In the long run, I think it's going to be hard to keep interest up with no album in site. As I've mentioned before, I try to add things to the FB page I normally wouldn't, such as pictures of Ajaccio, pictures of Paris, anything remotely related to Alizée. So there's an A.G. Photography that posts pictures on FB of Paris and they're a group of beautiful pictures. One that caught my eye was the one below of

'The Moulin de la Galette is a windmill and associated businesses situated near the top of the district of Montmartre in Paris. Since the 17th century the windmill has been known for more than just its milling capabilities. Nineteenth-century owners and millers, the Debray family, made a brown bread, galette, which became popular and thus the name of the windmill and its businesses, which have included a famous guinguette and restaurant. In the 19th century, Le Moulin de la Galette, represented diversion for Parisians seeking entertainment, a glass of wine and bread made from flour ground by the windmill. Artists, such as Renoir, van Gogh, and Pissarro have immortalized Le Moulin de la Galette; likely the most notable was Renoir's festive painting, Bal du moulin de la Galette'

This is in an area where Alizée "used" to live.

As mentioned before, this area was depicted in Renoir's "Bal du moulin de la Galette", that is shown in the bottom picture.
