La photographe -- Holly à Paris

When in Paris, you have to go to extremes to get just the right shot...

I do not think that wearing red will help with the "stealth" shots.

Café de la Paix -- au matin

Early one April morning Marie and I found this gentleman just beginning his daily routine, arranging the café chairs on the terrace of Café de la Paix. It was designed by Charles Garnier, the architect of Palais Garnier which sits just over your shoulder.

I would love to stop there this Monday morning for une noisette with my friends.

Place de l'Opéra - Une Porte

How many times have I come to the street from the Métro to the stunning presence of Opéra Garnier and not glanced to the right to see this amazing door.

This day I got a bonus with a zoom-zoom, too!

Ma chère amie, Malyss, of Chronicles from the Shore in Southern France has posted a guest photo that I sent to add to her collection of benches in her other blog, Benches on My Way. She has two beautiful blogs and I want to get to her area this next year to meet her in person.
