First thing we saw exiting the metro station "OPERA", we saw this. So beautiful.
Standing at Montmartre with this nice weather, it is really relaxed. There you could come across with a lot of performing artists. Of course they are all performing to earn some money, but some of them are really good.
Montmartre, Sacre-Coeur
Metro: Anvers
Almost mid-night at Arc de Triomphe, everywhere we went there were a lot of people.
Metro: Charles des Gaulle Étoile – Av d’léna
Initially we planned to go upstairs by foot, but in the end, we did not even go up, because the long long queues… Btw, there was something that kept drawing my attention. And that were the "Gendameries", they are so muscular and strong. They are not at all like the Dutch policemen (with big bellies).
Metro: Champ de Mars
At a Sunday morning, there was nothing better than go to the open-market in Paris. Here we could find a lot of pre-process food like grilled chicken, paella,..etc. Besides that, there were sea food stalls all over the market.
Le Marché 11e du dimanche
Metro: Brequet Sabin – Bd Richard Lenoir
Where ever we went, we kept running into street artists and beggars. At a certain moment we felt a bit annoyed by some of the performing beggars. Especially in the metro playing very loud music with their instruments, mics, sound boxes…etc.
Pombidou
Metro: Randuteau
This time we have not been to any museums except for this one: "Musée d’art moderne de la ville de Paris". In the underground’s corridors to the metro, there are a lot of billboards, but especially one of those billboards drawed Spawn attention, because it mentioned a very famous name in the world of photography "Henri Cartier-Bresson"
One of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s notes displayed in the museum:
Le raportage est une opération progressive de la tête, de l’oeil et du coeur pour exprimer un problem, fixer un événement ou des expressions. Un événement est tellement riche qu’on tourne autour pendant qu’il se developpe. On en cherche la solution. On la trouve parfois en quelques secondes, parfois elle demande des heures ou des jours; il y a pas de solution standard; pas des recette, il faut être prêt comme au tennis.
