The old ska band Madness also playedat fête de l'huma!
Fête de l'humanité -a WE of communists, music and food!
L'humanité is the French really red paper.
This has to be the sole left oriented party where...
... you can eat nice oysters and drink champagne -yes, we're in France.
All the world's communist parties were of course there
A memory from 14 Juillet, la fête nationale
There's a big firework in the city center
Musée Zadkine is inagurated in the sculptor's actual home.
Some of his work is situated in the small but cosy garden.
I was lucky - the museum threw a temporary exhibition with Wang Keping!
After more than a year on French soil I have finally given in...
...and learned to like Parisian sundays when everything is closed except for churches, markets and museums
This Sunday I took a stroll around Place Monge and its market.
A weekend in Provence: In the small village called Cabrières-d'Avignon
Of course there was an old castle ruin in the village
Idyllic village well
Desolé les bleus...
...what a setting in Trocadero last week when France played their first match in the World Cup. Who could have known that this was going to be the team's best result in this World Cup (0-0) where the blue team scored a total of 1 goal??
Fête de la musique means a day of massive crowds on the streets of Paris...
...listening to all sorts of bands. I took refuge in the hôtel yard of the Swedish Institute in Marais where Anna von Hausswolff threw a great concert. The photo is somewhat blurry since I only had my French phone with me, but you can still make out the contours of the Midsummer staff in the middle.
Château de Fontainebleau...
...in the chic Napoléon town with the same name is where the emperor (numéro ono) spent the last years of his life in exile. It is the largest of the French castles (which definately means huge).
The day in Fontainebleau finished with a walk in the neighboring forest...
...where I saw some funny rocks.
...a man in the woods.
(Also from the forest surrounding Fontainebleau).
Daytrip to Fontainebleau and its grand castle!
The "Jour d'Ascension" was very warm and sunny, we celebrated with picnic in parc Buttes Chaumont

Axel and Andreas experiencing the most colorful among the gardens (all flowers are white and you can choose for yourself which color you want the garden to have by looking through these bright rounded screens.
