The Louvre with lots of company by Beausoleil
We walked past the Louvre on our way to the Metro stop going home after a long and very fun day in Paris.
Chasing bubble in front of the Louvre by Beausoleil
There are now lots of vendors and street artists around the Louvre. This fellow was creating giant soap bubbles and the kids were chasing them. It was fun to watch.
Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel near the Louvre by Beausoleil

Crowds at Les Nabis at the Luxembourg Museum by Beausoleil
We were at the Luxembourg Museum for a special exhibit titled "Les Nabis." If you are wondering who the Nabis are, so was I and this is what I discovered. Les Nabis were a group of young French artists active in Paris from 1888 until 1900, who played a large part in the transition from impressionism and academic art to abstract art, symbolism and the other early movements of modernism. The Nabis (from the Hebrew and Arabic term for "prophets,") were a Symbolist group founded by Paul Sérusier. They all ascribed to certain formal tenets - e.g., the idea that a painting was a harmonious grouping of lines and colors. They expanded their aesthetic into the area of applied arts as well, including architectural painting, decorative screens, murals, posters, book illustrations, and designs for the theater. It isn't my cup of tea, but it was an interesting exhibit and we were glad to have seen it.

La légende de saint Hubert, a series of paintings by Maurice Denis by Beausoleil
We were at the Luxembourg Museum for a special exhibit titled "Les Nabis" and this caught my eye because my husband, son and I are all French horn players. We also all can play the French Trompe de chasse or hunting horn and are always looking for them. If you are wondering who the Nabis are, so was I and this is what I discovered. Les Nabis were a group of young French artists active in Paris from 1888 until 1900, who played a large part in the transition from impressionism and academic art to abstract art, symbolism and the other early movements of modernism.

La Terre et la Lune by Auguste Rodin by Beausoleil
Usually called simply the Grand Palais, it is a large historic site, exhibition hall and museum complex that usually has multiple exhibits. We were there for "La Lune" that explored the earth's moon. It included art through the ages and exhibits from various moon explorations. The web site states: "The 50-year anniversary of the first human step on the Moon is an opportunity to study, present and celebrate the long history that links humans with this familiar celestial body, through the artworks and objects that embody the countless visions and emotions it has inspired. This five-part exhibition is a journey to the Moon, through dimensions both real and imaginary. Each stage takes visitors on a voyage through time, revealing artistic creations from Antiquity to the modern day, produced mainly in Europe but also by African, Arab and Far Eastern civilisations."

Quadriga on The Grand Palais in Paris - One of two by Beausoleil
A quadriga, is typically shown as a chariot powered by four horses and driven by a Greek or Roman figure that represents victory or some other meaning. The Grand Palais has two large copper ones. The two are known collectively as the Récipon Quadrigas. This one, which commands the sky near the Seine, stands for “harmony triumphing over discord.” The two quadrigas are the work of Georges Récipon, who also produced sculptures for the Pont Alexandre-III nearby.
