Artiste à l'oeuvre

an artist at work?

The Viaduc des Arts houses many 

artists ranging from design artists, textiles,

furniture-making, printmaking,

parapluies (umbrellas), musical instruments,

jewelry, porcelain, and more.

The studios have full glass fronts which 

allow the flâneur a clear view of the studios within.

Le Train Bleu

Le Train Bleu

High above the platforms of Gare de Lyon 

sits this elegant restaurant, Le Train Bleu.

 

Although the menu is rather expensive,

one can enjoy the ambiance with a glass

of wine or Champagne.

Église Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts

Église Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts

the primary organ

This great organ comes from the instrument built 

by the renown Aristide Cavaille-Coll in 1894 for the mansion of Baron Espée.  

It was moved from the Baron's residence on 

Avenue Bois de Boulogne to Saint-Antoine in 1909.

You can click here to listen to a short piece on this organ.

Like many churches, there is a second organ, 

a practice organ for the choir, which I will show you another time.

Port de l'Arsenal

From certain Bastille Métro platforms 

you can see the boats moored in Port de l'Arsenal.

This warm September day reveals a business meeting

on the deck of a boat.  The three look as if

this is "business as usual."

Église Saint-Roch

The candles in this side chapel 

of Église Saint Roch

may not capture your attention

but I wonder about the image

of a young woman crying that appears 

in the upper right corner.

a ghost or my imagination?

L'or de septembre

September "gold"

There is something to look forward 

to with the changing of seasons

in Paris.

This is the first glimpse of gold.

It will be another month before the Ginko leaves turn.

Parc de la Turlure

Officially known as the square Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet 

but better known as Parc de la Turlure,

 this is a small but charming park in Montmartre, 

located right behind the Sacré-Coeur Basilica. 

This site was once occupied by the moulin de Turlure, 

one of more than 30 windmills that once stood on Butte Montmartre. 

The park has a beautiful pergola and this cascade fountain

Sacré Coeur et Sainte-Trinité

Paris skyline

From the rooftop of Printemps, looking north/northeast,

one can see a soft palette of colors 

in the outline of Sacré Coeur

and Sainte-Trinité

(The tower to the left of Sacré Coeur 

is the basilica's bell tower)

Le Consulat

Restaurant - le Consulat

This bistro is adorned in deep red and housed in a building 

which has likely been in place on Butte Montmartre for nearly 400 years.

Beside the tourists of Montmartre there is much beauty, 

history, and architecture to be enjoyed.  

Enjoy the views and wander the back streets.
