We spent a pleasant few hours roaming about Lagny-sur-Marne along with the rain, wind, and cold. Cold is relative, being in the thirties and forties Fahrenheit here in France feels comfortable by comparison to how it was at home recently. By the way, always bring a red umbrella when traveling to spice up either yours or another photographer's image.
It's quite a challenge at first getting around. The signage is confusing to me and I don't understand the language very well but, I will muddle by and things will get easier.
Pedestrian traffic was very light in this weather.
Surprising to me how few people carried umbrellas of any type or color.
Fresh produce is never far away.......
....nor is a church, this is Paroisse de Lagny Notre Dame des Ardents, a 13th century construction formerly known as Saint Peter's abbey church.
It is amazing what folks could build a thousand years ago without modern tools and technology.
One of many beautiful stained glass windows.
This building was being remodeled and rather than covering it with drab plywood, they created a work of art to cover it up. Makes quite a statement on this traditional pedestrian-only street.
