The Classic Townhouses on Ile-Saint-Louis
Dating back to the seventeenth century, the island's buildings are for the most part townhouses built for members of the rich middle class, many of them officials who worked for Louis XIV. Since those times, the island has had many illustrious residents such as the poet Baudelaire, physicist Marie Curie and Voltaire. In the 1920s it was a favorite haunt of Hemingway.
Definition of Hôtel
Many historic buildings in France have the word Hôtel in their names. This does not mean they are actually hotels; in French hotel often refers to a prestigious single family residence or mansion.
The Hôtel Lauzun (17 quai d'Anjou)
The Hôtel Lauzun is just such a mansion. One of the most beautiful in all of Paris, the mansion is famous for two things: its exquisite baroque interior and its later residents. You can take a guided tour of the mansion every Tuesday. Baudelaire lived here while writing some of the poems of his famous Flowers of Evil (Les Fleurs du mal).
3 quai d'Anjou
The house at 3 quai d'anjou was designed by and the personal residence of Louis Le Vau.
The Hôtel Lambert (1 quai d'Anjou)
Another of Paris' finest mansions is the Hôtel Lambert. In the nineteenth century, the Polish government bought the mansion and welcomed Polish exiles such as the musician Chopin and the poet Adam Mickiewicz, together with their French friends. This mansion had a large garden, which was unusual for a mansion on the island, as there was so little space.
24-26 quai de Bethune - Pompidou Residence
The building at 24-26 quai de Bethune was built on the site of a beautiful mansion also designed by Louis Le Vau. All that is left of the old mansion are the door panels, but they are considered the loveliest doors on the island. This is where the late president of France, Georges Pompidou, lived.
The Polish Library and Adam Mickiewicz Museum (6 quai d'Orléans)
The Polish Library Building also houses three museums in one, the first devoted to the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz, the second to Chopin, and the third to artist Boleslas Biegas. It can be visited on Thursdays.
New York Habitat has many apartments both on and around Ile-Saint-Louis where you can stay during your stay in Paris. So, skip the hotel and live like a real Parisian by renting your own apartment in the heart of Paris, and find a nice vacation rental through New York Habitat.
For example, this studio vacation rental (PA-4141) is located on Ile-Saint-Louis. The apartment includes a fully-equipped kitchen with all of the necessities to prepare a meal in the apartment and feel right at home!
This furnished 2-Bedroom Apartment (PA-4166) is also located on the Ile-Saint-Louis. With a fully equipped kitchen and accommodations for up to 6 people, this is a great apartment to feel like home during your stay in Paris.
New York Habitat provides also a nice selection of Bed & Breakfast all over Paris.
Ice Cream
You may want to sample the ice cream for which Ile-Saint-Louis is famous. The Parisians deem it to be the best in Paris. A favorite is Berthillon ice cream which has its headquarters on rue Saint-Louis-en-Ile.
L'Eglise Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile
The Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile church, designed once again by Le Vau was dedicated to King Louis IX, who after his death was made a saint. The front, hemmed in by buildings, hides a white interior, highly decorated with gilt, and filled with works of art and other treasures. It is a splendid setting for the many concerts given here throughout the year.

Paris, France - Visite Guidée du Quartier de l'Ile-Saint-Louis
Dans cette visite guidée, New York Habitat ( ) vous propose d'explorer une zone un peu moins connue de Paris, l'Ile-Saint-Louis. Cette petite île de la Seine, située juste derrière la cathédrale Notre-Dame, possède un charme surprenant.

Les maisons de ville classique sur l'Ile-Saint-Louis
Datant du XVIIe siècle, les bâtiments de l'île sont pour la plupart des maisons construite pour les membres de la riche bourgeoisie, beaucoup d'entre eux étant les fonctionnaires qui ont travaillé pour Louis XIV.
L'Hôtel de Lauzun (17 quai d'Anjou)
L'Hôtel Lauzun est un hôtel particulier. Un des plus beaux de tout Paris, célèbre pour deux choses: son intérieur baroque et ses habitants connus plus tard. Baudelaire a vécu ici pendant l'écriture des poèmes des ''Fleurs du Mal''.
L'Hôtel Lambert (1 quai d'Anjou)
Une autre des plus beaux hôtels particuliers de Paris est l'hôtel Lambert. Au XIXe siècle, le gouvernement polonais a acheté la maison et hébergé des exilés polonais tels que le musicien Chopin et le poète Adam Mickiewicz, ainsi que leurs amis français. Cette maison avait un grand jardin, ce qui était inhabituel pour un hôtel sur l'île, car il y avait très peu d'espace.
24-26 quai de Béthune - Résidence Pompidou
Le bâtiment au 24-26 quai de Béthune a été construit sur le site d'une belle demeure conçu par Louis Le Vau. Tout ce qui reste du vieux manoir est la porte, mais elle est considérée comme la plus belle porte de l'île.
La bibliothèque polonaise et Adam Mickiewicz Musée (6 quai d'Orléans)
La Bibliothèque polonaise abrite également trois musées en un, le premier consacré au poète polonais Adam Mickiewicz, le second à Chopin, et le troisième à l'artiste Boleslas Biegas. Elle peut être visitée tous les jeudis.
New York Habitat a de nombreux appartements à Paris, à la fois sur et autour de l'Ile-Saint-Louis. Plutôt que de louer un hôtel, pensez aux locations de vacances de New York Habitat.
Par exemple, ce studio en location de vacances (PA-4141) est situé sur l'Ile-Saint-Louis. L'appartement comprend 2 canapés-lits et un lit double, ainsi qu'une cuisine entièrement équipée avec tous le nécessaire pour préparer un repas dans l'appartement et se sentir à la maison.
Cette location meublée T2 (PA-3015) est également sur l'Ile-Saint-Louis, au cœur de Paris. Il s'agit d'un grand appartement avec une cuisine entièrement équipée et des chambres pour un maximum de 5 personnes.
N'oubliez pas que New York Habitat est aussi spécialisé dans les locations meublées à Paris
La rue principale de l'île est appelée rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile. Elle est bordée de boutiques et de magasins spécialisés, comprenant un magasin de jouets, un atelier de marionnettes faites à la main, chocolateries, boulangeries, fromageries, boutiques de souvenirs, galeries d'art et un certain nombre des restaurants.

Vous voudrez peut-être goûter à la crème glacée pour laquelle l'Ile-Saint-Louis est célèbre, la crème glacée Berthillon qui a son siège sur la rue Saint-Louis-en-Ile.

Photography in Scotland: 1 day, 6 locations & 13 photos
A classic bit of landscape photography in Scotland today. I went to 6 locations and made 13 photos!

This photography project in Scotland has been going really well. There are obviously lots of places for landscape photography in Scotland. But, what you often struggle with here is the weather. And, somehow, the weather has been cooperating. Sure, it hasn't been perfect, but when is it ever? I'm very happy with how the photography vlog series here in Scotland is going so far.
I started off the morning at a place called Carrbridge. It's an old stone bridge that makes for a great photo. The light wasn't perfect, but it's a cool enough location that it kind of stands on it's own. Then, I rolled down to a castle, found some highland cows, and ended in Glencoe.
The light was perfect for landscape photography in Glencoe. Absolutely perfect. I made 13 images today, and I'm very pleased with how it's all going. Scotland is just unreal.

Paris - La Ville Lumiere
website:
Raccontare Parigi è impossibile, lascio perciò che siano le sue luci a mostare la bellezza di una città unica. La vita frenetica di una metropoli si mescola all'antico splendore dei monumenti in una galoppata estasiata, e ci si sente parte della Storia e della modernità. Alla fine di una immaginaria corsa per Parigi si ha il fiato corto, ma tanta Bellezza negli occhi e nel cuore.
Riprese e Montaggio donni
Talking about Paris is impossible, so I prefer that her lights told you the beauty of this unique city. The daily life of a modern town flows next ancient monuments and you can ride into the streets of Paris happy, feeling part of the History and part of the today. At the end of the day you will be breathless but your eyes and your soul will be full of Beauty.

Day 9: Istanbul, Turkey - This was a day of sightseeing at some of the most famous attractions in Istanbul that I’ve wanted to visit my entire life including the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. And the read highlight of the day for me was the incredible Turkish food, especially the kebabs.
Museum Pass Istanbul - 85 TRY ($28.88) - Before getting started with the things we did in this video, I purchased a Museum Pass for Istanbul, which granted me access to a few of the attractions without having to stand in line. I’m not sure if I really saved much money, but it did save time.
2:00 Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque) - Our first stop of the day in this attractions in Istanbul video was the Sultan Ahmet Camii, which is commonly known as the Blue Mosque due to its blue tiles on the inside. We actually arrived a little too early in the morning, so they were not open yet, so we walked around the Hippodrome of Constantinople for a few minutes. When the Blue Mosque opened, we went inside. Both inside and outside are incredible to see.
5:37 Hagia Sophia - One of the most famous pieces of architecture in all of Istanbul and one of the most famous attractions is Hagia Sophia. It started off as a church, later became a mosque, and now it’s an official museum. After entering, you can walk around the main room, but the highlight of visiting Hagia Sophia for me was walking up to the upper galleries for some amazing views from above.
8:24 Topkapi Palace - Finally, one more of the most famous attractions in Istanbul, and located right in the same area as Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque is Topkapi Palace, which was an Ottoman Palace. You can walk around the gardens and palace structures, which are now galleries. I especially enjoyed the Imperial Harem, which was a section of the palace reserved for women, and the best preserved area of the palace.
11:25 Sehzade Erzurum Cag Kebab (Şehzade Cağ Kebap) - There are many different types of Turkish food, and cag kebab is a type of kebab from Erzurum in Eastern Turkey. According some some men I met while eating the amazing kebabs, this is the best restaurant for cag kebab in all of Istanbul. The type of kebab is made from lamb, and instead of being on a vertical skewer like other types of kebabs, it’s grilled on a horizontal skewer. The meat is cooked with wood fire, and slice off onto smaller skewers to be served. If you get a chance to try cag kebab, it’s an absolutely stunning Turkish food. The entire meal was delicious, but the best part was meeting the owner of Sehzade Erzurum Cag Kebab and eating a slice of the meat right off the roll hot and fresh. Out entire meal cost 85 TL ($28.88).
20:34 Basilica Cistern - 20 TRY ($6.80) - Arter the amazing Turkish food lunch, we headed over to see the Basilica cistern, one of many underground cisterns in Istanbul. It was interesting to see. We then headed to the hotel for a rest, and then went out again for dinner.
23:27 Dinner at Balkan Lokantasi - Beşiktaş is a neighborhood in Istanbul and we walked over to a restaurant for dinner in that neighborhood called Balkan Lokantasi. It was an extremely busy restaurant serving all sorts of different Turkish food in a cafeteria like style. You walk through the line, choose whatever dishes you want, and pay for what you get. You can eat a serious feast for a pretty good price. I got a little confused and didn’t really know what I was doing, so ended up ordering what was way too much food. But that’s alright, it was all really delicious.
It was fantastic day of Turkish food and visiting some attractions in Istanbul that I had wanted to visit my entire life.
