Almost totally unknown and ignored by Parisians, the Chinese new year (which should technically be referred to as the Chinese calendar new year, since other Asian countries also celebrate it) is now widely celebrated throughout the streets of Paris! The celebration even lasts for a week and includes much more than just a parade. Today (Sunday) there will be two hot spots for Chinese fans: the 13th arrondissement (which is the original Chinese quarter) and Belleville. I took this photo last Sunday, when they had their first parade, in Le Marais (the blue building on the left is the Pompidou Center).
Wow, those colors are amazing! That's a great shot, Eric!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo! Just zooms your eye down the line of color.
ReplyDeleteOh good, thanks for the heads-up, Eric. I'm going shopping at Tang Frères. Will bring a camera.
ReplyDeletePretty in pink!
ReplyDeleteI miss celebrating Chinese New Year! I lived in Taipei, Taiwan a few years ago and the celebrations were great (and the food!).
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot -- Almost looks like you we're marching with them! Were you wearing pink, Eric??
