I found these videos lately: internationally famous artists that can fill stadiums… presented in a very intimate way.

Erfurt, a bit of architecture

The law of the better-looking
View of Paris from the terrace of the restaurant costes, on the roof of the Georges Pompidou museum.
Yesterday I read about the restaurants of the Hotels Costes, which are aimed to sort out their clients in function of their appearence.

Breton thriller for German readers
Jean-Luc Bannalec is a man living between Germany and France. The two thrillers he wrote (Bretonische Verhältnisse and Bretonische Brandung) in german are a declaration of love for Brittany. He describes the south coast of my beloved region very well. So if you are able to read german and are curious about Brittany, those thrillers are made for you!
