Two days in Paris, 400 pics.
Let's start with the opera.
A lot of traffic, and very many "hop in hop off" tourist buses.
A lot of Japanese restaurants,
and still people line up for creation ones.
Art seen at Place Vendome in the evening.
Dinner time at Place du Marchße Saint-Honoré.
This is where I had nice party dinner 11 years ago,
really, the last time I visited Paris!
Last change to see the FIAC open air art at Place Vendome.
Most shows were gone by Sunday nite.
See the blue sky ...! The weather was very summerly.
Only because of the sunny weather I only checked Louvre from outside.
So many interesting things to be seen outdoors.
Will they also make a photo book?
This was also a part of the FIAC exhibition.
Guess which sight?
"Unlimited Bodies" au Palais d'Iena.
Sculptures showing bodies.
Very interesting bodies in an interesting exhibition hall never seen before.
Le lunch.
Never done before: sightseeing boat tour on the river Seine.
Nice views - it was October!
Happy faces everywhere!
Nice views everywhere.
What's up in the city?
Les Halles is been rebuilt, renovated, reconstructed.
Huge building site next to Centre Pompidou.
A room with a view. Very parisienne!
No view in the morning ...where did these foggy clouds come from???
Sacre Coeur was in my program, so had to go there.
My travel guide of 1987 says:
"Wer in Samt und Seide wühlen möchte, in Chiffon und Crêpe de Chine,
wer einen exklusiven Bezugstoff sucht oder ein bunt gedrucktes Leinen,
pfiffige Bordure, Kordeln ..."
Rue de Steinkerque today was full of textiles, yes, indeed ... but nothing fancy.
Ojeee.
The magnificent view over Paris.
When the sun shines.
Quite often house corners are decorated with modern "art".
What is it .. should check that, too.
Seen in Marais, at least from outside a very cute hotel:
Caron de Beaumarchais, 12 Rue Vieille du Temple.
Was in the area looking for this combo bar-bookshop,
a true recommendation of Rosebud book shop keeper Iia.
Opens only at 17 hours ...
What a found!
They do fold books in Paris, too, and sell them for €200!
Check all those paper shops in rue du Pont-Louis-Philippe.
Morning clouds vanished, great walking weather continued.
One boat.
At quarter past six it was still 23°
Walking from my 9Hotel to the Gare de l'Est.
Perfect train connection from city center Frankfurt to city center Paris:
less than four hours.
