Hi Nikki,

Great photos and the apartment looked lovely.
Can you tell me anything about the metal sculptures that look like seated men in fencing masks taken outside the Louvre?

Sassy cat, I have no idea. The sculptures are in the garden of the Palais Royal, but I am clueless.

Louvre or Tuileries? I cd have sworn it was the latter! Anyway they are very cool. Buddha-inspired I presume.

Thanks, I googled but drew a blank so I've posted a question on TA.
They're very cool and I'd like to know who made them.

For photo research, I always try to find a clue in Flickr.com

The sculpture is Xavier Mascaro and they are called "Guardianes"...
