Some PBers write they'd like to tag along to Paris.
Believe me you wouldn't. Sometimes I wish I could skip it.
Friday morning I took the train to Chateau de Chantilly to see the newly renovated Grand Singerie.

The chateau is magnificent but this one small room is mind-blowingly beautiful.
No one is quite sure if Wateau or several other artists painted these murals since they are unsigned.
Back to Paris after lunch to visit Musee Carnavalet, the history of Paris museum in the Marais.
I'm collecting bits of Louis XV details.
On walls.
On frames, like this one at the Musee Cognacq-jay a few blocks away.
Saturday was a "lite" day. I only made it to the Musee des Arts Decoratif.
There was a "Red" exhibit going on.
Plus red fire toy engines and red everything!
After lunch with my cousin, off to the Opera Garnier.
Spectacular!
On Sunday I took the RER to see the Musee de la Toile de Jouy just on a whim.
What wonderful fabrics.
But don't go Sunday if you want to buy. 
The fabric shop is closed.
I'm off to Chateau de Fontainebleau. Tomorrow, I hope to just walk around my neighborhood and visit the marche d'aligre.
BONNE SEMAINE!
