A walk through Paris for Bastille Day

OK these 25 pictures were actually made during the first leg of our month in France, or late spring; but after a month of shooting every day all I can say is I have a virtual mountain of images.. so here's a collection taken from several walks, trips on one Sunday in Paris (which is what this post would have been called had I completed it last week). From the backstreets of Dupleix when I head out for croissants to a location scout at Champ de Mars - for that 'perfect' Tour Eiffel shot.. and meet a green grocer with the best looking punnets of wild berries I have ever seen. Later Viv and I headed over to Invalides then Musée Rodin and back to the hotel via Pont Alexandre III - where we did a fashion shoot; it was the most crowded Vivienne had ever seen it. Of course if you are anywhere actually near that big iron tower you will see a lot of souvenir sellers and I have kept it down to just two pictures at Bir-Hakeim metro, for now. Regardless of a day of exertion we headed out again; down Boulevard de Grenelle to La Cantine du Troquet Dupleix for a fantastic diner. So stay tuned for that, it's coming as a separate post soon. So happy Bastille Day to one and all, I hope you enjoy my pictures from one day in Paris!

If You're Going to the Cité - Try Free Association..

A collection of shots from Paris taken on June 26 2017, assembled as they were taken, by free association. Beginning with two young women sitting on a ledge overlooking that long queue to see Notre-Dame. The photo essay ending with two young women straddling the railing of Pont Alexandre III. (I photographed a similar setting in Lyon). Seems to be a bit of a theme. And plenty of street style along the way, maybe a couple of Aussies, can you spot the RM Williams boots!  Enjoy; more Paris and France yet to come. You can also view the pictures much larger on our Facebook page here.
