Must be a French girl

Rue St Honoré


Stylish (but practical) boots 
Short pencil skirt with black tights
Vented raincoat with a flounce
Understated flat leather purse
Coordinated scarf


...and, a peppy cadence in her gait


perhaps not, but I think that she
...must be a French girl

Vin et Marée - un chat sur ​​un rebord

 

Cat on a ledge

 

I have passed by this address many times over the years
and have only recently looked up to see the wildcat
on the ledge above the window frame.


It is necessary to return to Paris often
as there are so many things yet unseen

Le Parisien - la vie quotidienne

The Parisian

la vie quotidienne

The moment is frozen in my memory.

A quick glimpse across the rooftops on Rue Saint-Honoré,

Monsieur on the telephone, cigarette in hand,

framed in a window, 

 the architecture of centuries past,

oblivious of my delight in capturing this scene.

What stories we could write

Église Saint Roch -- un petit musée?

Built in 1653, it was only between 1750 and 1770, that the interior of the Church was completed by top artists: Falconet, Vien, Doyen, Boullée. Today still, this church shelters a great number of works of art, paintings and sculptures, rescued from other churches destroyed during the tumult of the French Revolution. Each one of its inside chapels is a small museum.

Bon dimanche

Night cafe scene

On our last night in Paris, Janeen, Marie and I headed for dinner at Grand Colbert. As we walked along Rue St Honore from our apartment at Rue St Roch, I was taken by the quintessential Paris scenes playing out before my eyes. Already a bit nostalgic and feeling the tug of home and the lure of all that I love in Paris, each vignette played out in slow motion. The camera clicks are merely reflections of my memories, permanently etched.

Dansez-vous?

A few weeks ago just after dark, Marie, Peter and I were walking back toward the apartment along Rue St. Honoré and saw this window display at Chantal Thomass. The creativity of the "window artists" never ceases to amaze me in Paris. Here we have a salute to ballet with an authentic ballet barre, tutu, and pointe shoes (Repetto, bien sûr)... all with the promises of luxurious lingerie. Nothing naughty, just elegant French lingerie.

Would you buy these?*
