Jean Chatelus, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 82, was a Lyon-born historian and lecturer at the Sorbonne. Throughout his life, he amassed a collection unique, driven more by an impulse to accumulate than by a traditional collector’s approach. Comprising nearly 400 pieces—sculptures, installations, paintings, photographs, drawings, votive and vernacular objects—the collection explores themes of the body, death, and the fleeting nature of life.Presented almost in its entirety, the collection reflects Chatelus’s evolving tastes: from an early fascination with Surrealism and repurposed objects, to a later focus on body art. It also reveals his keen interest in non-Western ethnographic artifacts, folk traditions, and the works of contemporary art’s outsiders and enfant terribles, including Cindy Sherman, Mike Kelley, Christian Boltanski, Yayoi Kusama, Michel Journiac, Daniel Spoerri, Robert Filliou, Nam June Paik, Joana Vasconcelos, Andres Serrano, and Wim Delvoye.

Best Things to Do

Amusement parks

M51***54

One day one park ticket, one day to basically have the opportunity to play, each project is good, you can also enter and exit the park, with the ticket to enter the park, you can pack out food. The fireworks at night are very ostentatious, great, not cold weather starts at 7 o&#39;clock, it is worth it

Louvre Museum

Museums

Amazing experience. If you want to enjoy the full museum, I recommend going in the morning early already and booking an audio tour or normal tour. If you know what you want to see, a later time is also okay.

What a magnificent structure. The view of Paris is wonderful. You have the option to take the lift or use the stairs.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

SUNSHINE ONUS

Notre Dame is worth it. It is one of the most famous attractions in Paris and a must visit attraction. It was rainy today and the queue was long. Very crowded. Enter the interior of Notre Dame, deeply attracted by the exquisite religious works of the interior decoration, statues, murals, tapestries and so on. Taking a lot of photos and reading a lot of religious knowledge. Worth a visit.

Palace of Versailles

Visiting the Palace of Versailles was an amazing experience, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The palace is about an hour away from the city by train. The gardens are super vast, so be prepared for a lot of walking (suggest to rent a bicycle, golf car or take the shuttle train🤔). There is no need to add the musical show to your ticket if it&rsquo;s scheduled during your visit&mdash;it was free when I went on april. Also, bring some food with you, as dining options inside can be limited and pricey.Keep in mind that once your ticket is scanned, you can only enter the palace once. Make sure to explore the entire palace before stepping out. I arrived 2&ndash;3 hours later than my booking time but was still able to enter without any issues. Be prepared for long queues, especially during peak hours.Overall, it was worth the visit despite the minor inconveniences!

The Centre Pompidou

Walter Zhou-周宜平

The last stop before leaving Paris, I chose the Pompidou Art Center. The building is very unique, like a large industrial factory. No wonder it is written in the modern industrial style on the Internet. Tickets are purchased online and the ticket is issued fairly fast, and it took less than an hour. Art exhibition, although there is no art cell, but follow the feeling, slowly have to go, slowly have to go, with their own perspective to understand, appreciate.
