I am getting old. My youngest daughter, Ditas Macrine Katague turned 60 years old yesterday. 

Carenna treated her Mom's 60th Birthday Dinner at Le Moulin de la Galette Restaurant💚 This is the  Famous restaurant where the Renoir painting was painted.  Here's a short video of this world famous restaurant in Paris, France,

The Painting:  Bal du moulin de la Galette (commonly known as Dance at Le moulin de la Galette) is an 1876 painting by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

It is housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and is one of Impressionism's most celebrated masterpieces. The painting depicts a typical Sunday afternoon at the original Moulin de la Galette in the district of Montmartre in Paris. In the late 19th century, working-class Parisians would dress up and spend time there dancing, drinking, and eating galettesinto the evening. Like other works of Renoir's early maturity, Bal du moulin de la Galette is a typically Impressionist snapshot of real life. It shows a richness of form, a fluidity of brush stroke, and a flickering, sun-dappled light.

From 1879-94 the painting was in the collection of the French painter Gustave Caillebotte; when he died it became the property of the French Republic as payment for death duties. From 1896-1929 the painting hung in the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. From 1929 it hung in the Louvre until it was transferred to the Musée d'Orsay in 1986.

Le Moulin de la Galette est un restaurant emblématique situé au cœur du quartier historique de Montmartre, à seulement quelques pas du Sacré-Cœur et de la célèbre Place du Tertre, dans le 18ᵉ arrondissement de Paris.

Ce lieu chargé d’histoire incarne l'esprit convivial et festif des guinguettes d'autrefois, parfaitement en harmonie avec son riche passé et son environnement pittoresque. Un véritable havre de vie où tradition et authenticité se rencontrent pour offrir une expérience inoubliable..

Personal Note: I know of several THD residents who have either travelled or resided in France during their younger years. I will be delighted to hear of your experience traveling or residing in  France. France is the most visited by tourist in the world.
