Fountain - Place St. Michel - Paris

Thursday, October 1, 2009

The plazas in Paris, or as they are known in French - "place" - are beautifully appointed, many with wonderful fountains such as this bronze dragon spouting water. But it was the early morning light creating dramatic highlights and shadows that caused me to stop, but only after I had finished my "petit dejeuner" of fresh orange juice, a warm croissant and hot chocolate on a clear morning along the Seine.

The Fountain

Sunday, October 26, 2008

Having a delightful French breakfast in Paris is always a pleasure when you can sit at an outdoor bistro. There's always something interesting to look at. This wonderful fountain was part of a huge monument at Place St. Michel on the Left Bank.
