On the walk down from the churches, through Montmartre, to Place Pigalle...
 |
| Us at the Love Wall |
 |
| Rebecca and Penelope |
 |
| View from the Basilica du Sacre Bleu |
 |
| Old panoramic map, still in place; not much good touring for a while after 1939... |
 |
| Street scene |
 |
| Stimulating the local economy |
 |
| Historic artsy sights and street scenes... |
 |
| At a Mucha shoppe; don't think he ever did Montmartre |
 |
| Utrillo sight |
 |
Among the many historical markers, this one showing some of the great acts at
the Moulin Rouge...Colette, Edith Piaf, and, personal favorite, Le Petomane |
 |
| Blowing out a candle (look it up) |
 |
Among the last of the windmills; no longer grinding
up gypsum for plaster-of-Paris |
 |
Studio we noticed in 2014 but never found open...this day we rang the bell and
the artiste appeared... |
 |
And Rebecca got herself a wonderful Arcimboldo-like
painting just right for her interests |
 |
| Picasso's first studio in Paris, 1900 |
 |
| At another art history site, Penelope operating the show... |
 |
| Matisse and Gertrude Stein |
 |
So esteemed and admired here that even unflattering
portraits are defaced... |
 |
| More street scenes |
 |
| Beautiful buildings |
 |
| Our journey ends |
 |
Something to think about on the long Metro ride
home |
 |
| Any ride that involves a Guimard is a good one, however |
