Buenos Aires has a strong European influence in its architecture and atmosphere. Famous for its sensual music, tango which is danced on every corner of the street. With its 48 neighborhoods and numerous museums, this bustling metropolis offers great diversity that is developing at great speed. Don't forget the Palermo Park, a 500-hectare green space in the heart of the city.

Favored by the subtropical climate, its gentle lifestyle is due to its luxury of space, its peaceful rhythm, its countless parks and the legendary hospitality of its inhabitants. An intellectual exiled at the end of the world, the Porteño is melancholic and charming, proud of his Andalusian and Genoese origins as much as of his French culture. And how can we not mention the Porteño night? The smells of grilled meat that rise above the large open-air parillas, the soft humidity of the tropical night, the milongas where the tango is danced every night in high heels and patent leather shoes, to century-old tunes about unhappy loves and past happiness, which as everyone knows never returns. But in Buenos Aires, more than anywhere else, it is still allowed to dream...
