Paris on ice...


I went to the Bazar de l'hôtel de ville (a department store famous for its hardware department!) yesterday and I passed by the ice rink they install every year in the front of the nearby town hall. I then realized I did not show it to you this year. So here it is, with a nice sun effect (I took it around 4 pm) and a bit of Notre Dame in the background. Hurry if you want to ice skate in Paris, it'll remain there until March 3 only ;-)

  1. It looks like a fun time and has a nice pop of red in the picture. The sun's angle also adds an artistic touch to the photo.

    Is there a hot chocolate booth nearby for the skaters?

  2. Great photo. I feel like picking up the old hockey stick and putting a wrist shot into the second stair of the front entrance of l'Hotel de Ville.

    Parfait!

  8. @Anne "Is there a hot chocolate booth nearby for the skaters?" Of course! Well actually a crèpes and gauffres booth!

    @Quantum Satis "mon rêve, go skating in Paris......" Well... quit dreaming and come here!

    @Alexa "(Must not have been too cold, since this guy is skating sans jacket.)" Actually it was pretty cold yes! But earlier in the season (I think December) it was too warm outside and the ice would melt!

    @Virginia "I"m a lover not a skater " This reminds me of a song LOL
