Oops, was yesterday Wednesday? I forgot to post my weekly set of photos. I guess spending 5 hours at Ikea trying to plan a new kitchen can mess with a guy’s sense of time. Another example of pesky reality getting in the way of creativity…
This week’s gallery is infused with a few food recommendations so get your Paris notebooks ready!
Thanks everybody for stopping by. You can find the previous “How I Saw Paris” installment here. Happy Paris dreaming and I’ll see you for the next one! I’m off to grab a donut…
thank you for the amazing pictures of Paris. Im going to that cafe next time I visit. again thank you for such beautiful pictures.
Your very welcome! I love sharing this city with people so thanks for stopping by! Have a great day.
you too xxx
I often wonder who the people are living behind these doors.
There should be a law that one day per year you’re allowed to live in someone else’s home. :-) I’m sure the French would be thrilled with that…
oh I would love that. We even sat in a cafe in Paris and wondered who was living in the apartment we were looking at from our seats. We pretended it was ours :)
It’s great when one can see the magic in the mundane – Thanks Corey
Thanks Bonnie, I think that’s exactly what great artists do so well. I enjoy striving to that standard! Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. Take care.
Lovely, lovely pictures of Paris. I liked the photography style! 👍🏻
Thank you have Angelina, that’s nice to hear. I’m happy to have you as a follower!
Sure thing. I can not wait to see what else you come up with. You have a wonderful artistic eye.
Another great snippet of our beautiful Paris…must try that Anticafe on my next visit….and NEXT visit we shall meet!!…no crossed wires!!
Fabulous photos once again…thank you
Yes next time we’ll have to get a bit more serious about meeting up. :-)
Hi Corey!
I love this week’s blog and photos! I am so looking forward to meeting you next week for the tours of Paris with my parents! I am an amateur photographer as well (Instagram: @yogabelette, currently featuring photos of my dog Charley #travelswithCharley, during this 9 month trip we have been on), and am excited to add some awesome Paris shots to my collection! Also psyched for restaurant and café recs, etc!
See you next week!
Yes photography is certainly encouraged on my tours. :-) Is your trip really 9 months? Holy cow – can’t wait to hear about the adventure! See you on Thursday.
I lived in Paris (16th) from October 1968 until February 1971. Loved, loved, loved every minute of it. Your photographs are works of art in themselves and very, very nostalgic for me.

Oh I am so pleased to hear that Diane. I’m a very nostalgic person and I think Paris is made for dreamers like us. :-) I’m so happy to know there is a receptive audience on the other end of these blog posts, thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
Thank you for these beautiful photos. Just love them. You capture the essence
Thank you for these beautiful photos. You get to the heart.
Gorgeous. Your pictures make my heart happy. Two friends are going to Paris in a few weeks and asked me for restaurant recommendations. I’m going to add Aux Vieux Paris d’Arcole to the list (and to mine for next November). Your picture makes it appear to be the perfect place! Thanks. Loved your first picture in your post. Paris in the fog is heartbreakingly wondrous!
I love your photos and it makes me so happy to look at them. I love Paris and dream of living there one day. For now, I’ll live vicariously through your photos. And thanks for the recommendations! Will make sure I hit them up next time I’m visiting.

Glimpses of Paris that are bewitching and beautiful.
The wisteria at Aux Vieux Paris d’Arcole is beautiful! Love this style of posting and your photographs! I want to give it a try :’)
Thanks a lot! It’s fun to do a weekly recap of my favorite shots. Best of luck with your projects.
Hello. excellent job. I did not expect this. This is a fantastic story. Thanks!
Thanks Jackeline, that’s nice to hear! Any time I can pleasantly surprise someone I consider the day a success. :-) Hope to see more of you on the blog!
Missed this post and actually wondered why I didn’t hear from you ….. my bad!
Lovely, lovely stuff – you really know how to tempt and draw in your readers and ‘visitors’! If I did need a guide I know who would be ‘the one’ :)
The wisteria hysteria nearly made me cry….. I am hyper-allergic AND have a large one ‘working’ as a conopy covering one of our patios but this one here, with the chairs and tables and all the colours makes the viewer sing with delight!
Your Sorbonne catch made me cry for different reasons – my all-time dream is always to be shut in a bookshop/library for a weekend (with an ample supply of red wine, saumon & nice food, but that goes without saying really…)
I also love the arcades and the lantern lights….. and I love that buggy pushing into the picture :) I have a Hero Husband who always, but really always points a finger or ellbow into my photos!
Thanks for commenting Kiki. Sorry for my late reply. Your Hero Husband doesn’t do that on purpose I hope. :-)
no, he doesn’t…. let’s say he is just a tad ´accident prone and clumsy’…. it’s something he has no control over and one does get used to it ;)
Forgot to say that the 1st pic made me immediately think of Ladro di bicicletta… or similar!!!! OUTSTANDING!
I LOVE the Centre Danse du Marais! They have about 100 different classes – mostly for adults – in every kind of dance imaginable, plus theater, voice, conditioning, etc. I’ve taken a couple of drop-in classes in classical ballet there; quite an experience! The very old-fashioned [strict] teachers were very kind to an almost-septuagenarian whose stamina/extension/ballon have diminished but who still has impeccable technique. :-) BTW there is a great restaurant in the courtyard.
I came across your Facebook page and blog last month, just before our recent trip to Paris. I fell in love with your photo of Aux Vieux Paris d’Arcole! On our last day, we ventured out to the Notre Dame. As my children and husband were perusing the souvenir shops, I ventured down a deserted street. To my surprise, I found the very restaurant in the picture you took! Thank you so much for taking photos of things most people would not. These are the things that I want to remember most about Paris…until I return someday!
Awesome, thanks for sharing that! I appreciate you following along.
Hi Corey, am I too late to post almost two years later? I just discovered you, through author Cara Black’s FB page. My husband gave me the gift of a month in Paris for a special birthday, it took me 11 months to plan, and we “lived” on Quai St. Michel from April 29 to May 29, 2017. I’m now going to go through the rest of your posts for that month, and will follow your blog and live posts forever!
Hi Susan, it’s never too late to post a comment. :-) I’m so glad you have those wonderful Paris memories. Having extended time here really changes the experience! I’m so happy to have you following along.
