The last big exhibition about Eugène Delacroix in Paris was held in 1963, 200 years after the French painters’ death. But, now it is time for a new exhibition for those who want to know more about one of the most famous French painters’ of all time.
This exhibition presenting more than 180 works of Delacroix is a cooperation between the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Louvre museum in Paris.

Did you think that art and politics were two completely different things, existing separate from one another? Think again and visit the Power Plays exhibition in Louvre.
In the period between September 27 (2017) and July 2 (2018), you can get to know more about the connection between art and politics. We have seen plenty of examples in history of leaders who create portrays of themselves to affirm their authority, legitimacy, and for the sake of prestige. But, we have also seen how art has been used to shame the leaders of a country and take part in a political game against the leaders of a country.
In this exhibition you can watch more than fifty works from the Musée du Louvre, the Musée National du Château de Pau, the Château de Versailles, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris. Together they illustrate the code developing behind the people of political power.

August 4th will be the date for the Ligue 1 kick-off in the new season. Last years champions AS Monaco will play against Toulouse. On August 5th at 17.00 the next match in the new season will be played, and that will be between PSG and Amiens SC.
Amiens SC is a new team in the French top league, and everyone expects their opening match against PSG to be a simple win for PSG. It will probably turn into that, but anything can happen. The match will be played at the home field of PSG, Parc des Princes, and if you want to be there to taste the atmosphere, buy your tickets for the match right away.
Can PSG win Ligue 1 in 2017-18 again? By Silvia_Preihs / Shutterstock
The French league will be the first one to start of the top leagues in Europe. The Premier League in England will only have its kick-off one week later, and the German Bundesliga will keep its fans waiting even longer. Luckily fans of French football doesn’t have to wait much, only 1 1/2 week, and then it will be the kick-off for the new French football season.
That might be handy, as it gives the teams more time to play before the big tournaments like the Champions League and the Europe League will start.
Will PSG win Ligue 1 this year?
Last year everyone was surprised that PSG did not win Ligue 1. For the first time in years, another team won the league. AS Monaco was the team to dethrone PSG, but can they keep their place at the top of French football for two seasons in a row? We doubt it, but they have managed to keep quite some of their star players remain in the squad, so maybe AS Monaco will surprise us again?
There are lots of other great programs and activities to enjoy while in Paris. After all, the world is more than football. So, why don’t you book a river cruise with dinner, some tickets for the Moulin Rogue, pay a visit to the Eiffel Tower, and enjoy some culture at the Louvre museum? The options are uncountable, but that is what makes Paris such a magic city.
The last big exhibition about Eugène Delacroix in Paris was held in 1963, 200 years after the French painters’ death. But, now it is time for a new exhibition for those who want to know more about one of the most famous French painters’ of all time.
