the first Irises bloom.
Cheering whoever listens, "Spring is near!"
Oh at last.
This winter with its dreadful notes left behind...
Spring comes!
How I long for you!

The opening to Rue de Lappe.
It was full of colorful shops, mostly restaurants and bars and I’m sure it is heavily visited when there isn’t a quarantine going on but it was still full of people on this sunny Saturday.
Now an Asian food place but as you can see by this sign, once a Aurillat restaurant.
I bet this was a fun bar.
A florist of course.Tags: Travel, Photos, Paris, Bastille, rue de Lappe 67 people like this.
