I Prefer Paris: Courtyard Week

Insane Stone Carving Works

What’s that? Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s just a little post on sixteenth century Parisian architecture. No biggie.

What is it about this stuff? It’s beautiful, but there’s more to it than that. I’ve seen imitation renderings of this stuff in faux-revival homes in Bel Air. And I’ve seen the real deal at San Simeon and the Getty Villa. No, something about seeing the original work in its original location gives it its gravitas.

See the beautiful courtyard at 41 rue Jussieu & 28 bis rue Cardinal Lemoine in Paris.
