Homme de musique - Rue Cler

Rue Cler

This charming man was a regular for many years, 

but I do not recall having seen him in the past year or so.

He has a lovely voice and sings with animation and passion.

Have you seen him lately?

Les Floralies

Rue Cler

On this pedestrian street, 

the local residents have a wide selection 

of fresh produce, flowers, linens, chocolates, and a daily market.

The terrace cafes are a great place to watch pedestrians 

and the street's activities.

La vie quotidienne - Rue Cler

Les marchés de Paris

It is impossible to read a novel (or non-fiction) 

about life in Paris without observing the daily shopping.  

I think about the time I spend driving to 

the seafood market, 

the family-owned vegetable market, 

and the grocery for the other items.  

How wonderful would it be to walk down this pedestrian street, 

greeting your neighbors, while selecting all the items you need.

Rue Cler

A favorite street of mine as you can run into old friends and make new ones.  This pedestrian street is only a few blocks long, but it is a delightful neighborhood  and the decorations are appealing in the daylight as well as at night.

I am thinking about my friend Christiane who I first met here several years ago, 

and who shared with me her treasured fèves anciennes.  We have kept up with each other over the years, and Holly and I saw her in Paris recently.

It makes me think of an old poem, "Make new friends and keep the old.  

One is silver and the other gold."  I do treasure the friends I have made in Paris.

Rue Cler - les sapins de Noël

 

Les sapins de Noël 

Most of the trees in Paris are quite petite compared to what one might see in the US.

If I lived there, I would want a small tree no taller than me, 

perhaps one like the little one on the right.  The log stands are beyond charming.

Le chien de la rue Cler

The marché on rue Cler was full of people this day

and provided a great opportunity to explore the scents and sounds of the market.
