While staying in the countryside SE of Paris last summer, we visited the Musée Paul Dubois-Alfred Boucher in Bray sur Seine. This was a piece I especially liked by sculptor, Alfred Boucher.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I can see why you liked it, Virginia! It's the kind of sculpture I'd want to see from every angle but I like this one that you chose for us...and the sepia tones.
She's magnificent, V. As Ginnie said, I see why she appealed to you so much.
It's a good piece, but a little too modern for me.
invisible graffiti ..
Je ne connais pas ce musée à Bray-sur-Seine mais j'ai très envie d'aller le visiter! Moi aussi, j'aime beaucoup cette statue!
You may not believe me, bit I have a photo of a tombstone in Pére Lachaise that looks almost exactly like this!
Absolutely amazing! How do they do that - get the proportions so perfect in every way. It's like a real person took a step forward and turned to stone...
Lovely perspective here, too, V.
How elegant she is! But it looks like she could use a bath!
It's a wonderful sculpture! BTW, I think she just got out of the shower & is writing a note on the steamed-up mirror. Perhaps it's a thank-you note to her friend gravity! (if you see what I mean)
There's a quiet elegance about this piece. It's very beautiful indeed.
It's this sort of thing that makes me want to visit every little museum in France. Lovely.
Oh, Virginia, absolutely gorgeous (sculpture and photo)!
wow... this piece is gorgeous!
