What a wonderful day with my sister Madeleine and my family in Paris. Woke up at 9am and made French Toast with yesterday's perfect baguette, served with cassis, blueberry and raspberry jam and creme fraiche, coffee; walked to the bird market near Notre Dame and saw this architectural detail:
Peeked into the Archives courtyard and saw this huge poster of an old old ledger book that is a bound book of every document that one man notarized.....(for Amy White)

One of the most amazing museum I have ever been to - thanks to Annika for the recommendation a few days ago, we happened to stumble past it - Museum of Hunting and Nature in Le Marais.
NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN PARIS, YOU MUST VISIT THIS MUSEUM!
One thing I especially love about this museum is the combination of ultra-contemporary art exhibited alongside ancient tapestries and porcelain sculptures.....including a Mark Dion installation room of a hunting cabin basedon the Sommers actual hunting cabin. The Sommers were hunter-environmentalists (?***!!!!!!) and pushed for this foundation.

You could pull out these framed drawings and drawers of teeth and artifacts throughout the museum for each animal. I LOVE this drawing.
