The sign seems simple enough to understand:

On the right, the big (buses) and the small (bicycles) must proceed forward through the intersection.

On the left, everything else turns right. Is this what has happened to French politics?

and …

the reality :

Fortunately, it wasn’t raining. Like that, I could take these 2 pix  through the windshield.

Isn’t there a proverb that says … something about roads paved with good intentions ?

On one side of the street, there are … numbers like these …

even numbers … but also round numbers:

or 1700 a little further down the street

and … 1607 on the other side

1900 … (nineteen hundred!)

another odd one, too:

Unlike the Jardin de Luxembourg in Paris …which has many addresses, including that lucky seven,

this park on Mount Curve didn’t have a number posted anywhere.

Is it because it belongs to everyone ?

Enjoy!

On the rue St. Jacques just next to the Paris-American Art Academy and the Chapel of the Val de Grace, is the Schola Cantorum. This music school is open to all, and trains young and not as young alike in all the musical arts. It has a garden and in the garden are a few sculptures. Here’s a photo of one of them. Next time you’re in the neighborhood, go in and through one of the doors to the garden. You won’t regret it.
