Iconic

I know le Colonne de Juillet will remain, but looks like the city of Paris will be revamping these iconic journals.  I hope they will keep the character of these wonderful old newsstands.

Mystery Solved, Five Years Later

My first visit to Paris was March, 2007 with daughter Melissa and granddaughter Eva.  One thing I'd put on my To Do list was the Musée Picasso in the Marais. Melissa was our navigator, and as we came up from the Métro, all I remember is we were thrilled to see our first street market.  We enjoyed a quick run through and began our search for the museum which with many helpful strangers,  led us up and down and around until......voilà!  There we were.  Now that I look back on the photos from that day, I see many familiar sights.  I've always wondered where the market was.   Last night I found this shot and recognized the NOW familiar statue at Bastille. Mystery solved.  Marché Bastille!  I've shopped there several times since.

May I add that the museum has been closed for some renovations but is now open.  Put it on your list!

Seems a bit disinterested doesn't he. Perhaps she is telling him something he doesn't want to hear.
