face to face

a head-turner. I put this one first so you can see his beautiful shoes if you care to, but there are two others below, where you see his walking stick but not its beautiful shiny brass knob. Which reminds me that my Dad used to have a walking stick when I was young, not that he needed it - I wonder when they went out of fashion.
Maybe this gentleman is from Indonesia?

jungle fever

jungle fever

After a year or so in the Maison du Paysan we moved into the two top floors of the Alcoa building, with fabulous views of the lake. We were asked to keep our offices looking like something out of the Architectural Digest. We had quite a lot of plants in the office I shared with Christina: I am not sure who is represented by the chimp but it may well be our boss Giles, the Managing Editor.

office space

office space

When I started working for Berlitz, the offices were in the Maison du Paysan at Jordils and very cramped. When we visited our printers, Weber, we were dazzled by the vast empty space occupied by the reception on the top floor of the building. The doors around the sides opened onto a refectory, conference rooms and the managers' offices. We moved into new premises shortly afterwards. Weber was one of the best printers in Switzerland; they went bankrupt a few years ago and as far as I know, the building is still empty.

grâce au gaz

grâce au gaz

deux cartes postales retrouvées parmi mes papiers. Je ne connais pas la date, mais derrière est indiqué:
A utiliser seulement dans le régime intérieur: France, Algérie et Tunisie.

Two old postcards advertising the pleasures of gas:
AFTER THE BALL: What a pleasure to spread a gentle heat throughout my home with my cute little gas fire
and
One can, thanks to gas, return visits and do the cooking.
On the reverse side is the mention "To be used only in the internal régime: France, Algeria and Tunisia"
