Exploring Florence is like visiting an open-air museum, with dozens of extraordinary buildings such as the fabulous Duomo or the Palazzo Vecchio. I think that the view from the basilica San Miniato al Monte might be one of my favourite in Italy. So beautiful!
🇫🇷 Se promener à Florence, c’est un peu visiter un musée à ciel ouvert, tant la ville regorge de bâtiments extraordinaires tels que le fabuleux Duomo ou le Palazzo Vecchio. Je crois que la vue depuis le basilique de San Miniato al Monte est l’une des mes préférées en Italie !
