Bourse de commerce, Baguett, Bibliotèque Forney, Stéphane Humbert-Basset

 

It’s been a bearish 🐻 week

First stop, Bourse du Commerce. 

Nourrir Paris, Bibliotheque Forney

NOURRIR PARIS just ended yesterday - an indepth exhibit of how Paris feeds itself through the ages, farm to plate. 

Shown in another smaller exhibition space in Paris (free entry) the Bibliotheque Forney Hotel de Sens was built in 1475 by Archbishop Tristan de Salazar. Its many transformations include complete rubble, a laundry, St James Marmalade factory for 20 years, even a glass warehouse. Its been an arts library since 1962. Anyone can borrow books with a passport photo. I'm getting a card tomorrow.
