PROVINCIAL TOWNS AND INTO COLOURFUL DEPTHS

Image
Reims yesterday. The last time I had visited that town it was cold and dreary too but at least there was some activity. Provincial townships on a Sunday are deadly. I had never visited the centre but gone directly to Champagne country to see a client. Thank goodness Jerome and Laurent were with me. We travel at least once a year together and also if their work load permits, see exhibitions. Our tastes in art are more or less the same. In music, the answer is no and I will not induce them to come with me to contemporary or modern music concerts.... There was the famous Reims Cathedral to visit. A small service was on when we arrived and the choir was singing its heart out. I would think to stay warm as the three of us were very quickly chilled to the bone. We looked at the Chagall window (I preferred the modern windows) and after perhaps 20 minutes inside - left.  Reims Catherdral at 10 am on Sunday The Chagall window in the centre A modern approach T
