Journées du patrimoine

16.9. 10h00 - 17h00

Francouzské velvyslanectví Velkpřevorské náměstí 2 Praha 1

• Portes ouvertes au Palais buquoy [photo report]

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, en France tout d’abord et dans toute l’Europe maintenant, nombre de monuments habituellement interdits à la visite ouvrent leurs portes et livrent leurs trésors à la curiosité du public le temps de quelques journées. Siège de l’Ambassade de France depuis 1919, construit en plein cœur du quartier de Malá strana entre 1736 et 1738, le Palais Buquoy est un exemple très abouti du baroque pragois et le creuset des relations franco-tchèques depuis la première République. A la faveur de ces journées, le public pragois pourra découvrir ce joyau architectural. Ainsi, de l’escalier d’honneur où trône un buste du philosophe René Descartes au salon de musique où Mozart a donné plusieurs concerts privés, de la salle à manger où le 9 décembre 1988, François Mitterrand reçut Václav Havel et des dissidents tchèques pour un petit déjeuner célèbre, chacun pourra se pénétrer de la richesse patrimoniale de ce lieu singulier.

Déroulement : de 10h à 17h, déambulation libre et gratuite assistée d’un petit guide de visite individuel. L’accueil du public et l’entrée dans le palais se feront de Velkopřevorské náměstí 2, Prague 1.

Entrée libre

Been to the concert of Paul van Dyk. They sey he is N1 DJ in the world. Hard to believe. What about other 100 of the N1s in the world? Also I enjoyed music and dancing I did not feel like staying longer then 2am, so I went home as I had to get up early. Yet another intro into the CZ culture that I have saw many people wasted by alcohol and other stuff. But overall this was event of the week or probably month's to be at.

• Here is photo report from the live set
• I believe photo with friends may also be posted here - www.poslouchej.net

It happened that in one day we were lucky to attend 2 festivals. Prague Food Festival 2007 at Kampa park (www.praguefoodfestival.com) and discovered a JoyRide extreme sports and music festival at Císařská louka island (www.JoyRide.cz)

London. Reunion of friends who met during Helsinki Summer School 2002 (selected photos are here). Nikolay (RU, living London), Jeroen (NL, living Amsterdam) and myself Ivan (UA, living Prague). We have meet in London over this 5 calendar days (23 - 27 August, 2007), where Nikolay lives in a nice light and couzy 2 bedroom appartment with bright kitchen.
