Paris is a city you walk. The Métro gets you to the corner; the rest is on foot, and the rest is the point. These photographs were made that way, over a few days in September: doors and their ironwork, the Louvre from outside and in, the Seine, and the pavement underfoot.

A corner, a Métro sign, and the first light of the morning.

A street narrowing toward the sun.

Haussmann’s Paris: the corner building, the balconies, the trees.

The allée in the Tuileries.

The Louvre is a palace before it is a museum, and the pyramid is the one modern thing allowed in its courtyard. From below, the old stone shows through the glass; from the stair inside, the sky.

![Under the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b4/31/b4313ab3-7e6f-4f96-b826-1423fc691a06/content/images/2026/10/02_journey-out-east-paris-028.jpg)

Inside the pyramid: the stair, the glass, the sky.

A colonnade across the avenue.

The Arc de Triomphe.

What stays is not the monuments. It is the particular blue of a door and the lion on it, a car parked where a car has always been parked, and a date stamped into a paving stone, which is as good a souvenir as any.
