Sapins de Noël - Passage du Grand Cerf



2013 Nov21 Paris _20131121 180 DSC_1865


Christmas trees in Paris


Giggling on the first occasion of seeing 
Christmas trees dressed like sausages, 
I now find them totally charming.  


The stands made of split tree trunks are quite solid 
and they are ready to be carried off, 
through the Métro or by bus to a waiting Paris apartment.  


The scents of fresh evergreen are as omnipresent 
as those of the baguettes from the nearby boulangerie.

Love this photo! They really do look a bit odd - like a family of aliens or something!

Those shapes of the wrapped trees are really interesting.

Here they tend to wrap them in what looks more like a net.
