  • La Favorite Saint-Paul

    Marais, Paris. Rainy day in October.

     

  • Lamarck

    Montmartre, Paris. Sunny morning in October.
    Have you ever seen “The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain”? No? You definitely should. This is the metro station, Amélie guides the blind man to.

     

  • Little café at the corner

    Paris, sunny day in October.

     

  • Jena is everywhere

    Jena is everywhere. In this case the Iéna metro station underneath Place d’Iéna, which divides the Avenue d’Iéna, which leads down to Pont d’Iéna at the foot of the Eiffel tower. Paris, exactly.
    Why did they name it that way? Napoleon, battle, 1806. Check your history book.

     

    (but the real Jena metro is a restroom underneath the fountain on Jenas market place. 😉)

     

  • Morning sun

    Early morning street scene in Paris. A group of kids on their way to the Louvre.

    Recently I have been on a short trip to Paris. Always such a great city to stay in. As a tech nerd, the first highlight on a trip to Paris is the 320 km/h high speed train ride from Germany. (ICE to Paris, TGV Duplex from Paris. Highspeed travel in the upper deck. Another tick off my bucket list.)
