The regional city of Bendigo is a little over 30 minutes drive from where we live and we go there regularly to access shopping and other services.
However, our day out yesterday was a much more pleasurable excursion than simply grocery shopping.
We went to the current exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery, ‘Paris: Impressions of Life 1880-1925‘. This exhibition is curated from the collection at the Musee Carnavalet in Paris runs for 4 months in Bendigo until 14th July 2024.
Late autumn in the Arts Precinct of Bendigo is the perfect time and place for a Parisian excursion without a long-haul flight to Europe. Although, I must admit it has whetted my appetite to visit the City of Light again after our brief one day excursion there in 2017.
A spectacular entrance.
A wall mural showing an interior of the Musee Carnavalet. I am putting that one on the travel bucket list.
Back outside – a streetlamp and sunshine.

We enjoy travelling but there is also plenty to do in our local area.
