French Magazine Figaro In The Footsteps Of Alexander The Great

In the footsteps of Alexander the Great is the French magazine «Figaro Hors-serie» which will dedicate 115 pages to the presentation of the historical and geographical journey of Alexander the Great and ancient Macedonia, in October.

The magazine supplement in the French magazine «Figaro», will be released on October 13, during the opening day of the great exhibition in honor of the Greek commander and ancient Macedonia, in the Louvre museum.

The magazine’s editor in Chief, Michel de Jaeghere and reporter / photojournalist Isabelle Schmnitz visited Northern Greece in August, in order to discover on behalf of French readers the footsteps of Alexander the Great and record the experiences of their search on paper.

On August 26 and 27, the two magazine officials visited Chalkidiki, and did the coasting tour of Mount Athos. They also visited the archaelogical site of Stagira. The municipality of Aristotle, in cooperation with the Organization of Tourism of Athos peninsula and the Office of EOT in France have already started preparing events to promote local historical routes, but also the current reality of the destination, addressed to the French public.

On August 30 and 31 Figaro’s editors visited Imathia, where French guests of the Regional Unity, and of EOT France were guided in the archaeological site of Vergina, the School of Aristotle, Veria and other sites.

The exhibition entitled “The Kingdom of Alexander the Great, Ancient Macedonia”, will run until January 16, 2012, and includes more than 600 objects, which came to light in the last 30 years.
