VDP hors les murs : Toiles de Jouïr et fables de la Fontaine

Toiles de Jouïr Laurence Médioni
At the Toile de Jouy museum there's also a modern addition to Sweetbriar castle, in which temporary exhibitions and events are held. Here we sampled both on the day of our visit as children play acted La Fontaine's fables in front of Laurence Médioni's photographic exhibition entitled 'Toiles de Jouïr", a pun as the French verb 'jouir', depending on how it is used, means enjoying or... er... blush... coming...

Au musée de la toile de Jouy il y a une extension moderne au château de l'Eglantine où se déroulent des expos temporaires et des événements. Lorsque nous visitâmes, les deux s'y déroulaient avec des enfants qui jouaient les fables de la Fontaine devant les photos de Laurence Médioni dont l'expo s'intitulait avec humour "Toiles de Jouïr".

    Interesting mix of old and new, particularly that view of the metal-framed windows overlooking the castle.

    Doesn't one smile when they blush?

    The 'toile' on the left (top shot) is beautiful. Also like the glass 'parafrenalia' in the bottom shot.
