Sept 20 Art Walk

I love walking the neighborhoods in Paris. I always find something extraordinary or very funny like last night's spaghetti lamp. In the afternoon today, we went to the Place des Voges. I read in my Frommers this morning that it was here that Henry IV was assassinated while jousting. Hmm.--was it a bystander who killed him or was he simply a lousy jouster? We saw several sculptures that we liked but prices in the 35,000 Euro range discouraged us from making offers of the larger pieces. Today's highlights --A couch made from air-filled brown bags. It did have a weight limit but I don't remember what it was. And a bronze woman, reclining in a hammock, is clasping a bronzed wet cloth in her hand.
