La Nouvelle Athènes 3

We are still in the Nouvelle Athénes area today and more precisely in a place called "Square d'Orléans". This big private courtyard has a great charm and holds very pretty buildings where as you can see on the little pictures, Frédéric Chopin and Georges Sand lived for a few years. It's a place easy to miss as you must enter through a door located at number 80 of the rue Taibout and it's often closed as it is private. I was lucky to find the door open so I can share this with you. 

The photographer on the Place de la Concorde

If you've ever been in Paris you know what a photographer's dream is the Place de la Concorde. 

Theme day : Fountains

For the month theme I present to you the Place des Voges fountain at dawn. This square is absolutely a must see in Paris. Full of historical houses and a real "bonheur pour les yeux" as we say in French.

She's back !

The giant wheel on the Place de la Concorde is back for the holiday period and so is the Christmas market on the Champs Elysées. I saw the wheel yesterday night for the first time this year and wanted to share it with with this picture mixing the Concorde Obelisk and the wheel. I will certainly have the opportunity to show you more since it's only the beginning of the period. Have a great Sunday (which will be a rain day in Paris) !

Late blog day : the Tenin Technique

I missed the CDP blog day last thursday but I still wanted to pay tribute to Eric Tenin and celebrate its blog's 5th anniversary : Paris Daily Photo . It is thanks to him that we today share our pitcures and comments so here is a picture of the Place de la Concorde taken with the so called "Tenin Technique".
