(Last Update: 06.06.2025) In this article, we will again get to know one of my favorite corners of Paris: Square du Vert-Galant… Although its name sounds very foreign, it is in a prominent location in Paris and seen by everyone, but it is neglected to be visited by many people. This is a place to be. Square du Vert-Galant (skuer dü ver galan or skueğ veğ galan), that is, Vert-Galant Square, is the name of a square
(Last Update: 06.06.2025) Passerelle Léopold Sédar Senghor (Passerelle Solférino), one of the 37 bridges in Paris, is also one of the 4 pedestrian bridges over the Seine River. The bridge, which was first built in 1861 during the time of Napoleon and took its name from the Battle of Solférino, was later demolished and was replaced with a completely steel construction in 1961. When this bridge became deactivated in 1992, the current bridge was built in 1999 and its name was changed to "Solférino" by the former President of Senegal in 2006.

The passages built as shopping malls of the past are actually quite familiar to us, especially as they parallel the "grand bazaar" logic of the Ottoman period. As you know, the Turkish word "passage" came into our language from the French word "passage". Especially one

In fact, the Palais Royal (pale royal or pale ğoyal) in the announcement of the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre, which we all hear while going to the Louvre Museum on the M1 metro line, means "Royal Palace" as you may have guessed, but this palace does not get its name from the Louvre Palace, but from its exact location.
(Last Update: 07.06.2025) Place des Victoires, one of the cutest and most aesthetic squares in Paris, is located between the 1st and 2nd arrondissements of the city. This square, where six roads intersect, consists of a circular area with a diameter of 80 meters and is surrounded by buildings of typical French architecture. Whenever I pass by Place des Victoires, I think of the "Sixyol" in Kadıköy. Actually, six roads intersect
(Last Update: 07.06.2025) The Orangerie, which is the "conservatory", in other words the "greenhouse" of the Old Tuileries Palace, located in the Tuileries Garden, is a building built in 1857 and has been used by the Orangerie Museum - Musée de l' since 1927. It is used as an orangerie. I've always had a fondness for "Orangerie"s. Both its architectural form, the fact that it is located in a park, and its large glass windows
(Last Update: 20.10.2025) We are in a chapel where you can see the most beautiful stained glass in Paris, perhaps in France: Sainte Chapelle (Sent Chapel). This is a magnificent building located on the same island (Île de la Cité) as the Notre Dame Cathedral. Its magnificence stems not from its size but from its style and, most of all, from its impressive stained glass windows. In fact, without seeing any pictures, you should go directly and visit it.
(Last Update: 01.12.2025) And we are in the Louvre Museum - Musée du Louvre, one of the largest and most beautiful museums in the world... The Louvre Museum, which has made a name for itself after a major robbery that took place on October 19, 2025, and is one of the museums I have visited and loved the most, and which impressed me the most, is a privileged structure in that it is actually a palace. While visiting this place,
