A place to remember ...

Franz (Baden, Austria) on 11 January 2018 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

The 'Au Vieux Paris' is a lovely restaurant on the Ile de la Cité in the heart of Paris, just around the corner from Notre Dame Cathedral. In spite of the proximitiy of this famous cathedral, there were not many tourists about, which was both welcome and surprising. So we managed to find a table inside and have a simple but excellent lunch ...

This looks like a wonderful little place. Great shot. It's nice to see photos of Paris that are not the usual famous landmarks.

@B. Thomas: Thanks, Barbara, but there will be the occasional 'touristy' shot, too, I'm afraid ... ;-)

The beauty of this image and its presentation, is only enhanced by the story within. Congratulations on choosing a good time to visit and dine.

@Rick: Thanks, Rick. I guess we were lucky to find a table after all. There aren't that many eating places in this part of the Ile de la Cité.
