Thanks Mon cher Richard. Always fun to Read ! Since France and its authors, monuments, history et al are your favourites I hasten to add the re-opening of the “ new” Notre Dame. Absolutely superb

Rich -- I just read this aloud to Barb and Tony. What a gorgeous, evocative, thoughtful list. A Whitmanesque list, Tony says. More than one tear was shed. I'm thankful to have read this!
