Paris, France, Summer 2026

4:16 PM

Recent and modern Batignole buildings. It used to be a place for trains assembly, now full of parks and housing facilities. Very modern and diversified.

7:57 PM

It was an interesting moment where the clouds added a dramatic touch to the scene of Sacre-Coeur Basilica entrance.

10:30 PM

A classic from Paris, the gothic / Gaudi metro sign entrance.

11:07 PM

And this is how many of us are ending the night. What an exhausting and heated day.

11:10 AM

Here’s another carousel that I came across on our way to see the Notre Dame Cathedral. I think this is the third or fourth one so far, and probably the last.

12:34 PM

Took a lunch break at the Samaritaine department store. We add a delicious vegan dish and banana cake. All means to skip the heat is a net plus for us.

11:21 PM

Another take on lightened windows, late-night theme. I love these because I always wonder about the life going on in those apartments.

11:54 AM

What a strange building, and a controversial one. Français : La tuyauterie extérieure du Centre Pompidou est principalement fonctionnelle, et non décorative : les architectes ont volontairement placé les réseaux techniques à l’extérieur pour libérer de grands espaces à l’intérieur du bâtiment. The exterior piping of the Pompidou Centre is primarily functional rather than decorative. The architects deliberately placed the building’s technical systems on the outside to create large, open interior spaces.

12:05 PM

Picture of a Sake shop on our way to Saint-Louis Island. At first, I wanted to get into the shop for a better view of the display but decided against it when I saw the reflection effect.

1:56 PM

I’m a big fan of churches and cathedrals, thanks to my late father who was a professional architect. I tend to look at details instead of the whole thing. In this scene, the light was just right.
