Gazing ahead we see the Sorbonne Universite Paris
Rounding the corner we see the Pantheon
Looking behind us we see the Eiffel Tower in the distance
Walking left we see Saint-Etienne-du-Mont
and there we find 'the Steps'
Paris is magical at night. Lights bathe centuries old buildings with a golden wash. Padestrians stroll along the sidewalks of narrow streets, and linger in cafes until well after midnight. Laughter, language, aromas, and the peal of bells fill the night air.
Eiffel stands guard over all with a beam of blue light.
a motor can be heard in the distance
a vehicle rounds the corner and headlights beam directly onto the steps
will the vehicle stop
It's not yet midnight
We lingered on the steps, imagining Paris of the 1920's, until just minutes prior to midnight. As we began to make our way to the M for the journey home, Martha sounded the 12 bells.
From deep within, one must love Paris and all that affects the senses to truly embrace the City of Light.
An enchanted evening.....
