Hehe where did you think it was?The committee in charge of the rebuilding of the Tuileries is legitimate and i'd say they're really pushing for its rebuilding, however their site indicates that the project has been at a bit of a standstill for the past year or so, so i take it they're having trouble with donations (the French Gvmnt won't pay a dime for the project). However i will stay positive in the hope of seeing the magnificent palace one day before i die.
By the by, how do you pronounce Eugenie?
I say it in the german way rather than what i imagine the english way would sound like. "Oy-g'n-ee" is how i think of it (the g is like that in 'goat' rather than the 'dg' sound in 'bridge')Hahah i can imagine how wrong that would sound to non-german speaking folk, it'd be so different to the french!!
Did Napoleon III actually reside in the apartments that are on public display in the louvre? I just can't seem to believe that next to the tuileries, st. cloud, versailles etc that he chose the louvre. Also if he did reside in these apartments, i find it hard to believe that the wall in the following picture is authentic http://www.slowtrips.com/photo/data/3401/P1010020.JPG . Just doesnt seem right to me.Be gentle-M
