When we moved from Middleville into a rental home 🏡 Paul said he didn’t want to keep moving the piano from house to house until we purchased something more permanent. We planned to use the electric piano and Clara moved out with the old piano. Once the real piano was gone, no one played anymore. The electric piano was in plain sight and easy to use but no one would just sit and play. This weekend, Clara moved back home and I told her to bring back the piano before her dad came back. It’s been here for a whole 12h and already....
Parc des buttes Chaumont et vue de la butte Bergeyre
Balade à la Butte-aux-cailles et village de Gentilly. This artsy and effervescent neighborhood was built on the filled out bed of the Bièvre River. I took a walk in garbage day, which means that there were garbage on most of my pictures, it was hard to avoid.
Balade au parc de Belleville and the view from the look out (la maison de l’air). You can see the Tour Montparnasse, shooting out of the 15è arrondissement at 209m. Following its controversial construction, a law was passed to prevent buildings higher than 7-storey in the city centre. The building is still considered a blight in the landscape and offers (for 15€) access to a viewing terrasse to the best view of Paris, partly because it’s the only view where you can’t see the tower. By the way, Ottawa people concerned about the Chateau Laurier addition should note that the *exact same thing* was said of the Tour Eiffel. So when people use Paris — usually the Louvre pyramid — as an example of integrating modern additions into heritage urban form, I laugh, and I laugh, and I laugh some more. Because yeah, the Eiffel Tower and the pyramid? The French *hated* them when they were built. They grew into their own legend, they weren’t born that way.
