It led to a whole voyage of discovery -- I wrote a Wikipedia article about the building's owner and architect and met the great-granddaughter of the architect in France as a result. What an adventure.

It's true that there are a limitless number of magical spots to discover, or re-discover, especially in Paris. <br /><br />Whenever I arrive to a new city or village I take a peek at the postcards to find out what I want to explore.
