Old floor tiles at Le Blainville, 183 Rue St Denis, 75002. A fun little brasserie whose lunch menu has only 3 choices; fish, meat, or pasta of the day & they all are good, plus house wine.

Roller Shutters of Paris presents some interesting roller shutters demonstrating the range of approaches in painting & marking seen on the streets of Paris. I really like the triple shutter approach to the business facade.

The small vineyard, Clos Montmartre, in the 18th. They produce the only Parisian wine, yielding about 1500 1/2 liter bottles per year. More notable for the unique city location and 18th city hall basement winery than the quality.

Did you know? Paris provides free sparkling water for everyone. We fill up multiple bottles every week at our local fountain, it is just around the corner. There are 17 dispensing stations across Paris, see the blue dots on the map.

Roller Shutters of Paris visits Weber Métaux, 1 bis Rue Omer Talon, 75011. Why have a catalog when you can list all your products on your roller shutter?

Thursday morning at 1°C/33°F, but a little chill in the air doesn't stop Parisians from gathering in 3rd spaces & enjoying morning coffee outside with their friends. Cities are for people.

A Sunday brocante (flea market) in my neighborhood. Brocantes & vide greniers (garage sales) are scheduled each week all over Paris. Cars are removed & streets are closed. The updated schedule can be found here: www.paris.fr/pages/brocan...

Bikes lined up before a morning ride at the Le Peloton Café, 17 Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe, 75004. The café is a local starting spot for many biking club group rides.
