As tradition would have it, art students went to painstaking ends to copy the works and techniques of the masters. In Paris at the Palais Royal, Musée du Louvre it is not uncommon to see art students with canvas and easel in the galleries sketching or painting copies of the works before them.

Place des Vosgues
In one month Patricia and I will be traveling to Paris and will stay at Place des Vosgues. This is one of Paris' oldest squares built originally as a palace for Queen Catherine d' Medici and Henry IV. The palace has been divided up into 36 residences and over the years has housed famous tenants such as Victor Hugo.
Place des Vosgues is located in the Marias district of Paris, a vibrant neighborhood of young and old, gay and straight and is known for art galleries, cafes, shopping and many bakeries, bistros and bars.
During the late 1500s the square was the location for many public events such as jousting which led to the tragic death of Henry IV being poked in the eye and his death after which Queen Catherine vacated the palace. Much history has passed since with the upheaval of the revolution in the nearby Bastille. Marais became a poor section of Paris in he early 1900s and place where Jews were rounded up and children sent to camps in Germany.
We look forward to discovering this rich Parisian history.

Boulangerie du Paris
My friend Mike is currently living in Paris and running a tech company there. His life in Paris reminds me of when I traveled to Paris to shoot a film back in the 1980s and especially those amazing breads, pastries and coffee's at the Boulangerie.
