Sunday Church Series - Église Val-de-Grâce

We had this amazing view of this beautiful church from our apartment window for 3 weeks in 2009. I took advantage.

Le coucher du soleil

If you are lucky enough to catch sunset on the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette, you are lucky enough. I've had this as my screen saver for while. I share this loveliness with you.

Signes du Samedi - Galeries Lafayette

In the winter months, you are rewarded for braving the cold in Paris by being able to witness a Paris sunset from atop the rooftop of Galeries Layfayette.  (It closes around 6,  so in the warmer months the sun doesn't set for a very long time after that.)  We took full advantage in November,  and as I was madly snapping photos along with everyone else that afternoon, I turned and spotted the sign with the photographers silhouetted.  

Coucher du soleil

The rooftop of Galeries Lafayette is the perfect spot to watch the sunset in Paris. In the winter months you can capture it all and it's a photo frenzy with cameras, phones, and Ipads! I like to think it a little perk for braving Paris in the colder months. In the spring and summer, the rooftop closes well before sunset. Quelle dommage. 

The Last Sunset

I was lucky enough to be walking down rue de la Paix towards Place Vendôme my last afternoon in Paris.  Très belle!

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.

High Tech à Paris

Some of us traipse up to the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette armed with large or small cameras to capture sunset in Paris with this spectacular view. Others  pull out their iPad.

 What can I say....

Coucher due soleil

Not bad for 698 years old!  La Conciergerie is presently undergoing renovations, so if you are traveling to Paris this year,  check its status if you're interested in going inside.

le Sigh!!!

As we walked down from Montmartre after a day of cold and rain, we were greeted by this beautiful sunset.  The promise of fair weather!!  Just seeing this again, still takes my breath. C'est Paris!
