was glued to the screen as the time speed by. I visited a park on a walk to Notre Dame the last time I was in Paris. I will need to locate my photo file and do a little more research, but the park with the bust of Gericault looks familiar. The small boutique hotel in Montemartre, near the Seine was far superior to the chain hotels in the 1st.

I thank you for sharing the link. I fell in love with the Impressionists since my only university course in art. Probably because I am near sighted and the art reflects my lens.
