à hommage de Eugène Atget



In hommagae to Eugène-Atget, who also roamed the
streets of Paris photographing beautiful interiors,
the mundane and just everyday parisian life I
sometimes take for granted...
Merci for the inspiration, monsieur Atget...! ! !

escaliers Musée-Carnavalet

The Musée Carnavalet or the Musée de l'Histoire de Paris, occupies two adjoining mansions (the Hôtel Le Peletier de St-Fargeau and the Hôtel Carnavalet). They include entire decorated rooms with panelling, furniture and many works of art.

The main building, The Hôtel Carnavalet, was built as a town house in 1548 by Nicolas Dupuis. The Hôtel Carnavalet is a Renaissance jewel that in the mid-1600s became the home of writer Madame de Sévigné.
