La ligne de mouettes à la proue de l'île,

participait au voyage intérieur,

sur les lieux les plus vastes de la ville

indiquait un désir du large,

tels les hommes pointillés au bord des rivages.

Left: White woolen daywear, as simple as a sailor's jacket; buttoned in Chanel-style brass. Right: Chanel's favorite black lace dress molded to the hips, then fullness; here worn with a necklace frame, secured with a Chanel brooch. The model on both pages is French actress and cover girl, Marie-Hélène Arnaud; she was photographed in the "sumptuous golden rooms" of the Hotel Lauzun on Île Saint-Louis.

Le modèle sur les deux pages est l'actrice française et cover girl, Marie-Hélène Arnaud; elle a été photographiée dans les "chambres dorées somptueuses" de l'Hôtel Lauzun sur l'île Saint-Louis.

Sacred spaces

Saint Chapelle in Paris is a museum now, but once it was the place of worship for kings. It was built by Louis IX to house holy relics including what was believed to be the crown of thorns worn by Jesus on the cross.

The crown has been moved to a safer location, there are no more French kings and worship services are not held here anymore. You can still feel the echoes, even full of tourists there is a higher presence

This is the art that inspired William Morris and Gothic Revival

CRIME SEINE ALBUM part 11 (Parisian places mentioned in Chapter XI) : Square Barye  &  rue de Bretonvilliers sur l’île Saint-Louis.

Le square Barye, where the gang relocates to sit on a bench (and argue) after the ambush and the sculptures Daken can’t help but have a look at in spite of the fact he’s kinda dying, there… They’re by Antoine-Louis Barye. Whose animal sculptures, bronze or stone, I love.

La rue de Bretonvilliers where Bullseye and Daken fight their agressors under the arch, with the main street of the island in the background where Hannibal waits…

To anyone who hasn’t read TVL, there’s actually another layer to Lestat original planning on moving to St. Louis, Missouri. When Lestat was turned he inherited a lot of money, and because he didn’t want his loved ones to see him like that, he basically threw money at them instead. He even bought Nicki a nice house in a fancy neighborhood- where? On the Île Saint-Louis, an island in the River Seine. So when he decided to move to America much later, he chose St. Louis because it shared a name with where Nicki used to live.

And of course the very first words Louis hears Lestat say, and the first words Louis says to Lestat, are also among the first words Nicki said to Lestat when they re-met as adults: “Only the impossible can do the impossible”. So after he sees a man pull a knife on his bro, he decides to stay. Finding out that that man’s name is Louis AND he speaks French AND he repeats Nicki’s words (and reminds him of Nicki in general) proves to Lestat to Louis is his destiny.

Yes. :)

Thank you for expanding on that 💕

There are a lot of references to Nicolas throughout the two seasons already, and I personally loved how they did it.
