Cognac: Streets, Museums, Gardens

Rose window outside in and inside out:
 Exhibitions of beautiful bottles with display of creativity:
Films in the museum were extremely interesting and an excellent modern approach to make stuffy museums vital-alive!
More vintage bottles - these were analysed samples!
A stairway motif:

Bottling
Corking
Labelling

Sales to China were the most!
"Advertising in the Family!!! (Family humour - I am a descendant of "The Royal Scotts Equestrian Circus" and proud of it!
Above a doorway - probably to signify what the owner made!
Beautiful architecture
My number one girl! I shall remove photo if she tells me to!
The seedy side of town
Patina
L'eglise
Un café
Almost symmetrical
Evidence of ricochet on end church wall
Disused
Low down to the pavement graffiti
Missing statue

Asymmetry

Ghoulish

Dragon

Interesting architecture on the building with the dragon

Curves

Blackened stone from trees and humidity where sun and light can't penetrate!

Former grandeur: two hotels in 1889 became the town hall and the museum in the grounds of botanical gardens where the Cognac Blues Festival is performed,
Another feature of French museums is that they provide jigsaw puzzles where one can sit awhile for the attention of the child to take the mind away from ancient artefacts.


My friend has one of these!
I'd like a room with flooring and deep skirting panels such as these!
L'orangerie
A good brood!
Can't remember
She sure can swing! One does not wish to stand in the way of this determined young lady!
