It Had to be You, they sang, and a chanteuse of days gone by did a slow dance. The music and words reverberated off the D’Orsay Museum up several stairs, and several yards in front of them. Yes, it had to be you, Paris. Memories for me of years gone by, and here I was again. Wandering the streets is always my favorite way to soak up a city, getting a flavor of what it’s all about, to get a feeling of the place wherever it may be, the people, the life. Museums and venues are all wonderful to see works of art, but I find that the streets are works of art unto themselves. Let me take you there, to the museum of the streets of Paris as I wind up this series. Let’s stroll together for a little while.
And just like that, it was time to leave all this behind once again. Days of immersing myself into the history and mystery of Paris.
The Sunday Traveler is heading out into a new adventure this coming week and will take a break here for a couple of weeks. Until then.

Thank you for this wonderful promenade to some of my favorite places. Ones that I have not visited in years. And yes, I would love some marrons chauds. I can feel their heat in my hands as I hold them and the delliciousness of their taste!

I’m with you, Angeline. No matter the city and country, I so enjoy just taking a walk around the town or village. It’s the only way I know to get a feel for the pulse of that community.

It’s the best way to meet people too I’ve found; a smile, a hello and a lot of times you have a new friend. Have a delicious week, John.

Thanks so much, Allan. I tweaked light and contrast very little in edits, it was a late, rainy afternoon that made light magical. See you back here in a couple of weeks.

Funny how Paris is always so beautiful and romantic when seen through a foreigner’s eyes… and how it looks so mundane when you live and work there in spite of its timeless beauty… 😉

I can’t even begin to imagine that. I think photographers have a thing where nothing is ever seen as mundane.
