Risographs by Juliette Nicot, back from the frame shop. These pieces capture the beauty of the Parisian subburbs (la banlieue). We framed them as a group & I love the vibrancy & interplay of color. Merci Louise.

The school day ends, safety begins; Paris has a layered approach to protect children; wide sidewalks in front, protective metal barriers along the street, bollards, crossing guards, well marked & restricted school traffic zones.

This space reminds me of the Mosaic district in Fairfax County Virginia, it became the model for many mixed used developments across the country. People are desperate for a sense of interaction and a common space for gathering in their community.

Friends gather for a morning coffee at the start of the day all over Paris at cafés, coffee shops, & brasseries. The terrace is the "3rd space" aka public meeting spot of Parisians, every group has a favorite spot, city is community.

Here is my neighborhood (I'm in the middle) and Google maps is even missing quite a few of the bakeries. Easily 20+ in a 10 minute walk. Our neighborhood is our food pantry; we have vendors for pastries, butchers, fruits, vegetables, cheese, wine, seafood, coffee, teas, spices, etc - everything.

I am told that this was the inspiration for the spectacular Chanel show celebrating Matthieu Blazy's début.

Don't worry, absolutely no signs of snow on Sunday morning. It only lasted a few minutes Saturday before melting.

I finally attended an Opera at Palais Garnier; The Marriage of Figaro. The famous Marc Chagall ceiling is spectacular. No phones allowed during the performance.
