taken on my last night in paris...





:(

amelie

woke up early one morning here in paris and decided to watch "amelie" again. and then i tried going to some of the places she went to....

"the two windmills" restaurant where she worked :)


the metro stop where she first saw the blind guy with the phonograph


she walked down these steps from the sacre coeur


this is carousel where she asks nino to meet her (but there aren't any public phones here anymore)


hihi :D

mardi

strolled around canal st. martin today... loved all the street art, and the artsy shops around :)




then made my way to the famous cemetery to pay my respects to the rock gods. haha. here is jim morrisson's tomb :)


then waited at the opera steps to meet with a friend for my best dinner ever - duck!!!

pompidou!

you were right, i would love it here! highlight of my day :)

sat out here eating a crepe avec nutella (hihi)...



saw the "elles@centrepompidou" exhibit, a contemporary collection of work by women artists, about 350 works by some 150 artists


going up to see the rest of the museum's modern collection


outside the pompidou at the igor stravinsky plaza :)

dimanche

on the first "dimanche" (sunday) of every month, all museums are free! so i decided to head to the louvre today. as soon as i walked into this corridor, i wanted to cry :) what a beautiful place, much more than i had imagined it would be.


sunday afternoon was spent at the international shoe fashion and accessory tradeshow at the porte de versaille! (my friend got us passes :) )

look at their clever ceiling design at the reception area... (yes, its on the ceiling, upside down)


people watching outside...


outside the swimwear fashion show was this alice in wonderland like place to promote their rainforest project (buying a bikini helps save the rain forest. daw.)


sunday night was capped with a walk in the sacre coeur area. this was the view outside the church's steps, where we sat and watched street performers over beers :)

bonjour!

today begins my (hopefully) daily snapshots from paris :)

tour eiffel, enfin :) (finally :))
