ART FOR LUNCH AND THEN BACK TO THE STATION.....
The departure for Le Havre had been an early one. The museum restaurant was booked out so culture had to feed my gurgles. The permanent collection comes as a bit of a shock after De Staël but there are always some painters I enjoy looking at. You have "met" all the artists over the years so this is just a sample of what I saw.
As we continued in the sea theme, I was quite happy to wander and now that the restaurant was full, I had the place to myself. Never the less, I couldn’t dawdle.
The wander along the waterfront was a delight.
But now, if I was going to eat anything, I needed to get back to the station. This time I would walk. I was very pleasantly surprised that that everything seemed to be clearly indicated. The walk back was not so nice as now the sea was behind me. The buildings though versus the grey of Dunkerque were some how modern and yet out of place.
These tiles in front of a Lycée were, perhaps, originals. Nothing to say what they were or where they had come from. Le Have was slipping up here.
The same could be said for these two immense paintings inside the station. Who?
As you can see, the station was deserted. The café under renovation - but I had to eat…….
