Near my home there's a small walk across Seine...
...where you pass people farming in their small gardens on the sloping banks of the Tramway 2 against a silhoutte of La défense.
Montmartre in Summer heat.
A view like this makes my day, that's for sure.
Musée Zadkine is inagurated in the sculptor's actual home.
Some of his work is situated in the small but cosy garden.
I was lucky - the museum threw a temporary exhibition with Wang Keping!
This little Paris pearl is le musée de la vie romantique...
...currently throwing a nice little Chopin-exhibition.
Such a sunny Sunday as today the Parisian parcs where crowded.
After more than a year on French soil I have finally given in...
...and learned to like Parisian sundays when everything is closed except for churches, markets and museums
This Sunday I took a stroll around Place Monge and its market.
A weekend in Provence: In the small village called Cabrières-d'Avignon
Of course there was an old castle ruin in the village
Idyllic village well
I have decided to dedicate some space on the blog to Parisian buildings that I find interesting...
...both nice looking ones as well as the really ugly.
Big office and housing building near Porte d'Ivry.
Desolé les bleus...
...what a setting in Trocadero last week when France played their first match in the World Cup. Who could have known that this was going to be the team's best result in this World Cup (0-0) where the blue team scored a total of 1 goal??
Fête de la musique means a day of massive crowds on the streets of Paris...
...listening to all sorts of bands. I took refuge in the hôtel yard of the Swedish Institute in Marais where Anna von Hausswolff threw a great concert. The photo is somewhat blurry since I only had my French phone with me, but you can still make out the contours of the Midsummer staff in the middle.
Ok,
I have finally relaunched vie.paris where I once again will share some pictures from my life with you guys. I've updated the music player where you can enjoy tourist glimspes of this lovely city as well as a karaoke version of La Marseillaise that you can play from your sofa at home whenever you feel a sudden urge for everything French :)
Château de Fontainebleau...
...in the chic Napoléon town with the same name is where the emperor (numéro ono) spent the last years of his life in exile. It is the largest of the French castles (which definately means huge).
The day in Fontainebleau finished with a walk in the neighboring forest...
...where I saw some funny rocks.
...a man in the woods.
(Also from the forest surrounding Fontainebleau).
Daytrip to Fontainebleau and its grand castle!
