Eyes without a face

Almost everything inside this must-be-seen-to-be-believed small boutique is designed to trompe your œil.

A queen's final stop

A medieval fortress on the river, the Conciergerie rises like a spectre over bouquiniste stalls, as imposing today as it was when Marie Antoinette was imprisoned there.

Kiosque

To every neighborhood its kiosques à journaux.

Chérubins

These chérubins, four total, seem to be protecting the city's main town hall.

Let's sit here

Café chairs face outward so patrons can enjoy the ongoing street show of Everyday Life.

Blue white and red

Another self portrait by Gregos, who seems to be partial to the Montmartre district.

Chocolate-studded bliss

Fresh from the oven these brioches will fly off the countertops before they've had a chance to cool down.
