My eye is half closed for some reason BUT it really doesn’t matter because I got to meet my favourite actor of all time, the ridiculously talented (and incredibly hot, let’s face it) Mads Mikkelsen •

Thank you, @jon.dub_who for this amazing early birthday present! ❤️

And so am I
Why?
You’ll know tomorrow.
Now that’s a nice-looking door. Let me tell you folks, Brussels has some very Instagram worthy spots. This one is located rue du Fossé aux Loups, just across the street from the Radisson Blu Royal.
Many thanks to @jon.dub_who, who’s getting better at taking pictures by the day despite (thanks to?) my constant nagging.

Shakshuka, the dish that’s as much fun to make as it is to say. Like most Middle Eastern food, it is incredibly tasty and honestly, I don’t see the point of eating anything else ever •

Happy Saturday, folks!
The record is “Songs From a Room” by Leonard Cohen (1969), a little gem of an album and a must-have in any serious discography. It is full of poetry, and it feels like the morning after a beautiful party, as it oscillates between nostalgia and hope.
What are your plans for the weekend? •

The Cathedral of Reims is famous for its beautiful rose windows, but did you know that it also hosts one of Marc Chagall’s lesser known works?
The Russian-born Jewish artist created and installed these stained glass panels in the axial chapel of the cathedral in 1974, in a re-creation of the Ancient and New Testament (left and centre windows) juxtaposed to the history of the city (right-hand window). And of course, you can see the all-characteristic Chagallian blue, which is overwhelming in the composition and offers a strong contrast with the rest of the rather austere edifice.
I was pleased to see a Chagall in context — exactly where he had intended for the piece of art to be — and I think it’s the one thing one cannot miss when visiting Reims.
Have you ever stumbled upon a masterpiece you weren’t expecting? Let me know in the comments and hopefully inspire each other on our next journeys •

Built in 1923 by French architects Émile Thion and Marcel Rousseau, the cinema Opera in Reims is a magnificent example of Art Deco style. It has now been scheduled for demolition, but fortunately, the listed façade will stay up •
