Drink with a view… Instead of paying 18$ to go on top of the Hancock tower, choose the Signature Lounge bar. You’ll have a cocktail while enjoying the view. My tip ? The best view is from the woman’s bathroom. Kids friendly before 7pm
Chicago is THE hometown of blues. You’ll love this place : incredible musicians, crazy guitar lines set, awesome voices, charisma… definitely a must-do on your bucket list ! No children allowed. https://www.facebook.com/BuddyGuysLegends
At first, it could sound very difficult but you’ll experiment really quickly how it works and feel thrilled like a kid ! Drive along the lakefront until Museum field. Very funny and interesting guides, few anecdotes about the city, quite expensive but it worth it. My tips : look at groupon or other websites to get coupons or special offers. Sometimes, when paying cash, you’ll have better chances to negociate. http://chicagosegways.com/ http://www.chicagosegwaytour.com/ http://chicago.citysegwaytours.com/ http://www.mysegwayexperience.com/ http://bikechicago.com/segwaytours/ http://www.stevessegwaytours.com/Pages/default.aspx http://www.choosechicago.com/listing/Absolutely-Chicago-Segway-Tours/34743/
One of the latest French-style restaurant to open in Chicago. The food is absolutely amazing ! Ask for their “macaron de foie-gras” or “le boeuf bourguignon” that are to die for… $$$ http://www.theblanchardchicago.com/ – – no parking valet

Would you be thrilled to walk on Mars ? Or to land a spaceship on the Moon ? Put yourself in the shoes of Buzz Aldrin or Neil Armstrong at the Adler Planetarium 🙂 Family friendly. My tip : enjoy the multiple areas for kids along the way to make it more attractive for the youngest (lego construction, robot experimentation, spaceship playground…) http://www.adlerplanetarium.org/
Everything at Eataly smells like home and high-quality food and drink. Indulge yourself into the pleasure. You can shop, dine even take cooking classes. My tips : select your bottle and drink it at the bar with friends or try their fresh mozzarella di buffala with virgin olive oil, squisita. https://www.eataly.com/
The famous “Corn on the cob” towers… Ugly ? Genius ? Architecture masterpiece ? Stunning ! Park directly your boat under 🙂 #marinacity #chicago #viewfromtheriver
There are so many things to discover in this museum that you can easily come twice : visit a real German U-boat, a Boeing 727, a 999 steam locomotive, imagine yourself into the Picard Gondola, go under a coal mine, and many interactive exhibitions… Family friendly http://www.msichicago.org/ And for those who want to visit a US submarine, drive up North : http://www.mydistrikt.com/distrikt/18313410966567078601/post/6454973214466654262
Like the prayer at gospel brunch every sunday at House of Blues. Even if you don’t believe in any God, you’ll feel the energy and the soul spirit. Keep singing ! My tip : free mimosas included ! Family friendly http://www.houseofblues.com/chicago/
Life at the beach… #chicago #clouds #mildwinter Picture taken from Oak Street Beach
An indoor botanical garden in the middle of the city ? True story… at Navy Pier ! Mezzanine Level. Free entrance. Family friendly. http://www.crystalgardenscatering.com/
There are many different cruises to see Chicago from the inside. My favorite is the CAF one. The guide is so talented, he has a story or an anecdote for each building, impressive. Get your cameras ready ! Family friendly. http://www.architecture.org/
Hot temperatures and cloudy afternoon in the Windy city makes this foggy and mysterious atmosphere… Picture taken from Navy Pier
Discover the Art Institute / Et si on se faisait une petite toile?
111 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603, États-Unis
My favorite museum in town ! Two galleries are definitely a must-see : The Impressionnists’ one with an incredible series of Monet, Degas, Renoir and the Fauvistes/Cubistes’ one with Matisse, Picasso and many others. http://www.artic.edu/ Mon musée préféré dans cette ville. Je fonce directement à la salle des impressionnistes pour m’étourdir face au génie de Monet et puis je termine par une bouffée d’audace chez les fauvistes, cubistes et autres précurseurs d’art moderne. Quand à la poésie fantaisiste qui s’échappe des oeuvres de Chagall, elle ne me laisse jamais de marbre… For those who are still searching for more, don’t miss the Milwaukee Art Museum designed by Calatrava. Art with an astonishing view : http://www.mydistrikt.com/distrikt/18313410966567078601/post/9359630910952326254
Details of the bronze Peacock Doors, designed by Tiffany for the Palmer House Hotel. The renovation of the hotel has been magnificient ! Take a look. http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/illinois/palmer-house-a-hilton-hotel-CHIPHHH/index.html
L’art dans la ville… Public art by Chagall in Chicago : the Four Seasons. So delicate ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Seasons_%28Chagall%29
Behind the scenes of the Chicago Theatre / Dans les coulisses d’un lieu mythique
175 N State St, Chicago, IL 60601, États-Unis
Enseigne mythique pour un lieu de spectacle qui l’est tout autant… The elegant lobby, majestic staircase and beautiful auditorium complete with murals above the stage and on the ceiling will leave your breathless. http://www.thechicagotheatre.com/
Urban oasis in the middle of the city. #milleniumpark #luriegarden #cityinagarden http://www.luriegarden.org/
