Empty and waiting

Usually this café, heat lamps on, gets so busy at lunchtime that it has to turn customers away.

Looking up

   

A woman walking her dog heads home up these stairs.

 

Deserted

In Montmartre, the usually animated Place des Abbesses with its carousel and cafés, almost deserted.

Night light

A métro sign, like a beacon, as night falls.

Cobbled streets

An entry into a world of snaking streets and secret passageways....

Floral explosion

 

A fleuriste with chandeliers inside and tantalizing arrangements set up outside. Today, a voluminous bouquet of white hydrangeas.

Of hearth and home

Animal portraits and giant golden apples are just some of the unusual decorative touches inside a small hotel near the Odéon theater.
