La Bohème Française I (promenade guidée en français)

Did you know that a king of France stayed almost four years at the Prague castle or that the Barrandov district owes its name to a famous French geologist? Did you know that the Denisova and Legerova streets have the names of French Slavists who have worked for the creation of the Irely Republic?

for the first part of this visit We will explore the splendid district of Hradčany and Malá Strana in search of places that testify to the connections between Prague and France, from the Middle Ages to the present day. From the first king of bohemian from the Maison de Luxembourg and accustomed to the Court of France to President Mitterrand who, on an official visit under the communist regime, invites the dissidents of the regime, including Vaclav Havel, at the French Embassy for a breakfast that will remain in the annals. It is also generals, artists and scientists, of the two nationalities, who have forged these links, often unknown, that this visit likes you to discover.

The visit is guided by Johan Crabeels. The benefits of this event support the activities of the Open House Praha non -profit association, Z.ú.
