Big Mac On Heat

Big Mac On Heat, originally uploaded by Paris Set Me Free.

Guess where... Did you guess? A McDonalds restaurant next to a
friendly neighbourhood porn cinema...

Yes, that's right - it's Paris and it's Pigalle - did you get it
right? Great! Here, have this plastic Eiffel Tower keyring as a prize!

Oh, and if you hurry, there's a free Big Mac on offer for every entry
to 'Big Girls On Heat' purchased...

Need A Leak?

Need A Leak?, originally uploaded by Paris Set Me Free.

Ultra-modern RER line E is one of the jewels in the crown of the Paris
transport system.

Sleek new trains whizz by, the stylish design really catches the eye,
the high-tech feel of the place certainly impresses, and the, errr...
red plastic buckets slap-bang in the middle of the platforms catch the
drips from the leaky roofs...

Glad to see reality hasn't been entirely suspended.

Sacré Bleu

Sacré Bleu, originally uploaded by Paris Set Me Free.

A dull old photo of Sacré Coeur wasn't doing much for me this Easter
Monday morning, so i sabicalised it!

Montmartre was crawling with tourists and pilgrims yesterday and i
didn't venture inside, contenting myself with the gargoyles and the
grime. Honestly, it's really grimy round the back, go take a look!

Draw Me A Democracy

Draw Me A Democracy, originally uploaded by Paris Set Me Free.

In a paraphrased quote from the classic 'The Little Prince', Paris street
artist Jérôme Mesnager illustrates one of the three French principles: liberté,
egalité, fraternité.

Jérôme has painted his iconic boneman all over Paris for many years
now, and i'm always happy when i discover another of his works during
a Parisian ramble.

Heading Home

Heading Home, originally uploaded by Paris Set Me Free.

Late night fatigue on both sides of the train window as we chugg
through sombre Châtelet Les Halles on the way south on the RER Line B.

This train station always fascinates for its many sides, whether
unsettling or insalubrious, disquieting and never quite relaxing.

With Love From Paris

With Love From Paris, originally uploaded by Paris Set Me Free.

Well yes, i know it's an ad for a money transfer company, but once you
get rid of the logo it's quite a positive image to come across in the
chilly boulevards of the French capital.

The caption on the poster asks 'Can one send love? - Yes!' and i'll
try to send you a little bit of mine, or Paris's, in perhaps the only
way i can: with a stolen image.

Inevitable Culture Crash

Inevitable Culture Crash, originally uploaded by Paris Set Me Free.

For all its banality and ordinariness, i've gotta love my local train
station for its originality sometimes. Due more to the local lads and
this photographer's seery eye than any official intention of course.
