Have a great stay at home!
chez vous is probably more accurately translated as "your place" or possibly "yall's place" (as vous is polite and/or plural) rather than "your home". Anyway good hotel.

I have a million more things to say about Paris but (1) my last post was rather text heavy and (2) rather than going detail by detail I've thrown together some photo highlights with commentary.

The long history:

The food/drinks which, like any major world city, were from all over.

The monuments to victory and tragedy.

The technology, and specifically the hidden gem of a museum to technology we wandered around in:

The art, of course:

Finally just some random stuff that is funny or weird, enjoy

There was a period where French art was dominated by a bunch of old men who demanded perfect voluptuous/jacked figures that were definitely Not Sexual. A rebelling artist decided to make a hideous bust of each of them that straight up look like they are from the Land of Confusion video.
Some of the memorable parts of Dante's Inferno are the punishments in hell for guys Dante didn't particularly like that involved eating other guys he didn't like or being forced to eat your family. Again, nothing psycho-sexual about this at all.
Museums have taken to including additional context or work next to straightforward descriptions of their pieces. Readers might remember the LGBTQ themes included with works at an Auckland art museum from a previous post. Another here in Paris described how climate change would impact environments that were featured in some paintings. But personally I love that they had a 9 year old draw a picture of a brutal pogrom of Protestants in Paris in 1572.
Presented without comment.

You thought I would go through all of Paris and not find the weirdest name I could for a queer bar?

The dog on our return. There is a lovely non-profit home-sharing/pet-sitting organization and my partner received the daily updates that they never knew they needed (but def did).
