A 3 Year Stint in Paris

in #photos8 years ago

Hello SteemiTravellers!

I would like to share with you the experiences I had in Paris over the three or so years I was working out there, as well as some of the images you don't see quite so often...

1. Finding an Apartment - Notoriously difficult, ridiculously small but a view that compensates for it all (7th Arrondissement, next to Musee D'Orsay, overlooking the Louvre)

3. Stairs - You get used to them...eventually.

4. Work - If you have a rooftop, it helps :) (16th Arrondissement - Trocadero)

5. Parks - A different experience every season 

  • Autumn - Tuileries Park, 7th Arrondissement

  • Winter - Tuileries Park, 7th Arrondissement

  • Spring - Jardine des Plantes, 5th Arrondissement

  • Spring - Chevreuse (Just South West of Paris)

  • Spring/Summer - Bois de Vincennes, 12th Arrrondissement

  • Summer/Autumn - Jardin de Luxembourg, 6th Arrrondissement

6. Art & Monuments - Gotta check off that bucket list...

  • Inside the Louvre

  • "That" bridge from Inception

  • Cellist at Grounds of the Louvre

  • Back of the Centre Pompidou, 1st Arrondissement

7. The Metro - Yup, pretty much sums it up.

7. Nightlife & Events - Sante :)

  • Yearly Firebreathing Event

  • Team Garmin at the TDF

  • Fete de Musique, 1st Arrondissement

  • The early signs that Les Berges du Seine is about to start, 7th Arrondissement

  • Les Berges du Seine in full swing, 7th Arrondissements

  • Gay Pride

8. A Sprinkle of Weird - One thing I enjoyed about Paris, it can be weird. Here it seems to be done properly when you see it...

  • Les Marais, 1st Arrondissement

  • An evening at Les Berges du Seine, had no idea heels were so versatile...7th Arrondissement

So that's it, I hope this gave some insight into my time here, albeit a very small snapshot.

Until the next time!
