The holidays are approaching quickly and you still haven't managed to plan your schedule? Why not take advantage of a long weekend to hit the roads of France and discover the best cultural offers of the moment, with your family or friends?


We take advantage of the double exhibition at the Bassins de Lumières in Bordeaux to delight both young and old

On one hand, Dalí and Gaudí take us into their universes that are as unique as they are offbeat. A profusion of colors and shapes that develop and transform on the walls to the rhythm of captivating music. The surreal landscapes of one and the dreamlike architectural constructions of the other, everything is done to take us on a journey into the heart of the work of these two Spanish geniuses.

On the other hand, we return to France with the adventures of the most famous reporter: Tintin. A unique reinterpretation of the wild escapades encountered by Milou, Haddock, Tournesol, the Dupont/d, and all the others, which will delight both long-time fans and younger readers.
