An early start

6 a.m. Can’t sleep (thanks, Milo). What do you do?

Walk the dark, sleepy streets of Paris.

Admire the rosy streets lights.

Again and again.

Wonder about all the guests sleeping inside the Crillon.

Pause for a moment to dream about the jewels in Place Vendome.

Go window shopping.


Stop for a croissant.

Hmmmm... or a pain au chocolat?

And watch everyone else start their days.


(Morning, world.)

  1. Walk in a sleepy Paris listening to "Il est 5 heures Paris s'éveille", the best morning ever !

  4. I never like having to get up early, when it is still dark ! but for a walk in Paris, I think I would be happy to do it.
    Buen dia, mi amiga !

  5. I always love being up early before anyone else and having the streets all to myself. It's a very magical time of day. Especially when the morning is dark and you get those lovely warm pools of light to punctuate the gloom. But good gloom!

  6. Glad you guys enjoyed my early morning tour! At least my thwarted sleeping attempts weren't for naught. Flore, next time, j'ecoute de Jacques!

    Duchesse, I'm here until the New Year. So now it's a matter of duking it out with the shorter, colder days.

  8. Wow, you are so cool. I do not have the energy to get out of bed at 6 AM and wander the streets - even if I am awake! But these dreamy photos make me wonder why I don't. Thanks, Amy. Lovely post!
