La Tour d'Argent - les lumières


La Tour d'Argent


Although I have not dined at La Tour d'Argent 
and would love to explore their wine list
one can enjoy the aesthetics of the wrought iron lamp posts
and the Guimard awning over the entrance door.

diptyque - parfumerie



diptyque

This is a charming shop on boulevard Saint-Germain
specializing in perfumes and also scents for
the home.  Even if you already have a favorite there
are scents which are not available elsewhere.


Plan a visit to the original diptype store.
This small shop is big on friendly customer service and
I have always been well-received on my visits.

Palais Garnier



The tremendous size of this building
almost causes a person to 
overlook the magnificent
details.


Did I mention that I have
a thing for shoes?

Basilique Saint Denis


Basilique Saint Denis

It is worth the trip to the outskirts of Paris to see this basilica, 
with its outstanding array of 
stained glass windows, 
Gothic arches, 
funerary art, 
tombs and sculptures.

Les vitrines de jouets - CDP Theme Day



Looking out of a store window at the winter
landscape, the tin toys resemble paper silhouettes 
against a palette of neutrals.


The theme for the City Daily Photo Bloggers
on this first day of March:  A photo that is in color
but appears almost as a black and white shot.
