Meet April! Or rather, just her name for now—I’m not doing introductions here—she’s already done that herself by writing on my blog. And honestly, I think her story is pretty inspiring, especially for my younger followers. She’s constantly pushed herself out of her comfort zone. And thank goodness she did—otherwise, she wouldn’t have met me! (Typical Aries move, making it all about myself 😂😂😂) Usually, when I ask someone to write a guest post, it takes a while to hear back—understandably so. Writing isn’t everyone’s thing, and when it comes to Paris, people always feel like they’re not doing it justice, so they end up overthinking. But with April, it was the complete opposite. She wrote it right away—and then I was the one who kept delaying posting it. All because of my own little perfectionist issues. 😂😂 April is someone who loves and knows this city just as much as I do, and with her great energy, she’ll give you amazing tours. She’s also a dear friend of mine. I really recommend reading her story—and if I happen to be way too busy (!!) to do a tour, go with April instead. 😁 The story of April is in the link in my bio. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw14eme #pbw14th #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-06-18 12:50:51 .. 126 +86% 17 +866%
The 11th arrondissement is full—and I mean full—of wine bars. So… which one is your kind of place? Do you just want natural wine and couldn’t care less about the rest? Or maybe: “Just give me some charcuterie and cheese with that natural wine, and I’m good”? Or are you more like: “Natural wine, yes—but I need tasty small plates too”? Or maybe you are “I want natural wine, delicious sharing plates and a space with style”? Whatever your answer, you’ll be happy here. Me? I’m in the last group. I don’t enjoy going to places that are ‘cool’ just because the wine is good—if the food is average, I’m out. That’s why this place is one of my top picks when I want good wine, great food, and a laid-back but stylish vibe: petard.paris 🍷🧀🍽️ The duo behind this gem? Paul and Louis. What they have in common: they’ve both been chasing good food and wine since they were young. (In my opinion, they still count as young—but let’s not talk about my age, ok? 😁) After gaining experience in the food & drink departments of some pretty upscale Parisian hotels, they decided to open their own place. They picked excellent producers for their wine list without compromising on the food—and they’ve got great taste in design too. Everything is made in a tiny open kitchen, and those sharing plates? Totally satisfying. Jacob’s the one making sure everything comes out just right, and let me tell you—working in a tiny open kitchen is no joke. 👏👏👏 Extra applause for him! #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw11eme #pbw11th #pbw11rest #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-06-03 12:51:37 .. 67 -1% 1 -43%
Since I’ve started writing about wine bars in this row, of course I couldn’t skip my first love — Frenchie Bar à Vin, a place we’ve been going back to now and then for the past 8 years. No need to write a whole new article — I think a quick update since my original Frenchie piece back in 2019 will do the trick. - What hasn’t changed at Frenchie and with Gregory Marchand: delicious food, great wines, a solid team, and consistently good service. - What has changed: the iconic lobster roll spot, Frenchie To Go, is gone. In its place, there’s now L’Altro Frenchie, focusing on Italian cuisine. And, Gregory’s world has also grown — he’s opened new restaurants in Biarritz and Verbier. Especially in spring and summer, when the sun sets late, the charm of Rue du Nil combined with the cool yet welcoming vibe of the Bar à Vin is honestly one of the best reflections of my Paris. In short: JUST GO! Even if there’s a wait, hang in there — you’ll be happily sipping wine on the street while you do. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw2eme #pbw2nd #pbw2rest #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-06-01 12:49:20 .. 71 +5% 1 -43%
As someone who used to run a restaurant, I never judge a place on my first visit—if I don’t love something right away, I may give it a second chance. And on this account, I only share the spots I genuinely like—after going at least twice. But some places make me break my own “cool and collected” rule. Like this wine bar that got me into Trouble. (Yes, I went there with the pun—don’t roll your eyes too hard 😁😂) At trouble.winebar chef stefanattso is doing an incredible job. He brings together the skills he picked up at Passerini and Mokoloco and creates plates that feel like a full-on festival. Seasonal ingredients, simple dishes meant to be shared, and flavors that really stick with you. As we move from spring to summer, everything is bright green—💚 asparagus, peas, green beans (haricots verts), leeks… and each one plays so well with the main elements on the plate. Of course, great food calls for great wine. Enter nico_phillips ‘ world. The person behind the wine list. I spotted a few natural wine producers I already know and love—so I handed over all decision-making and was not disappointed. Oh, and here’s something I should’ve said right at the start: this Monday, trouble.winebar turns one! 🎉 Sending birthday wishes and hoping this new year brings even more reasons to go back… again and again! #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw9eme #pbw9th #pbw9rest #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-05-31 12:56:09 .. 78 +15% 4 +127%
If you’ve been following me for a while, you already know—I’m not a Michelin person. And I stand by it.😁 I’m all about bistronomy. So, what is bistronomy? The simplest and clearest definition: it’s all about fresh, high-quality ingredients, simple yet delicious recipes, the warm atmosphere of traditional bistros, and fair prices. No rigid, unbreakable rules—just great flavors and, perhaps the hardest thing of all, the pursuit of excellence in simplicity. So, who were the pioneers of this movement? While yves_camdeborde is often hailed as the founding father, a whole wave of bold, unconventional chefs soon joined the ranks. Picture this; One chased Michelin inspectors out of his restaurant, another mastering the culinary arts solo, and yet another who hadn’t sautéed a single French dish until unveiling his own French bistro. A wild bunch, all of whom helped shape and carry bistronomy into the present day. Here, doucetbruno, the culinary wizard behind la_regalade and a true bistronomy trailblazer. Hailing from Tours, Chef Doucet grew up amidst his family’s lavish feasts, sparking his passion for food. Kicking off his culinary journey in the ‘90s, he made a bold move in 2004 by taking over La Régalade from Chef Camdeborde, instantly stealing the spotlight. This gutsy leap firmly planted his name in Paris’s buzzing restaurant scene. With a menu that grooves to the beats of seasonal market finds, I’ve yet to encounter a dish that didn’t delight. Each visit serves up mind-blowing plates that leave me eagerly counting down to my next foodie adventure. And spotting the chef in his crisp white jacket, passionately working the floor, adds that extra sprinkle of satisfaction to the whole experience. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw1er #pbw1st #pbw1rest #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-05-23 12:35:30 .. 54 -20% 0 -100%
If you’re in a Paris bistro and two sharply dressed gentlemen, well into their nineties, settle in beside you—chatting effortlessly with bow-tied waiters in crisp white shirts who clearly know what they’re doing—and you’ve somehow managed to order the wine they were going to choose… go ahead, give yourself a little nod. You’re definitely not in just any old restaurant. There are restaurants, and then there’s Le Quincy—a time capsule with gingham curtains, tiled floors, and a crayfish aquarium you pass on your way to the loo. Here, Michel Bosshard—aka Bobosse—has been running the show for over 50 years, still in his signature blue jacket (if you’re lucky to see him) order an apéro (non-negotiable), i had “un peu de champagne” and bring cash, and leave your modern-day expectations at the door. The menu? Never changes. Never needs to. Think leek tart, stuffed cabbage, foie gras, and rabbit with white wine—all homemade, all served with a wink by a team that’s been around as long as the wallpaper. In the kitchen: Chef laurentjosefiak, a one-man orchestra of old-school French bistro classics. Is it nostalgic? Yes. Is it theatrical? Absolutely. Is it one of the last true Parisian bistros? Without question. Just don’t forget—this isn’t a restaurant, it’s a mood. One that pairs best with plum brandy and good appetite. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw12eme #pbw12th #pbw12rest #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-05-20 14:14:52 .. 134 +98% 5 +184%
I know I’ve been a bit slow with posting in 2025, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been out eating! Especially if you’re into classic French bistros, don’t miss my upcoming posts. Now tell me, how can these three words possibly belong in the same post? - Code name, Calvados, and crispy pig’s ear !!! 🧐 😁 A hotspot of the Resistance, Café Max (formerly known as Café Hélice) served as a clandestine backroom for the Resistance from 1941 onwards, thanks to its owner, Eugène Germain, and a few friends who secretly held the reins of a French Resistance network. In 1972, the café was renamed ‘Café Max’ in honor of Jean Moulin, a member of this small group of spies, whose resistance name was Max. Chef Frédéric Vardon, Normandy native and Calvados ambassador (he offers more than he sells, he’ll have you know), has taken over the historic address in 2022. Vardon grew up dreaming of being a farmer, sharpened his knives with the three Alains (Chapel, Ducasse, Dutournier), and now leads both Le 39V and this cozy 28-seater lined with red banquettes and serious Parisian charm. In the kitchen, chiahung007 , a Taiwanese-born chef who cut his teeth at George V then 39 V, serves up bistro favorites like egg mimosa, herring with apples, and pig’s ear that’s got serious crunch appeal. You may no longer need a password to get in, but it’s still the kind of place where secrets—and sauces—are handled with care. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw7eme #pbw7th #pbw7rest #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-05-16 12:35:50 .. 47 -30% 1 -43%
Here’s the latest stop in this row from a former production site in the 11th arrondissement. Another fascinating story. This industrial building, made of brick and steel, was designed in 1901 by architect Louis Morgand. It was originally built for Alphonse Flamencourt, a cabinetmaker and furniture merchant. He even named the building after his son: Marcel. In 1936, the building turned to a completely different world: billiards and casino games. It was bought by Georges Caro, a manufacturer and also the author of the “Official and Practical Manual of Billiard Games.” He transformed the space into both a factory and a showroom. Mahogany pool tables, brass details, hand-carved oak… So luxurious that even Emperor Hirohito and Sacha Guitry were regular clients. After WWII, the company expanded: roulette, blackjack, chemin de fer… Eastern Paris was no longer just about chairs—it was about games of chance. In 1968, the manufacturing moved to Vierzon, while this Paris address remained the sales hub. In 2005, Caro—the last French manufacturer in its field—was bought by the Tranchant Group. But with the rise of online gambling, the industry struggled. By 2010, Caro had closed its doors. Today? No more felt-covered tables or polished cues—but the original plaques are still there on the façade: “Games,” “Tokens,” “Complete club and casino installation.” The building is now home to private apartments and a bank. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw11eme #pbw11th #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-05-10 13:45:39 .. 45 -33% 0 -100%
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the 11th arrondissement was once one of Paris’s major production hubs. And this building is a perfect example of that legacy. After years of success that brought ceramic art into the spotlight, Jules Loebnitz and his family commissioned a new headquarters, built between 1880 and 1884 by architect Paul Sédille. The Loebnitz Faïencerie became one of the most prestigious ceramic workshops of its time. The façade features four striking ceramic panels—three of which were originally part of the Beaux-Arts Gate shown at the 1878 Universal Exhibition. One of the reasons behind Monsieur Loebnitz’s success was his development of unbreakable earthenware, especially used in tiles and fireplace decorations. The factory also produced architectural ceramics for iconic monuments like the Château de Blois, the Monte-Carlo theatre, various Paris train stations, and the Joan of Arc monument dome in Rouen. He collaborated with some of the most celebrated architects of his time, including Félix Duban, Viollet-le-Duc, and of course, Paul Sédille. The building functioned as both a workshop and a residence for the staff. Its elegant stone façade blends classical design with a metal framework, while the ceramic elements showcase the craftsmanship that took place inside. After decades of success, the factory closed in 1935, unable to keep pace with industrialization. Today, the building stands as a testament to an era when art and architecture went hand in hand. And finally—though I haven’t seen them myself yet—the original kilns are still preserved in the basement. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw11eme #pbw11th #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-05-09 12:28:17 As I.. 49 -28% 0 -100%
I’d like to share three buildings from my walking tour of the 11th arrondissement, which I’ve just put the finishing touches on. Maybe these will excite some of you who are planning a trip to Paris! First, a few facts about the 11th: – Woodworking here dates back to the 14th century, just outside the city walls – By the 17th and 18th centuries, artisans from the Faubourg were exporting high-end furniture to aristocrats and royals across Europe – By the 19th century, the area housed over 400 workshops—ébénistes (cabinetmakers), menuisiers (joiners), marqueteurs (marquetry artists) – Buildings were like vertical factories: cellars for sawing, attics for polishing – Courtyards and secret passages were part of everyday life—you can still find a few if you wander Now, let’s get to the building in this post. Compared to the long history of furniture-making in the area, this one actually came quite late. It was designed in 1926 by Achille Champy and renovated in 1989. Originally, it was the site of Maison Boutet, a joinery workshop that supplied both local and exotic woods to the craftsmen of Faubourg Saint-Antoine. The building has a reinforced concrete structure, and its façade is decorated with ochre and blue enameled tiles by Alphonse Gentil and Eugène Bourdet. The awning is lit up with yellow and blue colored glass. It’s now a listed protected heritage site of the 11th arrondissement. From 1944 to 1983, the building housed the chocolate factory La Suisse Normande. When they removed the five large chocolate mixing conches, they had to open up the second floor to get them out. After a renovation in 1989, the building was raised by two floors and transformed into RATP offices (Paris’ public transportation authority). More recently, the building was transformed into a 5-star hotel by Sofitel, under its MGallery collection: Hotel Paris Bastille Boutet opened its doors in December 2015. Some of you occasionally ask me where to stay in Paris—maybe this historic spot might catch your eye. 2025-05-08 12:13:54 .. 62 -8% 2 +14%
This is the third square and statue on this row: Place de la République and the Marianne Statue. (Actually, It’s not part of my 11th arrondissement tour unless we came here for a spontaneous meal or coffee.) Known as the “voice of the people,” this square has been a hub for political demonstrations and social movements for over a century. At its center is the bronze Marianne statue, designed by the Morice brothers in 1883, surrounded by smaller statues representing Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Look closely, and you’ll see reliefs of the French Revolution. Interestingly, like Place de la Bastille, this square has a historic connection to water, with an old reservoir from the 19th century hidden below. (no longer in use) Since its 2013 renovation, the square has become a lively spot for street performers, skateboarders, and gatherings. My favorite moments are when amateur dance groups show off their moves—it’s always a delight to watch! #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw #pbw3rd #pbw3eme #pbw11eme #pbw11th #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-01-19 12:16:10 This is the .. 82 +21% 0 -100%
In my previous post, I wrote about the starting point of my 11th arrondissement tour—a square that will likely remain unchanged. But there maybe a second grand square on this tour, one of Paris’s largest, Place de la Nation, with a circumference of about 800 meters. Interestingly, it’s one of the few squares in Paris that spans two arrondissements—the 11th and the 12th. I had previously written about the statue at its center—my attentive followers might remember. 😉 “Le Triomphe de la République” by Jules Dalou was inaugurated in 1899. The allegorical figure of the Republic symbolizes universal values and is surrounded by representations of labor, justice, peace, and abundance. But did you know this square also witnessed a darker chapter of history? During the Revolution, over 1,300 people were executed here by guillotine, earning it the name Place du Trône-Renversé (Square of the Overturned Throne). Before being renamed Place de la Nation in 1880 to honor the French Republic, it was called Place du Trône (Place of the Throne), as a throne was installed here in 1660 for Louis XIV’s ceremonial entry into Paris with his new bride, Maria Theresa of Spain. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw11eme #pbw11th #pbw12th #pbw12eme #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-01-17 13:54:17 In.. 49 -28% 0 -100%
Although it’s still undergoing its final touches, my first new tour of 2025 will be the 11th arrondissement tour. You’ll have to wait a little longer—I haven’t even approved it for myself yet, let alone tested it with my volunteers. But here’s one detail I can reveal: the meeting point will be near the “Génie de la Liberté” (Spirit of Freedom) you see in the photo. Here’s a small fact about it: the statue depicts a winged figure holding the torch of civilization in one hand and broken chains in the other, symbolizing freedom. I can already hear you asking, “What about the column the statue stands on?” So let me add this: it’s called the “Colonne de Juillet” (the July Column). It commemorates the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled Charles X and led to the rise of the July Monarchy under Louis-Philippe. Beneath the column lies a crypt containing the remains of revolutionaries who died during both the July 1830 and February 1848 revolutions. Two other details that caught my attention: • The Canal Saint-Martin runs directly under Place de la Bastille. It connects to the Seine and is covered by a vaulted tunnel at this point. • Perhaps because of the water below, Napoleon Bonaparte originally planned to build an elephant fountain on this site, known as the Elephant of the Bastille, to celebrate his victories. A plaster model of the elephant stood here for years before being dismantled. Victor Hugo even referenced it in Les Misérables. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw4eme #pbw4th #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2025-01-14 12:08:42 .. 116 +72% 0 -100%

Let me introduce you to David, the third and the last hero of my article. His shop is just a 6-minute walk from République square, and I absolutely love it. It’s a cozy corner shop with big windows that let in plenty of light. Inside, it’s always tidy, there’s good music playing, and of course, carefully crafted coffee options. I truly believe David was made for this job. He’s calm, friendly, and always has a warm smile. If there’s no line behind you, I can guarantee you’ll enjoy chatting with him.

Meet the second star of my blog post: Abner. Out of the three young entrepreneurs, he might just be the luckiest when it comes to coffee. Why? Because when I asked him a few quick questions, he replied, ‘My grandfather had a coffee finca in Guatemala, my home country.’ Coffee is in his blood, but his interests go far beyond it. Every time I visit, we end up chatting about something completely different. The last time, when we stopped by to take some photos, he and Aslı got deep into a conversation about cameras. By the way, his shop’s name and logo are among my absolute favorites in Paris. Curious to know more about Abner? Just click the link in my profile!

Looks like we can officially wrap up the year now! 😁 Check it out—I even wrote my second blog post of the year. Hu hu! 🎉🎊🎉 This time, it’s all about coffee. A mix of personal thoughts and industry insights, featuring three micro cafés and their owners. What they all have in common? A love for what they do, genuine vibes, and coolness. The star of this post is Loïc, the owner of Mini Café. Loïc’s take on the Paris coffee scene really resonates with me: good coffee is becoming a part of French life, opening doors for new investments, concepts, atmospheres, and recipes. Curious for more?

This medallion is the last in this row but actually the first one I noticed in the city, as it caught my eye while I was creating my 14th arrondissement tour. It’s also the oldest in terms of historical significance. The medallion depicts a scallop shell, a symbol closely associated with the Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James. This famous pilgrimage route leads to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, where the remains of St. James are believed to rest. Medallions like this are often embedded in streets or pathways to guide modern pilgrims, assuring them they’re on the right path. Historically, pilgrims carried real scallop shells to scoop water or use as bowls during their journey, making the shell both a spiritual and practical emblem. The shell’s radiating lines symbolize the various routes that pilgrims take across Europe, all converging in Santiago de Compostela. While no official Camino routes begin in Paris, the city is a meaningful starting point for pilgrims who choose to embark on their journey here. Their path begins at Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie (now the Tour Saint-Jacques) in the heart of the city and follows the Via Turonensis, meandering south through picturesque towns like Orléans and Tours before joining other routes to Spain. There’s no official count of scallop-shaped medallions in Paris, but wouldn’t searching for them make a fun treasure hunt? #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw14eme #pbw14th #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2024-12-08 13:52:53 This medallion.. 73 +8% 1 -43%
As you know, I have this obsession with posting three photos or pieces of information that are somehow connected in every row. So, this row became all about the medallions in the city. Let’s explain it one more time and then dive into the topic. The idea of being the center of the world may have been taken from France when Greenwich took over, but that doesn’t mean giving up. A new idea can always be born. And not just any idea—one that connects history, nature, and a touch of national pride. What is it? A green version of their beloved Paris Meridian! 🌱 Et voilà! This brings us to La Méridienne Verte, a millennium project that aimed to plant trees along the entire Paris Meridian, from Dunkirk in the north to Barcelona in the south. Yes, you read that right: trees along an imaginary line. Only the French could make this sound poetic. The Méridienne Verte was meant to create a visible, living pathway of trees, promoting greener cities and countryside. A thousand trees were planted, and while not all of them survived, the idea of the project still resonates. Some medallions are in Paris, while others are far off in rural towns where a tree might have grown into a full-blown landmark by now. #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw1er #pbw1st #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2024-12-05 11:53:55 As you know, .. 33 -51% 0 -100%
Like all nations, the French take pride in their country—and maybe feel a bit superior, too. Totally normal, right? But in 1884, they took quite a hit. 🙄 The Greenwich Meridian replaced the Paris Meridian. 😁 I can’t imagine they accepted that easily! But anyway, today’s topic isn’t French pride. It’s the medallions scattered across the streets of Paris related to this meridian. Before Greenwich, the Paris Meridian played a key role in French cartography and astronomy. There are 135 bronze markers, though not all have survived over time. They form a north-south line across the city. Designed in 1994 by Dutch artist Jan Dibbets, the medallions honor François Arago—a 19th-century French astronomer, physicist, and politician who helped calculate the Paris Meridian. Each medallion bears Arago’s name along with “N” and “S” to indicate direction. The line stretches over 9 kilometers, passing by iconic spots like the Luxembourg Gardens and the Louvre Pyramid. Should I turn this into a walking tour? 🤔 😁 #parisbywalking #pbw #pbw1er #pbw1st #paris #local #localguide #streetphotography #iciparis #cestparis #seemyparis #doitinparis #parisgram #paris_gram #paris_maville #parisianlife #topparisphoto #igersparis #localeats #parisfood #parisfoodguide #walkingtours #nontouristy #offthebeatenpath #strolling #hiddengems 2024-12-04 13:41:41 .. 18 -73% 0 -100%
