COME AND VISIT MY NEIGHBORHOOD

This post is for Jacque , to let her (and you) appreciate how we feel when we live in altitude, 6th floors from the ground.

Here, my building. This construction dates from 1903. This building made with cut-stone is typical from many arrondissements of Paris. They're called "immeuble Haussmannien". It means they date from the new plan of Paris by the Baron Haussmann who wanted to design a new modern town in the end of the 19th century.

You see that open window, it's ours.

From the ground, we don't even see the flowers.

From left ........and right side, those windows at the balcony.

View at the West............and East

The green cross above is a drugstore/pharmacy.

From above, see the street and its little ants, other parisians.

Look at those beautiful suspended gardens, the red one in the foreground is ours, at the boys'bedroom.

Let's see farther. Do you note that little cross behind the chimneys? It"s the spire of our church.

I can see this corner of our Church from my balcony.

When I'm on the place, here, it is.

You can see the station of subway, the Kiosque where we can buy newspapers and periodicals on the left.

A carousel for little kids, on the right.

In front of the church, the city hall. Paris is divided in 20 arrondissements. Each gets his own city hall. The main one is the 1st arronissement.

A café in the place of the Church and the City Hall, and 2 entrances and issue of the Subway.

Note the European flag in front of our Official buildings, the Blue-White-Red in front of our city-hall.

This is a "Colonne Morris"serves since a century to present theater shows, or movie posters.
