Des fleurs de Montmartre

Although areas of Montmartre may be filled

with tourists, you can find quiet streets

and picturesque scenes as you move away from 

Place du Tertre

Rue Cortot

75018, Paris

Rue de l'Estrapade

With the photo taken through an impressive gate, 

I wondered what it would be like

to call this place home.

9, rue de l'Estrapade

75005, Paris

Rue Cambon

Window boxes in Paris

are often abloom with geraniums

providing color above the city streets

well into the winter months

Do you recognize the dome reflection

in the upper left window?

12, rue Cambon

75001, Paris

Rue Crémieux

Rue Crémieux

Bicycles, red geraniums in window boxes,

wrought iron, a resident cat (or two)...

Love this quiet rue

Rue Crémieux

75012, Paris

Carriage lamps and red geraniums

The clear Paris sky

provided a serene backdrop 

for these carriage lamps 

and red geranium flower boxes

28, rue Gabrielle

75018, Paris

l'apartement

With a grand piano,

art, a wall of books in French,

and fabulous views,

even the laundry looked better 

from this 6th floor window

Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine

75011, Paris

Jardinières avec des fleurs rouges

Window boxes 

On the second floor of this building in the Marais

the bleeding heart flowers and masses of red blooms

first caught my eye.

The giant thermometer which could be read 

from the street was a fascination.

46, rue de Poitou
75003, Paris

La porte et les fleurs

The window boxes in Paris

bloom most of the year.

The shadows and reflection add a softness 

to the many details of this one doorway, 

one among thousands.

38, boulevard Saint Germain

75005, Paris

Rue Gabrielle - 'shabby chic'

Rue Gabrielle

Montmartre

The dark reflection in the old glass panes 

adds to the mystery of this premier étage.  

The trace of last year's vines 

and the slant of the frame itself are in stark contrast 

with the fresh red geraniums.

I will take this "shabby chic" any day

33, rue Gabrielle

75018, Paris

Les fleurs dans la fenêtre

Red Geraniums

No matter the season, 

you can always find geraniums 

blooming in the window boxes of Paris' upper floors.

bon weekend

et demain - Budapest

Chez Julien - les fleurs

Chez Julien

The flower boxes of Paris are a ubiquitous presence in all parts of the city, 

and the red geraniums are quite hardy lasting until winter.

Look up

Chez Julien
1, rue du Pont Louis-Philippe
75004, Paris

Rue Audran

Rue Audran

The casual, slightly askew collection of flowers, plants and pots 

is perfect for the little workshop of two potters.

I must go back for another visit

l'atelier

Rue Audran

75018, Paris

Beaucoup de Fleurs

Beaucoup de Fleurs


On a quiet street just 
 east of the Eiffel Tower you can find some exquisite Paris  architecture. 
This building boasts flowers in both the design and the window boxes.

75007, Paris

Les fenêtres de Paris

Windows of Paris

 

 

 

If I lived in Paris I would have the perfect shade of blue shutters

and window boxes with pink geraniums.

 

 

Then, I would have a party and invite each of you.

 

 

 

As long as I am dreaming, it might as well

be the way I want it, n'est-ce pas?
