Close to our place, there is a small street curiously perched 15-20 yards above sea level, it’s called rue des artistes. Its name is very apt, around there one can find famous post-war painter Nicolas de Stael’s house.

At the top of the stairs, a house has just been refurbished and painted bright colours with leaves and Chinese goldfish representations. I like the arty QR code above the door. 

And I’m in time to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
