Henri Victor Lesur, Le Vendeur de Fleur de Tuileries.
(Just click on the pic to watch the video on youTube.)
Continuing with some bee I've gotten in my bonnet with Paris in the
18th century.
The Tuileries in Paris (Jardin des Tuileries) is a garden that once
formed an extension of the Tuileries Palace, destroyed by fire during
the Paris Commune revolution of 1871 and finally leveled in 1883. It was
designed by architect Andre Le Notre in 1664 during the reign of Louis
XIV and comprises some 63 acres, or roughly one-thirteenth the area of
Central Park in New York City. With the old palace missing it today
forms more of an extension of The Louvre.

This Insubstantial Pageant Faded 
And it's a name for a metro station also. You enter street level and stand right in front of the entrance to the garden. I once crashed in the garden for the night, and was kicked out by the Gendarmerie (police) early in the morning.But that's an entirely different story 🙂
:lol:Uh, all I basically remember about that movie was at the very end where Clarice reloads her revolver in about 5 seconds — in the dark. Pretty damn impressive. I've always wondered how many times Jodie Foster had to practice that to get it down.
I love classical music.But ever since "Silence of the Lambs", it gives me nightmares.:lol:
Well I'd love to hear that story. I do hope the weather was a little better than the time you were in that town in Sweden.
Nightmares, I'm tellin' ya'.:D
I remember Anthony Hopkins listening to that beautiful music with that guy's blood all over his face.:yikes::lol:
Oh yeah. Now I remember. What's the matter, nothing wrong with a little dinner music, is there?:p
:yikes::lol:
lovely entry Eddie,:heart:after reading the comments I don't know how not to smile when I read Allan's adventures, Star's fears and your fascination on women with guns !I love you guys :heart:
I`ve never been in Paris but some of people I know told me it is not a city it used to be 20 years ago. Well, I guess I will never be in a position to compare.It will be better to go and see by myself :)Allan, I would like to hear that story too 😀

I regret not seeing these gardens when I was in Paris but I DID see the Rodin Museum and gardens. Not as big but very beautiful.
I scrolled up to see if I really wrote 200 😆
No worries. The garden is wonderful because it has replicas of some of his bronze sculptures outside including the famous doors (can't think of their name). His real ones are inside.
Gate of Hell.Saw one of the new bronze ones when it came through Dallas once. (Now in California.)
@ Pam.Sorry I missed your comment. Thanks for the heads up on the Rodin Gardens. I'll make a 'stop' there! :up:
