Even on that last day in Paris when I was so exhausted, you know I still found the energy to pet cute dogs… because that is how I roll..
Awwwwwwww… that is a cute picture of me and my mommy!
Oh yeah… sitting in a café waiting for the food to arrive…
No… she isn’t grumpy… that is her; ‘I am going to sit here and drink my fancy beverage… you all go along without me and don’t forget to pick me up on the way back’ face…
Your generic ‘bridge over the river Seine’ photo…
That is a happy grandma, taking her granddaughter to Paris for the first time.
I don’t know why the picture is blurry in middle… or why peeing baby statues are a thing…
That is one last awesome view of the ceiling in one of the rooms at Versailles… left over from my hilarious ‘Lifestyles of the rich and French’ series, where I taught you all how to live like French royalty… it is also a fantastic view of my mismatched nostrils…
Speaking of Versailles… I think that Napoleon… who is pictured above crowning himself Emperor… and who was actually a man of the people, being in no way born to nobility but rather a poor Corsican family… decided that there was no sense wasting the palace of Versailles and decided to move in. I base this on the fact that there are a lot of paintings about him in there.
And in one of the back sections of the palace, there are a lot of paintings of his famous battles… and I study military history… so I took some pictures…
I don’t know if these were hung while he lived there or not.
But I took the pictures…
And there is no sense letting them go to waste.
He never did manage to get rid of that itch under his coat, did he?
I took these two pictures through the old windows in part of the palace at Versailles. Did you know that glass is actually a liquid, and slowly begins to run as it gets really old?
See, you are learning stuff now.
And one last picture of St. Chapelle… go there… and submerge yourself in the colors. That is it for France. Join me next time for our adventures in Germany.
Pouring My Art Out 
So glad you cleared up that title. As I was reading it, I was wondering why you were petting your mum and Napoleon
I was particularly proud of that title
It is awesome
thanks
As far as I know, “glass is a liquid so old glass panes appear melted” is actually an urban myth. Old glass was simply not made according to the modern quality standards so it wasn’t perfectly flat and even as soon as it was made.
I think it gets worse after a hundred years or so… but who knows
Google knows.
sure it does
Fun, fun, fun! I’m so envious.
That was the plan… HA!
Too funny that Napoleon never made it past Lieutenant Colonel – he went right from there to Emperor. ha! Cool pictures Art. Thank You.
thank you
I always wonder where and how Americans find so many perennial wrong notions about France . Bonaparte was made general in 1795, one of the many 30 years old generals who fought all European coalitions to successfully defend the new republic . Check his campaigns of Italy and Egypt you’ll find he was a general .
Mr Pouringmyartout I wish you a good trip in Germany and I dare pointing out that Napo didn’t live in the palace but only in what is called the Trianons, further in the park . And even there he only spent bits of 4 springs and summers as a whole .
Too bad you missed the necropolis of all French kings in Saint Denis cathedral . By the way French kings didn’t live in Versailles except the 5 last ones . There was a long succession of French royalty before that, starting in 481 AD .
I am doing the comedic history of Europe… I am sort of hoping that people will find something they are interested in and look it up…
I was aware of that… but Americans do not know their own history… ask us why there are so many places name Lafayette here… they have no idea…
I’m not American and the only thing I know is what I saw in the picture – I obviously mis-interpreted it. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive my transgression of historical fact.
I now pronounce you an honorary American!
Oh, Thank You Art! I am honored. But I don’t have a gun – is that OK?
A gun is necessary to complete ignorance . The SS-Gruppenführer Hanns Johs wrote this unforgettable pearl of wisdom ” “when I hear the word ‘culture’, I reach for my gun” .
Guns and ignorance are the two udders of this brave new world .
wait… udders or rudders… because I like udders better.
Hey listen I didn’t call this guy a mental problem ! And about Americans kindness in individual relationship I can’t object because I had dozens of proofs . Especially this Mr pouringmyartout ( what a rare name !) who sounds as a good egg of the highest model . Never mind, forget what I wrote and have a fine journey on Earth . Vaya con Dios as they say in Spain, or Barakallahoufik as they say in Arabic .
Ah but he prides himself on being a mental problem!
In this case I must reconsider my comment . I wish him to become a never seen before species of mental problems . I hope his name will be given to a brand new family of mental problems . May him become the Abraham of a new category of mentally problematic humanity .
Yep
ha
I have crack squirrels in my head… that is sort of new
yeah I do
I was enjoying our conversation… no hurt feelings here…
People don’t come here to learn anything, trust me.
Ahhh, I like to complain about Americans but I worked in the States for years and most individuals are kind and caring (not a big fan of their foreign policy but who is?). Here read this – this is the America i came to know and love:: http://kindnessblog.com/2015/08/07/track-inspectors-good-deed-goes-viral/
…ooo000ooo…
Yep
ha
I don’t have one either.
Udders or Rudders?
ha
What I painfully accept is this habit of quietly proclaming false notions without the need for checking . This is somehow universal among a portion of humanity but the Americans, and all the unfortunate people who only speak American and get informations from the internet, Hollywood or the old English propaganda, have given a new status to this mental problem .
well, this is a humor blog, not a travel documentary.
He called you a “mental problem” Art! Ha! How did he know about the squirrels? I thought that was a secret?
it isn’t a secret
ooooooooooooooooooo
yup
