Parc Montsouris - Les Enfants et le grand arbre

Parc Montsouris

The height of this sturdy limb

provides an adventurous but relatively safe climb

If you are going to Paris and want to see la vie quotidienne

in Paris, visit this park on a Sunday afternoon.

The top of this famed church on 

Rue Saint Honoré catches the golden

glow of a late afternoon sun

I eat enough vegetables and fruit to be a vegetarian but do eat

meat in moderation.  However, I can clear the table eating seafood.

Arcachon Bay - le carrousel

The gray skies did not deter the boaters, swimmers,

and carrousel riders

Église de la Madeleine

Église de la Madeleine

There is much written about this very photogenic 

and beautiful church which sits prominently in the 8ième.

Do you know that there are 52 of these Corinthian columns,

each 20 m high (65.5 feet!).  The fact that it was

 designed as "a temple to the glory of Napoleon's army" may explain

the enormity of La Madeleine.  It is one of my favorites, and the

acoustics are amazing!

Jardin du Palais Royal - la barrière de fer

Jardin du Palais Royal

Painstakingly maintained, 

the gold spires of the garden's

wrought iron fence are stunning.

There are times when you cannot find an empty chair

on the edge of this fountain, but it is a perfect spot for reflection.

Pont de Sully

Pont de Sully

This is one of the few cast iron bridges
remaining in Paris today.  Built (rebuilt, actually) by
Haussmann in 1876, Pont de Sully is actually two bridges
connecting the eastern tip of Ile Saint Louis
with the banks of the 4th and 5th arrondissements.

Les balcons fleurissent

Balconies ornate with 

flowers

I could be quite content with a corner

of this building in the cinquième, close

to the Seine with an exquisite view.

La solitude

This gentleman had the quay to

himself and one would imagine that 

many are now enjoying the August sunshine
