&lt;h3&gt;Our lounge restaurant&amp;nbsp;at Hotel de Vigny&amp;nbsp;celebrates a
milestone birthday!&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lebarettoparis.fr/"
title="Le Baretto Paris"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Le
Baretto'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;celebrates its&amp;nbsp;20th
anniversary&amp;nbsp;this year&amp;nbsp;and rings in the changes with a new
menu and other interesting changes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A new &lt;strong&gt;patio / fumoir&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;complete with an
over-head&amp;nbsp;canopy has been created in the courtyard.&amp;nbsp;Why
not&amp;nbsp;stop by for an afternoon coffee?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Upon your&amp;nbsp;arrival you will notice a&amp;nbsp;fresh
new&amp;nbsp;look&amp;nbsp;to our entrance&amp;nbsp;and a few finishing touches
to the interior which we hope you will agree are in keeping with
the finery of the Art Deco interior which the Baretto is famous
for.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;new wine menu&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is now&amp;nbsp;available,
with a larger variety of wines from privately owned vineyards and a
selection of open wines to be served by the glass at a small rate
for a maximum of pleasure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But most of all the Chef Patrick MARTEAU and the Director of the
Restaurant Philippe LANDAT&amp;nbsp;have created&amp;nbsp;a &lt;strong&gt;new
lounge menu in the evenings starting from 6 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt; An
absolute must to discover as of September 2010...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Baretto has also applied the new VAT decrease, now
that&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;new law has been approved, in order to further
improve&amp;nbsp;value for money.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Happy Birthday Baretto&amp;nbsp;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The announcement of the appointment of Mr Alexandre Scarvelis
was made in March 2010. The two luxury Parisian hotels reside
almost directly opposite each other on rue Balzac so they lend
themselves to a joint management structure, which is how they were
historically managed. The properties have quite a lot in common;
they both belong to JJW Hotels &amp;amp; Resorts luxury hotels; both
are located in the same quiet street just off the Champs Elysees
and both offer quality service and amenities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, this is where the similarity ends. The De Vigny's
ambience is quite different from that of the Balzac Hotel, having
been designed by celebrated interior designer Nina Campbell, the
décor is traditionally British. Walking around the hotel, it is
easy to imagine that you are in a home away from home with
exquisite antique pieces of furniture in every corner of the hotel.
The Balzac by contrast is modern with a hint of traditional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For Mr Scarvelis, having managed the Balzac since it first
re-opened in 2007 after an extensive refurbishment, the transition
to managing two hotels has been a smooth one as he was already very
familiar with the property and staff whom have welcomed the new
joint management structure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You will notice quite a few changes have already taken place in
the hotel, with a new PC web corner which is positioned next to the
window so you can work in daylight. It features a traditional 18th
century bureau and a tapestry covered screen for privacy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Attention to detail is high up on the priority list for the
friendly and professional staff and you will notice a few additions
and changes that have enhanced the distinguished ambience
throughout the hotel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mr Scarvelis looks forward to welcoming you to the De Vigny on
your next trip to Paris.&lt;/p&gt;

soaring temperatures of Paris in the summertime.&lt;/p&gt;

exclusively to the pedestrians and the buzzing metropolis takes on
the air of an island utopia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Further down in the city is the Bassin de la Villette beach,

The gigantic lake that is the Bassin de Villette, is a social hub
for masses of Parisians and tourists alike.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table border="0" width="100%"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td align="center"&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Vendanges de Montmartre 2011: A Unique Vineyard Harvest in the
Depths of Urban Paris&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Montmartre wine festival springs to life in the 18th
arrondissment every year under the shadow of the white domed
Basilica of the Sacre Coeur. It is a spectacle quite unlike any
other harvest festival in the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Located in Rue Saint-Vincent, this small vineyard produces over
500 litres of quality wine every year... and this unusual tradition
of urban wine production - in a city already dripping with culture
- is a glistening example of Parisian culture during the changing
of the seasons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Dancing in the Streets... Drinking Wine in the Sun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The harvest festival commences early in the day with musical
performances, street theatre and storytelling... before a
pilgrimage to Montmartre cemetery is undertaken for readings and
remembrance. From there people flood the streets with a carefree
air of celebration and joy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stalls spring to life and sell delicate Parisian street food,
while the local wine flows in abundance. There are tastings galore,
contests a plenty, parades, dancing... and a community spirit
rarely seen in the centre of any metropolis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Join the Revelry... and Stay at Luxury Hotel de Vigny&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The event is not complete until the dancing display of fireworks
are crowning the night sky... which rather than signalling the end
of the evening... often lead to more food, wine and an array of
celebrations that continue deep into the night.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Such an event does not take place anywhere else in the world...
and the vineyard at Montmartre - perhaps one of the only urban
vineyards to produce grapes and wine of such quality - deserves to
be seen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a
href="http://www.hoteldevigny.com/offers-and-packages/autumn-special-offer"&gt;
If you're thinking of joining us at this unique event - and
visiting the majesty of Paris during the changing of the seasons -
why not take advantage of the special Autumn Offer just announced
at deluxe Hotel de Vigny.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a
href="http://www.hoteldevigny.com/offers-and-packages/autumn-special-offer"&gt;
Paris has never looked so beautiful.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Paris during Christmas and the New Year is something that has to
be seen to be believed. From the art and culture... to the shopping
and romance... to the fine dining and incredible nightlife - the
city of lights has all you need for the getaway of a lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Art &amp;amp; Culture&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're looking for some of the finest art on display in the
city, you'd do well to check out the Stein Collection. Hosted at
the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, the show features
paintings collated and championed by the Stein family - an American
dynasty, instrumental in helping to forge the early careers of some
of the greatest artists in the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Shopping&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whilst the whole of Paris is known as the shopping hub of
Europe, certain areas are a must see. The Champs Elysees, for
example, has one of the most extensive collections of designer
outlets, boutiques and shopping arcades in the city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 You can find the flagship Louis Vuitton store on the corner of
Champs Elysees and George V... whilst nearby Avenue Montaigne plays
host to a quality selection of designer boutiques, such as: Chanel,
Valentino, Dior Prada and Ralph Lauren.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Staying at Luxury Hotel de Vigny&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Located just off the Champs Elysees in a quiet side street that
opens out on to one of the busiest parts of the city - you will be
amazed at the contrast between quaint hidey-hole and vibrant
buzz.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With its classy décor and romantic setting, the hotel is the
perfect place to retreat after you have had your fill of the
Christmas crowds... and the perfect base for a New Year experience
of a lifetime in Paris.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table border="0" width="100%"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td align="center"&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Musée d'Orsay&amp;nbsp;re-opens in Paris:&lt;br /&gt;
 A must see experience for 2012&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Located in the 7th arrondissement, on the banks of the Seine and
just a couple of Metro stops from Hotel de Vigny, the Musée d'Orsay
is once again open for visitors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following major restoration and restructuring, the museum has
been generating rave reviews for its ambitious project to add fresh
perspective to iconic works... and after visiting it earlier this
year we can understand why.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Creative Goals: Refurbishment, Reorganisation &amp;amp;
Rehanging&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the main aims of this project was to reorganise, re-hang
and redecorate the settings of the major works, in order to create
a living exhibition and a cohesive blend of artwork and
environment. Through this the gallery hopes to inspire a series of
thought-provoking questions, in line with the intentions of the
original artists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to this, the re-opening to the public in October
2011 brought with it some other exciting changes. The former engine
house of this one time train station - The Amont Pavilion - has
been completely renovated and reconstructed... and is now the grand
setting for the European schools of decorative art.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Impressionists and post-impressionists&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All these changes have seamlessly managed to add to the beauty
of the museum's greatest assets; its extensive - and stunning -
collection of impressionist and post impressionist work. Some of
the greatest masterpieces from the hands of Monet, Manet, Degas,
Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Sisley, Gauguin and Van Gogh can once
again be enjoyed within its walls... and it's a Parisian experience
you will not want to miss.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/home.html"
target="_blank"&gt;Have a look at some of the excellent art on display

Paris whilst you're here view these amazing artworks; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a

&lt;h2&gt;See the Paris Motor Show 2012 and Stay in Luxury at Hotel de
Vigny&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taking place between 29 September and 14 October, the 2012 Paris
Motor Show will be unleashing the latest innovations, inventions,
concept cars and motoring marvels during a highly anticipated two
week run.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year the Paris expo - Porte de Versailles (75015, Paris),
is scheduled to host Paris' largest motoring show... and looks set
to attract the biggest names, stars and cars in the industry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;New this Year at the 2012 Paris Motor Show&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Brand new cars looking to make a big impact this year include
the latest offerings from Honda, Maserati, Lexus, Peugeot,
Mercedes, Mitsubishi... and - hopefully, if the rumours are true -
the successor to McLaren's F1 hypercar, as the motoring giant has
announced that its latest car will be unveiled at the show.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;New energies will be playing a big role in 2012 and the motor
show is looking for active participation from the more adventurous
attendees. Amongst the green things to try out are: a 400m indoor
circuit and a 2km city circuit for the active trialling of electric
and hybrid vehicles. Whilst for the younger attendees, electric
karting is scheduled to provide plenty of thrills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Stay in 5-Star Style at Hotel de Vigny&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So if you're coming along to this year's show and are looking to
experience the best that central Paris has to offer... why not stay

&lt;table border="0" width="100%"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td align="center"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Edward Hopper Exhibition: See it at the Grand Palais&lt;br /&gt;
 Stay at the Hotel de Vigny&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Edward Hopper exhibition is taking place at the Grand
Palais, Galeries nationales between October 10th 2012 - 28th
January 2013 and will be showcasing a comprehensive collection of
the artist's work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Covering two main elements of his work, this retrospective
exhibition will be examining, in great detail, his formative years
(1900 - 1924), along with his mature years (up to 1966).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Creating American Realism&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The exhibitions formative section contrasts and compares
Hopper's earlier works with that of his contemporaries and a
cacophony of Parisian influences; whilst the mature section centres
on his evolvement into the driving force of American Realism&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Delving into the complexities of his work and analysing the
contradictory interpretations of his art, the exhibition is looking
to offer a complete picture of the artist... even including some of
the commercial illustrations he completed as part of a stoic 'day
job' before finding success.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Hopper in Paris: Emergence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A large part of Hopper's early development is often attributed
to the time he spent in Paris. He was influenced by the character
of the city and by the work of Manet and Degas. Degas' hand is
particularly noticeable in the creative stroke of Hopper's angles,
symmetry and poetic drama.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Throughout his Parisian tenure, Hopper was driven towards
impressionism, concentrating his technique on the exploration of
harmony and sensual awakening. Back in the US he was noted for his
involvement with the Ashcan School... before this collision of
styles evolved into his unique area of American Realism to produce
some of the most memorable art work ever created.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;How to Visit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Located just off the Champs-Elysées, the Galeries nationales is
within walking distance of the Hotel de Vigny... and if you are
looking to see the Hopper, or any exhibition, during your stay in
Paris, Hotel de Vigny's expert concierge will be happy to assist
you.&lt;/p&gt;
