What a special day for you with your beautiful daughter and for us to see a little more of Paris.
I recognised a few areas that you visited. Would loved to have visited Comondo Museum – what a wealthy but sad history.
Happy Anniversary.

Thank you Helen. The last time my daughter came was the day before we moved in October and we went to the new Louis Vuitton foundation on opening day. I still have to write up the story!

Lovely read – thanks for bringing more of Paris to me.The museum looks like a must see, and with such a sad history.

Yes, the history is very sad but the museum is really lovely. Thank you for joining me.

Three months cycling! I’m so envious. With our renovations this year we won’t be able to go on our usual month’s cycling holiday. Hopefully we’ll have a few long weekends. Enjoy your holiday.

Thank you for a lovely post on a beautiful museum that was hitherto unknown to me. I quite understand the bittersweet occasion of meeting up with beloved daughters who live half a world away. Happy anniversary. Barb H

Thank you Barb. Lovely to see you. We bring them up internationally so we have to expect the result, don’t we?

First of all Happy Anniversary!
Having just seen the Woman in Gold and deliberately visiting the Neue Gallery in NYC two weeks ago to see the actual painting, I wondered how this beautiful house and all its belongings survived the Nazi occupation and how the Nazis did not abscond with it all? Was anything said about this in your tour? I also went to the Frick in NYC and that house reflects the same kind of ambience and aura that I imagine you felt in this museum.

I’d have to look into it further. No mention was made of the fact that it escaped pillage but the Nazis were surprisingly respectful of a lot of Paris’ cultural buildings and by the time WW2 came, it was already a museum.
I remember the Frick in NYC which I really enjoyed. The Cortauld Museum in London is along the same lines. I don’t know Woman in Gold. I’ll find out more about it.
Sounds like a very fun day for the two of you. Your daughter is a younger version of you, Rosemary. She is very sweet and I bet you miss her a lot now that she is in New York.

I just loved reading this blog!
I visited that museum a couple of years ago but want to go back again because now I feel I know more about it and would get more out of the visit.
And I felt I was with you as you jaunted about the favourite places of Paris. Lovely!
I’m so looking forward to my visit next month!

Thank you, Butcherbird. I certainly think you should go back and visit. You could also check out the Louis Vuitton Foundation which opened in September. The building itself is worth a visit.

Thank you Daisy. What a pity I missed you!
I really enjoyed going along woth you for the day. The museum looks amazing, so sad that the family lost so much.
And thank you for coming! The museum is certainly worth a visit.

Congratulations Jill! You must be enjoying that!
What a great day and such an interesting story about the family and museum. You were lucky to have great weather for spending the day in Paris!
The weather here is unusually good at the moment!
