October 2,2011, Quai Saint-Michel to Notre Dame de Paris

This is 19, Quai Saint-Michel, an apartment building where Colette's father's cousin, Jean Launois and his wife, Aimee, lived.  Many other well known French artists lived here including Matisse and Marquet.  We do not know which floor he lived on and the one person I have met who did, and who knew Aimee, refused to give me the time to get the details.  In any case the view over the Seine toward Notre Dame de Paris is splendid.

 This is the view from the sidewalk across the street from the apartment building.  I think Albert Marquet painted it.

 I will try to put in the name of the bridge later, but this the bridge that crosses this arm of the Seine leading to the place before Notre Dame that is, was, crowded this warm and brilliant day with tourists, including some French!
