Molière, blindfolded

Someone (was it you?) has placed a red blindfold onto the statue of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name, Molière.

Saint Paddy's green

A green trashcan in the far corner, green bicycles, a green café... right on cue for Saint Patrick's Day.

Seedy

Incredibly crunchy, fragrant and hot from the boulanger's oven.

From a houseboat

A view of the Eiffel Tower from the deck of a houseboat rented by friends.

Sidewalk café

Paris has no shortage of inviting sidewalk cafés.

Step up

The light streaming from overhead gives this Montmartre stairway an ethereal feel.

Parting shot

Philippe Starck's interior pays homage to artist Salvador Dali who spent about a month of each year here for thirty years in the old Royal Suite.
