Most beautiful structures in ville de Bécon
A structure with precious wood and gold motifs will give you a feel of an Indian Palace. The Pavillon des Indes is located at the entrance of the park of Bécon with historic significance. In the Pavillon des Indes museum there is a permanent exhibition as well as an accommodation for an artist in residence. The Indian Pavilion was designed by the English architect Caspar Purdon Clarke for the Prince of Wales (future King of England Edward VII).

Oh..my..god! This exhibit is AWESOME. If you want to feel what is like to be in a marvel movie then put this place on your to do list. It's interactive with your smart phone, it covers all the major avenger characters and some villains. There's a chance for you to get in on some of the action and see some of the props, costumes and special features of the films. Get the metro there, our uber got really lost. Once you're there prepare to enter s whole need world of interactive entertainment
The exposition is good for fans. The installations and the peace's showing are very interesting. Is allowed to take photos and I like the guide and app game provided. However it is too expensive. Half of the price would be more reasonable.

Expert guides tell the story of Jameson in a recreated distillery scene with tastings and dining.
Slide 1 of 8
It was incredible experience. Our tour guide was amazing. First you get free welcome drink - you have 3 options from Jameson (Jameson with lime and ginger is amazing). Then you go to first room, it’s about history of Jameson. Second room is about how to make Jameson and on third you learn about differences, how to smell and taste different Jamesons. With this guide, it was really amazing and I could stay longer than 45 minutes.
My wife and I took this tour on a Monday morning a few hours before our flight home and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very animated and obviously loved his job! Great tour through history all the way to current time. Definitely recommend this tour for any whiskey aficionados or anyone with just a taste for Jameson.
I paid about $26 for the Jameson Distillery tour and it was worth every penny. They start with a really cool 3D projector story about the history and how Jameson is made, then you move into a tasting room where you try four different Jamesons and learn how to properly smell and taste whiskey. It truly feels like a world-class experience. The premium ones were noticeably smoother (whiskey by itself definitely grows hair on your chest 😂), but it was fun, informative, and delicious. After the tasting, you get a drink included — they already have a bar set up with several cocktail options, and if you want another drink afterward you can buy more. The tour guide was incredible — funny, knowledgeable, and made it feel like he actually believed every part of the history. It was so good I found myself thinking, “Do y’all hire? I could work here too.” The staff overall was extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll even hold your bags if you’re coming straight from the airport like I was. There’s merchandise at the end if you want to shop, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun from start to finish. I would 100% come back and I’d tell anyone visiting Dublin to add this to their trip.
What an unforgettable experience at the Jameson Distillery! We opted for the Secret Whiskey Package and savored every moment. The tour was a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and fun, with fascinating insights into the company’s founder and the art of whiskey making. The highlight? Learning the skills of whiskey tasting, followed by a truly delicious sampling experience. Despite the bustling crowd of fellow travelers, the staff made us feel so special and welcome. We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!
Had a fantastic tasting tour on my second visit to this iconic Irish distillery. The guide’s deep knowledge and entertaining presentation made the experience memorable. It’s no wonder Jameson remains one of the world’s top selling whiskeys. Highly recommended!
Exactly everything you'd expect from a distillery tour. Great tour guide, samples of the whisky, and the best ambiance. All the employees were stellar and very nice to chat with. You can also purchase exclusive bottles you can't get anywhere else in the world.
This is one of the best distillery tour I’ve ever done! I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was really informative and had a great demote of knowledge about the history of Jameson’s. I’m not usually a Whiskey drinker but after trying a Jamesons, Ginger Ale and Lime in the bar I am converted.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jamison Distillery. I went with my husband and my daughter. It was very informative and quite interesting. There were several experiences during the tour. We tasted whiskeys that we hadn't tried before. Our new favorite one is Black Barrel. We've bought a bottle now that we're back home and have shared it with a neighbor. He is now a fan! I recommend going on this tour. It's fun, educational, and it even has a cute little shop inside.

This is a place where you can relax, do nothing and enjoy the vibe and beauty of Paris in between the Grand Arch and the Arc Triumphant. It is a perfect place for tourists, to enjoy a drink, to meet friends and to take photographs.
La Défense is the business district of Paris. If you can, make sure to visit it. You can see many beautiful, modern skyscrapers here. There are also observation decks, fountains, and an avenue that runs through the district.
A fun spot to view the many sites of the La Defense area. Especially nice on a hot day when the mist rolls over you!
Wonderful view after dusk over paris
Good vibes and great view
It’s a good place to visit enjoy and shopping
A must see of the new Paris, love or hate, it's pretty spectacular.

Bassin Takis - Your Evening Escape Need a breather after a hectic day? Head to Bassin Takis in La Défense. This spot is pure magic—imagine the Arc de Triomphe glowing in the distance, the Eiffel Tower peeking gracefully from afar, a straight road lit with streams of car lights, and cool evening breezes weaving through towering buildings. It’s the perfect blend of city buzz and calm vibes. Surrounded by great restaurants and cosy bars, it’s the ideal place to relax, recharge, and soak in the view.
The Bassin Takis is an iconic kinetic art installation created by Greek artist Takis (Panagiotis Vassilakis) in 1988. The work features dozens of slender metal rods topped with magnetic sculptures that move gracefully with the wind and reflect in the water below. This mesmerizing installation combines art, science, and motion Takis was fascinated by magnetic energy and used it to give his sculptures life and rhythm. Especially beautiful at night, when the reflections and lights create a hypnotic atmosphere, the Bassin Takis is one of the most poetic and distinctive landmarks of modern Parisian art.
Nice plaza to rest, walking, or hanging out with friends or just to sit down read your books.
Good place to bask when sunshine ☀️ avoid peak hours, some people will be littering and place can turn into a melting pot of loud noise. Keep eyes on your belonging 👀but again thats just reality around modern day Paris, else a good place to hang out.
Great public park with interesting art installations. Sadly, I couldn't find any working drinking water fountains.
Awesome view over the city
Great place to rest, chill and have your munch in the business district area!

A lovely park that is on different levels, but flows together well. Half of the he upper quadrant is currently undergoing refurbishment but the rest of the park is still open and offers many areas for children to play, or quiet contemplation of the Seine. There are some spots (up top) you can see the top of the Eiffel Tower (mainly in winter, I suspect the foilage of trees will obstruct it a great deal in summer). Access is available from both the lower and upper roads (even if Google Maps doesn't show it well).
Concerts in the park are definitely worth showing up for. Great community event.
Very clean and beautiful place. Really recommend the spring season!
Beautiful park. The flowers and trees are nice. The view on Eiffel Tower is magnificent.
Nice relaxing park. Basketball playground available as well.
Loved it! Great for kids of all ages - the small ones in a playground with sand, carousel, old times swings, the bigger ones will have fun in the trampoline or several play areas with climbing, slides, etc. Just bring some coins to pay for some of this.
One of park in Courbevoie facilitions with public toilet, just provide 20 cent to enter.
One of the nicest park in Courbevoie, 2 levels with nice view over looking the Seine. Effeil tower in the background. Lots of kids playground : trampoline, sandbox and high slide. You can find nice tennis courts and basketball court. Good place to relax during summer time

(Translated by Google) Favorite place of tourists due to its great photogenicity :) Some facts: it is a sculpture by the French artist Raymond Moretti (1931-2005). It decorates the façade of a 32-meter-high ventilation chimney. It consists of 672 fiberglass tubes with a diameter of 2 to 30 centimeters, painted in 19 different colors. The pipes have a total length of 22 km and weigh 27.5 tons. The work was created in 1990 and its inauguration took place five years later.

Icare [Icarus], patinated bronze, 1999 by Igor Mitoraj. This artwork is also called "Colossus", it combines ancient memory and contemporary treatment. Its proportions are ideal, but Icarus has been deliberately wounded, amputated and his head truncated. Through his artwork, Igor Mitoraj never ceases to express human nature and its imperfection, the human body, its beauty and fragility. Often large in size, like the bronze Icarus, his sculptures catch the eye in public places now scattered throughout many cities in Europe, the United States and Japan.

The food was amazing, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in the décor is impressive, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Even the plates were stunning!
We met for dinner in this cafe. They serve different tapas style meals, however no big main course. And - probably due to location in Business District- close relatively early.
Great catching up for business here. Just a bit too noisy, the food and service was great.
Recently visited l'Eclipse for a private celebration – hands down to a stunning view, exceptional service, attentive staff, and delicious dishes, making it a special evening. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a blend of great atmosphere and impeccable service! Will go again! :)
Warm ambience, was there twice. Once a casual hangout with friends and then the other, lunch with colleagues. A bit pricey, but wonderful experience.
I was there for afterwork event with colleagues. The staff was extremely friendly and took really good care of us. very warm and smiling My order was ready in few minutes. We had a great time with friends. Great place for an afterwork drink.
It's good but too expensive. Don't tell me that it's the price of La Defense, no, too expensive, compared to the quality and the quantity. In addition, pay attention, they ask you: "Do you want to start with some water?". Don't say "Yes", you should ask them: "Is it free water?". If not, they will bring you a bottle of water of 7 euros! Even in Zurich or Tokyo we don't have that price!
Great place for an afterwork drink. Went there with a few colleagues with a reservation and had such a nice table with a view. Service is so pro and friendly and the place is beautiful. Prices were correct. Happy hour is a bit short tho. I will come back for sure

Which is not the case which is surprising when you look around for the first time. I like the play on cuts as well as the little details that we see as we discover the work.

(Translated by Google) The Grand Toscano (Paris) The Grand Toscano is the first monumental sculpture by Igor Mitoraj, acquired for La Défense in 1983. If it recalls ancient, Greek or Roman statuary, its tear introduces a flaw in the virile neo-classical beauty. This large bronze thus evokes human fragility. By framing the sculpture in front of the Areva Tower - the stronghold of the nuclear industry - the photograph presents the allegory of humanity crushed under the domination of nuclear power. (Original) Le Grand Toscano (Paris) Le Grand Toscano est la premiére sculpture monumentale d'Igor Mitoraj, acquise pour La Défense en 1983. Si elle rappelle la statuaire antique, grecque ou romaine, sa déchirure introduit une faille dans la beauté virile néo-classique. Ce grand bronze évoque ainsi la fragilité humaine. En cadrant la sculture devant la tour Areva - place forte de l'industrie nucléaire - , la photographie présente l'allégorie d'une humanité écrasée sous la domination de la puissance nucléaire.
