Chez Marie - Calvaire Stairs

[JW53]

Another from the archive of our Feb trip to Paris couple years ago. After visiting Montmatre and Sacr-Coeur as we made our way back to the Metro we stopped in Chez Marie at the bottom of the Calvaire steps for lunch. Tiny tiny place where we ended up sharing a table with a couple from Spain at on end of the table and another from Germay at the other. Food was ok but more importantly it was warm, and welcoming after the cold and blustery conditions up by the Basilica.

Again D800 24.120 @ 38mm iso 180 f8.0 and 1/100.

This one is really stunning, John!
A moody capture of the "real" Paris, away from the touristy area's.

Very nice. IMO If you crop the image from just below the lower roof , the image might look even better.

Thanks Bart..very steep set of steps leading up behind the camera into one of Montmatre‘s main squares. Not a lot of tourist as most use a small tram to get to the Basilica and rest of Montmatre.

Another wonderful monochrome conversion!

Thanks Mike, enjoyed working this image.

Great lines and contrast!

Thank you, lots of character in these old buildings.

Thank you Binnur.
