Autumn in Montmartre #3

Scattered leaves and a parked bicycle.

 

Above: it's early and below, in the distance, a boulangerie and a café open for business

 

 

Autumn in Montmartre #2

 

Suddenly leaf-covered sidewalks and squares seem to be everywhere.

 

Above: walking their dogs where just a week before there were tables and chairs

 

 

 

 

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.
