Minneapolis, the city of the Prince

To go from Chicago to Minneapolis, you have to take interstate road 90 then road number 94 …

650 kilometers, we go further north. We cross l’Illinois, the Wisconsin and its famous cheddar cheeses that have nothing to envy to mature French cheeses.

And we arrive in the state of Minnesota essentially rural where nestles Minneapolis. Ferde Grofé composed a suite around the Mississipi where he depicts among other things this american state.
