Paris.
The first time you come to Paris and even the second and third time you must see the sights. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Champs Elysees, the Louvre, Montmarte, The Arc de Triomphe...
How could you not want to see that which makes Paris Paris?
Though Paris, oh Paris has so much more,
endlessly more,
romantically more,
deliciously more...
so much more that I have never seen nor experienced, and cannot imagine that I ever will.
And that is why Paris is Paris.
Endless wonder.
Carousel at Montmarte.
Luxembourg Jardin.
Rodin Museum.
Store Fronts that are not large companies allowing Paris not to feel like a big impersonal city.
Sewing shops.
French antique postcards.
I collect postcards with children and their pets.
Plein air artists.
Montmarte.
The Louvre.
Red umbrellas.
Paris.
That counts right?
"Monet?" I thought. But I received an email from a Mike, a blog reader of mine that thankfully corrected me:
"Ummmmmmm... not Monet, Corey. He was good but he wasn't Van Gogh. That's a detail shot from, Dr. Gachet's backyard, with
Marguerite Gachet. 1890 Auyers-sur-Oise."
Painters.
Artist Plein air.
Daily life
French store front.
Looking out of the Picasso Museum.
Picasso signed most of his art work on the backside, and only the pieces he sold on front. In the Picasso museum there are only three or four pieces that are signed on front.
I found one.
Flower chalk board signs.
Check my FACEBOOK page for videos.
Chalkboard flower signs.
Small cafes
bistrots
Where you not are rushed.
Tips included.
When in Paris savor
every bite,
every taste
for it is a feast for the senses.

Merci, Corey!

Oh, so many wonderful views of Paris! My favorites: Monet, the artist with his easel and paints, the bridge with red umbrellas, the chalkboard signs...oh, well I think I love all of them. :)
Thank you, Corey!

All the photos are wonderful and I so enjoyed the link to the Autochrome photos of Paris before the World Wars. Oh, if only we could redo history.

Corey, would you be able to peek behind some of the gorgeous big front door and show us the courtyards?
Are these part of every old apartment building?
Thank you so much.

San Francisco is my favorite city.... but, Paris is my favorite city, too.... so many wonderful, individual neighborhoods, so many amazing, yet daily & fabulous sights to see. The unique-ness of these always vibrant yet changing places with their own flavors are so lovely... thank you, corey, for your artful & discerning eye! thank you.....

I love all the photos you are sharing. Thank you. Can you share any pics of what the common people wear every day on the street? It is always a dilemma for me when I travel and I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb. :)
