Hi all 👋🏻
With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.
‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in! or at @tattoodjay ’s Post here: “Wednesday Walk at the Port“
It tells you also the rules of joining in, at the end of his post 😁
Of course you know by now I have been in Paris, France 🇫🇷 Beginning of this beautiful month of July.
As I made 1768 photos, some days more than 500 photos, I continue to only post some highlights per day and when there are too many… LIKE TODAY… it will be in 2 parts 😉🤩 so today I show you PART 1 of the SECOND day.
Today’s selection will be of 41 photos, where I take you through off the beaten paths in Paris 😎 in the 11th and 20th Arr. /District.
My Photos are all taken with my iPhone on 2 July 2022
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are walking along with me 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Through the streets of this amazing city Paris 😊
The entire day walk was only 14 km, this part 1 will be half of it. Kinda…
The first day you can find here if you missed it:

Let’s start our walk for today… are you coming with me?
Did you bring water? No, ok… don’t worry I know some water fountains along the way 😉
I haven’t shown you the view out of the hotel room… so here you go. Look at the majestic buildings across the street. This is in the 10th Arr. /District.
After we met up outside… we start our walk. Not having a real goal to go somewhere or see a large monument. We just see where the day takes us 😎
We come across some #StreetArt, it is a fun piece.
Look there, all the way up on the wall. I point to you walking further.
Such creativity. Pretty cool 😎
We reached the 11th Arr. /District now. And we bumped into a friendly local. He agreed to show a friend’s place. More specifically… the courtyard of a Parisian building complex.
We enter a large door… and we walk quietly to the back. And see everywhere green. Plants, flowers and even trees. Hidden away from all. Only known by the people living there. In busy Paris. 😎
We see little parts, like a back garden at each house.
Look how cute. Yep I could spend some time here, don’t you think?
We say thank you to the kind person for showing us and we walk along… 👋🏻👋🏻😊
After finding a gate in the 20th Arr. /District, and a little sign saying: there is a little pathway… passage de Ménilmontant.
We enter and walk down some steps. We are in the back of some social housing complexes… on the border between districts. Where a train/ tram used to go… 🚂
It’s an interesting place that allows us to cut a large part crossing districts.
So much green here. We walk in the train tracks.
Of course we have to look at some details… we gooooo down to capture it all 😎📸
So refreshing to see so much nature, in a big city!
Our views walking further until we notice a path in the left before this container.
We are walking along and notice this sign.
NOTRE DAME DE LA CROIX
Yes, there is another church in Paris with this famous name… most don’t know about.
Let’s go inside and have a look around:
The door way on the side of the church we enter.
Walking up these stairs… we notice right away, it is nice and fresh. How lovely. 😊
Entering the church…
It is massive… and beautiful.
Let’s walk around.
The ceiling looks like it contains out of steel ribs.
On the walls very large paintings, we have a look at them. They tower high above us.
Beautiful.
The middle of the church.
Looking to the main entrance… exit.
Waiting for a moment other people leave 🤓😎
An altar in the back.
The large paintings next to it.
The opposite side.
We walk out and have this view after we reach the bottom of the steps.
It’s a beautiful church, too bad it is not that well known as it looks like it does need some repair work doing.
Zooming out more…
The sign on the gate.
Let’s walk further… we go through more back streets from the 20th Arr. It is so quiet here… lovely to be away from all the hustle and bustle.
We see a large park now and enter…
Let us rest for a moment in the shade on that bench… we deserve it before we go further.
Do you see the water fountain? To the left of the child. Let’s drink some water… it is so nice and cool. Truly fresh.
We watch the world go by for some moments… as we have to climb some steps… are you ready for it? We are going up the mountain now 😎😊
Ok, let’s go… half way up we look back. Beautiful… the covered path going up.
Reaching the top, there are more paths and benches everywhere. A stunning place to spend some hours for sure. In the shade of the trees that provide much needed cooler air.
Our view down below the path… grass area where you can play and rest.
If you need some more water after climbing the steps up the mountain… here you go. Another water fountain. 😊
Let’s look around. 🥰🥰🥰 stunning views over Paris.
Zooming out a bit… what a great place!
We walk further and see the Eiffel Tower next to us, popping through the trees… do you see it?
Walking down hidden alleyways…
My favourite view of the entire day 🤩
Hope you enjoyed going along with me on this part… off the beaten path route… we will continue next Wednesday with part 2 from here.
And that’s all for today! Stay tuned for more Paris related content 👋🏻😁😉 Until next time 😎
