Rue Saint Roch
my street in Paris
This is undoubtedly one of the smallest of café terraces with seating for six.
Rue Saint Roch runs between Rue de Rivoli
and Avenue de l'Opéra, a single-lane, one-way street.
From my residence of choice in Paris, I can look (hang) out of the large windows
and watch the school children marching their way to Jardin des Tuileries,
gaze on the large stained glass windows of Église Saint-Roch,
or, in warm weather, observe the wonderful food selections on the terrace below.
Often we can hear the music from one or more of the church's three organs.
Just thinking about my street in Paris lightens my mood
and brings a smile to my face.

Hey, isn't that the same street that Virginia stays on when she is in Paris? There has to be a reason . . .

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed V's view of your street—and yours is totally charming too. You guys are lucky to have such a good view when you're in our fave place!
ReplyDeleteSuch a photogenic street - thank you for sharing this beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful little corner of Paris. It goes straight into my list of places to visit next time in Paris!
ReplyDeleteIn Paris there is nearly everywhere a place to put tables and chairs. I will soon go to your street and think of you.
