Jane: that is a good question! In any case, each quartier determines and finances its own decorations.
Devoted Classicist: Thank you for your comment. Th place Vendome is particularly beautiful and harmonious spot. I hope to snap the place de la Concorde one evening; the decorations are very different and very pretty there too!
Les choses nous rendent regard pour regard. Elles nous paraissent indifférentes parce ce que nous les
regardons d'un regard indifférent. Mais pour un oeil clair, tout est miroir; pour un regard sincère et
grave, tout est profondeur. Objects return our gazes look for look. They seem indifferent to us because we look on them
indifferently. But for the eye that sees clearly, everything is a mirror; for a sincere and mindful observer,
everything is profound.BACHELARD

more snowflakes-much preferred to the ones dressing the ave in my little hometown-well--- we can't All be Paris.
Hometown sounds so cosy. Can't we say Paris is a bit of a hometown for all those who love the arts?!
I wonder who designed those lovely "snowflake" lights? They're so effective even during daylight.
How lovely! The stylish decorations are appropriately secular for this location, one of the most beautiful of so many fabulous locations in Paris.

So nice to have a reporter in Paris! One does not have to squint one's eyes too much to see New Orleans.
ps Have you read Stealing Magnolias yet? You would be the perfect reviewer!
