I am always posting photos of the truly beautiful Vivienne Passage, or covered walk way. I think it is one of the most lovely but the other day I ventured out of my usual territory and decided to walk through three others which run one after another from the 2nd arrondissement into the 9th. They are called the Passage des Panoramas, Passage Jouffroy and Passage Verdeau. They are all very lively, full of places to eat or shops featuring art, books, toys, stamps or postcards. As usual, I stroll along dreaming of what life was like when these were first built.


I love the look of this. I’ve seen similar looking passage ways in London and Melbourne, Australia.


This pie looked really good sitting in the window of a tea shop. I think it was apricot. The crust looked unusual to what I usually see in Paris. I need to get back there and order a piece.

Many books for sale to tempt people.
