Églises Interior - Saint-Sulpice


The second-largest church in Paris (after Notre-Dame), Saint-Sulpice is a sight to behold. The pulpit, which can be seen here is particularly impressive, though the ceiling as seen above is amazing in its own right.

Les Cafés - Les Deux Magots


One of the most famous cafés in all of Paris, Les Deux Magots, was once the meeting place of the literary and cultural élite of the city. Famous people known to have frequented Les Deux Magots include Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ernest Hemingway, Albert Camus, and Pablo Picasso. The café got it's name from the novelty store that originally occupied the same storefront.

Another group of manifestants takes to the streets as Parisians (and tourists) look on. This one near the Gare du Luxembourg RER station.

Manifestants - Pour Les Enfants


The photographs for this week were all taken on March 28, 2011.  Everywhere we went that day we saw groups of manifestants marching in the streets. Yet when I Google "March 28, 2011 Paris" this is what I get: http://www.disneydreaming.com/2011/03/29/justin-bieber-leaves-his-hotel-in-paris-france-march-28-2011. Maybe that's what all the protests were about :)

Manifestants - Pour L'éducation


I love the French language. It has words for things like "playing easily in the deep" (approfondement) and the word for protester is Manifestant: One Who Manifests. As if effecting change is not only possible, but simply a matter of time.

A row of bikes chained up on a Paris street, as a protest march goes by.
(Check back next week to see more photos of the protest.)
