Dear Readers,
I am happy to announce a new regular feature, Eye Prefer Paris Tours Photos. These are photos my tour clients have taken of special places I have taken them to. Many of them are very serious amateur but borderline professional photographers. I have been impressed with their sophisticated, state of the art cameras and fancy lenses, along with their passion for photography, but most of all their beautiful and sometimes funny photos.
Duke Ferguson from the Chicago area, along with his father Dan and his father’s friend Ron, did a Marais & Ile St. Louis tour before they left for Africa on a safari. They were as nice as can be and we had a joyful time exploring historic buildings, literally smelling the roses in parks & gardens, and eating our way through food shops.
The top photo is of Duke digging the pastries at Gerard Mulot.
I look forward to your comments about these wonderful photos.

I am pleased as punch to announce the launch of Eye Prefer Paris Tours, which are 3-hour walking tours I will personally be leading. The Eye Prefer Paris Tour
includes many of the places I have written about such as small museums & galleries, restaurants, cafes & food markets, secret addresses, fashion & home boutiques, parks, and much more.
I look forward to meeting you on my tours and it will be my pleasure and delight to show you my insiders Paris.
Check it out at www.eyepreferparistours.com
Great idea to start this new section.
The photos with the musicians playing is awesome! I live in Paris but never seen guys playing music like that in the street.
I want to make a stupid joke about the fact that "Duke" took the photo and these guys seem to be playing jazz...well ... sorry couldn't help it:)

Love your site and the fabulous photos. I would love to know where they were all taken so when I return to Paris, November I hope, I can visit these spots. Merci!
