Paris - La Pagode
Paris has many hidden treasures.
One of them is La Pagode located in the 7th arondissement. It was on my original list of places to visit back in April but I never made it there.
Today’s rainy weather was perfect for a long walk from my hotel in Montmartre all the way down to Rue de Bablyone with an incredible stop at the Gustave Moreau museum (quite a hike!).
Built in 1896, it started out as a ballroom but was transformed into a theater in 1930. It is still in use today as a theater.
I literally dropped my bag when I entered the garden because I was overwhelmed by the emotional pull of the scene laid out before me. I stood there for a while watching the painter paint under the canopy of trees before taking photographs and sitting down for a while to savor the beauty.
What a perfect end to a whirlwind of a trip. I leave Paris early tomorrow morning with so many amazing memories.
Paris has a permanent spot in my heart.
