La fleuriste

This florist in Montmartre had found a way to make these old pipes much more charming outside of the shop.

Le fleuriste

Paris florists decorate the outside of their shops as much as inside. This lovelyvine, tied against this glorious peeling pipe was reason to stop for photos.

Montmartre

Paris Rouge - Le Refuge

 We met our friend Owen here for coffee then a spin through the Saint-Vincent Cemetery.

Ciné 13 Théâtre

Located in Montmartre, the former Théätre du Tetre was rebuilt and renovated int the 1920's. Well known for its comfy leather club chairs, since 2000, they have made way for comfortable red sofas. Maybe one day we will take in a performance here.

Au Marché de la Butte

 Amélie shopped here. I think it might have been spruced up a bit since I took this photo a few years ago. 

Le mur de l'amour

I never tire of slipping into Square Jehan Ridus,in Montmartre, to gaze on this lovely wall. LOVE written in 250 languages.  J'aime cela.

I love street photography in Paris.

Paris Rouge - La crêperie

La crêperie, Montmartre.

Paris Rouge - La tour Eiffel

The hearty souls selling their art at Place du Tertre, brave even the cold temps in January!

Paris Rouge - Les visages

I"m always fascinated with how Parisians find a way to install art in the most unexpected places. These bright ROUGE steel girders at a constructions site in Montmartre became an outdoor art exhibit. J'adore!

Sunday Church Series - La Basilique du Sacré-Coeur - Montmartre

Possibly some of the most beautiful church doors in Paris.

Paris Rouge - le moto

Spotted in Montmartre, my favorite color!

Tombées du camion

Paris is chock full of charming and unusual shops that might take a bit of looking but are well worth the effort. Several years ago, I bought *Paris Made By Hand, a treasure of a handbook featuring Paris' most unusual shops by arrondissement. It took some searching but Peter and Mary helped me find it. Tombées du camion, which means "fell off the truck" is a tiny shop full of an electic mix of unusual finds. This is a place that although hard to explain, is a photographer's paradise.

* Of note: I recommend doing a search online for any shops you might want to visit as I've found that since the book was written, several have closed. 

Mon chat noir Meeps

Would be very happy living in Montmartre!

Le Troubadour

Montmartre is always a good idea but especially in autumn!

Nouveaux vs anciens

Cimetière du Montmartre, the third largest in Paris, features a road running directly overhead some of the resting places. The current cemetery was finished in 1824 and built in an abandoned gypsum quarry. Rue Caulaincourt, or Pont Caulaincourt, a decorative metal viaduct runs over it. This is a resting place in Paris that I recommend if you are visiting Montmartre and want to experience a Paris cemetery. 

Le bassiste

Finding street bands and musicians on Paris streets are favorite subjects for me. This group was playing near Métro Abbesses in Montmartre.
