Those places are scarce and people who know about them don’t advertise them, so that they do not end up on tourist guides, but having been born and raised in Paris, I know about them. This is one. Outrageously expensive, as can be expected, even though the area outside of this particular neighborhood is not especially nice...The EXIF (*) on this photo are gone, but scattered notes lead me to believe it was taken with a D700 and a Nikkor 14-24mm, ƒ/2.8 G. Handheld, of course.(*): If you see the name “Lupin” or “Arsène Lupin” in the EXIF, don’t worry: it is because I take most of the photos I post here off my Flickr account, and further to unfortunate events with a previous account using my real name, which had to lead to the deletion of that account, I chose the name of the famous gentleman-burglar as my Flickr handle —a bit like “Blue439” here, for which I see no one has come up with any explanation yet... although it should be right up your alley, guys... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Jus’ sayin’...[ATTACH=full]411958[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
