french gallery

[Ingrid Johanne Vaalund]

Could someone please tell me if the name of this gallery is correct?
(Probably not, as I can't get any Web hits - I've tried lots of
different variations)

"Sejour des Pommes, the original Paris gallery of the impressionist
painters"

Thanks in advance
Ingrid

Could it be "Jeu de Paume"?

Ingrid-
If I remember my French history correctly, the Jeu de Paume was a court
where a type of handball was once-upon-a-time played. The building
housing this famous court lies at the Northwest corner of the Tuileries
Gardens in Paris. It was made famous as one of the beginning points for
the French Revolution. Louis XVI backed himself into a corner
financially and was forced into calling a General Assembly representing
the 3 facets of French society. However, he really wasn't too keen on
sacrificing his power and locked the assembled representatives out of the
official meeting site. The representatives instead met on the handball
court - Le Jeu de Paume.

That was about 100 years before a group of artists who had been declined
entry to the Academy decided to have their own show: Le Salon des
Refusés. Monet displayed a painting entitled "Impression: Sunrise" which
gave rise to the name of the Impressionist movement

Cordially,

It most certainly is the Musée du Jeu de Paumes - the one sitting at the
Place de la Concorde - at the entrance of the Tuileries, RH side is JdP, LH
side = the Orangerie.

Lovely typo to call it the séjour des pommes. upsetting the apple cart ...
the Jeu de Paumes = a predecessor to the game of tennis.
