POURQUOI LONDRES
Londres est l’une des villes les plus fascinantes du monde. Il y a aussi bien des musées reconnus internationalement, des galeries, des monuments, des églises, des bâtiments célèbres mais aussi des discothèques, des salles de concert, des théâtres célèbres pour les comédies musicales et bien sûr une pluralité de magasins. Il y a 2000 ans d’histoire ici, les maisons de célèbres écrivains et musiciens et tout ce dont vous pouvez rêver.
Aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, la plupart de ces choses sont gratuites !
