We’ve had a few very dreary, wet, cold days in Paris. It was the kind of weather that makes you just want to stay inside and read. When I looked out the window and finally saw some blue sky, I couldn’t wait to get out and take a much needed walk. I was in the Left Bank area around the St Germain des Pres neighborhood.

I know this looks like a water pipe has broken underground and pushed the sidewalk up but it is actually a fountain/sculpture right across the street from the St Germain des Pres church.

 Here is a view of the church from across the street

 If you head in the opposite direction towards St Sulpice Church there are many little narrow streets. One that I like is Rue des Cannettes. This lady is on the front of a very girly store selling jewelry.

This bike was on the same street. I took the photo because I like the light shining on the wet street. It rained the night before.
