Ombres chinoises – Shadow plays
My favorite picture from the month of October. Taken at lake Monteynard, about 20 minutes from Grenoble. A spot well-known to kite-and wind-surfers.

Mont Blanc, slopes with a view
Long week-end in Les Arcs, with Superman and the boys, enjoying deserted slopes, some with views of the Mont Blanc. Good spring snow too!

Tropical cantina
Our tropical cantina in Guadeloupe…but that was last week. It seems like an eternity ago!
Yes, that is miles away from Eugenie Street, but then again I haven’t been doing any Eugenie Street things recently! No reno, little deco, no posting!
I hope all is well with you, house flippers, creative home design genuises, and visitors by chance, from Canada, France, the US, or anywhere.
Have a good day!
