I already
showed the dusk hour top photo on Facebook, but I have a few more…
It’s
obvious that the “Fête de la Musique”, celebrated June 21, the first day of
summer, is a great success, having started in France in 1982 and now celebrated
in some 110 countries. I have posted on it several times, sometimes about great
concerts in the Paris city centre. This year I had a good reason to go to
Montmartre and was surprised by the crowds. It was of course a perfect day –
the weather couldn’t have been better, it was a Saturday, the French team had
won their first two Soccer World Cup matches… and people were really in good
mood.
Before
going to Montmartre I took a walk in my immediate neighbourhood, including the
close-by parks.
I then took
the direction of Montmartre and found this on my way.
You often
meet crowds at Montmartre, but…

Sounds so much fun and just a perfect way to kick off the start of summer! Great photos, Peter. And I'll bet the day was tons of fun!
Bonjour cher Peter,
Le jour de la fête de la musique est une journée si particulière qu'on voudrait qu'elle puisse se prolonger dans l'année. Elle nous fait oublier les aigreurs de la vie et rassemble dans la joie la foule.
Tes photos parlent... et parlent bien.
Toutefois en ce qui me concerne j'ai toujours une petite crainte de la bousculade !
Cette année, je ne suis pas allée en ville, je me suis contentée d'un bon verre de vin au bord de la piscine et j'ai écouté de vieux airs sous un ciel étoilé...
♡ Gros bisous ♡
