Paris streets

I live in the countryside where everything is very quiet and slow during the day and at night the only sound you hear is the occasional hoot of an owl or the cry of a fox. I love going to cities and just watching and absorbing the atmosphere - people in a rush, people sitting in cafes, things happening everywhere and looking up is a feast for the eyes at all times.I think being in Paris is all about watching and listening, and one of the best places to watch was around the fountains in the Tuilleries at lunchtime. Every chair was taken and I just sat absorbing the atmosphere.

I was transfixed by these boys on roller blades playing tag.

They went round and around at speed and then chased each other but they were all in their own worlds listening to their headphones, it's again something you don't see here in the countryside.
