jump off the carrousel and
run away with me

La tristesse
Cimetière de Passy
One of thousands of statues
in Paris cemeteries,
this one resonated with me.

Jardin de l'Acclimatation
This pigeon house (pigeonnier) in Jardin de l'Acclimatation
was used during the siege of Paris in 1870
to send messages by carrier pigeon.
I do not know if pigeons are in
residence there today

Fondation Louis-Vuitton
Fondation Louis-Vuitton
What genius to have designed this intriguing structure at
the edge of Bois de Boulogne. One has a feeling of
riding an enormous ship high above the Bois de Boulogne
with a view of the Paris skyline in the distance.

Marché Couvert Passy
Covered Market in Passy
Taking his job quite seriously,
he is opening fresh oysters at a small bar
in the back of the market
You can enjoy them at the small counter with
only three or four chairs, but if you
love oysters he has some of the finest
miam-miam!

Fondation Louis-Vuitton II
Louis Vuitton Foundation
(Frank Gehry, architect)
As I posted yesterday, the museum appears as a ship,
white and translucent with billowing sails.
Here at the very base of the "hull"
you can see the body of water in which it sits.
Today I am joining James' Weekend Reflections

Aux Merveilleux de Fred
et voila!
Aux Merveilleux de Fred
"Fred" is Frédérick Vaucamps and his pastry shops are described as
"A visual and olfactory experience, the Merveilleux are made in
front of the customer in each of the stores."
So what is this Merveilleux? In a variety of versions
the core is a feather-light meringue coated in chocolate whipped cream with
shavings of dark chocolate. Miam-miam!
He has given each of the varieties fanciful names:
The Incroyable, the Impensable, the Magnifique, the Excentrique,
and the Sans-Culotte. Read more about these shops here

Un mystère
...continued from yesterday's post
She has rolled the creamy substance from the
bowl into balls. Wonder if she feels the pressure
creating this "marvelous" concoction in the viewing window?

Pont de Bir-Hakeim
Pont de Bir-Hakeim
Built between 1903 and 1905 this steel bridge has two levels,
the lower one for vehicles and pedestrians,
and the upper level (the viaduct) supports Métro Line 6.
The iron sculpture framed by the yellow poplar leaves
is one of four on the main arches of the bridge.
This one was designed by Jules-Felix Coutan and represents Labor.
This was my first visit to Pont de Bir-Hakeim,
and I will share more photos with you soon.
(Joyeux Anniversaire, Renée!)

The door swings open
to reveal the neglected plants
and the eternal beauty
of a Russian Orthodox mosaic.

Le Cycliste
The Bicyclist
Pedaling easily up the narrow brick-paved alley,
this mature gentleman quickly passed through my camera's focus.
Always be ready for the unexpected....

Café Antoine

Sadly, this charming little cafe
with its red facade
and zinc bar is closed.
Happy to say that before it closed
I enjoyed lunch with a friend as we sat
in this front window and chatted with the regulars.

Roi Charles épagneul
King Charles Spaniel
The Parisians dote on their dogs, no matter the size.
This King Charles was outfitted with a fleece lined rain-cape
for the intermittent showers of spring.
I have seen small dogs and large,
the biggest... a Great Dane on rue de Richelieu!

Rue Raynouard - Passy
Just above the wall-lined street you can see
this wonderful collection of windows, roofs, balconies,
and chimneys all washed in the glow of a winter afternoon's sunliight.
The architecture and textures
have interesting details.

Un lion en automne
A Lion in Winter Autumn
Looking up at the sculpted balcony with its ironwork balustrade
one sees the trellis of red and graceful curtains.
Do not miss the guardian of it all,
le lion.
