Signs of Paris (2)

Here are a few more pictures of signs in Paris. I took them on April 1, 2006, the day we arrived in Paris from Saint-Aignan and went for a long walk around the city.


On the local front, we're about to wash away. We've had 88 mm — 3.5 inches — of rainfall over the past 10 days. Luckily, I haven't seen any flooding (but I haven't been out much) and our roof isn't leaking. When it comes to rain, it's feast or famine around here. The winter rains started a couple of weeks early this year. Oh, and we set our clocks back early this morning. We should see some daylight earlier this morning than over the past few weeks. The sun will rise at 7:33 a.m. today.

  1. Great news that the roof is not leaking, even with that much rain.... the street name in the first upper left photo is apropos (Boulevard de Bonne -Nouvelle ) :) Now I have to look up recouvrance. I'm glad that you'll have sun earlier, and again, I love these Paris photos :)

  3. 66. It was the Comptoir national d'escompte de Paris back then. I loved walking into the bank, but didn't enjoy the long commute from the Cité Universitaire near Boul Jourdan.
