Changed plans...

My intention was to visit “Le Hameau d’Alleray”, the little kind of alley where some of us would like to live. However, the gate was closed and I found nobody to open it, so here is just a photo taken through the gate.

Well, I had to find something for my blog, so I took a little walk. Here is a picture of the war memorial of the 15^th arrondissement. It dates from 1934, but later received some additional text referring to WWII and also to the Indochina War. You find a mixture of personalities on the left, noblemen, revolutionaries…, supposed to be anonymous. However it seems quite obvious that one of the revolutionaries must be Danton?   

       

I continued my walk to the nearby Square Saint Lambert. This park replaced an important gas factory (1894 map, 1900 illustration - below) and was created during the 1930’s. The park is quite large … and a nice spring day quite occupied – it was lunch-break hours.
