A morning in Paris

For some Paris is a city of romance and light, but for me it is a city of nature where I can get a proper chocolate éclair. It’s a city with green trees on every corner and green plants on every balcony. Fresh food, bakeries and cafes, free from the homogenisation from brands, within walking distance of every home. It seems like a simple idea and yet one that does not seem to travel across the narrow waters of the English Channel. What it must be like to walk through streets with big trees for fresh bread.

A yellow teddybear appears to be driving a van.
A woman, with her back to the camera, wears a yellow skirt and black coat. On the left of the street is a Chinese resturant with red stylings.

A Paris street scene. On the right people sit outside a cafe. A biker drives past. In the distance a building has bushes growing off it.
A colourful Parisian street scene. There are two blue dolt bikes. Behind is a white cafe with yellow accents. There is a big green tree and resturants with red ornings.
