Calder, a true Parisian!
Posted: 08/09/2011 Filed under: museums, paris sites, walking tours Leave a commentAmerican-born Calder’s monumental mobile sculpture is displayed on the Beaubourg-Centre Pompidou piazza. The sculptor, who has been working in France from 1926 on, has covered the all world with his art.
“Horizontal” stayed in Calder’s french workshop until his death, in 1976. The 6-tons Mobile is going to adorn the busy Museum Precinct for some years replacing the monumental “Pot Doré” by Jean-Pierre Raynault that now stands on the rooftop of Beaubourg next to the famous restaurant Georges.
French bread baked by Japanese in Paris!
Posted: 03/07/2011 Filed under: gourmet 1 CommentChris Lomon, give us a break with your parisianism! Japanese can bake excellent french baguettes too!
Where to pick a bento (a japanese lunchbox), a creamy yuzu (lemon) éclair, a green-tea tiramisu and a typical french baguette at the same time? At Aki, for sure!
More, you can sit at the terrasse and order un café noir. So French!
Well, Chris Lomon…what do you have to say about that?!
