Roses, stone, and snow.

This is my favourite grave, the one that belongs to the composer Chopin. The statue is so beautiful and there is always a fresh rose in its arms.

An old tomb stone.

The famous parisian cementery, Le Pere Lachaise, in which I decided to take a little walk yesterday in the quiet, cold afternoon.

The sky was just clearing when I took this picture.

“Place du Tertre” is a square full of painters selling their work or drawing your portrait for you. I think it’s the first time I came for a strol there on a snow day, but I see that they where well organized!

Though Montmatre is a very lively area, the street just behind the church of the Sacre Coeur was very quiet when I came by it. With the snow, the stone street and walls, it looks out of time’s bonds.

Though you cannot see it on the previous picture, there was a lot of snow today. Here is the view from the top of the hill on which the Sacre Coeur is built.

Here is a close up of what is probably my favorite building in Paris!

Paris also has some original gadget stores! This one is near one of the Chatelet underground exit, by “Les Halles.” I like the joke in its name.

I’ve had the best Christmas eve in many years, with an role playing adventure game on the theme of Harry Potter with my brother and a friend of his… A few dice, a map, and off you go to another world! We had a lot of fun…

The weather was really lovely yesterday, not as cold as the rest of december. I hope it’s going to stay this way during my whole week of holidays!

To all my faithful friends checking my blog once in a while
Even thought it hasn’t been very active lately
I want to say thank you! And many good wishes in this season of holidays and celebrations.

And I promise that I will try and put some more nice pictures for all of you soon!

Love

Emilie
