Images of Paris to share... some old, some new

The view

Ma vue d'elle
There are two wonderful things about the view from Tour Montparnasse:

1) the beauty & perspective;

2) Montparnasse tower is not in it.

Anthony took the original pic that made me goto Tour Montparnasse to shoot this one: his superior and original effort is here:
Pauls tower, Invalides, & the Arc


Ville de lumiere

Paris at night from Tour Montparnasse. Even with a tripod the gusts of wind were so strong on the 59th story roof it was impossible to hold the camera steady ... (and don't forget the building roof you are standing on is swaying in the wind also, tripod or no tripod ... )

I recommend you go there yourself (day & night) so you can see what I was lucky enough to see (without the blur). The view is especially magical at the top of the hour when le Tour goes batshi#

Paris Metro: Porte Dauphine


My favorite Metro entrance, Porte Dauphine by Bois de Boulogne
oh la la
Jo Goldenberg delicatessen is now CLOSED



Rue des Rosiers

CLOSED FOREVER 01/'06
On a "Marais day" I used to stop in for 50 grams of their delicious sausage. The lady behind the counter offered me a free sampler plate of her favorites, and they also were delicious.

A very historic square in the Marais.
I took the deli treats over to Place des Vosges for a picnic by the fountain.

 The service was absolutely wonderful. The food was of great quality with the service & ambience even better. The crème Brule was so completely smooth, light, exquisitely flavoured with hints of vanilla and caramel.” Five stars from me!
