Travel :: Rooftops of Paris

The rooftops of Paris are everything.  Seriously, if you had to ask me to describe in one word what symbolises Paris to me, it wouldn't be Eiffel or croissant or glamour, it would be rooftops.  Just thinking about them makes my heart skip a beat.  There is something about the gray roofs and red chimneys against the sky that seems as though it takes me back to the early 20th century.  Today was cloudy, but as I neared the top of Centre Pompidou {which by the way was simply insane -- photos below} the clouds parted and lit up the rooftops against a golden pink sky.  It was simply breathtaking.  

More photos of my adventures [including LOTS of photos of rooftops} below:

{Paris in color}

{Wandering around Canal Saint Martin, which you may remember from Amelie}

{The beautiful, bizzare, inspiring, and fascinating Centre Pompidou.  From the outside of the structure which was built to appear as though the building were inside out (many say it is the most avant garde building in the world) to the huge assortment of contempory and modern art inside (some amazing, some strange), it truly makes for a wonderful afternoon in Paris}

{The rooftops of Paris - little hearts are coming out of my eyes as we speak}

 

{Funky street art throughout Paris.  One note, I have seen those cats now multiple times.  There must be some kind of meaning behind it...anyone?}

{Stopping for tea at Mariage Freres Maison de The, which I cannot recommend enough}

Bonsoir mes amis!
