My walk to work takes about an hour. I can take the metro and get there in 20 minutes but on nice days like last Wednesday why go underground.
Avenue des Goblins
Place Italie
Adds in chinese on avenue d'Ivry. This is the largest China town in Paris, Avenues d'Ivry, Choisy and proximities. The stores have things I've never seen and the smeel of Chinese food can be pleasant and overwhelming.
Some boulangerie along the walk
The peripherique exterieur marks the exit from Paris and the entry to Ivry just outside the 13th arrondissement
This is Petit Ivry
My metro stop. Pierre and Marie Curie
The court yard of the Ateliers in Ivry-sur-Seine. It used to be a tannery

Great photos! And I think the Avenue des Goblins is the best street name, ever!

I went back and looked at the pictures again - that was fascinating! That is so interesting for those of us who live a world away. :)
