Here is the view from my office window, on the 20th floor of a huge building in the area “La Defense” in Paris, where I am working as of Monday. The sun sets very early now!

And here is a statue at the bottom of the tower I am working in - it looks surreal when you look at it with all the little office windows lit around it.

Yesterday (Sunday) I went to the Salon du vin, a great place to taste many different French wines - but it is not recommended to try ALL of them! (the picture shows the first floor, which was half as big as the second floor)

Here you can see the close up of one of the stands, where my brother bought a couple of bottles

Snow started to fall yesterday afternoon in Paris (and it was also snowing a lot in the morning!)

Going to Clichy yesterday morning (just on the outskirt of Paris) I passed by this beautiful statue in the middle of a park.

I like the bits of the Parisian metro which are overground

A beautiful little village from this region of the three borders - France, Belgium and Luxembourg.

I went to Metz this week-end to see one of my best friend who I hadn’t seen in 4 years. Here is a picture of the cathedral of Metz, coming out of the fog… (the weather was really cold!)

I love coming out of most metro stations. You see the sky as you go up the stairs, and in this case, a little piece of the opera house appearing in front of you.

Christmas illuminations in front of one of the biggest Parisian stores.

The light was hitting just one side of this square fountain…

A teddy bear and a chocolate brioche = a big smile from Mila!

This is one of the angles of the big underground shopping center “Forum des Halles” - the structure is very modern but all around it we have our old style cafés.

This is in front of the St. Lasare train station, just to make sure that people get to their trains on time….

I’ve been quoted in an article in the free Brighton magazine “The Insight” about bloggers in Brighton.

I’m back to Paris now! The Seine is not quite the Brighton sea but it’s still nice to stroll next to it
