At the end of the day, a visit to Paris is about walking the streets rather than all the great museums. Here are my thoughts about and images from my October 2025 trip to Paris.

Expat in Paris (II)
I love walking the streets of Paris and visiting its cemeteries. Here are my thoughts and images from an October 2025 trip to Paris
Expat in Paris (I)
A trip to Paris is always an enjoyable experience. In October 2025, I made yet another trip, revisiting Notre Dame de Paris, the Pantheon, La Villette, and the Canal Saint-Martin. Here is Part I of a multi-part article that includes my thoughts and images from my journey.
Paris Cemeteries

Cemeteries are for the living. And Paris cemeteries are for photographers. My favorite is Père Lachaise, a 110-acre park located in the 20th arrondissement. Its rolling terrain is filled with 70,000 burial plots, holding the famous and not-so-famous.
The Eiffel Tower

Let me riff for a moment as a photographer. To photograph the Eiffel Tower or not to, that is the question. I have moved 180 degrees on that issue.

Undecided

It is impossible to spend 10 days in Paris traipsing through museums and not have some of the Impressionist works rub off on you. Or as Kaiman Wong says, "Bokeh."
Time to pack.
Evelyn

Well, on our tenth day in Paris, Evelyn was difficult to roust from bed, but I eventually got her out the door. We climbed Notre Dame. Despite telling her that I did not need another photograph with her in it, she insisted on posing.
