Sometimes I feel that Paris looks best in black and white… it’s not that she doesn’t wear colour well… it’s just that Paris and shades of grey seem to walk hand in hand. Last weekend there was a drama to the skies… rolling, dark clouds threw themselves over the city… teasing us with their presence… and cloaking us in their theatrics. The Parisians relaxed and enjoyed the show… the visitors, snapped happy.
One of my favourite walks through the Jardins des Tuleries towards Le Louvre, tells the story.
entering from place de la concorde
walking through the gardens and looking towards rue de rivoli
garden statuary and le louvre in the distance
the place du carousel and the triumphant arch
the beauty is in the details
and the view from the pont des arts
Tell me… Do you see Paris in black and white? Or do you think she is all colour?… xv
