Paris 5
Well, I got up off my backside at long last and took my lazy self on a walking tour. It was a long one as it needed to cover the first, second and fourth districts of the city. My feet hurt. Or as I remember people used to say, "my dogs are barking".
- Hotel de Sully, Place de l'Opera (Cafe de la Paix) - Rue de Rivoli, Quai des Orfevres Woof-woof!

Nice models Philip. I agree with your comments about the card - unfortunately it doesn't help the looks of the buildings, but you seem to have got round that problem.
I found that delaminating the tabs helped. Cheers Mike |

Parisian Fashion
Another departure from architecture were the folks in their finery featured on these cards who are presented in the manner of dress-up dolls, where you are presented with a figure in their underwear upon which outer garments can be hung by means of tabs at the edges of the clothing. As the costumes include both a front and a rear face the two sides need to be glued together so making it impossible to undress your doll. You shouldn't be looking anyway. Here we have:
- Robe a la Pompadour (1759), Habit a la francaise (vers 1760) - Robe Empire (1806), Officier de la Garde Napoleonienne (1805) - Robe de bal 1912 (Paul Poiret) - ditto, from the back

A nive chnge of pace, Philip!
I like these paper people, and can hear Mouret's Rondeau (known here in the States as the Masterpiece Theater theme) playing as I look at them, although I guess that piece was played somewhat earlier than the time of these folks. Don |

France 5
It were wireandpaper's recent threads demonstating his excellent reworking of L'Instant Durable's Clos Luce and Kerjean postcards that prompted me to realise that I've been ignoring this thread for far too long. So here's a couple more cards to be getting on with:
- Chateau de Sully-sur-Loire, Chateau de Loches There was a third example built but I put it in a now undiscoverable safe place. Oh dear.

Nice. My 'undiscoverable place' is a particularly destructive child in the neighborhood
