DOSSIER - London: let's swing again!

The years of crisis that drove the City to despair seem so long ago. London is forging ahead with a skyline designed by some of the greatest names in international architecture. The British capital is rehabilitating its neglected districts and injecting billions of pounds into its infrastructure. It has even managed to establish itself as a hub for the contemporary art market, almost on a par with New York and Paris! London is no longer just a financial centre; it has also invested in high technology... As a result, the number of hotels is growing and multiplying. The same is true of the gastronomic scene, which has never seen so many stars. It's easy to see why this dynamic trend is encouraging more and more French people to head for the other side of the Channel. Report by Cécile Balavoine - Photos by Ludovic Maisant
