Morning walk in the XIXe

[mossie]

Leaving the hotel I walked up rue de Meaux until it ran into Av Jean Juares. Here is this marvellous shop, which we would call a greengrocers.



I continued up to rue de l'Ourcq to check on the state of the street art.



From there it is a short step to the Canal de l'Ourcq, where even the lorries can attract the graffiti artists



and Snoopy had ended it all, Barbie having rejected him



and from there to the strange Pont Levant de Crimee, where the rue de Crimee crosses the canal.



Crossing the pedestrian bridge I took this shot of La Rotunde at the far end of the Bassin de la Villette



and continued by walking round St Christophers Inn which is one of an international chain of “backpackers Hostels”. Presumably the extensive use of parcel tape is to stop the old converted warehouse from collapsing.



Walking on beside the bassin I asked this lady for o shot of her and her chocolate poodle



And then came upon this strange houseboat. Note thet madam has her own private rubbish tip and a stairway to heaven



I then headed off up rue Riquet for the metro to get to Galeries Lafayette which is an essential stop on my visits to Paris.

Poor Snoopy! I wonder what the real cause of his demise was.

Thanks for sharing your walk with us, Mossie. You really have an eye for street art.

Barbie was not right for him.....now that brown poodle......... ;D

[paris...ahh]

Thanks for sharing the pictures. My fav was the one of the poodle who is the same size as our Max who is apricot/brown.

the top]of the stairway to heaven. That was

a long Walk
