paris when it drizzles

in europe one has got to be lucky with the weather, if one is traveling in winter. putting my finger on a paris map is easy peasy, a talk to the weather gods nigh to impossible. therefore i found myself driven by rain, drizzle and ice cold wind. the ride into the 16th arrondissement ran smoothly enough. turning my notes up and down, and trying to hold them straight while working the camera (you've got it), i found myself led from the rue de l'assomption onto porte d'auteuil. below you find what happened next, and what all i saw. if you feel like it, then walk along with me. here you find the chronological walk, as always.  
et c'est parti, mon kiki.

  3. Great Paris impression, the art nouveau designs are amazing and they are so 'Paris', but me too, I prefer the art deco style. It's kind of timeless and keeps feeling 'modern' and fresh.
    Now you made me longing for Paris too, xx
