Muslims caught praying on the streets of Paris
face arrest in tough new law. By Peter Allen.
Sept. 18, 2011.

Being chauffeured around Paris with Contessa Maria,
and also staying at one of the world's small luxury hotels,
oddly did little for me. I much perfer to be out and about
on the streets and mingling with humanity as I explore
whatever world city or geographic location I may
happen to be in. The more I explore Paris, the
more majestic it really is to me.
***
With its population of 2.2 million, Paris is a relatively
small city compared to say London's 7.2 million inhabitants.
Yet, Paris excites me far more than London as Maria and I
bid our latest goodbyes at her departure back to America
at the Parisian airport. I then quickly hopped on the nearest
RAPT bus No. 350 back to downtown Paris, where I
enjoyed learning more about French culture and French
cruisine and French parculiarities.

Aside from that, let me share my "Postcard From Paris"
with you without any further ado with about a dozen images
below of everyday life inside and around the French
capital. Let me start with Gary Day's photoshot of Dior's,
which is about as French as you can get, I guess!

Due to other busy engagements, I have had to cut short
this story of my "Postcard From Paris." Hope, however,
the images help convey my latest happy
encounter with Paris.
