Thoughts of Rue Saint-Dominique, Paris, autumn 2008
I was in Paris in October 2008 for a few days stopping over from Germany and will head over to Scotland from here. The following photograph of the iconic Eiffel Tower was taken on a Sunday morning around 10am at Rue Saint-Dominique street, just outside of my hotel entrance.
More of my thoughts of Paris and other nice photographs follows.
Saint-Dominique street is located at the 7th Arrondissement in Paris. Apparently, Paris is segregated to 20 Arrondissements, or area. A 20-minutes walk along this street will lead you to Champ-de-Mars, the large park where Eiffel Tower is located. Being close to the heart of Paris, this area gives me a sense of class, as the shops seems to be catering for upper class residents (at least, that's what I think).
The streets here is quite narrow, with a one-way lane, and a parallel parking space. On both sides of the street are shops, restaurants and cafes, while at the back of the shops hides apartments and hotels. It was rather quiet at that time, which I imagine most residents are still at home, or have gone to Church.
Turning to the smaller street off Saint-dominique, we have streets that have less people, and the road are laid using rocks instead of the usual tarmac. And yess, equally narrow. I don't see any shops here, mostly are residential homes. Still, these streets are still equally charming.
