I really liked holding this blog and sharing with you but even after a very nice vacation time I still want to have a break and start to enjoy my city without always thinking "pictures". For the past years I nearly couldn't get out without my camera and I was always thinking about what I could share with you. I think I need to breathe a little and maybe come back on a not daily basis and maybe share more of life and not only photos.<br />
I would of course love to stay in touch with the people I already met ( Virginia and Genie I wait for your next visit !) and if some of you want to talk by email I would love that. You can write me to "dailyphotoparis@gmail.com". If you come to visit Paris and need information or eventually meet for a drink in a "café" I would love it.<br />
Au revoir<br />

It's theme day today and also it's time for my summer holidays. I am taking a long break away from Paris and also away from the blog. This may also be a longer break than my holiday time as I may not continue blogging when I return. It's been 2 years and a half since I started this blog which I enjoyed a lot updating everyday and sharing with people from all over the world. Now I feel maybe a little less motivated and I'm thinking of ending this nice story. Maybe the holidays will make me change my mind ...<br />

The Quai Branly museum features indigenous art, cultures and civilizations from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. It's located near the Eiffel tower along the Seine river and it's one of my favorite museum in Paris. The art presented in the museum is splendid and the building itself designed by Jean Nouvel is a must see.<br />
This past weekend the museum celebrated its 5th year and its success as 7 millions people visited the place since it opened.

Yesterday we had the Gay Pride parade in Paris. It's the last one before next year presidential elections so it was as always fun and gay but also more political. We just heard that New York voted the gay marriage and in Europe lots of countries did too, even very "religious" ones like Spain or Portugal. Here, French right wing politician just voted no lass week ...I guess that one more reason to get ride off Sarkozy next year !Laurenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218155767838736240.post-40175095024887977452011-06-25T11:43:00.000+02:002011-06-25T11:43:17.930+02:00Bir-Hakeim métro station<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zkr7iZN5Xiw/TgWtj8Nz-1I/AAAAAAAAHC4/JZnwIZsfq_g/s1600/Paris25juin11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zkr7iZN5Xiw/TgWtj8Nz-1I/AAAAAAAAHC4/JZnwIZsfq_g/s640/Paris25juin11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

Le Grand Palais is an exhibition center near the Champs Elysée and this entrance is the one for the Nave which is a giant place where big exhibitions or shows take place. Among the exhibition there is one called "Monumenta" when each year an artist is invited to use the huge nave for his art. I will show you tomorrow what absolutely must see exhibition we have this year.Laurenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218155767838736240.post-27861056877052846582011-06-11T01:00:00.000+02:002011-06-11T01:00:00.103+02:00One last view from la Défense<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sev-eRdYAIs/TfDxFa7lr0I/AAAAAAAAHBY/xiXC48Ca6GA/s1600/Paris10juin11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sev-eRdYAIs/TfDxFa7lr0I/AAAAAAAAHBY/xiXC48Ca6GA/s640/Paris10juin11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Yesterday I showed the Grande Arche and told you about the "Axe historique". Here is the view from the Grande Arche of this "Axe Historique". The line in the center leads to the Arc of Triumph that you can see in the very far background. I hope you liked this week of La Défense. See you tomorrow in "old" Paris.Laurenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218155767838736240.post-4600202769229293192011-06-10T01:00:00.002+02:002011-06-10T01:00:05.652+02:00La Grande Arche<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-130xSPhyDe8/TfDvQgjFbRI/AAAAAAAAHBQ/5-XI7JdpaBw/s1600/Paris11juin11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-130xSPhyDe8/TfDvQgjFbRI/AAAAAAAAHBQ/5-XI7JdpaBw/s640/Paris11juin11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
I cannot post about La Defense without showing you the area's masterpiece : The Big Arch. This building is almost a perfect cube. It was built in 1989 to celebrate the bicentennial of the French revolution.It completes the line of monuments that forms the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_historique">Axe historique</a>" running through Paris from the Arc de Triomphe du Carroussel in the Louvre through the Arc de Triomphe on top of the Champs Elysées.Laurenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218155767838736240.post-65401303482782811882011-06-09T07:48:00.000+02:002011-06-09T07:48:57.240+02:00Les Quatres Temps : shopping and art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3QJyqZajbQ/TfBdfGog5WI/AAAAAAAAHBI/j-nlWmyKeLw/s1600/Paris09juin11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3QJyqZajbQ/TfBdfGog5WI/AAAAAAAAHBI/j-nlWmyKeLw/s640/Paris09juin11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Starman, you were right yesterday, I should talk about "les Quatres Temps" when posting about La Défense. So here is the main entrance of "<a href="http://www.les4temps.com/W/do/centre/accueil">Les Quatres Temps</a>" which is a giant mall, certainly the biggest around Paris. As I told you Tuesday, you have again here a proof of the art area with this nice Miro sculpture.Laurenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.com7Hauts-de-Seine, France48.891758 2.238448000000062248.780952500000005 2.142828500000062 49.0025635 2.3340675000000624tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218155767838736240.post-52135358267351505272011-06-08T07:50:00.000+02:002011-06-08T07:50:12.853+02:00A New York look in Paris<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F283Cez2xmw/Te8NPb68myI/AAAAAAAAHBA/GogsQwmAVAA/s1600/Paris08juin11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F283Cez2xmw/Te8NPb68myI/AAAAAAAAHBA/GogsQwmAVAA/s640/Paris08juin11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
It is forbidden by law to built tall buildings inside Paris city limits so they're built outside like here in La Défense where we're still today.Laurenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218155767838736240.post-81636941711233780362011-06-07T01:00:00.001+02:002011-06-07T01:00:00.611+02:00Art in La Défense<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q2mOEJ0XNdA/Te070rW8KcI/AAAAAAAAHA4/c5K63mKBnGs/s1600/Paris07juin11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q2mOEJ0XNdA/Te070rW8KcI/AAAAAAAAHA4/c5K63mKBnGs/s640/Paris07juin11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The financial district of La Défense offers a lot of modern art like here in this water pond called "le bassin <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takis">Takis</a>". The area of la Défense holds more than 60 pieces of modern art making it one of the biggest open air modern art museum in the world.<br />
If you click on the picture you can see the Arc of Triumph at the bottom of the Champs Elysées in the far away background right in the center.Laurenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218155767838736240.post-15572053559803253352011-06-06T08:28:00.000+02:002011-06-06T08:28:36.606+02:00A different Paris<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pn8-xz9eT2E/TexyznY4SaI/AAAAAAAAHAw/FUa7kfQCN_0/s1600/Paris06juin11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pn8-xz9eT2E/TexyznY4SaI/AAAAAAAAHAw/FUa7kfQCN_0/s640/Paris06juin11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />
This is not a photomontage of Paris metro sign and New York view but a photo of Paris financial area called "La Défense". It is located outside Paris city limits but it's considered as our "American like downtown". It's been quite a long time since I've been there and I took some nice views I will share with you.Laurenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.com4
