France: Paris
In a nutshell...
Paris can be discovered in many different ways. Sightseers can visit the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Cœur, the Montparnasse Tower and the Arc de Triomphe Cultural visits of Paris include the Louvre, the Pompidou Centre, the Grand Palace and the Orsay Museum. Whichever sights you choose, the capital abounds with visual delights.
Fashion capital of the world, Paris also presents style and luxury from the Champs-Elysées to the Rue de Rivoli, where you can visit the Baccarat Museum or the Museum of Fashion and Fabric.
Paris is also every man’s town and quarters such as the old Montmartre or unusual Belleville with their bistros and traditional festivals are symbolic of the village spirit that can be found within this metropolis.
Finally, Paris is a city of fine food where well-known chefs such as Fauchon and Lenôtre are well-established on the Place de la Madeline.
A city to visit, explore and relish!

Organised by the Syndicat National des Antiquaires (SNA) since the first edition in 1956, the XXIV Biennale will take place from 11 to 21 September 2008 at the Grand Palais in Paris.
The Biennale, a red-letter rendezvous for the arts market, features a wide range of specialities presented by internationally acclaimed professionals in the fields of Antiques, the Fine Arts and Jewellery. They are all SNA members and are selected from the world’s finest antique and art dealers. They meet the exacting quality standards set by the SNA, thereby upholding a code of honour shared by all professionals with respect to customers and colleagues alike.
Since the Grand Palais re-opened in 2006, after refurbishing work that further enhanced this monument to French architecture, the Biennale has finally returned and settled at its original showcase venue.
