Marcel Burger - Third time's the charm

The Louvre and its pyramid, March 2023.

Choosing the featured image of Paris is not as easy as it seems. The French capital has many great locations, and I have seen many of those multiple times in the past decades. Despite the visits, November 2025 marks the first publication of some of the photos I took—starting with some snapshots taken with my mobile phone in March 2023. Gradually, I will expand this series with more, from earlier trips as well.

As a story, Paris does need much in words. Well-known, city of love, city of lights. Join me on my count-down through the various districts, arrondissements, of Paris.
