Paris is the most beautiful city in the world (of course!). Paris is also the world capital of art, fashion, gastronomy and culture.

The Château de Versailles, Mont Saint Michel, the cathedrals (Notre-Dame de Reims, Amiens, Chartres, Bourges…), the Parc de Fontainebleau, the banks of the Seine, the Canal du Midi, the city of the popes in Avignon (…) and our French islands (Corsica, Réunion, New Caledonia, Polynesia).
French superstitions class
(2 hours)
Superstition is rooted in many cultures and everyday situations (at the table, in the theatre, at a wedding, in the street, by offering a gift…).
It is so tenacious that it sometimes becomes a ritual, a tradition, and is even an integral part of the code of good manners. The lack of knowledge of certain precautions to be taken in response to superstitions can be very poorly perceived by your relations.
We have therefore chosen to present you with an assortment of superstitions, most of which have spread to many cultures and are still very widespread today.
