What if the beauty of Mucha’s illustrations had been transposed into architecture… That’s precisely what Hector Guimard, architecte extraordinaire achieved. Join my Art Nouveau walk in Paris, you will be bewildered by Hector Guimard's creations and you will never look at architecture the same way...

La Bataille De Gaulle - Part Deux!

I do not wish to spoil the story… One of the great merits of these two films is to bring to light a part of history that is too often overlooked: that is the liberation of the French colonies during the occupation of France.

Any WWII aficionado will enjoy the plot, the action, the suspense and the best thing is, it is all true! Reality is so much better than fiction. Be aware, once you watch the first one, you won’t be able to wait too long to watch the second one…

Kudos for the people who made the films, wow! The writing is based on Julian Jackson’s great book (De Gaulle, a certain idea of France) ; the adaptation and directing are great, the casting just perfect! Two great films!

The photos show the shooting of some scenes in Paris! Someday back in 2023, I was strolling and I saw these scenes of German tanks and burned vehicles I knew right away what kind of film they were shooting. See last picture indicating the movie title…

Vive De Gaulle !

An absolute must see movie: La Bataille De Gaulle!

Now brace yourselves, that’s actually two movies! 150min + each.
Yet, I cannot remember being riveted to my seat every single minute of each film, even though I knew the end of the story.

For fellow Americans who have often told me on my tours: “all we know about De Gaulle is Roosevelt thought he was arrogant”…
Well, if you don’t like to read, now is your chance to hear the other side of the story…

As a history buff, I am always very picky with historic details… I am extremely pleased of how this turned out as I had very high expectations.

Vive De Gaulle!

Being a big fan of Ramen, I had been hearing of Takesan Donate Ramen and their reviews online are excellent… So I had to try for myself!

I was happy to see the reputation holds up. It’s as authentic as it gets. I ordered the Tonkutsu Shoyu Ramen. Rich in flavour, consistent and hearty! The soup is enough to make you feel full. That’s what I love about Ramen! All the options are reasonably priced.

Might not be the first choice for a meal in the summer, but make note of the place for the next fall and winter! It’s located in the second arrondissement.

Enjoy!

A tribute to my Grandfather Dom Marc Collegia who was decorated on 9 August 1960 with the Legion of Honour. The medal was created by Napoleon to create a nobility based on merit as opposed to that of blood in the old regime.

My grandfather served the Nation for 48 years, through the Army, the Police, then the administration. Growing up, I remember him being extremely humble and never bragged about his years of service. I realised the extent of his modesty when one day, my mother asked him "Dad, would you show the kids your medals?".

He fetched a simple shoe box from the closet, he had stored in there some 30 medals and distinctions he had received throughout his career…

My Mom kindly gave me his Legion of honour. My uncle has all the other medals including the famous Croix de Guerre (WWI)…
