Travel France: Paris Picasso Museum, Louvre, Love Locks on Bridges
Today we visited the Picasso Museum in Paris (in the Marais District), which was reopened last October 2014. The museum is a renovated 17th century building, which in itself is a pleasure to visit. (The vaulted ceilings with wood rafters in the top floor are quite handsome!)

Travel France: Chapel Clinique Blomet, Bastille, Charlie Hebdo, Grand Mosque of Paris
Today we visited the chapel at the Clinique Blomet (its full name is Chapelle des Soeurs Sainte Marie de la Famille de la Clinique Blomet). This is a beautiful neo-Gothic chapel built in 1890 with lovely stained glass windows. It's very peaceful inside and is a wonderful place to pray. The chapel, which used to be part of a nunnery, is now that of a hospital. One needs to enter the lobby to get into the chapel.

Travel France: Ernest Hemingway in the Left Bank of Paris
Ernest Hemingway, photo courtesy of Wikipedia
Sunday, I set out to trace (some of) the steps of the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway. I'm staying in the Saint Germaine District, on the Left Bank, where Hemingway had lived in the 1920s. It was a cloudy and brisk day, very different from the sunny days we've been having, a good day for a walk. From our apartment near the Pont Neuf, I walked South in search of the buildings Hemingway had occupied and to get a feeling of his Paris world back then.

Travel France: Paris, Luxembourg Garden, Conciergerie, Cluny Museum
We visited the Luxembourg Garden in Paris, which was started in 1612 by Marie de'Medici. The Luxemburg Garden is owned by the French Senate; the garden is open to the public. The sun was up and people sat around in chairs and benches to enjoy the lovely weather.

France Travel: Paris, Sainte-Chapelle and Musee d'Orsay
To avoid the crowd of tourists, we went early to Sainte-Chapelle. Even at 9:30, there was already a line although the wait to get in wasn't that bad. People entered in batches. We went through a metal detector and security check, after which we bought our tickets and entered the royal medieval chapel built by St. Louis (King Louis IX) in the 13th century. The Gothic chapel was intended to house Jesus' crown of thorns and other relics.

Travel France: Impressionist Painter Claude Monet's Giverny
We left Brittany and made our way to Giverny where the artist Claude Monet had lived. Monet was one of the founders of Impressionism. From Wikipedia, I quote:
"From 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property, and began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life."
Claude Monet, picture courtesy of Wikipedia
The top pictures were taken at Giverny. It was a sunny day and relatively warm, and the flowers at Giverny were blooming. Unfortunately, Giverny was crowded, which minimized the pleasure of the visit, but it was still a great opportunity to see the artist's house and pond. We also saw a Degas exhibit at Giverny.
One of the things I have enjoyed in our trip is seeing the sites, such as Honfleur, Pont-Aven, and Giverny, that had inspired famous artists.
The other night we stayed in a house that featured in one of Monet's paintings (titled On the Bank of the Seine, Bennecourt), the original of which is exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago. (Look at the house on the top right of the painting. See that window? That's the window of the room we occupied!)

In Paris, we met our friend, Michael Genelin, mystery writer of the Jana Matinova Series: Dark Dreams,Siren of the Waters, and another one forthcoming. Here are some pictures with Michael.
