Greenwich village is a district located in the United-States in New-York city which, in the 60s, played an important role in the development of the Folk music.

If you want to do sport, to play chess, to listen music and to learn things about New-York history in the same time, you can walk in the Washington Square Park and see his triumphal arch but you can also visit the Father Fagan, the Minetta Triangle, the Petrosino Square, the Little Red Square and the Time Landscape which are a little more small.

You can also visit places where a lot of movies and series were shot like « Friends », « 30 ans sinon rien », « Across the universe » and « Men in Black 2 ».

Some celebrities were born, have lived or live here like Benedict Cumberbatch (the actor of Doctor Strange), Kate and Allie (two girls who played in an old american serie) and Kinky Friedman (a famous singer, composer-songwriter, novelist and politician).

If you come here during Halloween, you can see the New York's Village Halloween Parade which takes place over more than one kilometer where people in disguise, exhibitionists, puppets and animals are celebrating.
