We’ve all been made aware of how important it is to save the bees, and I can’t think of anything more wonderful than going to the little beekeeping school of Paris, the Rucher du Luxembourg

Nearly a million bees are in the seventeen hives of the Rucher du Luxembourg (rucher meaning apiary).They produce about 450 pounds of honey, which are sold every Autumn at the Orangerie du Luxembourg, just a few minutes up the garden path.

The 19th century pavilion is a charming site particularly when the beekeepers are out tending to the apiary.

The first beekeeping school in Paris began with the creation of the Beekeeping Society back in 1856, founded by a librarian and teacher named Henri Hamet.

The apiary briefly disappeared in 1866 but was restored in 1872 and ever since, training in modern beekeeping techniques have continued.

Courses introduce students to the complex and magical world of beekeeping, and meet every Saturday morning from mid Feb. to Sept. with breaks in July and Aug.

Students begin learning theory inside the 19th century Pavillon Davioud (pictured above) and then move on to the apiary and practicing their skills with the hives. A final exam earns an official beekeeping degree & permit.

Of course, students have to speak a little French. (Finally, all my years of it would pay off.)

Since more people are keeping bees, Parisians are asked to let the local police headquarters know.

What a beautiful place to learn.

You can visit the beautiful gardens- A ticket is about 13€ ($13), 9€ ($9) for visitors between 16 and 25 years old, and free under 16 years old.

To neurodivergent parisian tourists

The french public transportation and streets in Paris are HELL for people with hypersensibility to noise. The noise is around 80dB with peaks at 90 to 95dB sometimes. Some lines like RER A are calmer, some like line 10 are worse.

Please don't forget your noise cancelling devices of choice, and be safe! My friend and I were so much better with our headphones and earphones.

Last weekend I got to visit Alexandre Dumas' castle and oh boy did he know how to spend his money. This castle has Everything. The whole place just shone with Great Decisions (naturally he had to sell it off after 4 years because money troubles). I genuinely loved it. Look at it:

He named it after his novel, there's a grotto, you get there going through a rock tunnel (all with convenient seats carved in of course) he put his faves on the outside and it all just has so much personality!

I'll put some of my favourite features under the cut:

First of all, I'm gonna make a sepsrate post for Dumas' writing castle, because yes he built a whole seperate castle to write in and it's even more amazing. (The architect for both was Hippolyte Durand).

So, favourite features:

The stonecarvings were so pretty! And so personal! Over everyone window is the bust of a great writer, I spotted Shakespeare, Euripides, Ovid. I can only imagine these were Dumas' literary faves. The windows had stain glass symbolism too, but sadly no explanation what they meant (lots of playing cards and knights though, very fun and dramatic) @pilferingapples do you happen to know why the inscription on the knight window is German? Did Dumas speak german?

The Moorish room! Orientalism was going strong around 1840, and apparently Dumas went to Tunisia and brought back a father son artisan duo to make him this room:

(I really want to know what this cost) it seemed like a great lounging room (especially if you might be just a tad hungover).

Dumas had to sell his furniture, so none of that remained, but the museum did get back his chair:

Very cool, especially since we have a photp of Dumas in that chair (this was apparently where he did his last edits for his serial, it looked very comfy and heavily used)

The dining room was so beautiful and clearly the centre of the house. Dumas apparently cooked for his friends (sadly the kitchen is no more) and the parties must have been so amazing.

It really wasn't as grand or austentatious as I expected. I'd live there in a heartbeat.

And lastly, the feature I only just noticed as we were leaving:

You can barely make it out, but it is Dumas' personal motto on a very pretty carved stone scroll:

"J'aime qui m'aime"

I love who loves me. I want to shake both Dumas' and Durand's hands for every bit of personality they put into this castle. Amazing.

Paris has had seasonal infestations every summer, but the trend has been steadily increasing each year. Over 1 in 10 households experienced bedbugs from 2017 to 2022.
