Le Port-Marly (France)

Port Marly, that you may know from the "The Flood At Port Marly" by Alfred Sisley, is situated near Bougival and , actually, not far from Paris. There are no more big floods since 1876 , but the river, barges and houses - all are there. Scrolling the path near the river you will find panels with a reproductions of Sisley, Pissarro and others , who used to paint in the area. It's a little bit alike travel in time. They called it 'Route des Impressionistes' ( The impressionist's road ) and you can do a walk in this "live museum" for free.


It also something else very cool there. Every year on May 1st, the local Rowing Club of Port Marly is running Impressionists Regatta. They called boats by names of artists. We painted, sitting on the steps of the club and had fun to hear discussions :
"You should take Renoir today"
"No, I'm going with Monet, I prefer Monet or Degas"
etc


We had a very pleasant time in Port Marly : scrolled the Impressionist's Road , met very nice people and of course painted on location.


Here is Andre - first day of our plein air. This painting was finished and sold at the same day.

Walk with French Impressionists

Awesome , just awesome to be able to step after Sisley and Pissaro: to see the same river , buildings, roads. Some of signs didn't change, others are half-hidden behind huge trees ( over 100 years , it's not a joke), some roads were developed , some buildings were destroyed, etc. But still - all this real and completely touchable.

However , here is just an little "taster" from V&A, incomplete and subjective. Hope you enjoy . Feel welcome to text us in comment below or to message us on FB.
Cheers,
V&A

MARLY LE ROI
Marly - town in the same area and formally it's not Bougival . The central part of the town is charming and cosy, we were lucky to have possibility to paint in Marly quite a lot in 2015.
But here is the big royal park in Marly - it used to be a hunting area of Louis XIV , actually being a part of Versalles. Of course the palace, sculpture and other "extras" were destroyed at time of French Revolution, but they didn't touch trees. Sisley did few paintings there.

PORT MARLY
Of course Sisley and his floods. Based in Marly-le-Roi from 1874 to 1877, Sisley painted seven painitngs on the flooding of the Seine in March 1876.
