After Paris is to rant, shout and yelled about, me think. Therefore, here is my take on curiosities of Paris , part XXVIII !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The Church Saint-Eustache is one of the most visited in Paris The Church Saint Eustache contains a large number of 19C murals and some magnificent works of art such as paintings and sculptures, like the statue of the Virgin and Child of Pigalle, one of the most beautiful of Paris. The visitor entering the Church of St Eustache is immediately seized by the height of the vaults at 33 meters, and the imposing vertical masses that permeate the entire church. The Flamboyant Gothic finds itself at the level of the vaults of warheads, embellished with liernes, tiercerons and ubiquitous pendulous keys. The Renaissance style is expressed in the juxtaposition of the ancient orders, the pillars which are flanked by pilasters, the semicircular arches and, of course, in the abundant decoration on the capitals see the seraphs, baskets of flowers, etc.

The parc Monceau (see post) is a treasure in Paris, not the biggest, not the most known, but a wonderful collection of follies, great architecture in and out on the mansions that surrounded it and two good museums. I have come to name it my top 3 parks of Paris! The old Chartres Rotunda barrier was installed at the entrance to Parc Monceau on the current Place de la République-Dominicaine. It was located 780 meters from the Monceau barrier located to the east and 600 meters from the Courcelles barrier located to the west.  It is a very pretty rotunda, surmounted by a dome; It is is a located towards the middle of the garden and bears the name of the Duke of Chartres, who later became Duke of Orleans, who had this garden planted.

The musée Cernuschi (see post) is a museum dedicated to Asian arts, and more specifically to those in the Far East: China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. It is the second museum devoted to Asian arts in France and the fifth devoted to Chinese art in Europe.  This museum is originally created thanks to the bequest of the collections made in 1896 to the city of Paris by the financier Henri Cernuschi. Inaugurated in 1898, it is one of the oldest museums in the city. The museum is located in the former private mansion of the donor, Henri Cernuschi, near the Parc Monceau, at 7, Avenue Velasquez (8éme arrondissement). Built in a neoclassical style between 1873-1874. It is reach best on metro Villiers lines 2 and 3.

The rue des Trois-Frères is a street in the 18éme arrondissement of Paris. It begins at 48bis-48ter, rue d’Orsel and ends at 10, rue Ravignan. The name comes from the three Dufour brothers, former owners of the place. This street comes from the merger, by a decree of April 2, 1868, of the “rue des Trois-Frères” opened before 1797 between the streets Drevet and Ravignan, on the former village of Montmartre, on land belonging to the three Dufour brothers and which was classified as a Parisian street by a decree of May 23, 1863; and “Rue Léonie,” opened around 1840 between Rue Drevet and Rue d’Orsel, named after the wife of the landowner, and also classified as a Parisian street by a decree of May 23, 1863. The notable buildings on it are at no. 2: The painter and decorator Jean-Baptiste Lavastre had his studio here in 1871. At no. 21: The painter Achille Jean-Baptiste Leboucher lived at this address in 1837. At no. 23 was the location of the dispensary opened by Georges Clemenceau (who was mayor of the 18éme arrondissement), where he practiced medicine despite his political activities until 1906. At no. 56 (at the corner of Rue Androuet) is the grocery store Au marché de la Butte aka Maison Collignon,(see photo) which served as a set in the film “Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain” by Jean-Pierre Jeunet in 2001. This shop is a true symbol for fans of the film. Walking past this grocery store will immerse you in the magical world of Amélie Poulain.
