My routine became strangely normal: flying from London to Paris at the start of each week, working long hours, then returning home a few days later to repeat the process again the following Sunday. From Sunday night to Wednesday I stayed at the Trianon Palace Hotel beside the grounds of Versailles, often with a room overlooking the palace gardens themselves.<br /> <br /> Those were intense years during the height of the telecoms boom: early starts, late returns to the hotel and the constant pace of demanding work.<br /> <br /> Versailles was always there in the background, just beyond the window or at the end of the road, but it remained strangely separate from the rhythm of everyday life. I saw the gardens countless times in passing, yet never properly entered them. The palace became wallpaper rather than destination.<br /> <br /> More than twenty years later, we returned to Paris and finally spent a day wandering through the palace, the gardens, the Grand Trianon and the Petit Trianon.<br /> <br /> This photograph was taken looking outward across the formal landscape that had once sat just beyond my hotel window all those years earlier.<br /> <br /> The framing and softness of the image felt appropriate to the memory itself: not a sharp documentary record, but something more reflective and distant.<br /> <br /> A view long familiar, yet somehow never fully experienced until now.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/200940948@N08/">wojciech g</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/200940948@N08/55256989215/" title="L1200084-------"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55256989215_afc96ff26f_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="L1200084-------" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/p_wayser/">Pierre Wayser</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/p_wayser/6154243898/" title="_DSC3057"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/6154243898_9da436321b_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="_DSC3057" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/p_wayser/sets/72157604469796745/">Paris</a><br /> 2011 Paris</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/152230369@N08/">AKMC Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/152230369@N08/55256717909/" title="190911_132207_1978 First Time On The Ground In Paris (Wed 11 Sep 2019)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55256717909_4f41f3f06d_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="190911_132207_1978 First Time On The Ground In Paris (Wed 11 Sep 2019)" /></a></p> <p><b>Gare Du Nord Railway Station, 10th Arrondissement, Paris, France</b><br /> <br /> So we finally got off the Eurostar. I had already decided where we were going to go for lunch. But first, to take my very first &quot;on the ground&quot; shot in Paris. This is the left-hand side of the Gare Du Nord train station, which services trains coming into Paris from the north. That includes from England, the Netherlands, Belgium and so on.<br /> <br /> More specifically, it is the taxi stand just outside the station. You may be told by <b><i>SOME</i></b> people that all of the taxi drivers who come here speak English because there are so many English people arriving on the train. Or were, in the pre-Covid days. Do not believe them. However that's a story for another time.<br /> <br /> Incidentally, bring your poker face when you arrive at this station because you will be touted to hell and back by private &quot;taxis&quot; who want to &quot;help&quot; you to reach your destination, probably at a far higher cost than you had bargained for because you're a dumb tourist who does not speak the local language. I suggest sticking to the official taxi stand. If you don't palez francais, having a pre-written note with your destination and a map would also be a wise move.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/159407874@N07/">MU4797</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/159407874@N07/55256445441/" title="EUROPEAN SLEEPER 474 - D_1657_0100740"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55256445441_05d8cba7c7_m.jpg" width="240" height="157" alt="EUROPEAN SLEEPER 474 - D_1657_0100740" /></a></p> <p>Eurostar PBA 4537<br /> <br /> EUROPEAN SLEEPER 474<br /> Berlin Hbf - Bruxelles Midi - Paris Nord<br /> <br /> Railpool TRAINCHARTER Traxx 188 144<br /> <br /> Brussel Zuid<br /> 14.04.2026</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/mirjam_bosselaar/">=Mirjam=</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/mirjam_bosselaar/55256867570/" title="Promenade dans le parc"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55256867570_f2de6d1856_m.jpg" width="222" height="240" alt="Promenade dans le parc" /></a></p> <p>HFF</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/damiano-cer/">dddamiano</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/damiano-cer/55256571939/" title=""><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55256571939_73a0abe350_m.jpg" width="237" height="240" alt="" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/119315757@N06/">Monde-Auto Passion Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/119315757@N06/55256407938/" title="Ferrari F50 1997"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55256407938_db1a17c44b_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Ferrari F50 1997" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ch2-9236/">Chris Ti Yan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ch2-9236/55256387718/" title="Nourrir une table , 1959"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55256387718_28a79b963b_m.jpg" width="240" height="204" alt="Nourrir une table , 1959" /></a></p> <p>À la différence de nombreuses féministes décrivant la maison comme une prison, Eleonora Carrington considère le foyer, en particulier la cuisine, comme un territoire de création et d'expérimentation.
