Sunny Days on the Seine
Photo by Chris Card Fuller ©2007
In the 19th century, walking along the Seine was an invitation to pickpockets and cutthroats. Nowadays, the Seine’s banks belong to artists and lovers.

Coolest of the Cool: Paris Pics
Seems like there’s no end to the number of photos of Paris - is it the most photographed city in the world? Maybe. All I know is that when I stumbled onto Spirit of Paris, something clicked and it wasn’t a camera shutter.
One of my favorite photos from Michel’s site is Mysteries of the Louvre, what’s yours?
I will be writing more about the interesting author of this site - but first, go take a look for yourself and see if you agree with me that these photos are AWESOME (and I …

A Day at the Museum
A recent trip to a Georgia O’Keefe exhibit at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY, reminded me about another thing you have to love about Le Musee d’Orsay in Paris: You can take digital pictures of your favorite paintings. In the old days, flash photography was forbidden in many museums after someone finally had the bright idea that millions of camera flashes per day would eventually have some impact on canvases which each day are nakedly exposed to thousands of viewers exhaling carbon dioxide. When you think about it, seeing ANY masterpiece which hasn’t been shielded with plexiglass and cordoned off with barbed wire is perhaps one of those little privileges in life that we take for granted.

Monet’s Garden -beautiful in fall
Although Monet’s garden is closed as of November 1st, perhaps one of the best times to visit this garden is in early fall - if you are planning a trip to France, keep in mind that the garden stays open until the last day of October. By the end of October, the crowd diminishes. The colors are brighter than ever in the autumn light.

Spring has Sprung in the Luxembourg Garden
Photo by Chris Card Fuller ©2007
The farther away one gets from the Senate building, the wilder the gardens grow. These plantings lead into the elongated section of the Luxembourg Gardens which eventually ends with the splashing finale of Carpeaux’s fountain of the World Continents. The frolicking muses are meant to represent Asia, Africa, Europe and the ‘New World’.
Considered very risque in its day, the frolicking Continents have not lost the sparkle in their eye. However one of the admiring turtles, year after year, has not been able to do his 35 hour per …

Medieval Paris
Because much of Paris was transformed in the 19th century during the Napoleon III era when Haussmann razed older medieval structures and created the wide boulevards which dominate the Right Bank, it’s nice to know whenever an authentic medieval structure gets a new lease on life. Such is the case with The Tour St. Jacques which according to David Downie’s article will be ‘unveiled’ in 2009 (if all goes according to plan). Downie will tell you that he’s interested in the Tour St. Jacques because it was the assembly point for pilgrims headed toward Santiago de Compostela …

Photo of the Day- where is it?
To date, no one has found the last ‘Where is this?’ It was an inlaid sculpture that one can find if you’re walking past the Montparnasse train station (behind the station toward Pasteur). You’ll see it just before the entrance to the Jardin Atlantique. It’s embedded into one of the columns along the sidewalk.
Here’s another photo. This locale should be much easier to identify.
