So much has happened since I last wrote that I’m not quite sure where to start. Looking through my photos it occurred to me that I hadn’t sent any of the great desserts we’ve encountered- which we haven’t always eaten but simply admired almost like a great work of art.

We went to one of our favorite fish restaurants on Rue de Seine, Huguette, not just for the fish but for their version of a pavlova. Here it is—

The Louis Vuitton Fondation opened another wonderful exhibit in their Frank Gehry museum – this time of Calder marking the 100th anniversary of his arrival in Paris in 1926. I never appreciated the artistry of Calder as I do now after seeing how he changed and developed his art. He started with simple wire making hanging sculptures later named “mobiles” by the artist Marcel DuChamp. The exhibit traces his development from these simple sculptures to the massive works we all know so well.

Overall it is an exhibit that puts a smile on your face and makes you happy. We all left feeling a bit lighthearted and gay.

In a very different style we saw a small exhibit of the artist Juliana Wildner below.

And- A visit to a museum not too far from us- one of Paris’ many small museums – hidden gem with amazing gardens. Musee Bourdelle.
