Classic View


It's like summer in Paris at the moment; evenings are hot, everybody is out and so are the tourists... In fact, I'm just back from a delightful dinner with my father and on the way back home, I could not help but stopping at the Passerelle Debilly and taking this photo. I love this place. You must go there at night if you come to Paris!

  3. Taking a break and decided to stop by PDP. Whoa! I feel like I'm there with this photo. Nice "Tenin angle." ;-) I see you've not lost your touch. We have had rain all day in the Middlewest--we'll take it any day over the twisters lately dotting the landscape! Well, back to the research grind. Merci for this slice of Parisian heaven all aglow.

  9. The photo is stunning or is it this very instant? Sure both.
    As much as the photo, your caption really moved me. Enjoy your father as you do ; as you know, many people are not in a good shape in their 80s. I'd be proud of reading that one my children or any of my friends spent a delightful moment with me, in my 80s...
    Thank you for sharing this slice of life and let me tell you that this passerelle has really something in your photos ;)

  10. Very pretty.

    I don't have the Tour Eiffel, but I did see the Pope on Sunday.

    Ciao

  11. NOW you tell me. :~} We did see the ET at night from the Trocadero on our recent visit, but next time I'm going to lie down on this bridge—just like you!

  12. I'll have a Tenin-double-shot-of-The Eiffel Tower-with-a- twist-of-evening-sparkle-on-top, thank you...

  13. Breathtaking, Gorgeous, Amazing. Wow. LOVE it! :) What is better than the Eiffel Tower at night? This is such a fun picture! I'm glad you had a good night and shared it with us on the way home. Btw, what is the Passerelle Debilly? Something new to check out. (Love the Tenin Perspective too--it makes the photo great.)

    LOL Martin!

  14. Martin is quite funny but as the line goes.... "I'll have what he's having!"

    I am sure that by now your dad knows about the Tenin Perspective and probably joined you prone on the passerelle. Beautiful shot and so glad that you had the time with your dad!

    Bises,

    Could you please tell me: what are your terms of use? IF I wanted to post this on my blog and link back to you, can I do that? Merci beaucoup! Trishia from FrenchKissed postcards
