Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Palais Galliera
The Palais Galliera, also formally known as the Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, and formerly known as Musée Galliera, is a museum of fashion and fashion history located at 10, avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is open daily except Mondays and public holidays; an admission fee is charged and varies depending on the exhibition programmed. The museum has no permanent displays due to conservation issues. The museum opened its doors again 28 September 2013 after being closed for major renovation.
Palais Galliera is one of the 14 City of Paris museums that have been incorporated since 1 January 2013 in the public institution Paris Musées. The Duke of Galliera was a partner in the urban planning firm Thome & Cie, and owned a large parcel of land in one of the finest neighborhoods in Paris. Upon his death in 1876, his wife, Marie Brignole-Sale de Ferrari, the Duchesse de Galliera, became the heir of his immense fortune. The duchess decided that she wanted to use the land to build a museum, at her expense, to hold their works of arts. According to her wishes, a notary prepared a deed of gift to give the land parcel to the French state. However, after the gift was registered and accepted by presidential decree on 30 August 1879, it was discovered that the notary had made a serious error. Rather than donating the parcel to France, the deed was written as a gift to the City of Paris. Unable to change the deed at this point, the gift remained as written. Construction of the museum began in 1879 on an opulent design by architect Léon Ginain, who also supervised its construction. In 1884, the Duchess gave 6.5 million francs to the City of Paris for work already done as well as funds necessary to complete it.
On 22 June 1886, Jules Grévy and Georges Clemenceau convened the Chamber of Deputies of the French Third Republic and adopted a law expelling any person who was a direct heir of a royalist dynasty that had reigned in France. The Duchess Galliera, who had descended from the House of Orléans, was outraged by the law, no less because she had already donated the Hôtel Matignon to France. Unable to revoke her gift of the new museum, she abandoned the rest of her planned legacy to Paris. Thus, her collection of paintings and fine art were given to Genoa, Italy, where they are now displayed at the Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco.
The Palais Galliera faces Brignole Galliera Square, immediately north of the Palais de Tokyo and one block east of the Musée Guimet. The architect Léon Ginain based his design on a palace that the Duchess Galliera owned in Genoa. The building is faced in cut stone in the Italian Renaissance style supported by an underframe of steel, constructed by the Eiffel Company. The mosaic floors and domes are the work of Giandomenico Facchina (1826–1904). The statues on the façade that fronts Avenue du President Wilson represent Painting by Henri Chapu, Architecture by Jules Thomas, and Sculpture by Peter Cavelier. In 1916, a fountain was built in front of the museum.
Since 1977, the City of Paris has operated the Palais Galliera as the Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, a permanent museum devoted to fashion. It displays exhibits of French fashion design and costume from the eighteenth century to the present day. The museum is closed in between exhibitions. The museum's holdings contain about 70,000 items, and are organized as follows:
Costumes - from the 18th century to the present, including clothes owned by Marie-Antoinette, Louis XVII, and the Empress Josephine, the dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and displays of fashions by the leading 19th and 20th century designers including Balenciaga, Pierre Balmain, Anne-Marie Beretta, Louise Chéruit, Sonia Delaunay, Christian Dior, Jacques Fath, Mariano Fortuny, Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Paul Poiret, Paco Rabanne, Yves Saint Laurent, and Elsa Schiaparelli.

Eglise Notre Dame De L'Esperance De Cannes
We enjoyed this place, we dandered straight from the harbour up to the castle, we also wound around the streets and back down to the film theatre. We only walked around the castle and to be honest it was nice but it was mainly for the view, very picturesque. You can get some nice photos of the church from the outside but best of all is the ones you can get overlooking the harbour and la croisette. Inside it is very plain and boring.
Notre-Dame d’Espérance (1 place de la Castre) La construction de l'église Notre-Dame d’Espérance remonte au début du XVIème siècle. La population cannoise augmenta à tel point que l'église Notre-Dame du Puy (chapelle romane, place de la Castre) ne put contenir tous les fidèles. De plus, cette église présentait de gros inconvénients : elle servait également de chapelle au château, ce qui contraignait les fidèles à prier sous les yeux du seigneur qui disposait d'une tribune à lui réservée. La fonction défensive de cette chapelle constituait une entrave à la vie paroissiale.
La construction d'une nouvelle église est décidée le 14 novembre 1521. Celle-ci devra être faite «à l'imitation» de celle de Roquebrune-sur-Argens, mesurant 18 cannes de long, 6 de large et devra être terminée dans les 3 ans, moyennant 2.000 florins, 15 écus et 50 barils d'anchois.
Mais malgré 80 années d'efforts, les Cannois n'ont pu achever cette oeuvre gigantesque. Enfin, en 1628, après un ultime accord, l'entrepreneur César Ferrare de Brignoles est chargé de mener à bonne fin les travaux. En dépit de nouvelles difficultés, l’édifice est enfin termine en 1641.
Après avoir été bénie, l'église est dédiée à Notre-Dame d’Espérance le 25 mars 1645 en la fête de l'Annonciation.
Ce sanctuaire, blanchi à la chaux et dallé, a besoin d’être orné. C'est pourquoi, les chapelles sont affectées les unes après les autres à des confréries artisanales cannoises de métiers différents. Elles datent du XVIIème-XVIIIème siècles.
C'est le 26 décembre 1649 que l’évêque Godeau, en visite pastorale, pénètre solennellement au chant du Te Deum dans cette église resplendissante, témoin des efforts et des sacrifices des Cannois.
