Journées du Patrimoine A little 'late ... Saturday 18 and Sunday, September 19 took place during the heritage of Europe. In these two days you can visit palaces, embassies, government offices are normally closed to the public. On Sunday we focused on the two highest offices in the state and it went well: morning at the Hotel Matignon, the residence of French Prime Minister François Fillon In the afternoon the Elysee, the residence of the President of Sark and his wife Carla. Crowds lined up for hours ... the trick? we present in full pregnancy .... had priority over all, even in the line dedicated to people with reduced mobility (the elderly, families with children, etc ...) pregnant women step forward. (Good thing, because my back would not stand even 10 minutes in a row).
