I love the contrasts that Paris has to offer....the history, the contemporary street art, collective culture, nationalism...but most of all I just walk around the city thinking ' Damn, Baron Haussman, you did one hell of a job here'....le sigh.
From top:: Avenue of trees Jardin de Tuilleries / great shop display in the Marais / view of rooftops on Rue de Rivoli / BHV Home dept store / commemorate / part of the Louvre [I think..] / anonymous street / group rollerblading on Sunday at Bastille [seriously, THOUSANDS of them!!] / Sacré-Cœur / Cafe that the lovely Janette and I had lunch in * /numbered edition papering in Marais / The Seine in a downpour....
{{* more on our fab day together soon, but a quick note to say I was utterly amazed and thrilled that this Cafe was actually the one featured in Before Sunset which was a complete trip as I had always fancied finding it [how!??] and we just happened to walk by it....I was, incidentally so thrilled that I forgot to shoot the exterior or indeed note their name or location. doh. I am relying on you now Janette ;))}}
happy weekend all.
thank goodness it's here huh.
