In Memory of John Brainerd Morgan

Detail of the American Cathedral in Paris door, Avenue George V, Paris 8e

My eyes were first caught by the blond wooden door and this lacy handle. 

Then I paid attention to the lettering. 

If my sources are good, John Brainerd Morgan was the pastor 

of the American Church in Paris for forty years.

Genie's post, the other day, reminded that I had taken these pictures
and absolutely forgot to post them... 

It's fun to think that we've been at the same place quite at the same time...

Ratatouille

35, rue Fortuny, Paris 17

Sarah Bernhardt bought this house and lived there some years.

Isn't it curious to find these rats nibbling the wall?

Or is it Ratatouille ?

Le mystère des chaises vertes

Jardin des Tuileries, Paris - Dec. 12th, 3.30 pm

As an answer to Genie's last post, I may have another clue... A few days ago, I was wandering in Jardin des Tuileries, and I found this circle of chairs, just like Genie, from Paris and Beyond, did the other day. Now, I think that the chairs in Jardin des Tuileries have a secret life. At night, they waddle on their green legs and gather to chat until dawn. And sometimes, they get caught by the rising sun, so they can't move back. They remain there until someone dare to separate them... 

These little things you can only see at night

Rue Murillo, n°8, 21 et 25, Paris - Nov. 23rd, 9.12 pm

Quand on marche le nez en l'air rue Murillo, on remarque bien ces beaux hotels particuliers, pleins de superbe.

Mais ce n'est que le soir que les fenêtres nous livrent leurs secrets.

C'est le Paris mondain de la fin du XIXe siècle, qui reçoit le soir, les gens de lettres et les artistes. Gustave Flaubert a habité quelques années dans cette rue, dans son "petit appartement" avec vue sur le Parc Monceau.
