On our way to Montmatre we found our selves on the Calvaire Steps at which at the bottom is a small restaurant Chez Marie. Very small and intimate with guest sharing tables. We ended uo sharing a table with a couple from Germany and another from Spain . It was funny trying to communicate with each other when no one spoke the same language and we all tried to communicate using very broken French. Food was ok but the warmth of this tinty Bistro and the welcoming people was greaat for getting out of the cold after the cold and blustery conditions up at the Basilica Sacre Couer on this February afternoon. Both images with the D800 and the 24-120, 1st @38mm and the 2nd @ 24mm

Paris is a fantastic city. Great photos.
Unfortunately, the Parisians do not like us Italians very much and have often been unfriendly towards me.
Every person and race is made up of beautiful and ugly people; generalising is never correct, but if it happens frequently...but I also have great French friends.

Paris is a wonderful city and we found the people very open and warm, even more so when we tried to commmunicate in very bad broken french, they seemed to appreciate the effort. In our 10 day stay we didn’t encounter one rude person, everyone very friendly.
