How is Notre Dame?

 

Who can forget that terrible day April 15, 2019. The whole world stopped and watched.

 PBer E. just wrote me, “I appreciate your recent shot of Notre Dame.  Cathedrals have been an important part of my life - I worked for 20 years in the National Cathedral in DC. It’s good to see that crane sticking up towards the sky. That means the long process of rebuilding is beginning.”

On my way to the Prefecteur May 7 for my visa appointment, I had to walk by Notre Dame. 

I’m so happy Paris, with assistance from JC Descaux, have put up these big billboards. 

Its keeps us all informed on the day-to-day details of the reconstruction. 

I thought you’d want to see them.

 I didn’t keep count.  But there are many photographs.

The photography is from Magnum Photo Agency. They are beautiful. Often astonishing. 

Plus detailed interior diagrams and boards of written explanations. Thankfully in both French and English.

They are all along rue du Cloître-Notre-Dame. Its a don’t-miss when you come over, which could be sooner than you might expect 🤸🏾‍♀️

 I asked my Landlord/proprietor if he had seen them yet? “Oh yes” he assured me, just like the cherry blossoms at Jardin des Plants. 

Hmm...someone is late to the soirée/party☺️

Thank you Mary for your fun photo and review in my shop👏👏👏

And thanks everyone for your jolly response to the newest single letter, the Paris bookshop map. You might like the Shakespeare and Company letter too. A nice set for Father’s Day? Or for anyone ‘bookish’📚 If you have any other favorite please letters let me know.

Enjoy your Sunday PBers where ever you are 💋🍓🌸🐻
