Sortie des poubelles...

Bins are taken out of Versailles prison, ready to be emptied. Actually, it's a 'maison d'arrêt' where defendants are held pending trial/sentencing. It also houses prisoners who have been sentenced to less than one year of prison.

Grange ?

A barn? Nope! Just part of what I believe is a stadium in Satory military neighbourhood.
-----------------------------
Une grange américaine ? Ben non, juste ce que je crois être une partie d'un stade dans le quartier militaire de Satory.

Chardons... ardents

On Saturday I took my Mum to the King's Veg garden shop and look what we saw! Aren't these thistles gorgeous? Anyone wanting to know more about the garden and shop can click on the 'Potager' label below. Oh, and that's Saint-Louis cathedral in the background.
----------------------------------
Samedi j'ai emmené ma Maman au magasin du Potager du Roi. Regardez-moi ces chardons, ils ne sont pas beaux ? Ah, au fait, en toile de fond, c'est la cathédrale Saint-Louis.
