Welcome to Paris... on foot.

 

 

You've reached the free website of a native Parisian who never stops scrutinising his home city for surprising architectural details. You only have to keep your eyes open (or your mouse moving) and gaze upwards to see an endless variety of fascinating features which aren't easily spotted from pavement level. These pages are updated on a monthly basis and if you have any positive or negative feedback, please click on "Contact" and send an e-mail.

Topic of the month: birds and their fledglings

There is no lack of birds on Parisian façades whether they be alone or in groups, wings folded or outstrtched, sometimes recognizable or often much less so. Some are even shown feeding their chick or watching over their fledglings thightly wedged in the nest. Usually fairly small, these birds are hardly visible rather as they are in real life. Here are just a few.
