I have been to France three times and I visited Paris twice but I have to say I was not that impressed with it. I mean Paris is a great site with interesting old architecture and culture, but personally I found french people arogant and too proud. So that’s why I never liked Paris that much. I preffer Rome. Warm city, open people, great foot, laughter all around…

Would you be interested in a beautiful nice Eifel tower replica? It is made out of copper with a little flash light on top.
You can have it for almost nothing. I have some to spare. A real bargain! Your chance of a life time. Go for it. Not interested? Really? C’mon, you don’t know what you are missing. How about one for your mom?

@eileen – yes that area was not really my favourite area.

@grigorisgirl: thank you!

@Eileen: I have never really tried B&W photography. I really like it though, so maybe I should give it a try.

@edwinek – I missed the Boules players! But I do indeed love that beautiful head, it’s so wonderful.

@miek: yes they have already been in London too :)

@pedro: I just totally ignored them, which kind of seemed to work. But they were quite persistent and annoying indeed. It was the only place where I felt I had to watch my bag (and back) :)

Ah, oui, Paris…
It’s like every big city in the world. There are things you like and things you hate. I remember those ‘salesman’ with their ‘petit tours Eiffel’ like it was yesterday. They’re as annoying as the people who try to sell you things at the pyramids in Egypt. When I say “Non, merci” or “In s’Allah” it must be clear I don’t want to buy anything. Things like that can ruin my entire day.
Le Metro is the best thing since sliced baguette. I can’t imagine Paris without it. I’ve been to Paris in a car and it was so crowded I parked near a Metro station and found out I was still 20 km from the Champs Elysee.
Les photos sont très magnifique!

Nice photos, I really have to go there again soon. Another tip: the Jardin du Forum des Halles, where you shot the beautiful head, is a great place to watch the boules-playing in the late afternoon and early evening.

Great photos! I especially like the colors of “Waiting for the Metro”. You find art in the simplest, everyday things. Have you tried B&W — you may have an eye a la Robert Doisneau.
