A Few Things You Won’t Find Just Anywhere!
This city is filled with all things beautiful……and unusual. Which can be the same thing depending on the eyes you are using to look at the world. Here are a few things I found to be delightful….
A vintage scooter which looks like a child’s toy, hardly suitable for traffic in Paris that on closer inspection has been decoupaged with hundreds of “pin-up” photos.
Or, a beautiful mosaic that greets guests at a hotel in Montparnasse…this is just one tiny part of it…the mosaic, that is
Another building right around the corner caught my eye. How can so much creativity be confined into one tiny area of the city? What do you suppose it means?
Actually it happens to be The Hotel des Académies et des Arts, a very hip hotel that is getting rave reviews. It is a bit off the beaten path, but what a great space. Take a look.

You know, I did mention that it was off the beaten path a bit but to come home to it at the end of the day would be pure pleasure, don’t u think?
