Crowning the hill

The Basilica of Sacré Coeur dominates this morning's skyline.

Provence in Paris

A touch of Provence in Paris:

 

Exclusively during summer and for just four more days escape the canicule in the private garden courtyard of a 16th century former abbey.

 

Open bar - live music

Palais Abbatial
Place de Furstemberg

5 rue de l'Abbaye 75005

Mellow yellow

On this unseasonably chilly morning a café-restaurant eases into the day.

Just like home

A métro station ad for a food delivery service that says, "The cooking of a restaurant, the comfort of home."

Turquoise door

 

 

A beautiful old door that has become one of my favorites.

Wine stop

A quick stop at a wine shop/bar à vins on a cobbled street off the river.

Standing room only

So many books have been squeezed into this cozy librairie that there's hardly room to walk around.
