G. and I probably walked through 10 different neighborhoods on Saturday, which promted this photos taking some repose on the arguably trendy Canal de St. Martin. Despite it’s bougie surroundings, it is probably one of my favorite places in Paris.

Coco Chanel by Marie Laurencin
A paitner I had never heard of, a woman of course, a contemporary of Picasso, she had her own little room at the Orangerie Museum and I was so taken by her work, lots of greys and roses and blues, the paintings all had women and dogs in the them, a comment on ladies nature? But of course she is not as rememebered as all those other modnerist dudes, even if her paintings are way more interesting.
Orangerie Museum
I finally got to see Monet’s waterlillies in person and also sme impressionist work, though I loved these window most of all.
Jardins De Luxembourg
I love the chairs set out in public gardens in Paris. The perfect place to hang out and write postcards to my family.
Café Flor
Where the existentialists hung out, it seemed like a great place to write a letter to S, who loves Simone de Beauvoir. The cafe crème was excellent, if pricey.
