Nous avons quitt\u00e9 le Charbinat quelques jours fin mars, pour s\u00e9journer \u00e0 Paris chez des amis puis en Belgique.
\nPremier matin parisien\u00a0: en ouvrant le rideau, je vois quatre hommes qui ont pass\u00e9 la nuit sur le trottoir d\u2019en face se lever et se pr\u00e9parer \u00e0 gestes lents. On dirait de gros cocons blancs.
\nWe left Charbinat at the end of March, to stay a few days in Paris visiting friends, and in Belgian.<\/strong>
\nFirst morning in Paris\u00a0: opening the curtain, I see four men who spent the night on the sidewalk, they rise and put in order what they have, moving slowly. They look like big white cocoons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c0 Paris, il y a des gens qui n’ont pas assez et d’autres qui ont de trop grosses voitures.
\nIn Paris some people have not enough, others have too big cars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Au mus\u00e9e des Arts Premiers…

…il y avait une exposition temporaire sur Nancy Cunard et sur l’anthologie qu’elle avait publi\u00e9e, \u00ab\u00a0Negro: An Anthology\u00a0\u00bb.
\n…there was a temporary exhibition about Nancy Cunard and about a book that she had published, \u00ab\u00a0Negro: An Anthology\u00a0\u00bb.<\/strong>
\n\u00ab Nancy Cunard<\/a> (…) rejeta r\u00e9solument les valeurs familiales et consacra la plus grande partie de sa vie \u00e0 lutter contre le racisme et le fascisme. \u00bb
\n\u00abNancy Cunard<\/a> rejected\u00a0decidedly family values and dedicated the better part of her life fighting against racism and fascism.<\/strong>\u00bb<\/p>\n

Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s heureux de retrouver \u00c9ric et Cathy<\/a>, qui nous a offert ses derniers livres.
\nWe were very happy to have a meeting with \u00c9ric and Cathy<\/a> who offered us her last books.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Que dire de notre rendez-vous en haut des escaliers du Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur avec Sara et Francesco\u00a0? La perspective de les revoir sans tarder nous avait bien consol\u00e9s de leur d\u00e9part – mais \u00e0 Paris nous nous sommes s\u00e9par\u00e9s sans savoir pour combien de temps, c\u2019est devenu bien difficile.
\nWhat to say about our rendez-vous at the top of the stairs of the Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur with Sara and Francesco? Knowing that we were going to see them soon in Paris had comforted us from their departure – but in Paris we had to separate without knowing for how long time, it became difficult.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Nous leur avons offert des \u201ccrazy gifts\u201d : une paire de chaussettes oubli\u00e9e et deux petites b\u00fbches d\u2019acacia refendues… L\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi, longue visite passionnante de l\u2019Institut du Monde Arabe.
\nWe offered them crazy gifts: forgotten socks and two small chopped acacia logs… After eating, long exciting visit of the Institut du Monde Arabe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le pr\u00e9sident chinois visitait Paris en m\u00eame temps que nous, un d\u00e9sastre pour la circulation.
\nNous avons quand m\u00eame visit\u00e9 l\u2019exposition Carl Larsson au Petit Palais. Comme tant d\u2019autres, Larsson, excellent peintre, n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu pendant des ann\u00e9es, ce snobisme me d\u00e9go\u00fbte\u00a0!
\nThe Chinese President was visiting Paris while we were there, a disaster for circulation.<\/strong>
\nWe still visited exposition about Carl Larsson in the Petit Palais. Larsson was an excellent painter but he remained unknown during a very long time, as many others. Such a snobbery revolts me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAu Grand Palais se tenait une expo en honneur de la Chine.
\nCe poing (de Liu<\/a> Bolin, photo trouv\u00e9e sur le web) tr\u00f4nait \u00e0 l\u2019entr\u00e9e, seulement voil\u00e0\u00a0: pour que le pr\u00e9sident chinois ne soit pas confront\u00e9 avec la dissidence, il y a eu un mic-mac de v\u00e9hicules officiels, \u201cnon non, vous ne passez pas de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9, de l\u2019autre\u00a0!\u201d
\nIn the Grand Palais there was an exhibition to honor China.<\/strong>
\nThis fist (Liu<\/a> Bolin\u2019s, I found this photo on the web) enthroned at the entrance, but: in order for the Chinese president not to be confronted with dissidence, he had not to stay at the same place in the official car.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir f\u00eat\u00e9 l\u2019anniversaire de J\u00e9r\u00f4me (raison de notre s\u00e9jour \u00e0 Paris) nous avons visit\u00e9 \u00e0 la Cit\u00e9 des Sciences une fabuleuse exposition sur la voix – je sais maintenant que je suis alto.
\nAfter celebrating J\u00e9rome\u2019s birthday (reason of our stay in Paris), we visited an amazing exposure about the voice at \u201cla Cit\u00e9 des Sciences\u201d – now I know that I am alto.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nous connaissions d\u00e9j\u00e0 les travioles et les traboules, \u00c9ric nous a fait d\u00e9couvrir les \u201cpassages\u201d.
\nWe already knew \u201ctravioles\u201d and \u201ctraboules\u201d, with \u00c9ric we discovered \u201cpassages\u201d.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bien s\u00fbr, nous avons pass\u00e9 pas mal de temps \u00e0 d\u00e9ambuler dans Bruxelles, il fallait bien voir le Manneken Pis (pour l\u2019approcher, franchir une foule compacte de touristes. \u00c0 d\u00e9faut, le voir dupliqu\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019infini dans les boutiques proches) et le mus\u00e9e de la BD, sans oublier de boire une westmalle triple. Les bi\u00e8res belges surprennent par leur degr\u00e9 \u00e9lev\u00e9.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course we spent time wandering in Bruxelles, we had to see the Manneken Pis (to approach it, overcome a compact crowd of tourists. Failing, watch it duplicated to infinity in the near shops) and the museum of strip cartoon, <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>and not to forget to drink a \u201cwesmale triple\u201d. Belgian beers have a surprising high degree of alcohol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quant \u00e0 la Kwak qu\u2019il faut boire dans un verre \u00e0 Kwak, elle fait en effet le \u201ckwak\u201d du canard en se vidant, fournissant aussi la douche si l\u2019on boit un peu vite \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0.
\nAbout Kwak that we must drink in a special glass for Kwak, it sounds the duck\u2019s \u201ckwak\u201d when you drink it, and offers the shower if you drink a bit too fast.<\/strong><\/p>\n
