Those last two are outstanding. And the 1st one in #182 is absolutely beautiful.

Nice pics, and some good places to eat.

I just scrolled through all seven pages to make sure I wasn't posting the same scenes over and over again.

It's always surprising to see shops like that droguerie still surviving in a big city, especially if it's near rue du Bac.

Still one of my most favorite threads!

Your photos would make a wonderful 'coffee table' book Kerouac. Some of the scenes ( many really) would make fantastic posters. This is truly a wonderful thread!

I'm wondering about the small building in the last photo.

I recognize that building, I too found it interesting. From time to time in Paris one sees older buildings with that distinctive style of plasterwork on the exterior. There must be a name for it. It's near the top of Pere Lachaise on the North side. It appears to be a small apartment building. When I saw it in this thread, I was surprised because this isn't a neighborhood in Paris one often sees in K's reports.

I should mention that the great majority of my photos come from the 10th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th and 20th arrondissements because those are the closest to where I live. I also spend quite a bit of time in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd arrondissements.
What is generally missing from my photos is most of the left bank, 13th arrondissement excluded.

Perhaps you need to make a trip across the river so you can take more nice photos..

The plasterwork of fake logs is reminiscent of similar stuff done in reinforced concrete in fencing in the parc des Buttes Chaumont, comme ca

There is a lot of 'fake wood' in Père Lachaise, too, dating from the same period. Since that building was built as a day care centre for the children of Père Lachaise employees, it was probably normal to carry over the same style.

I cannot make out the name of the street which shows the metal stabilizers holding the brickwork in place. I know about these rods of steel as I have an old house which necessitates them...not the one I live in. I do think the church , which I suspect is Saint-Trinite` on Place d'Estienne d'Orves, looks very commanding in your photo Kerouac.

The church is Notre Dame de la Croix de Ménilmontant in the 20th.
The street name that you can't make out is rue Jean Moinon in the 10th.

Thanks for the correction. I like to know the local most of the time. It looks like a beautiful church and maybe worth a sniff around.
