Remember the 1980s?
Now that the Provence romane (“Romanesque Provence”) trip photographs have all been uploaded, and before we embark upon the Languedoc roman one with yet more Mediæval wonders to behold, let us take a short break.
In late October 2022, we went to the Paris area to visit family, and over the course of a long weekend, we managed to go into Paris to view an exhibit devoted to The Eighties, visit the château of Fontainebleau, and drive around the lovely river towns of Saint-Mammès and Moret-sur-Loing, at the confluence of the Loing and the Seine rivers. Here are a few photos from that trip which I hope will interest you.
The exhibit about The Eighties that the Musée des Arts Décoratifs put together displayed iconic items from that period of the 20th century during which many of us baby boomers lived their 20s and 30s.
Although I couldn’t honestly say that I “recognized” many of them, it was fun to look at those artefacts, items of clothing or furniture. More than truly familiar friends, they symbolized an age of hope, prosperity, unbridled creativity, without AIDS and COVID, and without such modern-day stupidities such as wokism or political correctness. Those were the days...! :o)
