Paris, non loin de Matignon. Nous sommes un mardi. Il fait très froid.
Une réunion professionnelle au Bristol avec Eric Frechon, grand Chef émérite et d'une belle humanité.
Je profite de l'occasion pour vagabonder dans ce quartier animé et argenté. Sur les trottoirs gris vont et viennent des gens simples ou fortunés, souvent in-différenciables.... Dans un chassé croisé de taxis, un petit peuple d'"élus" vivent de riches heures dans un quotidien fait d'une banalité toute "confondante"...

Paris, not far from Matignon. It was Tuesday and very cold.
I had a business meeting at the Bristol's with Eric Frechon, a highly skilled Chef and a very nice man.
I took the opportunity to wander in this lively and silvery coloured area. On the pavements people from all walks of life (although most of the time they all look the same) are coming and going.... A lot of taxis. And for the “chosen” few people life is good , for the rest life is more mundane.
Facade view of the historic Paul Bishop building at 363-5 Adelaide Street East. The building was constructed circa 1842 for Paul Bishop, a blacksmith and landlord whose shop was across the street. These two attached brick houses are significant examples of Georgian-style residences that used to be common in Toronto, one of which is now occupied by NewWall House, a designer wallpaper showroom. It received heritage designation from the Ontario Heritage Act in 1998.

Construction on the Capitol began in February 1882. Originally, the exterior was to be limestone, but the stone that was quarried streaked when exposed to air. Granite, a harder, more expensive stone, was proposed. The debate delayed construction for almost two years. Finally the decision was made to use "Sunset Red" granite donated by its owners in what is now Marble Falls, Texas. The state gave the stone to the contractor along with 1,000 convicts to quarry it. When, in 1885, the granite cutter's union objected to the use of convict labor and boycotted, the contractor responded by importing experienced stonecutters from Scotland.

Me apetecía editar las fotos del viaje a Edimburgo, puesto que en su momento las subí sin edición alguna. Fue un viaje increíble y las fotos creo que podrían reflejarlo aún más.
