SUNDAY OUTING - 4 th ARRONDISSEMENT

When we don't get much money to spend, we practice this activity of walking around an area of Paris which is free, but is really worth it.

Do you want to come with us today for a walk in Paris? Come and follow me this way,

no, this way, . . . .. . . wait a minute, I can't remember, I'm lost ?

We are in the historical center, Place des Vosges, 4th arrondissement.

I let you admiring the style instead of discribing it with words

The neighborhood is historic, and also very alive even on Sunday. Many old food-shops have been bought by great brands of fashion. Fortunately they conserved the storefront. Look :

an old frontshop of a butcher .

There is a big community of French jewish population. Many shops are specialized. I show you. Some of this community are jew-orthodox.

During WW2, wealth of many jews were stolen. All the paintings that have been recovered a long time after war, and non reclaimed by relatives are exposed here.

'This paintings belonged to who?'

Funny name for a street : Street of the 'step' of the mule.

A frontshop : 'Yesterday for Tomorrow'

These places are just very parisian. Not absolutly the essential when people come and visit Paris, but they get a 'soul' as we say here, an atmosphere.

That's all for today. I'll show you many more, later. Rest your eyes from so much beauty! ; )
