...glass piramide in front of the Luvre.
With its erection France lost its moral position of artistic authority in the world. You became an apprentice hamburger maker.

That has long tradition in France ( Pompidou with " La Fabrique" aka Beaubourgor Giscard with some bibliotheque ect...)
Did you se it ?
At first only the idea of it brought some rage on me.
After seing it, it was so strange that it became fascinating...
What should I say ? My country always wanted to be ...modern...
And with the ego of some Florentin* politician, we are left to the gutter...Like Gavroche in rags...

  The Pompidou "masterpiece" is separate and is not intruding on any classical beauty.
  Yes, of course I saw the piramide, both in person and on the pictures, and no, it is still not growing on me, and I suspect never will.
  But then, I have never been a fan of raping the classics. To me Mona Lisa still looks better with no moustache. I love the old architecture too much to see any reason to "improve" it.
  To be modern and to be stupid are not the same things.

    Well, actually it is all a quesstion oh habits...
    The Pompidou, was the old " Les Halles " the heart of the old city of Paris, the very old one.
    Romantic as something could ever be, you use to go at the place after a love�s night , taking some soup or oysters, Zola calles Emil, wrote on it....The heart and the belly....
    I needed long..long to accept it..And still now I look with distrust...
    Romantic is no more what it use to be.
    Do you know Charles Trenet, by the way ?

      ***Do you know Charles Trenet, by the way ?
      Just by name. Perhaps heard some of his songs but would not know.
