Paris je t'aime - A Photo Story


















Paris je t'aime
A photo story
DhakaLive’s Faizul Khan Tanim fell in love with Paris when he was in the most romantic city in the world. Inspired by Raana Haider’s book, Parisian Portraits, he weaves a visual homage dedicated to Paris that speaks of its enchantment. Like a lover remembers every little thing about his beloved, these photos are the fond memories of stolen moments in Paris.
So we see the Place de la République, then to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre where he was enchanted by the Mona Lisa, after that to Notre Dame Cathedral’s gothic wonders, caught the view from Sacré-Coeur and went down to gaze at the central Avenue des Champs Elysess, a peek into Moulin Rouge and a drink at the Hard Rock Café, then it was off again to discover hidden layers of the city with a cruise down the Seine, and a browse in the charming bookshop, Shakespeare & Co, which compelled him to stop at a typical Parisian café. The love affair ends appropriately with a walk in the place where many iconic men and women like Jim Morrison were laid to rest, the cemetery of Pere Lachaise.
