CDP Theme Day – Blue : Bleu
This month’s City Daily Photo theme is blue, so here we have blue sky and blue water – the Loire – during the last day of an unusual heatwave with temperatures well into the thirties every day. Today we are back to normal! The skyline is Blois with the castle and church of Saint Nicolas on …

CDP Theme Day – Motion
I thought this photo was a good illustration of motion, the City Daily Photo theme this month. The baker’s assistant had to duck as the baker removed the bread from the oven during Bread Baking Day.

CDP Theme Day: Let's Eat – Mangeons !
As a French blog, I feel rather challenged by a subject about food. In the end I decided to illustrate a recent tradition in French cuisine – the café gourmand, which is a coffee served at the end of the meal with a selection of mini-desserts according to the chef’s whim. From left to right, we …
