Voie privée

A locked gate overlooks a section of métro track that runs above ground.

Evening tipple

Warm September evenings invite stopping for a drink-&-chat in the bustling quartier of Old Belleville.

Métro

Coming out of a métro exit near Sorbonne University in the Latin Quarter I turned around and got this shot.

L'assiette mixte

Local wine bars and wine restaurants are the surest places to find share-worthy combo cheese and charcuterie plates and planches. Country bread, butter from Isigny and a crisp Bandol rosé round this one out.

Turret syndrome

Turrets on the corners of buildings are an architectural feature in areas of the city that Haussmann didn't get to.

Shoe in

The fall collections are hardly in and already these spat-like shoes by CHANEL are being spotted at some of the most branché addresses around town.

Dog tags

  A building defaced by tags. No sooner does the city get them cleaned off more appear on other walls.
