So much to catch up on, so little time! After two trips back to France last Fall and this past Spring, there are lots of stories and pictures to share, but I'm already looking forward to my next trip, hopefully sometime this Fall, when I'm planning to do a pilgrimage to sites associated with Toulouse-Lautrec.
The seed of the plan was sown when I picked up a 1950 first-edition copy of "Moulin Rouge" by Piere LaMure, the book that the 1952 movie directed by John Huston and starring Jose Ferrer and ZsaZsa Gabor, and the more recent movie and Broadway musical are based. The book is a biographical novel of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's life, and cites the names and addresses of places where the painter lived, worked, and played.
Here's a teaser of a few of those sites...
