Always a must see on visit to Louvre!

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, one of the most famous statues at the Louvre, located at the top of a monumental staircase.

Each time I post a photo of the “victoire de Samothrace /Winged Victory I have to face reproaches. Today among the 3 first comments : 2 comments with reproaches : why didn’t I mention the Greek name and why didn’t I mention it was a Greek statue.

Now I am waiting for the next one (I promess it will come soon) : Why is this statue at Le Louvre as it should be in Greece ? i understand but I will answer that I am not responsible for which works of art is in le Louvre and that it’s too heavy for me to take it back to Greece …
At the same time one of these persons feels free to download my photos (instead of sharing them..)

Peonies in Saint Germain des Prés, Paris 6

This is where I was this morning (on Ile de la Cité, center of Paris). Photo taken on April 1 2023.
This is « le café des deux Palais », that you may know already as I often spot it when we pass along, during my lives filmed from bus 38.
A nice old style café-brasserie and nice welcoming and service.
Very busy on weekends (Parisians and visitors).
And during the weekdays, you often see lawyers in this cafe ( = the law court is located on the the opposite side of the street).

Café des 2 Palais : at the corner of Place Louis Lépine and the bd du Palais on Ile de la Cité. Metro stop : La Cité

Beautiful shot

Happy 135th birthday to the Eiffel Tower - inaugurated 31st March 1889!
One of her competitors to be the centre piece for the grand Paris fair she was designed for, was a 300m (almost 1000 feet) high guillotine! Yes really. She was almost sent to Montreal in Canada – all 2.5 million rivets and 18,000 pieces! A conman ‘sold’ her for scrap. Her first famous visitors were the British Royal family & Buffalo Bill! Gustave Eiffel made an absolutely fortune from the Eiffel Tower! She has the most amazing history! Find out more here: https://thegoodlifefrance.com/the-fascinating-history-of-the-eiffel-tower/

Palm Springs is fun. Lots to do starting with Sunnylands, once owned by Annenbergs. Today free to all with amazing cactus garden and historic references. Good art museum with small house from back east being reassembled next to it. Beautiful mountains, aerial tramway which takes you up to 8500 ft ! Of course the ubiquitous wind turbines which dominate

Stayed at Margaritaville Hotel in Palm Springs. Good vibe. Delicious breakfast, everything bagel with everything on it, salmon, red onion, egg, tomato and greens plus capers, and cream cheese! Pools and chairs!

Arrived in Palm Springs. Notice photo so typical of Palm Springs, houses nestled up to mountains. Vietnamese dinner very delicious, with beer from Laos and wine from Paso Robles!

Mexican cuisine delights taste buds with its rich flavors, and it's all thanks to centuries of tradition, history, and cultural mash-ups.

From our spices to our staples like corn, beans, rice, and much more, it serves as a unifying force, bringing people together and proudly representing our international roots. 🫔🫘

Do you have a favorite Mexican dish? 🍽️

This is probably my favorite poem of all time. It resonated with me from a young age. I've never been one to walk the popular and expected path. I thrive outside the box. Don't be afraid to take the path less traveled by.
