RUSSIA
What’s so French about Saint Petersburg? Quite a lot, with it’s canals, rivers, and sea. It is almost a museum of French cultural influence mixed with other European countries that were admired and copied by Peter the Great when he founded the city in 1703. Babtiste Alexandre LeBlond was appointed chief architect of Saint Petersburg in 1716 and helped create the new city. We absolutely loved Saint Petersburg with his Parisian harmonious appearance punctuated by enough monuments, churches, mansions and palaces to boggle the mind; especially the State Hermitage Museum.
