Shopping for Christmas

A French boutique for Christmas shopping ...

Waiting for the train at the Gare de l'Est

This last weekend I took the TGV (fast train) to go near Strasbourg in the Alsace region, east of France on the German border. The Alsace region is very well know in France for its Christmas markets.
Here is a view af the great hall of the Gare de l'Est (east railway station).

Painted windows

A real work of art and sure better than nothing.

More of Le Marais

Part of the "Archives" building in Le Marais with ending of the day lights

Notre Dame de Clignancourt

Right in front of the 18th arrondissement city hall is the church Notre Dame de Clignancourt. Not famous but I like it.

East side

This view of the Seine river is taken from the "Pont National" bridge on the very east side of the city. On the left you can see the National Library towwer and on the right the trees fo the Parc de Bercy. This is a part of Paris that has changed a lot these last 10 years and which is still changing.
