I just saw this thread for the first time, Lynn, here's a hidden selfie of me and some other oddities in a Paris window front on the Champs-Elysees in 2007

And the more traditional Eiffel Tower at night, again in 2007

I don’t think I have posted this before here. Paris trip after leaving school in July 84. Not art but a bit of entertainment history. Canon AT-1, 50mm f:1.8 FP4. Little did I know I would end up living here (Paris, not the Moulin Rouge).

Belleville?

Belleville?

Shamefully, I don't remember which Parisian suburb this was. It was a relatively poor area. There was a park, and this photo was immediately adjacent to the previous one. Maybe someone will recognise it?



EDIT:
My apologies: @WoodallP, you were exactly right! Viewpoint and arena are both marked on Google maps.

I remember these people chatting away happily in the Rue Mouffetard market on my last day in Paris in 2007. I could only understand a fraction of their French, but I thought it was so lovely to hear I was tearful with regret to be leaving.
