After a year of streets full of people, boiling with cars and loud music, no word could express how I had longed for calm and fresh air. Switzerland (Suisse) is my long awaited oasis.

Live from Paris, for another day before we head to Switzerland.. Here is my take on the weekly photo challenge on Wall (mur): First time I saw a bike embed into a Parisian wall, with the logo Ride In Peace, I thought it was a little memorial for an unlucky rider.

I came across a little gem in Fontainebleau. One of those treasure chests dressed like a little shop.. Its mere display was already intriguing enough. The reflection of the church on its window had turned the ballerinas into angels. The beautiful little statues were dancing in the air. From any angle you would stand, the illusion was perfect: the shop was inhabited by angels. I had to … Continue reading The French word of the day : curiosités
