" L'Arbre des Rue "

Paris is indeed a city of arts,
every corner you turn, there's always something artsy going on.
and as always, I'm attracted to blue. ^0^

This is a mural painting done by Pierre Alechinsky
that is located along the 5th arrondissement.

It said:
À côté de la peinture, l'on lit ce poème :

Passant,
regarde ce grand arbre
et à travers lui
il peut suffire.

Car même déchiré, souillé,
l'arbre des rues,
c'est toute la nature,
tout le ciel,
l'oiseau s'y pose,
le vent y bouge, le soleil
y dit le même espoir malgré
la mort.

Philosophe,
as-tu chance d'avoir l'arbre
dans ta rue,
tes pensées seront moins ardues,
tes yeux plus libres,
tes mains plus désireuses
de moins de nuit.

a poem written by: Yves Bonnefoy

" Musée du Quai Branly "

one of the newest museums here in Paris.,
that is a stone's throw away from Eiffel Tower is Museé Quai Branly. 



The exhibit during that time,
featured [ Maori- leurs trèsors ont une âme. ]
The vibrant Maori culture from New Zealand,
too bad though, we didn't get a chance to see it, but
that didn't hinder tourists from waiting, despite the long queue.






The sleek lines and modern architecture is conspicuous inside out.
 




You could visit its official web for more info about this = Quaibranly.fr.

the best metro stop is to hop off at Alma Marceau station.
