Tips 1 - 10 of 11 Paris Off The Beaten Path

Many years ago, I stood a few days in one of the hotels in Caumartin St. I kept the idea that it was an ugly neighborhood, close to some of the really beautiful many things of Paris. I stood there again recently and... surprise! Meandering in those "hidden" streets, closed to traffic, I found another reality: A beautiful quarter, with fancy restaurants, statues, and a peaceful ambiance, in contrast with the rush of the main avenues. Wrong idea in the first impressions, or an excellent work in space rehabilitation?

The trip to the "island" of La Defense is several kilometers long, and somewhat boring. The monotony is broken in Porte Maillot with an ugly but simultaneously appealing building. A simulated odd door brakes a blind and flat facade, giving some expression to the whole. After the long minutes searching your guides to discover what the hell is that pavilion, you will be arriving to La Defense or Étoile, which means back to tourism.

The northern "border" of interesting Paris is dotted wit a couple of arches with few differences except size. The smallest one, St Martin was built in 1674 and restored in 1988. It has some bas reliefs, that I couldn't appreciate, because, when we passed there, we heard... shooting. Yes, it is frontier land!

In Portugal we use to say that "one image speaks more than 1000 words". Having that in mind, and more than 1000 pictures to post, I decided to change my behaviour, posting the pictures as soon as they are ready, and adding the comments later. Don't get mad on me - I'm glad to share my pictures with you, and the comments will be added soon.

Did I understand correctly that the painter Adriano de Sousa Lopes was your great uncle? I believe at least one of his paintings was in an exhibition on Portuguese Discoveries that I saw in Brussels. (I like your unusual Paris shopping tips, by the way.) | MarcusH Thu May 28, 2009 11:43 UTC
