Dear Nenad,

I 'm wondering if you would appreciate a piece of news from Paris from time to time? 
I had the honor to meet you a year and a half ago in Paris at Easter just before the beginning of the great concert of our singers from the island of Hvar. I've been following Croworldnet since and I've seen that not so many news come from Paris, or France in general, and cultural events do take place.
Perhaps, these pages target rather North America ? Anyway, I enclose a brief description of two events happening these days.

Best regards,
Maja Cioni
