Paris, crispy - cold and sunny
Ok, I hope you don’t get the impression that I am only after wine! But it is was lovely being in Paris in the Autumn, sunny and cold, buzzing with all this frenchness - and to miss sitting in one of the cafe bars, under the heather, enjoying vin chaud - well that would be a crime!
I came to talk to two groups of people, and to start planning a conference that we are looking to make on the teaching of mathematics and science in historical context. It will now happen in Lille, sometime in July.
And I went around the sites, took some pictures - streets named after mathematicians, Pantheon (where my dear Monge is buried) and just generally enjoyed walking around the Latin Quarter. Luxemburg Gdns and the rest.
... just perfect for vin chaud!
