I'm so glad that I have now this almost two hour-stroll (at least) through Paris every weekend! And with a lot of further information coming together. Fantastic work!<BR/>Starting with the Cité. It's amazing, but yesterday I found a DVD with William Klein's film «Grands soirs Petits matins» on May 68 and this afternoon I was having a look back in time seeing it, when I found there some scenes caught at the Cité... I was there at the Maison du Portugal to meet some friends in 1969, and it was quite a discovery... It looks much nicer now, though. Or probably are your pictures that make it much nicer!<BR/>The Campagne Première Street is a huge surprise. It seems that most of the important cultural names had some connection there! The building at Raspail is superb and the pictures of the buildings at Campagne Première and at the Passage d’Enfer are wonderful! Amazing that «Le Fou d’Elsa» met her at the Istria… and that Picasso had his studio on your accidental guide’s workplace… Not to mention Sartre and Castor!!<BR/>Camondo and Cartier; definitely have to get back to Paris!<BR/>Interesting that you also found what probably are the remains of the Jansenist stronghold in Paris… Beautiful cloister and lovely pictures, with some roses to add…<BR/>That green colour you found on the Parc Montsouris is awesome!<BR/>Finally, Villa Seurat is another secret you have revealed to us! It may be a bit deceptive when you get there, but seeing your pictures I find no reason to complain… Seurat, Miller and Dali are more than enough to make a street famous… And the Giant looks really great… ;))<BR/>Hope you have a great week!GMGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06775262251208390861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-13577956763557777432008-05-25T20:51:00.000+02:002008-05-25T20:51:00.000+02:00The building with Isoré is quite amusing. :-)<BR/><BR/>Do they paint it from time to time ?Cuckoohttp://cuckooscosmos.com/Musings/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-32498058520671677022008-05-24T20:33:00.000+02:002008-05-24T20:33:00.000+02:00Peter, be careful of the giant!! =))Emily Linhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00504803750360861437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-71942329385241489682008-05-24T12:23:00.000+02:002008-05-24T12:23:00.000+02:00I completely agree with you about the buildings, Peter.<BR/><BR/>(I have moved to a new address, Wordpress)Aprilhttp://cologneblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-1949129114109213422008-05-24T07:58:00.000+02:002008-05-24T07:58:00.000+02:00Bonjour Peter,<BR/><BR/>Un petit tour... entre le grand prix de Monaco et la grève de la SNCF qui me laissa désappointée sur un quai de gare désert, heureuse de rentrer et de vous retrouver tous.<BR/><BR/>Je te souhaite un bon WE et à très bientôt.Mathildehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620279089076762447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-11160269033064534352008-05-24T00:48:00.000+02:002008-05-24T00:48:00.000+02:00What an interesting post, Peter.

Now it is more associated with the famous Indianapolis 500 motor car race and lots of drinking, barbecuing, and eating of grilled hot dogs.<BR/><BR/>I like your post and was fascinated by "Isore" who was the giant killed there at the tomb of Issoire. In biblical times there were giants here and some were monumental in size.
