Hôtel des Académies et des Arts: Paris Art-form

Stairwell of the Hôtel des Académies et des Arts

Our recent excursion to Paris enlightened us about quite a few Parisian attractions, hidden secrets, legendary and lesser known wonders within the confines of the place the ancient Parisii settled and worked.
