From photography, sculpture, painting, from large to small scale, Park City’s art galleries are truly world class. Their website currently features over 50 artists specializing in a range of mediums from recycled sculpture, to colorful acrylic collages to painting to Wind Sculptures. From his “Slopes” series, which depict fun, whimisical winter scenes from Park City to his “Gentle Giants” which depict horses, buffalo, cows, etc in their natural environment, his Kranstover’s work is beautiful and unique. While his official address lists as Park City, his studio is located in the sleepy town of Peoa, just outside of Park City.

This home is a 3 bedroom, wood clad, mid-century modern home located on a rocky outcrop (much like the Albert Frey’s Cree house, which you can read about here), designed and built in 1952 and completed in 1954. After purchasing a round Pierre Cardin coffee table, the owners became completely obsessed with collecting all things Pierre Cardin, the famous European designer from the 1970’s and 1980’s. 2020 tour was this quintessential Palm Springs mid-century home designed and built by revered architect Donald Wexler for his own family in 1955. 2020 tour was a short and interesting film about the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation’s work to save the Town and Country Center in Palm Springs.

The Fondation Louis Vuitton is a contemporary art museum situated in Paris’ famous Bois de Boulogne, near the Jardin d’Acclimation. Commissioned by LVMH chief Bernard Arnault, and designed by world famous architect, Frank Gehry, the building proudly takes its place among Paris’ magnificent monuments, enhancing its rich cultural landscape. His inspiration for the Fondation Louis Vuitton came from a historical study of 19th century glasswork, his observation of Paris and his interest in contemporary art. At the very top, the levels overlook “the canyon” and offer partial views of Paris – the Bois de Boulogne, the modern “La Defense” area, the Eiffel Tower – which allows one to place the building in context.

Located off France’s northwestern coast of France, at the mouth of the Couesnon River, where Normandy and Brittany merge, the UNESCO designated World Heritage site of Le Mont Saint-Michel is both a man-made and natural miracle. Visitors today wind their way up through narrow streets, past small houses, restaurants, hotels and boutiques to the top, where the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel is perched high above. Part of the incredible allure of the Mont-Saint-Michel are the powerful tides that sweep way out during low tide and wash up to the base of the Mont during high tide. Here, you will find many buses which run from Pontorson as well as straight from major cities in the area: Caen, Rennes, Saint-Malo,… The parking lots are located approximately 1.5 miles away from the island, in the interest of preserving Le Mont-Saint-Michel’s spectacular surroundings.
