Monday Morning Museum: Hubert Robert

Hubert Robert – Tuesday 22 May 1733 Paris, France to Friday 15 April 1808 Paris, France

On a few guided walks I have taken in Paris, the guides have mentioned that houses once stood on some of the bridges – The Demolition of Houses On The Notre Dame Bridge, 1786 – is evidence that such statements were true.
