Snow Day in Paris

 

On February 7th, Paris was covered in snow. I hadn't seen such a sight in yeeeears!!!

I had been waiting for it though. All the previous years, I had my camera ready in case I had to get up extra early on a winter morning if snow had fell during the night. But no. I had to wait for 2018.

 

 

 

I have to say I let my guard down. The roofs looked like this from our windows and yet I hadn't thought there would be snow in the streets for some reason. I realized it when we went grocery shopping. I'm not so bright. 

I loathe grocery shopping, but this time, besides filling the fridge, it helped forming the idea that we would go on a snowy walk afterwards.

 

So much snow!!!

 

Good thing I had bought these shoes the week before to bring to Chicago with me.

Well, we didn't have much snow in Chicago (just a little flurry on the last night), so I'm glad Paris was just a winter wonderland for one day.

 

Our street.

Well, this post turned into quite a photo dump but I was so excited to see snow, I shot a little over a roll.

Little Blogger

 

Greg started his own blog (Coco Pop by Lekrass) a few months ago.

Lately he has been into interviewing the good people of Paris :p

He started with Gérard, a man who's been working at the newspapers stand by our place for years and years.  

It's really fun and interesting to hear what people have to say about their line of work and life in general, to know a little more about their stories. It seems that whoever you talk to has at least one thing incredible to tell you about themselves.

 

You can find Gérard's article here, here, here and here. 

It's all in french though, but it's gooood!

 

 

After playing paparazzo with Greg (he didn't know I was taking the pictures), I went on a little walk in the neighborhood and snapped a couple of pictures while running some errands. 

On the way Back from Work

Remember when I wasn't jobless? Yay, me neither...

Actually I had a job about a month ago and I took these pictures on the way back home one night. Paris is so beautiful, every little street you take has its own incredible spots and they always lead you somewhere beautiful.

This is a little hairdresser shop in the Rue du Temple I passed by everyday on my 15mn walk to work. I loved the cloud lights which got taken down a couple of days after I took this picture. 

Rue du Temple.

Rue Réaumur.

Place de la République.

Paris By Day

After our crazy adventure of roaming the Paris streets at night, Estelle spent the night at our place. We had planned to go out again, this time durng the day, and spend the afternoon taking pictures yet again.

Lunch at Republique.

Here we go!

We ended up doing the same tour as we did the night before. As I previously said, those are my favorite spots in Paris.

I was really excited when I took this picture, I thought it would look awesome and it's actually really meh. Worse, it's bad! It's over exposed.

It was such a beautiful day, so sunny, very cold and windy though but that doesn't show in pictures, good!

I could spend my time taking pictures of buildings. Imagining how people live their lives in those beautiful places.

Another beautiful day in Paris doing something I like with a person I love.
