This fall, I came back from the exhibition of the painter Nicolas de Sta\u00ebl at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I literally discovered this painter. I knew just his name but nothing more. I was blown away, dizzy. I have never felt like this after an exhibition, ever. Once I got home, I wanted to change my way of painting, my colors, my vision. And after a few weeks, I got there and this is what it looks like. I owe it to this special day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An autumn day with\nstunning sunshine and blue sky. Leaving the museum you have a view of\nthe Eiffel Tower which is very beautiful with the distance needed to\ncontemplate all its iron beauty. I went down some stairs and crossed\nthe Seine to land at its feet. It is so huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decide to continue\nmy walk just along the Seine towards the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay. Small\naside, this museum is awesome. It is absolutely worth the detour. Its\npermanent collections are beautiful and varied, covering all genres\nand its temporary exhibitions are always interesting. Besides, I\nabsolutely have to go the Van Gogh exhibition which ends at the\nbeginning of February!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walk among the\nregulars, the joggers, the tourists. I discover my own city on this\nside of the Seine. There is the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay on my right with its\nbig, huge clock. This old station which\u2026 I said it was only a\nparenthesis! I definitely close it to return to the main subject of\nthis text: a walk in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I take a look at the\nother side and… this bridge immediately attracts me. This sculpture\non the edge of the quay which shines brightly with the radiant sun of\nthis late afternoon. A gorgeous golden salamander which watches over\nthis unique bridge with its candelabra, its statues\u2026. All this will\nbe the subject of a next story for another painting. But what\u2019s on\nthe other side of the Alexandre III Bridge? That huge monument? But\nyes of course, it is the Grand Palais. Currently in full renovation.\nIt will soon be brand new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how this\nwalk in Paris ends, I push on to the Louvre Museum to cross the Seine\nand take the metro towards Rue de Rivoli. What a blast this Paris\nunder the sun. Gold is exploding everywhere. I have stars in my eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
