I often wander down to the Gare de L'est before heading back to UK from Gare du Nord as I'm usually insaneely early - all those years of going by plan and having to check in hours early!<br /><br />As such it's a familiar friend and I was glad to see it in the restored station.

Living in the 10th, Gare de l'Est is one of my local stations & never once have I considered this painting.<br />To mark Armistice Day, I visited Hotel Nissim de Camondo. It was a poignant visit but at the same time a little selfish - to be appreciating a city's gain / feeling sorry for a family's tragic loss.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302305367819898023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725154806633928919.post-57239222795528326412011-11-11T17:19:31.152+01:002011-11-11T17:19:31.152+01:00thanks for re-posting this . . .

At least one of those gun emplacements is still visible in the woods, from what I understand, near Villers-CoteretsOwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725154806633928919.post-25655848322032574502011-11-11T01:17:55.880+01:002011-11-11T01:17:55.880+01:00Thanks for sharing this Adam.

But the next time I'm in the neighbourhood, I will go take a look at the painting. What a gift to the memory of his son. So many bereft parents, spouses, children, relatives left grieving after that conflict.
