I travelled from London to Paris by first-class car on the supertrain which goes beneath the English Channel. Marty Baum and Vicki were my guides on this big adventure. We stayed at the Plaza de Athenee and I was able to walk to the Louvre each morning. At the Louvre, my very favorite place was the Marly Courtyards where they had these very beautiful statues of horses raised high above this beautiful space. The Marly Horses were sculpted in 1739 for a horse pond in the gardens of the Chateau de Marly. In 1743 the King of France chose to exhibit a few of them at the Louvre. They are just so mind-bogglingly beautiful. It was entirely possible to get zen in their presence!
