A glimpse of Renoir's swing

I'm at a writing retreat, where the internet is verboten. But I'm sneaking out to post this quickly because Renoir has been on my mind.
Renoir lived in Montmartre for awhile and painted La Balençoire - the swing here. On the left you see the tree where the swing hung from, the painting and Suzanne Valadon, Utrillo's mother, studio.
Geographically you can find it below



The bells summon me back to the retreat, more next week
