Here is a "Postcard from Paris" for you. I am not going to Paris this year, and I miss this treasure of a place....so I am reposting a series of Paris shots that bring me back there in spirit. I'll post a few more of these favorites of mine that most new contacts have never seen, until I have time to process a new set of California pictures I took recently. So for now.....here's what the 'postcard' says: ;0)
"Dear Flickr friends....We have just spent two hours in this interesting place, and are on our way up to the terrace to have some espresso and a tarte aux pommes or some other such delicious treat. It's a clear winter afternoon and one can see for miles to the west. The view from the top is fantastic!! All those roofs with their little red chimneys! Inside the museum I especially loved seeing the collection of Kandinskys.
This museum was built on the site of a historic marketplace Les Halles. I wish I had had a chance to visit it when it was still here. It was demolished in 1972 when President Pompidou decided to clear out that historic Marais landmark and build an edifice that people would remember him by. It's a fascinating architecture, and fun place to visit in any case. But enjoying history as much as I do, I wonder what the Halles used to be like. Anyway, we had a fantastic view from up here!! The air was clear enough so you could see miles and miles to the west and southwest. The tarte aux pommes was delicious and it was great to sit outside on this warm winter's day in the fresh air. They even had a rose on each little table on the terrace. Wish you were here!! :o)
Bye for now! - Rita"
