These doorways in the courtyard of the Hôtel de Sully at Place des Vosges, seems to always have friends sitting in the doorways. This couple seemed to be more than friends. Amour ?

Village de Noël
This shop on rue Butte- aux- Cailles, was still dressed for Christmas. It was closed that day so we couldn't go in and poke around.

Coucher de soleil
You will probably never see a Paris sunrise taken with my Canon, but I have a few sunsets that I especially love. This one with La Conciergerie in the distance is a praticular favorite of mine.

Beaucoup de choix
Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, was visual overload for me. I found too many choices to peruse and to photograph. I loves this old valise and the tango music in this stall.

La grille
Winding our way through this divine little out of the way street ( there was a sign, "PRIVÉ"- phfffttt ) on our way to have a look at Le Procope, I found so many things to photograph that it took longer than expected!

Sunday Church Series - Basilique Saint-Denis
This beautiful church is located in the suburb of St. Denis, about 9.4 km north of Paris. A beautiful church not to be missed.

Musique sur le pont
The Pont des Arts, a pedestrian bridge, is always alive with musicians, artists and other creative Parisians. This friendly gentleman's music added to our stroll across to the Left Bank.

Mademoiselle Li's
Artist Hippolyte Romain created this lovely little tearoom, Mademoiselle Li, in the Jardin d'Acclimation in the Bois de Boulogne. As the Jardin's artisitic director, his delightful illustrations are found all over the park, and on the outside walls of the masion de thé. We had lots of kiddos with us the day we visited so the tearoom was not on the list. Maybe I'll have another chance one day.

Paris Rouge - Bibliotèque nationale de France
The Bibliotèque nationale de France Richelieu ( under renovation) is probably a place I wouldn't just wander into but my friend Peter knew better. I took one look at the awnings and knew I would enjoy what was inside. The bare branches against the neutral walls caught me eye as well. I've made posts here and here of this visit. And I might just another.

Après la danse
After the singing and dancing on rue Mouffetard, many of the participants adjourn to smaller cafés up or down the street to have lunch and continuing the dancing. I discovered this quite by accident as we climbed Mouffetard this Sunday. I hear Monsieur's accordion and poked my camera in the open door. I was a little to shy to go in and pull up a chair, but who knows, maybe next trip I'll do just that!

Dans l'herbe
The Musée du quai Branly, one of Paris' newer museums displays collections of objects from African, Asian, Oceanian and American civilizations. Opened in 2006, it sits along the Seine with la Tour Eiffel close by. A nice friendship.

Un coup de amin
One of the most charming and unusual carrousels in Paris, the Dodo Manège features extinct and endangered animals. This petit enfant needed a little help from Papa.

The Tube
The industrial feel of the Centre Pompidou is not really my cup of tea, but I have to admit as a photographer, it offers endless photo opportunities, marvelous exhibits, and the views below are really a terrific viewpoint!

Sunday Church Series - Our Lady
Photographing the magnificent Cathèdrale Notre Dame de Paris is daunting. I like to find details such as this chandelier that seems to crown the Blessed Virgin.

Paris Rouge - Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine
There are a very few places in Paris that I think are off the beaten path. Why this fabulous museum ( that overlooks la Tour Eiffel) is still one of them, I have no idea. Have you been?

Attente
I'm sure there are lots of scenarios that we could all come up with here. Whatever his story, it's obvious that he was not enjoying the lovely summer afternoon at the Place des Vosges alone.

CDP Theme Day - Water's Edge
I chose this couple enjoying déjeuner at Six- Huit along the Seine. I'll admit I've never tried it but it does look like fun!
