admirer son bâtiment magnifique, qui est aussi le modèle éminent de l'architecture russe. En savoir plus...
