Plot Synopsis:
Eight intellectual friends: four men and four women from the Université de Montréal department of history, prepare to have dinner together. The ensuing conversations range from their professional lives to politics, but primarily concern their sexual exploits. The group has plans to gather at a secluded house for dinner. While the four men prepare the food and reflect on their promiscuity, the four women discuss their own affairs at a nearby gym. At the dinner table, conflicts soon arise when Dominique reveals that she herself has had affairs with two of the men there -- one of whom is married to Louise (also present).
I haven't taken many photos recently since the weather has been quite cold, but here are a few. Most were taken near Le Musée Georges Pompidou.

Dear Mr. X
I found you by way of beautifulmag.eu. I don't know why I decided to click on but glad I did. I'm a francophile as well or that a parisophile? I'm also from SF though not originally but a Californian just the same and a Virgo as well. I would love to live in Paris someday and continue my art career there. Right now, I'm managing a B and B on the Oregon coast. For 23 years I've served as artist-in-residence for the Art Deco Society of California. I took my first trip tp Paris a few short years ago to research art deco. I stayed for 3 weeks and realized that I could live there just for the hot chocolate alone. You can see my art at www.artdecosociety.org/stephan I don't know why your sister didn't like that painting. I was intrigued by it. I think it's called "The Origin of the World". I loved the photos of the Jewish ghetto in Italy. When my kid brother was going to cooking school to be a chef, he did a thesis paper on the Jewish influence on Mexican cuisine. It seems as though many of Columbus' men were Jews escaping persecution and stayed in the New World. Their cooking was picked up by the locals and eventually made its way to Mexico. I loved the Marais while in Paris and was nicely accosted by two Hassidic students while I was photographing some art deco things. They turned out to be very pleasant and we talked for about 10 minutes. They wanted to know about SanFrancisco. My best to you on your French lessons and the cooking classes too. Sincerely, Stephan
