Musée Carnavelet

We visited the Musée Carnavelet
en route to our favourite brasserie
for Sunday brunch.

I don't want to give the impression
that we are half hearted
in our search for culture and knowledge...

the fact that we were prepared to go to a museum
before breakfast
gives an indication of our dedication.

I think I could have stayed all day
wandering along the corridors
and taking photos of the shadows.

Who could resist the chance
to play with their camera
in such beautiful surroundings?

Not me.

Next time we go to Paris
I will go and read the labels.


Many thanks to the Musée Carnavelet
for their welcoming attitude to cameras.

  1. As I read it I am imagining the creaks made by the exquisite parquetry floors.

  3. Tracey left such a beautiful comment.

    I am not going to.

    I am simply going to admit to an enormous surge of envy!

  4. Sometimes
    it's difficult
    for me
    to remember
    that you and yours
    can travel to Paris
    in much the same way
    that I
    can travel to New Jersey.

  5. It's not the Museum (beautiful though it is) that gives your post an air of sophistication for me. It's the fact that you have a favourite brasserie. In Paris.

  9. One thing I never associate you with is half heartedness.

  10. MrM would like to point out that it was his idea to go to Musee Carnavalet on a sunny Sunday morning rather than loitering rather la Madeleine and the blandishments of Fauchon and other places suggested by MrsM.

    The fact that entrance is free at all times was not significant.

    The Louvre does seem a bit much to handle at times - unless one has a guided tour of course.
