A walk in Paris

[Mr Earl]

Also down the street is the Musee Maillo
actually Maillot is up the road, you can see it in the background in the Eiffel tower pics

actually my mistake, it was "Palais de Chaillot" in the background, not "musee maillot" which I have no clue where it is, maybe near "Pte Maillot"

not used to those strange name anymore,

I spelled it wrong. Musee Maillol. It's 61 rue de grenelle, alas it's closed through September.
Aristide Maillol, one of the great sculptors.


Almost as good as Rodin. Rodin was something very special


Interesting sidenote to the musee Mailol. The model for much of his stuff was the one running the museum, interesting older lady. I wonder if she's still alive.

Musee Maillol. It's 61 rue de grenelle,

damn, not far from where I live now, never heard of that one

I might know the building though,

they even have a website and a wiki entry

http://www.museemaillol.com/

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_Maillol

it seems to be more of an art gallery than a full museum

Paris in summer is not too bad

that stupid idea of "Paris Plage" by our "Notre de Dame de Paris", that is our gay mayor, is an absolute disgrace

traffic jam everywhere,

it has been raining quite heavily for the last 3 days, quite miserable

Hum maybe you're not a true parisian? We never use car to wander in the town in daytime, it's either bike/moterbike, metro or bus...
Giving so much space to cars in this town is a mistake, I'm glad that they try to give back some life to the riverside, at least in august when parisians tend to go on holidays...

Don't worry for the weather, the sun is comming back this WE.
