We went to the Place des Vosges on Sunday afternoon, and were able to enjoy the sunshine. We went into a small art gallery and saw some beautiful glass art featuring Tintin - but alas, while I was sure I remembered the name of the artist, searching for it online has been a vain quest.
On the way back we went into the Pavilion de l'Arsenal which, along with the July column in the Place de Bastille was one of the features I used to orient myself. It's a museum of the city and built environment, and we would love to go back and spend more time there. It would be a great rainy-day destination. On a hot day with no air-con it was rather on the warm side, but fascinating. The two photos show a 3D relief model of Paris, and a model for the refurbishment of a multi-story carpark into residential dwelling.
The two sheep were just a window display - an Iceland travel bureau.
Fantastic photos. Interesting the round windows are square on the inside.
