Every corner has a cafe´ and these are the soul of Paris. That and boulangeries – bakeries – home of the baguette that feeds a nation in precisely the way that burgers don’t in the USA.<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

Every corner has a surprise – whether a curiosity shop or the narrow cobbled streets<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

Or even a sign…<\/p>\n

\"Electric<\/p>\n

But probably the thing I find most striking are the boulevards of art nouveau buildings throughout central Paris. And each has flower boxes bursting with colour from every balcony<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

Even the doorways are striking for their flair<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

And some places are just special – like this circus supplies shop in Montmartre called Bonjour Artiste<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

Which is of course just below the great church of Sacre Coeur (Sacred heart)<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

Then from the sublime to…<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

Yes it’s the 1927 copy of the Red Mill Theatre, made famous for spectacularly unclad dancers, the music of Jacques Offenbach, and more recently a film by Baz Luhrmann starring Australian Actress Nicole Kidman. Interestingly, severl of the dancers are Australian! Here is a link to the Moulin Rouge website<\/strong><\/a>, where you can read about the history of the theatre, and see video of the dancers.<\/p>\n

And at the end of the day you can relax in the garden near the Sacre Coeur.<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

This is close to where Amelie led the moped rider on a wild goose chase with the binoculars.<\/p>\n

So I’ll leave it there for today<\/p>\n

Cheers
