A picture I took yesterday. This house used to be owned by Paul Valéry. It's right next to Saint Victor's Abbey and 100 meters from our appartment. Paul Valéry (1871 - 1945) was a French poet, essayist and philsopher. He is known for his poems le Cimetière Marin et La Jeune Parque. His poem Palme inspired James Merrill's poem Lost in Translation in 1974.
