Did I told you the Zoo de Vincennes will reopen in April 2014? YES; the mythical zoo is back and better than ever for what I saw driving by it last week. light greenhouse of 4.000 square meters of dozens of birds in freedom, lazy on lianas, where the visitor gets deep with the smell and wetness of thousands of tropical plants. Reconstituted steppes. A vivarium and a last cry giraferie. And, of course, more than a thousand animals – 170 species – from the most classic to the most exotic. Landscaping prowess, ode to biodiversity, the Vincennes zoo (now renamed Parc zoologique de Paris). No longer has much to do with the Wildlife Park that has populated the imaginations of generations of small Parisians. The ever-present Grand rock overlooking the new five biozones is still there. Giraffes, lemurs and baboons will resume service. webpage new too, http://parczoologiquedeparis.fr/
Revolution in the parfums business, the British group Designer Parfums founded by a family of Indian origins, the Mehta,has purchase parfums Jean Patou in July 2011 from Procter & Gamble. Now they are on the move to give this brand that once rival that of Chanel the luster it had, so JP is back.
