Changer de monture ? A Paris. C'était possible à la fin du 19ème siècle dans l'ancienne rue du Marché aux Chevaux (aujourd'hui au 5 rue Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire 5ème arrondissement). Ici, l'ancienne entrée du batiment du marché aux chevaux de l'époque.
Le mien est garé en bas de chez moi.
Change of mount ? In Paris.
It was possible at the end of the 19th century in the rue du Marché aux Chevaux (Horses Market street), today named Rue Geoffroy Saint Hilaire 5ème arrondissement. Here, the old entrance of the horses market.
Mine is parked just outside my house.

An other dealer in the same area.
Great images, crisp and clean - and the subjects are rather special.
RépondreSupprimer'Poneys' rather surprised me, sort of Franglais...:)
That's wonderful how the horse looks out from the building. Beautiful architecture and statues.
RépondreSupprimerVery special and highly interesting. Thank you for sharing!
RépondreSupprimerYour photos look really lovely, true colours too.
RépondreSupprimerVery interesting with the horses...
Haha, mine is parked outside my house too (no really!). Lovely buildings.
RépondreSupprimerWonderful pictures!I loved the perfect symmetry in the first shot!
RépondreSupprimerHow interesting that the markets have horse heads on them! I like the iron work around the windows too.
RépondreSupprimerThat's the first time I've ever seen a building dedicated to selling horses. Would love to be there if there was ever an auction. I like the horse's heads.
RépondreSupprimerThanks for calling in earlier. I find Edinburgh a strange city - parts of it are very, very old and radiating outwards it becomes more modern. Parts of it I like, parts of I don't...overall, though, it is very beautiful, but I don't think anyone could capture the essence of the city in one photo. It is worth a visit :-)
You park your horse outside your house?
RépondreSupprimerOf all of these, I think the first is my favorite. Very unique angle!
Hi Catherine :)
RépondreSupprimerI see a different lady in the profile photo:) Is it because Catherine changes her moods depending the season?:)
Lovely photos!
The old time charm and beauty is giving way to modernity and the simple life of yesteryears giving place to brisk and busy life. Who buys horses these days? We are all crazy about automobiles. Instead of feeding grass to the horses we feed petrol to the cars. Can you see how life styles have changed over a period of time?
I enjoyed the photos and the write up.
Have a beautiful day, Catherine :)
Very interesting! Great pics in mono.
RépondreSupprimerWhat a wonderful sequence of pictures, Catherine. And the subject is so special and unusual. :-)
RépondreSupprimerAbout my post, you're right, the Piazza Vittorio has the arcades (Turin has about 16km of arcades), I'll show them in future.
Oh mais j'ai déjà vu ces clichés quelques part moi....
RépondreSupprimerBisous à tous et à ton cheval !
vraiment original, je savais pas que cela existé encore...apres le velib, voila le chevalib ;o)
RépondreSupprimerOUf, j'ai eu peur, j'ai cru un instant qu'il s'agissait d'une boucherie chevaline! Tu as raison, le nez en l'air, on découvre tout plein de détails insolites!
RépondreSupprimerIls prenaient moins de place pour se garer!
RépondreSupprimerBien trouvé! Je ne connaissais pas. (Moi aussi, je me suis exceptionnellement lancé dans le monochrome aujourd’hui … et pour une semaine!)
RépondreSupprimerEn monochromie ou en true colours, ces photos sont d'un calme.
RépondreSupprimerDe quelle couleur est ta monture pour ne pas avoir le droit de figurer sur une des photos?
Lovely! So unusual to see a horse's head protruding from the building. The lines of the buildings are so simple and elegant, and there are the horses. I love it.
RépondreSupprimerGoodness, that first horse looks decapitated! I feel quite sorry for him stuck up there like that. (Project your feelings much Robin?)
RépondreSupprimerYour blog is working much better for me now. Whatever you changed works, and I can now browse to my heart's content without it shutting down.
Greats BW photos.
RépondreSupprimerBeautiful building for horses and poneys.
Hope you come back every week.
superbe batiment.
RépondreSupprimerJe me suis toujours demandé si un double poney valait le 1/3 d'un cheval
Oh, the monochrome is so nice. How do you do it? The horse heads on the buildings look so real. Makes me want to see if the rest of it is inside on the other side of the wall.
RépondreSupprimerFree the horses! =) Great photos! Thank you for sharing!
RépondreSupprimerIntéressant, je ne connaissais pas. Tes photos sont superbes. Alors, c'est ton cheval qu'on voit de temps en temps attaché t'attendant patiemment devant le Bon Marché, Mariage Frères, la maison du chocolat et autres lieux de perdition ? ;-)
RépondreSupprimerVery interesting, loved how you took the first photo. Great shots.
RépondreSupprimerNice pic's, i love how the horse head stands out on the first shot.
RépondreSupprimerReally great shots. You always share such interesting photos with us. Thanks!
RépondreSupprimerThank you for your blog. I know that sounds strange. But I enjoy coming here and getting a tour by you. Thank you.
