Jean Arp - one of the great dada-abstract sculptors of the 20th century. He and his equally talented wife Sophie Täuber didn't have a lot of money. This small studio-home was designed by Täuber and contains three floors: the ground floor where they lived, with the two upper floors devoted to their studios. As it stands today, all the rooms are set up as a tribute to Arp, chockfull of his works, lovingly arranged, both inside and out in the small garden, as well as in a small dépendance at the rear of the garden. Beautifully arranged and lit. I was literally the only visitor. It was very special. It's definitely not on the beaten path, but it's remarkably easy to reach via the frequent RER C just nine stops from St. Michel to Meudon-Val-Fleury. From there it's a 10-minute walk UPHILL to the home, located in a lovely neighborhood dotted with interesting modernist homes. Wonderful experience.

Principal lieu d'exécution par l'armée allemande de résistants et d'otages en France pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le Mont-Valérien est aujourd'hui un lieu qui, à travers sa programmation pédagogique, culturelle et commémorative, souhaite faire partager son histoire et ses mémoires et ainsi faire découvrir le parcours de ceux "qui aimaient la vie à en mourir". Le Mémorial du Mont-Valérien fait partie des Hauts lieux de la mémoire nationale, propriété de l’État. Ils sont placés sous la responsabilité du ministère des Armées (DPMA). Leur valorisation est confiée à l'ONACVG.
The scene of the murders of members of resistance and other freedom fighters in a war few these days seem to remember or care about. The memorial is situated in a huge park popular with runners, it was disappointing therefore to see some use it as a piece of exercise equipment. It is a crypt-it should be respected. There is an eternal flame also burning here. A short distance away is also the American Cemetery which was stunning too. A good way to spend a Sunday in remembrance.

We walked down the avenue du Chateau to get to the terrace - well worth the walk, along a tree-lined sidewalk. And an unexpected sight along the way - the house where Richard Wagner lived - but not available for visits, as far as I could tell. The terrace is also tree-lined - those long rows of perfectly aligned trees that are so impressive. But the main reason people go there - and apparently not in great numbers, even though it is free - we had no more than 6 others in that large space - is for the views of Paris, and the views are quite amazing. Take your camera (even better if with zoom) and enjoy!
