Diversity on the side

The Paris area and the regions compete with each other in terms of attractive and sometimes novel ideas. In the capital, it is possible to follow an artistic path (that the Royal Monceau In the regions, without forgetting the visit of the patrimony, the sports practice is easy: parachute jumping, climbing, orienteering race in quads... All that it is necessary to an outstanding incentive !
