Do you suppose Vincent would have enjoyed the Bar Mickey or the Club Latin Quarter? I'll put my money on the Latin Quarter. Bar Sparta is not even in the picture. It is probable that Van Gogh would have enjoyed painting the shrines. I was fascinated by the shrines upon my arrival, but the perspectives and complexities were just too much for me. I had so many other events scheduled that taking time to do the shrines right would have consumed a considerable amount of time. Perhaps, on my return I will try some plein-aire shrine painting
