Peeked out a window at the bibliothèque national Richelieu only to see my old neighborhood and apartment on the Square Louvois. Great memories! I remember the first time I saw the fountain in that square In the center of the trees containing sculptures that represent four major French rivers and rivers: the Seine , the Garonne , the Loire , and the Saône. French architect Louis Visconti created the Louvois fountain. Love you rue Lulli, Paris. . . . #paris #parisphoto #parisjetaime #parislife #parisart #parismonamour #parismaville #parislove #pariscity #villedeparis #iloveparis #parisfind (at Square Louvois) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClThK9PtDeR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking up at the ceiling of what is now known as the Galerie Mazarine in 1721, the Palais Mazarin became the site of the King's Library now the Richelieu site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Cardinal Mazarin from 1645 to 1647 commissioned the Italian painter Giovanni Francesco Romanelli to create scenes from the works of Ovid in the ceiling of the house of this upper gallery ! Nice that we can visit it today. . . . #paris #bibliothèque #parisjetaime #parislife #parisart #parismonamour #parismaville #parislove #pariscity #villedeparis #iloveparis #parisfind (at Bibliothèque nationale de France) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClQ9WvwtmRg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pax Armata: armed peace is a work sculpted originally in marble by Lucienne Heuvelmans. It was cast into bronze in 1922 to be the monument to the victims of the 1914-1918 war of the city ​​of Leuze. It seems a forgotten memorial to those that lost there lives in WW1. Armistice to Veterans Day. . . . #paris #antiwarart #invalides #parislife #parisart #parismonamour #parismaville #parislove #pariscity #villedeparis #iloveparis #parisfind (at Les Invalides) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck24JfUrbMe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sitting in the warm mellow lights of the Café Le Nemours, Paris.

Visiting and climbing the steps of The Tour Jean-sans-Peur, Paris. Visited the hole used as a toilet by the Duke of Burgundy in the tower that would also contain a bed chamber where he would hide out. The grand stairway of the original residence, which stood next to it is a special thing to see. Lovely spot that dates to the time of the Middle Ages. The museum always features information about hygiene and life in the Middle Ages. . . . #paris #tourjeansanspeur #parisjetaime #parislife #parisart #parismonamour #parismaville #parislove #pariscity #villedeparis #iloveparis #parisfind (at Tour Jean-sans-Peur) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkfvRisLhUg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Three somewhat brooding self-portraits by men having special exhibitions in Paris: Walter Richard Sickert (1860 –1942) at the Petit Palais. Edvard Munch (1863-1944) at the Musée d’Orsay. Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. All quite wonderful. . . . #paris #selfportraits #parisjetaime #parislife #parisart #parismonamour #parismaville #parislove #pariscity #villedeparis #iloveparis #parisfind (at París, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkNWhnorOyu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Liberty, Marianne, Mother France in the center of Place de la Republique, Paris. An often abused sculpture from 1883. A work by the Morice brothers (Léopold, sculptor and François-Charles, architect) and produced by the Thiébaut art foundry. “Is tagged with graffiti every Saturday, at each protest”, a bartender said who works on the square. Looking lovely still in the autumn sunshine. . . . #paris #placerepublique #parisjetaime #parislife #parisart #parismonamour #parismaville #parislove #pariscity #villedeparis #iloveparis #parisfind (at La Place de la République) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkIOkCILjEF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
