I took my dad here-aside from the throngs of school children he quite enjoyed it. So much that he still talks about it.

Wow that building is OLD OLD OLD! I'm so attracted to the old things and the history. Thank you for sharing this! I have two questions--do you speak/understand French? I cannot even pronounce the words there because I didnt take French in school, I took Spanish so I figure out alot of Spanish still and know the pronounciations well. Also, do you think Cluny lace was named after this Cluny is your post? I've seen Cluny lace on wedding gowns, just a random thought.

The ones I finished were really good like the Lee Smith one--very short one, and the Karen White one was great as well as my favorites Dot Frank and Mary Alice Monroe. I'm tackling a few of the others but no way would I get to all, ha ha LOL I'm a big reader but have really slowed down as I got older. And I do spend time with the blogs now instead of picking up a book, as well as lots of time with our granddaughter, our long walks and my photography hobby. Really have to pace myself as I aged, ha ha LOLBeachGypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200510017404641217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-45922197781326205982017-07-26T12:09:11.959-04:002017-07-26T12:09:11.959-04:00Jeanie, what beautiful photos of the fabulous offe...Jeanie, what beautiful photos of the fabulous offerings of history and art rolled into this amazing museum.

I will have to check it out on my next visit to Paris as it looks like an amazing spot with so much to see! My favorite museum in Paris is d'Orsay! I love that it's not overwhelming and the museum itself is beautiful since it's an old train station. But there are so many amazing museums in Paris that it's hard to pick just one as a favorite!!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-66740505167786567192017-07-25T20:37:59.674-04:002017-07-25T20:37:59.674-04:00Everything is so beautiful Jeanie.

Thank you for sharing, and I find your pictures wonderfully captivating - the low light just adds to the drama of the pieces and architecture. Beautiful religious artifacts too.

It looks amazing Jeanie. I wish life was such that when you visit a place you like you could stay for a long time and really see everything, but sadly, at least with my life its not how it works. But it is nice to have something to go back and see. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed seeing these and learning about the Cluny.
