Spring Snow

So, as you will have all noticed, the weather has been rather weird for this time of year. Snow in Paris in the middle of March? I don't think so! Well actually...yes.

Here is the Sacré Coeur yesterday afternoon in its' full snowy glory.

The Lapin Agile was looking very picturesque.

I went up to the Place de Tertre at midnight last night and had the place to myself. TO MYSELF!


Take at look at the reflections in the windows. Snow with added snow.


A touch of colour.


The manège at the bottom of the stairs infront of the Sacré Coeur was out of action.


Stairs in rue Cortot, by the Musée de Montmartre.


Rue de l'Abreuvoir.


An Angel!


Today we went to the Jardin des Tuileries. The snow had mostly melted. As we zig-zagged our way through the puddles this amazing woman caught my eye. 

Well caught!

Magical Monday - Alien Lamppost

This Alien Lamppost in the Jardin des Tuileries was definitely eyeballing me.


Every Monday, Magical Monday, I post a photo that is hopefully puzzling, fantastical or unexpected.

Magical Monday - A Flame Carrier in the Tuileries

This woman has been reclining in the Jardin des Tuileries since 1964. The original statue, made of stone and sculpted by artist Aristide Maillol in 1923 can be found on the port of Vendres in the South of France, very near Perpignan. 

The other evening I saw her carrying a fiery flame.
Le Monument aux morts de Port-Vendres.
