This area had been used as a cell. To be honest, I’ve forgotten who was in this one (and drew the beautiful murals), it was either the Marquis de Sade, or Charles V’s confessor, Garcia de Laoysa.
Château De Vincennes

The seat of french power, long before Versaille. The comparatively modest keep, is still quite charming. I had a great afternoon wandering around.
Dali

Dali museum was interesting. Actually learned a fair bit about his recurrent symbolism, but more about his incredible business acumen. Amazed to find his commercial style production process means that you can still buy new, ‘original’ works at the gallery. For a tidy sum!

The tower

An unusual angle to view the tower, from a small island in the Seine. I did walk rather a long way that day!
To market

The Barbès – Rochechouart market was quite chaotic. Stong arabic influence here. Full of vibrant produce and enthusiastic sellers!

Working out

I had to do something while I waited for Rachel to do a 10k run! Goats cheese and caramelised onion galette seemed like an appropriate way to spend the hour 🙂
Grand Palais
Renoir

My mother’s favourite painter. I think he may be mine too. There is something truly amazong about the life he could bring to a portrait. To see a *real* one, up close… quite a privilege.
