Promenade in Paris on a cold windy day...

The last time I was in Paris in Februry 2014 it was still winter. However, it was supposedly less chilly than previewed. No snow. No icy rain. Good for people who came from the tropics. That having said, I am still weary of the pickpockets that are ever so present in the Parisian Metro, especially after a bad experience last summer. With just a day to do my things, I went on a simple walk around, aimlessly as usual...

Photos of the almost deserted street in the wee hours of the morning - at the Gare de Lyon.

Outside the Peugeot concept store at Champs Elysees.

Wouldn't mind being a Fireman just to drive this one...

A newstand (or kiosk) just outside...

Arc de Triomphe, under some kind of construction again...

The interactive staircase in Louis Vuitton's shop...

Lancel's display just a few shops away...

Inside the Metro...

And the station at Bir-Hakim

A little birdy doing its round with the tourists...

Interesting door knobs

Vertical gardening outside a block of apartments at Quai Branly...

Cleopatra's needle, a gift from Egypt during colonial times...

The temple of Madaleine...

Longchamp nearby...
