Paris, 9me and 18me arrondissement The snow has the magic power to bring a smile, surprise, emotions. Last Saturday it was a gift. Just few hours, enough to get out and experience my special places with a white, soft carpet. Smile, it is snowing in Paris. Pictures: Fujifilm X-Pro3 – 35mm f1.4

Élégance
Et quand il fait moins trois, il fait froid L’élégance n’a d’importance que si l’on y pense C’est en passant devant la glace Qu’il s’aperçoit (Francis Cabrel, Sanseverino) Picture: Fujifilm x-Pro3 – 35mm f1.4

2020: a year in Paris in 12 pictures. Around me
What a year! We will remember it: for the health concerns, for the lockdown, for the empty streets, for the home working, for the masks, for the change of habits, behaviours, care. For the sacrifices. But mainly because it forced us to focus on the essential, on what it really matters to us. Paris stillContinue reading “2020: a year in Paris in 12 pictures. Around me”
Still closed
Unimaginable: a city like Paris, which makes of café, bar, bistro and restaurants one of its main identities, doesn’t seem to see light of opening. Still closed. Picture: Fujifilm X-Pro3 – Minolta Rokkor 50mm f.1.7
Line them up
I like the home atmosphere waiting for Christmas. Today marks a new form of lockdown, with curfew at 20:00. Paris should be empty, now, but home is warm alternative to any outdoor city location. Picture: Konica Hexar AF – Ilford XP2
Unexpected moments
‘Le Passages couverts de Paris’ always offer a dimension of surprise. Not only during Christmas time. The light, the windows, the decorations, the details always give passants an unexpected moment on their way. Picture: Fuji X-Pro3 – 35mm F/1.4

Up there
Lockdown and homework bring new opportunities. An early morning walk up to Sacre-Coeur helps you breathing fresh air, find inspiration for your day, move your body. The quiet of this place at that particular hour is regenerating. I have done it several times over the last few weeks. Up there you see things from distance,Continue reading “Up there”
To let things go
Lockdown 2.0 is limiting us, particularly in space. But still it is a fascinating season, bringing new colours. And I am sure many of us can find some of those colours in the 1hour max / 1km distance and experience how the heat of autumn is so special. “Autumn shows us how beautiful it isContinue reading “To let things go”
