Went to the Theatre Champs Élysées with my Paris friend J. to hear Russian piano protege Alexandra Dovgan perform. This theater is renown as it is where Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring debuted in 1913, starting a riot. There was no riot tonight just great music by Mozart, Chopin, Franck, and Prokofiev!
Anonymous photo from 1970 of a bocce ball game, and a photo I took 50 years later of a bocce ball game in Paris.
View of new JR sculpture covering Pont Neuf from Pont des Arts over the Seine in Paris.
Amazing that there are only 20 known paintings by Leonardo da Vinci and five of them hang here in the Louvre - if you didn’t know you could just walk past them! (Mona Lisa hangs in a separate gallery…)
Why is the Mona Lisa smiling? I think it must be because she eternally stares at this cat in the painting across the gallery!
Visited the Louvre in Paris. Something is definitely amiss here! 😹
The real new mayor of Paris, watching over the city! 😹
