At the beginning of the week, I showed you Hoche street and place and explained a little about the general. Here is Lazare Hoche in more detail. This below is the house where he was born, in (rue) Satory street. As you can see, the ground floor is now a restaurant named after him!---------------------------------
Au début de la semaine, je vous montrais les rue et place Hoche, voici donc le général en plus détaillé, ainsi que ci-dessous, sa maison natale rue de Satory. Le restaurant du rez-de-chaussée, évidemment, ne pouvait s'appeler que "chez Lazare" !
Beautful building! I like great balconies and huge windows:)
ReplyDeleteI think you like this guy! Can't imagine a house that old where he actually lived...amazing. What's the restaurant like?
ReplyDeleteThis gentleman had lovely lips!Thanks for this "angle" stunning picture!
ReplyDeleteLéia
Architecture, history and a great portrait. Brava!
ReplyDeleteHe was a revolutionary but he looks cold and haughty. Did he play a role in la ancien régime?
ReplyDeleteHe was a handsome man, I think. I like the angle you chose to take this photo from.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how accurate the sculpture is — he looks very pretty here.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't frequent the café named after him, I hope! ;)
Beautiful house...I'd like to try that restaurant!
ReplyDeleteje me demande toujours ou les restaurateurs vont cherches le noms de leurs restaurants ;o) beaucoup d'imagination ;o)
ReplyDeleteWonderful images. This reamarkable guy has a solid historical and artistic link to Quiberon, Brittany.
ReplyDeleteHe looks a regal fellow.
ReplyDeleteEncore un bel homme, mais je préfère quand même La Notre !
ReplyDeleteIs it the fate of all great peoples homes to become restaurants? Could be worse, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you post some close up and some distance shot. Also, you teach us so much history!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful building. I especially like the many balconies.
ReplyDeleteRemarque, je n'aurais probablement pas fait le rapprochement. "Hoche", ça fait grosse brasserie, "Chez Lazare" est plus intime et convivial.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it would feel like to travel in time, pop up in the distant future, hardly recognize anything and then find a restaurant bearing your name... (Well, we'll never know.)
