La Tour d'Argent - les lumières

La Tour d'Argent

Although I have not dined at La Tour d'Argent 

and would love to explore their wine list

one can enjoy the aesthetics of the wrought iron lamp posts

and the Guimard awning over the entrance door.

diptyque - parfumerie

diptyque

This is a charming shop on boulevard Saint-Germain

specializing in perfumes and also scents for

the home.  Even if you already have a favorite there

are scents which are not available elsewhere.

Plan a visit to the original diptype store.

This small shop is big on friendly customer service and

I have always been well-received on my visits.

Palais Garnier

Palais Garnier

The tremendous size of this building

almost causes a person to 

overlook the magnificent

details.

Did I mention that I have

a thing for shoes?

Basilique Saint Denis

Basilique Saint Denis

It is worth the trip to the outskirts of Paris to see this basilica, 

with its outstanding array of 

stained glass windows, 

Gothic arches, 

funerary art, 

tombs and sculptures.

Les vitrines de jouets - CDP Theme Day

Looking out of a store window at the winter

landscape, the tin toys resemble paper silhouettes 

against a palette of neutrals.

The theme for the City Daily Photo Bloggers

on this first day of March:  A photo that is in color

but appears almost as a black and white shot.
