Fleurs de Paris

The flowers are abundant in Paris

and so are the flower shops

Beautiful and sturdy iron hinges on the

massive doors of this neo-gothic church 

are offset by the soft visage

Believing that there was only one neo-Gothic double-spired 

church in Paris (Basilica of Saint-Clotilde), 

we found this one in November 

just on the southern edge of the 19ème.

Click here to see an interior view and 

a bit of history of the church.

There is an abundance of churches in Paris

and I am convinced that it would be impossible to see them all.

The same applies to cemeteries.

Belleville - Rue Dénoyez

Rue Dénoyez - graffiti street

This street of abandoned buildings and closed shops 

has been transformed as a palette for graffiti artists, 

welcomed by the Belleville community 

and supported by nearby stores, cafés, and markets.

Each time you visit this street, the canvas will have changed,

 and you might find one of these artists at work.
