The museums and just the city itself look amazing. Thank you for pointing out this lovely French city. <br />And with a Hugo connection, I have to agree this city should have been B! ;D Kaorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495830655043821533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319339803753927098.post-31256467769758454692014-04-30T17:28:13.751+09:002014-04-30T17:28:13.751+09:00Good choice of cities, Kaori.

I could identify all but Zagreb, Croatia.<br /><br />Speaking of the Irish of the top Dublin, if a group of monks ever sets out to make an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminated_manuscript" rel="nofollow">illuminated manuscript</a> (like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Kells" rel="nofollow">The Book of Kells</a> , the creators of which developed their own <a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/9e/d4/d6/9ed4d6a08c397f05cf2630ccf9cfa6e7.jpg" rel="nofollow">alphabet illustrations</a>) of a city travel guide they will know who to get to do the letter illuminating.<br /><br />Babzy now has me wanting to see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Besan%C3%A7on" rel="nofollow">Besançon</a> either as a Hugo Yoshizawa illustration or by visiting as a tourist.<br /><br />At the Hugo link at your post I was drawn to the <a href="http://www.hugoyoshikawa.com/Paris-Rooftops-A3" rel="nofollow">Paris Rooftops A3</a>, especially the second from top. Maybe because I spent three weeks in a garret room on the top floor of a hotel with slanting windows like that. Not as shabby as <a href="http://www.apartrental.com/blog/images/2009/attic-level-paris.jpg" rel="nofollow">this</a> yet not quite as roomy as <a href="http://www.tnetnoc.com/hotelphotos/661/1236661/2241284-Hotel-Agora-Paris-Hotel-Exterior-1-DEF.jpg" rel="nofollow">this</a>. Next time I hope to be able to splurge on something like <a href="http://www.feau-immobilier.fr/details-biens-libres-0075-09-9149299.aspx" rel="nofollow">this</a>. (Fat chance!)
