Sudden café

One of my favorite subjects to photograph is cafés, and I came upon this one completely by surprise despite visiting this quartier often.

Back-to-school

The stately Université Sorbonne embodies the spirit of this week's rentrée scolaire.

Evening falls and the Île Saint-Louis springs to life.

Now a regular café-restaurant this was writer Balzac's go-to place for fresh oysters from Brittany.

78 rue Montorgueil 75002

Dead fish

Scrawled onto peeling wallpaper, "Only the dead fish follow the current."

Next stop: Pigalle
Don’t let Pigalle’s naughty reputation stop you from visiting this up/coming quartier’s cocktail bar sensations like Lulu White....
