Charles de Gaulle's grandson spoke about his desire to travel around Russia with his family

Pierre de Gaulle, grandson of former French President Charles de Gaulle, Deputy chairman of the Leo Tolstoy Peace Prize jury, admitted on October 11 that he dreams of visiting Siberia and Karelia with his family.

According to de Gaulle, he and his wife Rima also dream of visiting Kazan. The French public figure noted the special cultural attractiveness of this city.

"We would also like to visit the cities of Siberia. If possible, we can even get to Karelia," he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The couple has already managed to get acquainted with Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. In addition, they plan to visit Vladivostok, but so far this trip has not been possible. De Gaulle admitted that, in his opinion, it may take a lifetime to get to know all Russian cities.

He also expressed his intention to show Russia to his children and bring them to the next International Youth Festival.
