Blue (&White) Monday @ Le musée Carnavalet.

The musée Carnavalet is a wonderful museum to visit.


The parisfr. website describes it thus: The paintings, sculptures, furniture and scale models, that the collections in these two erstwhile townhouses in the Marais conceal, tell the story of Paris from prehistoric days to the present. This museum also features a handsome collection of drawings, prints, photographs and posters – and a remarkable coin cabinet.



Tucked away in a corner I discovered a tiny parlour with a display of the most wonderful blue and white ceramics.




So, I thought I'd share some pix with Smiling Sally and all the great bloggers that gather at her place for Blue Monday.


Come back for Outdoor Wednesday and view Paris from a bateau on the River Seine.............
