December 2013 - A Conversation with Régis Labourdette

Régis Labourdette has been sharing his vision of art, architecture, and French history with aficionados of French culture for about four decades.  I recently had the opportunity to meet him at the Louvre for an interview.

Cyril Dedieu operates Bügelski, a delicatessen on wheels that serves fresh, local products, including bagel sandwiches.  I met him at La Défense, where he talked with me about his business.

A window in the Pavillon Sully of the Louvre provides this magnificent view of the Axe historique, a line of monuments, buildings, and thoroughfares (including the avenue called Champs-Elysées) that extends from the Louvre to the Grande Arche de la Défense,
