Ahhh, Paris, that wonderful, romantic City of Light, is steeped in culture and history as shown in its architecture, monuments, and museums. We have timed our visit to take advantage of La Fête de la Musique, an amazing celebration of Summer Solstice. Music rings all over the city. You move from jazz on one corner, to a rock bank on the next, classical at another, and ethnic dancing in any number of little parks nearby. You may even hear opera under each of the entry arches to the Louvre, where the acoustics are amazing. As you drift toward the next arch, the music fades from the first as the music from the next arch takes its place. The city is divided into 20 arrondissements, or districts, and while we can't possibly visit them all in this short time, we'll show you our favorite locations to photograph.
As always, we will encourage you to seek your own vision and teach you how elements of composition and the magic of light work in concert to make wonderful photographs. You will be inspired by the sights and sounds of this magical city. We'll take you to places with such familiar names as the Latin Quarter, la Rive Gauche (Left Bank) and its Bouquinistes (book stalls), Notre Dame with those amazing gargoyles, the Louvre, la Tour Eiffel lit up at night, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Montmartre, to name a few. There are also the arches, monuments, and wonderful streets, both broad and narrow.
This is where The Barefoot Contessa's English granny took part in café society back in the 20s, and not much has changed since then. You'll see people gathered in cafés intensely discussing art and the issues of the day. We'll find time to take breaks at these little restaurants, grab a bite to eat, and give our feet a rest, for we will be walking a lot. It is the way to really see and savor the city and, of course, to photograph it. Crossing le Pont des Arts during Summer Solstice, you may have the opportunity to photograph any one of a number of guest musicians who are picnicing before the evening festivities. Wine, cheese, and goodies laid out on blankets beckon, and sometimes, one is lucky enough to be asked to visit for a spell. In fact, the last time Arnie and I were in Paris, we were invited to patake of wine and picnic fare as well as fun conversation. And speaking of conversation, Margo speaks fluent French and has since she was in grade school. If you can manage a "Bonjour" (hello) or "Merci" (thank you), it is always appreciated!
