Autumn in Montmartre

Fall colors seem to be more intense in Montmartre, the hilltop village of tree-lined streets that abruptly rises out of the city.

 

 

And the band plays on

A street corner band in the Latin Quarter brightens up the weekend.

Chocolate stop

Patrick Roger's chocolates remain my favorite chocolates. And I don't have a sweet tooth.

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.
