It's funny that the city of Paris got involved in the organisation…..I'm also silly for not remembering that the museums are closed on Mondays'), adding that they could go another day, but that he would rather not make the effort as it would only to be to see things that have 'deja trainees partout' (Translation: 'already been dragged everywhere'). With blank integral leaf. Some very light, minimal age wear, VG
