Another little alley...


When you walk along the large Boulevards de Clichy, de Rochechouart… on the lower, southern borders of Montmartre (or elsewhere), you are sometimes lucky to be able to push a gate which opens, or find someone who lets you in. Here is an example. I don’t give the exact address as people who live here mostly want to be left in peace.

These little alleys, previously often occupied by workshops, are now sometimes occupied by some artists, architects… but mostly just by people who have chosen to live in a busy area, but still in a complete calm.


It’s always striking to see how these people are fond of plants… and bikes!


Here is another little alley. When you look up….

Bonjour cher Peter,

Je suis heureuse de découvrir ces magnifiques photos parisiennes. Le petit appartement que je fais rénover en ce moment ce situe avenue Rochechouart... J'espère bien que nous allons bientôt nous voir.

Gros bisous ♡

I love how people can find that calm, that bit of green, that quiet, even in a busy spot. Thanks for a step beyond the looking glass and into the "secret" world of Paris!

These narrow alleys are one of the things I like best about Paris!
Glad to see your Google problems are sorted for the time being, by the way!
