I stayed near Bastille in Paris. Here are some photos of the residential buildings in this eastern arrondissement. It's a nice neighborhood, with a lot of street life, shops, but also quiet sidestreets. I really liked the pastry shop on Faubourg with the pain au chocolat!

The buildings looked as delicious as pain au chocolat. :)

Does your pain au chocolat looked something like this?

I see... :)

Looks like a pastry from Delifrance.

that's what they look like in tesco's and sainsburys, minus the runny chocolate center.
A tad too much on the dry side.

I see... Pastry are usually dry.

I like dark chocolate eclairs as they are not too sweet or dry :)

Oui! C'est magnifique!

Quelqu'un peut me dire ce que la mairie a l'intention de faire avec les quartiers qui on été choisis comme "quartiers verts"?

Je sais que la vitesse de la circulation est théoriquement réduite a 30 km/h, mais est-ce qu'on va élargir les trottoirs ou planter des arbres?

Merci

C est dans le 14eme arrondissement qu on a installé le 1er quartier vert: on n y a pas planté d arbres. Juste installer des ralentisseurs au début des rues pour forcer les voitures à ralentir, et ils ont élargi UN seul trottoir (l entrée de la rue Sarrette).

j espere qu ils feront mieux à l avenir parceque les habitants du 14eme n ont jamais été convaincus par cette transformation

Merci pour l'info, EU
