"Camille Lucie"

[amie-de-rimbaud.livejournal.com]

I almost forgot about this jewelry store that I found while in France...called "Camille Lucie"! I stumbled across it down in Pau--in the wee hours of the morning, while I was half-asleep--and it just threw me for a moment. I thought that someone had named their store after...well, you know! Of course, I took a picture, but then later came to my senses and realized that it was probably just my over-active imagination and not an intentional allusion by the storeowners. Later, I checked out the website, but there wasn't any information about the origin of the store's name (http://www.camille-lucie.com/ang/index.html).



Ok, I know that "Camille" and "Lucie" are common French names and can refer to either masculine or feminine subjects. It was just lovely to see the names together on a sign and to think that another French Revolution aficionado had put them there. And don't you think that it would be a nice concept for a jewelry store? It's romantic enough (tragic, too, but still). Anyway, I was just going through my photos, saw this one, remembered why I took it, and knew that only a select few could appreciate my...knack for associating random things with my favorite Revolutionary couple?:)
