Changes at Place de la Bastille

Posted onNovember 9, 2022November 28, 202210 Comments

The Place de la Bastille is one of several squares in Paris that have been completely rearranged in recent years, to reduce the amount of space devoted to motor traffic and increase the space allotted to pedestrians and cyclists. The July Column, at the center of the square, was previously Read More …

Bourse de Commerce; Pinault Collection

Posted onNovember 5, 2022November 5, 20227 Comments

Paris has finally found a good use for its Bourse de Commerce, an impressive circular building that was originally used as a wheat market in the eighteenth century. (I imagine that this was where Balzac’s Père Goriot made his fortune as a wholesale grain dealer during the French Revolution.) François Read More …

Co-working spaces in Paris

Posted onOctober 29, 2022November 13, 202218 Comments

One of the big changes in Paris in the last few years has been the proliferation of co-working spaces throughout the city and the nearby suburbs. I have never used any of these co-working spaces, so I can’t speak from personal experience — I’m just trying to figure out what Read More …

Three more Wallace Fountains in Paris

Posted onOctober 23, 2022October 23, 202210 Comments

Boulevard du Palais This is a Wallace Fountain that I must have walked or cycled past dozens or even hundreds of times over the years, without ever stopping for a closer look — which is perhaps not surprising, since Paris has over a hundred of these ‘large model’ fountains (the Read More …

Posted onOctober 19, 2022October 20, 202212 Comments

The Cluny Museum (National Museum of the Middle Ages) in the Latin Quarter of Paris has reopened after being closed for a year and a half. The displays have been totally reorganized and are now mainly in chronological order. Ramps and elevators have been installed to connect the different levels Read More …

The Rabbi’s Cat

Posted onOctober 12, 2022November 6, 202212 Comments

After going on an excellent Jewish guided walking tour of the Marais district in the morning, I was ready for some Jewish entertainment in the evening. Fortunately, the historic Théâtre de l’Œuvre, in the 9th arrondissement, was showing a musical called Le Chat du Rabbin (The Rabbi’s Cat). Several years Read More …

Jewish Marais tour with Livia

Posted onOctober 2, 2022November 27, 202216 Comments

Some time ago, on a whim, I typed “7 rue des Rosiers Paris” into Google Maps, just to see the building where I had lived for two months in 1962 and for a month and a half in 1966. I was surprised to find a listing at this address for Read More …

Rue des Rosiers

Posted onMay 20, 2022October 2, 20229 Comments

This house in the Marais district of Paris is where I lived for two months in the autumn of 1962, and again for a month and a half in the autumn of 1966. I learned of this place from a handwritten notice that was taped to a light post nearby. Read More …

38,000 works of art

Posted onApril 13, 2022April 23, 202218 Comments

There are said to be 38,000 works of art on display in the Louvre in Paris, so it’s sort of like the internet or the Frankfurt Book Fair — you can’t possibly see them all, so you have to navigate to see what you want, or take potluck. And don’t Read More …

Orpheus and Eurydice on bicycles

Posted onMarch 14, 2022March 18, 202211 Comments

As a fan of both operas and cycling, I of course wanted to see the show Orphée et Eurydice à bicyclette (Orpheus and Eurydice on bicycles) that was playing in Paris at the Lucernaire in January 2018. This “musical fantasy” was written by Pierre Lericq, who also performed it along Read More …
