“The Church of the Val-de-Grâce is a Roman Catholic church in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, in what is now the Val-de-Grâce Hospital. The edifice was formerly a royal abbey, and its dome is a principal landmark of the skyline of Paris. The church was initially designed by François Mansart, succeeded by Jacques Lemercier who designed the Saint-Sacrament chapel's spiral-coffered dome after Philibert de L'Orme's chapel at the Château d'Anet.” (Val-de-Grâce, Wikipedia)

“Rue Benjamin-Franklin is located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. At one end of the street is a monument in honor of Franklin, who in addition to being one of the founding fathers of the United States was also a resident of Paris for a period of time. The street took on the name ‘rue Franklin’ in 1791. The bronze statue sits on a stone pedestal inlaid with bronze tablets. The statue was a given to Paris from John H. Harjes, an American banker, in honor of the 200th birthday of Franklin who lived near this spot from 1777 to 1785. He lived at the Valentois Mansion at what is now 66 Rue Raynouard.” (Rue Benjamin-Franklin, French-American Cultural Foundation)

“Located on the site of a 17th-century convent, next to the prestigious Place Vendôme, chef Alain Dutournier’s Carré des Feuillants opened in 1986 to much fanfare. It remains a stalwart of the Paris dining scene to this day. Boasting a minimalist, Alberto Bali-designed interior – four lounges arranged around an internal courtyard – menus reflect Dutournier’s respect for native products and flavours in streamlined, contemporary dishes. The likes of roasted sweetbreads of veal in an oyster sauce and grilled monkfish with French caviar and crisped potatoes arrive paired with remarkable labels and rare vintages amid a hushed, yet unstuffy atmosphere.” (Carré des Feuillants, 50 Best)

Sfera di San Leo

  Sfera di San Leo, Sphere of San Leo by Arnaldo Pomodoro, Palais-Royal, Place Colette, Quartier du Palais-Royal, 1st arrondissement, Paris

Place Colette
Quartier du Palais-Royal, 1st arrondissement
Paris, July 2002

“The Sphere of San Leo is very different from Pomodoro’s previous spheres. After so many attempts at this form, the artist wanted to return in his memory to the places of his childhood and, thinking of the medieval fortress of San Leo, he covered the surface of the sphere with arrows, teeth, stays, as a reminder of an ancient weapon of war. There is no longer the contrast between the bright and smooth surface and its interior devoured by marks and signs: it seems that the erosion has reached even the outside, with a menacing but dynamic presence, because, as Jacqueline Risset wrote, ‘inside there is another smaller sphere, clean and intact, which is trying to emerge, communicating to the whole an idea of birth and renewal that seems to contradict the catastrophe.’” (Works around the World, Arnaldo Pomodoro)
