Mural on the quai

This beautiful, muted painting is in the 5th on rue des Grands Degres, right above a restaurant I want to try.

I am always so happy to see things like this because I feel like they’re “survivors.” And they should survive!

The slightly-tinted glass in the windows of the Musee Carnavalet enhanced the view of its courtyard gardens.

 I like the geometric patterns in the glass and gardens.

There’s opulence, and then there’s opulence. Versailles outdoes it all.

 I enjoyed this view of the light chandelier against the intricate religious scenes above.
