Street Scenes - Monday, 8 October

Tomorrow I head back to Minneapolis, so just a few more street scenes!

Every season is road construction season in Paris!  Barricades are up in front of my local little chapel (!), Basilique Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, to replace the pavement.




And I don't mean to put down some concrete or little bricks - take a look at these granite paving stones!




They need sturdy paving stones because the giant garbage trucks gotta make their way down even the most narrow streets!




Not all vehicles are monstrously heavy, though!  Notice the very large platform on the front of this bike. Some delivery vehicle! It could clearly accommodate a large crate or two.
