Contemplating the classic columns you might think … No – it’s not Athens – it’s the church La Madeleine in Paris!
We made a spontaneous trip to Paris to greet the New Year 2018. New Year’s Day morning on Place de la Concorde:
Well, now it’s mid of summer … but I just noticed some photos on Instagram of a rainy Paris! (Although it’s summer at more than 30° C in Southern France & Northern Spain Central Europe seems to experience some lower temperatures & rain …) So I decided to update this post on a short trip to Paris.
On New Year’s Eve there was blue sky – unfortunately clouding over during the next hours until it started raining. Nevertheless some impressions of the quarter around La Madeleine.
… when our energy ran out while roaming the boulevards there were lots of cafés, brasseries …
The church La Madeleine (of course under renovation) …
… and its splendour inside!
A view from La Madeleine towards La Place de la Concorde …
Some details of the boulevards …
… and finally some delicacies …
… also some savory delights…
