 There are many unlikely places, a person might end up at on a warm July evening. Take the line three to the last stop, Mairie des Lilas, take a walk down some rather gloomy roads and you will find yourself in the most unusual museum, with a name that in previous times would have sent a message of fear, the museum of ?Dracula?. Dracula was the invention of Bram Stoker, whose novel has been brought alive by many film versions. Though Dracula is a work of fiction, Stoker's inspiration was Prince Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad Tepes, meaning impaler. Vlad was a fifteenth century prince from the Wallachian province of Romania, bordered to the north by Transylvania and Moldavia, to the east by the Black Sea and to the south by Bulgaria. This man was noted for his inhuman cruelty.

 Like a person getting married, a person awaiting a critical court trial, a person at the latter stages of pregnancy, in the last few months I have had one thing that has been etched onto my mind, that is my first significant one man show in Paris. If you had said I would have a one man show in Paris ten years ago I would never have believed it, such a thing would seem so far away, almost impossible.

 You have the chance to enter a private domain, awash with paintings and other objets d?art. Your morning afternoon or evening will involve a lot of meandering from place to place, chancing upon potential works of art, in many shapes and forms. The area that has opened its doors to those interested in art is Belleville, a colourful multi-cultural area that among many claims to fame is where the iconic French singer Édith Piaf grew up and as legend has it, was born under a lamppost on the steps of the Rue de Belleville.
