“ When I visited Rouen and got to see the Boieldieu bridge for the first time, I immediately understood the bridge had to generate social interaction. My installations are all about bringing people back together and connecting them. This public art installation for the bridge over the Seine has the same aim. Inhabitants from the left side will meet inhabitants from the right side underneath the entangled wooden slats. The sculpture is created to evoke emotion and to spark conversation. “
Arne Quinze also presents twenty-one new works based on the Water Lilies by Claude Monet painted in the backyard of his home in Giverny, in L’Abbatiale Saint-Ouen. The first time Arne Quinze laid his eyes on these paintings of Monet he was blown away by the theme, scale, use of colours and the light effects. Although Quinze still paints with his severe brush strikes and splatters, a certain serenity is visible in his new works.

La Bonne Franquette – Montmartre
In our minds the restaurants of Montmartre enjoyed a fairly bad reputation deplorable service, products of poor quality for a good addition salt.Until the day we met Patrick Fracheboud, the owner, in the old Montmartre, the restaurant Good Franquette since 1979.It is a wine lover and good “food”. With his wife, he toured France in search of regional products.
It serves, for example, sardine pate de Vendée, duck confit from Sarlat, black pudding with Espelette peppers from the Basque country … His guilty pleasure is the wine! It offers a la carte no less than 150 vintage wines including the famous vineyards of Montmartre.
We were totally seduced by the perfect Charolais with foie gras and sorbet with strawberry-peppermint with Paul Mom. If you like sweet white wine, we recommend Jurançon 2007.The service was pleasant and attentive.
The curious can ask the history of this house 400 years old. In summer you will not hesitate to install the terrace in the shade and quiet!Bon appetit!Website: http://www.labonnefranquette.com/
