Romania is not so very far away, if you were to saddle a horse, you could be here in a week or two or three, depending how fast you wish to ride... returning to childhood is not a bad thing... from time to time...<br /><br />=======<br /><br />Hi GG! Cello lessons ! I was wondering what the enchanting tune I could just hear coming in the open window was, it had bounced off the clouds I think... keep serenading us, I'm sure it's lovely !<br /><br />==========<br /><br />Dear Fram ! Ahh, so hopefully some memories there... this theatre may have been there already in the 40's, not impossible... Sincerely hope all is falling into place nicely with all your logistics endeavors these days, and that you'll have a minute for a café on the way back through gay Pareee one of these days... I'm away this weekend, up to la Baie de la Somme for a couple of days, but am around next week...<br /><br />=======<br /><br />Dear Watercats, Methinks you have a medieval form of humour to speak of medievil eyes... but France has one foot still very entrenched in medievalisms while stumbling into the future...<br /><br />=========<br /><br />Hi Adam, I know what you mean, I have memories of the puppets often being hunched over while carrying big billy clubs to whack each other with, or the witch figure with a great beaked nose... but kids seem to enjoy the shows, even the creepy ones...<br /><br />=======<br /><br />Dedene, couldn't stay that day, but am intrigued enough to see what goes on these days in such a venue to maybe go back and check it out... will let you all know if I do... so where did you live in the 16th ? For about 9 months my address was on the rue de Colonel Bonnet...<br /><br />========<br /><br />Gypsy, well I thought the clock sign was pretty high tech ! Not to mention their internet address...<br />:-D<br /><br />========<br /><br />Steve, I'm sure we can find a show with enough sign language in it that even a linguistically challenged foreign non-French speaker could comprehend... and you are so sharp, I'm sure you'll get the gist of it at least... basic lessons like, "thou shalt not steal" can be found here...<br /><br />=========<br /><br />Hi Martin, glad you enjoyed... I didn't try to see what the web site looked like... I wonder if there are any video clips of such shows out there... will have to try typing Guignols on YouTube...Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-46517730037945248132009-09-25T04:51:42.858+02:002009-09-25T04:51:42.858+02:00That looks wonderful.

Many eyars ago I got a couple who did puppetry to come along and entertain the wee Trolls at one of their birthday parties, it was a grand idea and the kids loved it.

Pas surprenant que tu as un "cold"... c'est 36°F, eh ? Et bien sûr j'ai mis l'heure en advance pour être tranquil avec les filles pour le spectacle, comment tu as pu déviner ??? Tu es maline toi, je pense... And yes, it is the evil part of medi-eval in the eye, no doubt... Cette fête, c'étais qqchse, n'est-ce pas? Bon, on le re-fera pour le 20000ième visiteur ou visitrice... dans deux semaines ? Comme ça on a le temps d'oublier la gueule de bois... :-D<br /><br />Alors, ne tisane pas trop, tu as vu ce que l'abus de la tise a fait à certains ... !<br /><br />Ah bientôt Loulou...<br /><br />==========<br /><br />Hey Jeff, tu as raison, il y a encore une place dans le monde pour des plaisirs simples comme de vrais marionnettes comme celles-ci, un vrai spectacle fait par d'autres humains vivants, et non pas des machines électroniques... le cirque peut encore être bon aussi pour les enfants si c'est bien fait... la Grenouille a un cousin qui travaille dans le cirque à Paris, c'était fabuleux la dernière fois que nous sommes allés le voir... Par contre, attn, ne donnes pas trop de tisane de mon camion qui a disparu dans le sud à des gens de voyage qui passent par ici cherchant à refaire le plein... !<br />:-D<br /><br />=========<br /><br />Hi Comment Deleted, I suppose you were so objectionable that somebody decided to do you in with extreme prejudice, but I can't bring myself to finish you off, so you can just stay where you are, in limbo, in comment purgatory... forever, for all I care...<br /><br />==========<br /><br />Catherine, no I'm not familiar with Spitting Image, but if it is anything along the line of Spouting Politicians, or Politicians Spewing Swill, yes, I'm sure we're all familiar with it in one way or another... will have to look it up... And I don't even have the French cable channel that has the Guignols on it, Canal+, it costs extra beyond the service we already have... which I don't watch, because I blog these days...<br /><br />=========<br /><br />Hi Caio Fernandes... glad you liked it, thanks for stopping in. I have to apologize, on your earlier comments I'm pretty sure, without going back and checking, that I addressed you as Ciao, instead of Caio, I was mis-reading everytime... but to sign off, I guess I could say, <br />Ciao Caio...<br />:-)Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-161885285376522702009-09-25T04:22:24.335+02:002009-09-25T04:22:24.335+02:00Lydia, thank you, deeply, thank you... just the th...Lydia, thank you, deeply, thank you... just the thought of seeing those curtains opening has something particularly tantalizing for me...<br /><br />=======<br /><br />TechnoB., ahh, so you have strolled the streets of Paris... you are completely right that much time is needed, for there are surprises galore, and many hidden treasures. Hopefully we'll see some of your Paris photo memories ? Everyone needs a Paris in their mind to go to... a place where anything is still possible. The City of Light...<br /><br />======<br /><br />Hi @eloh, I honestly don't know, it's not that I do much of anything, it's more like all these things come looking for me and grabbing me by the shoulder and pushing me forward to look... Sort of like holding an invisible divining stick...<br /><br />=======<br /><br />Owen, stop spending so darn much time in bed sleeping your life away !<br /><br />========<br /><br />Hi JoMo, you may stay as long as you like ! Admission to this puppet show is free, unlike the Guignols which charge a nominal fee... glad you liked the signs...<br /><br />========<br /><br />Hey Harry, Hope the picture enlargement instructions work out ok for you... can't wait to see some bigger images to know it worked... those chalk sidewalk artists are something else... ahh, donc, une grand-mère française ? je m'en doutais un peu... Merci bcp en tout cas, à bientôt... et alors, as-tu acheté finalement la voiture ???Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-14144895190666785982009-09-24T22:53:37.907+02:002009-09-24T22:53:37.907+02:00I'm at a loss for words at what this post mean...I'm at a loss for words at what this post meant to me, or to describe the places it touched in my heart.

I was in Paris about 10 years ago and walked every inch of sidewalk and up and down every place I could get to for two weeks. Not enough time to be in a place like Paris.
