Of course I took loads of pictures during those three weekend adventures, but I did not have the energy to add them to last night's post. Here they are:
Nuit Blanche Weekend:
Parc Monceau, where I spent a gray afternoon and got to see an absolute army of French schoolchildren at recess:

Matisse, of course:
I went back to the David Lynch window displays on Saturday night (they looked much better in the dark):

Belgian waffles! (and kaffie)

C'est tout pour maintenant!
