The life of rail

Posted onSeptember 14, 202315 Comments

The bookshop La vie du rail has moved. For many years, it was in a tiny shop in an obscure corner of a major Paris railway station, Gare Saint-Lazare, as shown here in my photos from ten years ago. But since my last visit, the bookshop seems to have moved Read More …

Passage du Prado in Paris

Posted onJuly 24, 2023July 24, 20239 Comments

For many years in the 19th and 20th centuries, 18-20 boulevard Saint-Denis was the address of a publishing company called A.

La Bohème in outer space

Posted onJuly 18, 20237 Comments

Rodolfo, Marcello, Schaunard and Colline are astronauts on a doomed space ship. The engines are inoperative. Supplies of water and oxygen are running low. In the face of death, they start hallucinating, recalling their carefree but impoverished youth in Paris many years before. This is the situation in Claus Guth’s Read More …

Cognacq-Jay Museum in Paris

Posted onJuly 15, 2023July 18, 20233 Comments

The Cognacq-Jay Museum has nothing to do with Hennessy, Remy Martin, Courvoisier, or Martell. Rather, it was named after Ernest Cognacq (1839-1928) and his wife Marie-Louise Jaÿ (1838-1925), the founders and first owners of the Samaritaine department store on Rue de Rivoli in Paris. Cognacq and Jaÿ both grew up Read More …

Wallace Fountain at Place St-André-des-Arts

Posted onJuly 5, 20236 Comments

This Wallace Fountain is one that I’m sure I have overlooked a few times, because in the afternoons and evenings (weather permitting) it is surrounded by the tables and chairs and customers and waiters of the nearby café and restaurant. In the mornings, however, it is out in the open. Read More …

St-Séverin Church in Paris

Posted onJuly 2, 2023July 2, 20239 Comments

The church of Saint-Séverin is in the Latin Quarter in Paris, just 400 meters from the Notre-Dame cathedral and 600 meters from Sainte-Chapelle. I must have walked past the Saint-Séverin Church hundreds of times over the years, without ever going inside, but my curiosity was finally aroused when I read Read More …
