Reims and Epernay, Champagne

28 images

A weekend in Reims, and a day trip to Epernay - all for educational reasons of course. I sipped Champagne in between visiting the many cathedrals and churches...
Pompidou Centre - Beaubourg

8 images

For some reason, this building's architecture has always fascinated me. All the pipes, plumbing, airconditioning and electrical infrastructure, are on the outside...so that there is more room inside for the art.
Musée de Cluny

14 images

The Museum of the Middles Ages contains all things from the dark era...and then, something very beautiful..

Marche Aux Puces - Porte de Vanves

A stroll through the quirky and the bazaar, will remind you that you can't take it with you... It was hard to walk past so many ornate Louis XIII chairs and 19th century porcelain, in this, one of Paris' famous flea markets...
Weird stuff I've seen in Paris...

3 images

Ok...so I want to grow this album...take a look now and then, and see what stops me in the street enough to dare me to get my camera out and risk being observed taking a photo of the absurd..
Notre Dame Cathedral

9 images

Alors...I was just strolling past, and though I haven't been inside on this trip (I am dying to take a photo of the spiral staircase...) I thought I best snap these shots. I just love gargoyles...
Sunset at L'Hotel de Ville

8 images

Not only did I get to capture the sun setting on L'Hotel de Ville, but I sat for a while watching the faces of children on the carousel..
Canal St Martin, et le Marché, à Rue Alibert

13 images

Just behind my apartment, is this wonderful canal...Canal St Martin. On the other side of the canal, is a sunday morning market...with everything you could ever dream to buy in a French market. Coquilles St Jacques, Brioche, Raisins from Tunisia, wine, flowers... and a variety of fish, bread, and legumes...
