A journey to Versailles in Autolib

I already mentioned Autolib twice on this blog (here and here). Its a car sharing system that allows you to pick up a car from any station in Paris and suburbs and drop it in any station, when you re...

Tranquility, really?

Todays theme day among the CDP community is "Tranquility". Frankly there is not much that makes me think of anything tranquil in a big city like Paris! I first thought of showing you water, b...

Doing justice to the Palais de la justice!

Curiously enough, I never photographed this beautiful building, called Le Palais de justice (the Justice Palace), which is the "headquarters" of our justice system. It is located on the Ile d...

A walk among the trees

Here is another photo I took the same day in the Luxembourg gardens. I love that scene: the light, the way the people are dressed, the "corridor effect"... And thanks to Lois Simon who quoted...

Forced to be 2 minutes early!

Im often asked what are the main cultural differences between the French and other nationalities (namely English speaking ones!) and the management of time is definitely one. Hence the "scandal&#...

Paris Elevator

Here is a very typical Parisian thing: an elevator from the beginning of the century (the 20th). You find them in most Haussmanian buildings and some of them are really nice. This one, that I photogr...

Cruising the Seine

The weather has finally decided to be nicer... Parisians are thankful and so are the tourists. At least the ones that cruised the Seine on a "bateau mouche" today! My eyes got caught by the l...

Dont drop and go!

Some people complain that Paris is a dirty city. To be honest I dont think its any dirtier that most large cities in the Western world, dog poop apart of course! (A lot has changed on this front by t...

Spooky Eiffel Tower

I often hesitate to show the "classic" views of Paris thinking that you can see them everywhere, like in guidebooks. Sometimes, though, I dont resist! Especially when the light is "differ...

The debut of a successful business

Its always funny to jump in the past and see how the business that someone started a long time ago are still up and running and "pretty modern". That is the case of Le Printemps, one of the f...

On the bench

Bike ride

Traditionally there are many "official" holida ys in May in France (1st, 8th Ascension, Pentecost...) and this year a lot of them fall a day or two close to a weekend so that its easy to ...

Zoom on Notre Dame

Its not because today is La Saint Eric (in France, a country of Catholic tradition, each day is associated with the name of a said Saint) that Im showing a bit of Notre Dame, but just because I found...

Fête du pain 2012

As you all know Im sure(!), in France the 16th of May is the day of Saint Honoré, the Saint of... bakers! That is why we are currently celebrating bread at the moment. How? In several ways, including...

The weather is currently lovely in Paris at the moment; just the right temperature (20°C - 68°F), plenty of sun, and another holiday in the pipe (newt Monday!) this Thursday. I took this photo from t...

Betty Boop visits Paris!

I really dont know why someone made posters of Betty Boop and posted them on the walls of Paris, but here is one of them, that I found near the BHV (Bazar de lhôtel de ville) department store. Maybe ...

Cycle racing in Paris

Dont go thinking the Tour de France started earlier this year, this cyclist is probably just an amateur that I caught on "film" yesterday in the Bois de Boulogne. The Bois de Boulogne is a 3....

Playing with Europe

In front of the town hall there was until today an exhibition targeted at kids, dedicated to... Europe. They probably organized it a long time ago, and though its wonderfully timely, as, as you may h...

Paris Flat Iron

I took this photo at the corner of rue de Hanovre and rue du 4 septembre, a street that starts near the Opera. It made me think right away of the Flat iron in New York City. Of course it ha...

Saint Michel area

I took this photo from the taxi that was taking me home from the airport after my vacation. I did not think it would be any good, but now that I see it on the computer I kinda like it. I took it in t...

Not that bad weather after all!

OK, maybe I exaggerated a bit when I said the weather is awful yesterday. I was just assuming from the weather forecast sites that it would be. And it is not! I took this photo right by the Pont Sain...
