Wonderful selection of historic photos of Rue du Temple: www.parisrues.com/rues03/paris-avant-03-rue-du-temple.html

 

A great view of this ancient street around 1900: grossistetempleparis.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/13551361...

 

Another fascinating view. So many pedestrians and a few horse drawn carts: www.luminor-hoteldeville.com/fichier/image/031ruedutemple...

 

Red Lanterns on Rue du Temple!! One more reason to love Paris and France: a country that has accepted diverse cultures for centuries. How delightful to discover this scene as I was wandering around the Marais, at the end of the day, on Chinese New Year 2007. I had come to Paris to photograph historic cafes for a series I am working on, and was crossing through the Marais looking for motifs. I wasn't expecting this: Ancient China meets Rue du Temple in Paris!! Dear, lovely, fascinating Paris.....you are full of surprises!

Des lanternes rouges qui formaient une guirlande le long de la Rue du Temple......Quelle belle petite surprise! C'etait la nouvelle annee chinoise, et je me baladais dans le quartier du Marais, etant venue a Paris pour photographier des cafes historiques pour une serie. Je ne m'attendais pas du tout a cette scene si feerique! C'etait comme si la France avait encore une fois ouvert ses bras genereux: aujourd'hui c'etait une ancienne civilization qu'elle acceuillait.
