20th borough - Saint Blaise street since the door of the church Saint Germain de Charonne



Saint Blaise street, formerly Saint Germain street, was miraculously protected from the madness of the architects. Since the hall of the church Saint Germain de charonne, on the other side of Bagnolet street, we can dream about little in popular Paris such as we like it by admiring the perspective. Saint Blaise street reminds us conveniently that before being gobbled up by Paris, these streets, these blocks were villages.

17th borough - Café "Au Bon Coin"



What else? A typical signboard, terrace tables, a cycle on its pedal, a panel of no-entry sign and a dog disguised as lampshade... " Le Bon Coin " is just in the corner of streets Lemercier and Jacquemont.

16th borough - The gardens of the Trocadéro and the Eiffel Tower



Fitted out in 1937 by roger Lardat for the World Fair of 1937, ponds and fountains of the trocadéro are for the program all the operators tours. And really, the perspective with the Seine and the Eiffel Tower in bottom of landscape is a must to the souvenir pictures . The most difficult is to reach the rail to immortalize the moment, because of the crowd of the tourists.
