Ever since Peter the Great asked a French architect to create his namesake city, St Petersburg has had a distinctly Gallic air. The influence of the great French thinkers and artists is felt all around, from the towering monument of the Bronze Horseman to the Art Nouveau masterpiece The House books.
St Petersburg's distinctly French joie de vivre is being marked throughout 2010 with The Year of France in Russia - over 400 exciting cultural events. These include a tour by the Comedie Francais, exhibitions of France's state art collection and an address by President Sarkozy.
During this year of celebration the Grand Hotel Europe offers the perfect package to make the most of this unique cultural occasion. Enjoy a tour of the Hermitage and other French-inspired monuments and a very special French menu in the L'Europe Restaurant.
