B.W. La Villa Des Artistes Paris

... but furious that the thief had only stolen his flatmates paintings and that all of his remained untouched!

The tour ended in a little brasserie with a free glass of wine and some yummy olives. Lewey finished his glass (first of the evening...but not the last), whilst Dee sipped at hers, barely drinking any. We chatted briefly to some of the people on the tour and then left to go and have some dinner back at the artists square area. We knew it was touristy, but figured 'hey, we ...

Let me start by saying that I have never had troubles traveling. I always laugh and laugh at my friends who struggle. I may get pulled for more "random screenings" than the next person, but that's the extent of my troubles. Full disclosure's sake....I'm writing this after the fact.

... is a very grand and beautiful cathedral. A very popular attraction. Next we walked to the Pantheon and the Jardin du Luxembourg. We headed back to Montmartre for dinner and then ventured up the hill to see Sacre Coeur at night. The view from the cathedral is amazing and the church itself is both beautiful and eerie in the moonlight. Monday, our last day in Paris, was truly freakin cold. But it was still Paris and I still loved it. It rained ...

It will be baptized Place des Vosges in 1800, in honour of the region which was the first ...

... south, trying to stay as close to the Swiss and Italian borders as possible. We took 3 days to get to the Med, and the whole journey was so magical I've been afraid to go back since, in case it doesn't live up to my memories. In mid April, the snows were only just beginning to melt and the days were crisply cool but sunny. The scenery was astounding, whether it was the lakes and mountains or the timeless and immaculate French villages we passed through. On the first night ...

... levels checking out the paintings and scultures. There were a couple of rooms dedicated to the Art Deco movement, complete with furnishings. I wandered around for hours, leaving the best till last. Gaugin, Van Gogh and Monet. All the works were beautiful. I was getting into it, and then the text came through from Lucy. Now I know that I swear a bit, but **** me, I can't write what she wrote. Basically it was beep, beep, beeeeep ...

... a few tres bien courses later we were sufficiently completement! We are trying to saveur it all slowly, so it will not end! "Ah to wander in Paris! Adorable and delectable existence. Flanerie (strolling) is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye." - Honore de Balzac

... for beer, food and also just soaking in the atmosphere. Soon we came across Häagen Dazs Icecreamy and were enjoying some very nice quality icecream, I had Cookies & Cream, which was delicious, and everyone else had their skirts blown up by the flavour of their respective flavour selections. Outside the rain had started to fall enough to make the majority of people seek cover. After finishing our slightly expensive single scoop icecream, we entered a now less raining walkway ...

... 600 major works. This new building should receive about 500,000 visitors per year. There were six city candidates for this project: Amiens, Arras, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Calais, Lens, and Valenciennes. On November 29, 2004, French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin chose Lens to be the site of the new Louvre building. Le Louvre-Lens was the name chosen for the museum.
