I don’t think that I could have taken any better image to depict why Paris is named the ‘City of Lights’ as during this dazzling sunset of late November, when fall colors were still holding the city into her golden coat.

Over the rooftops of the iconic Haussmann buildings, built during the 19th century by G.E. Haussmann, I stayed here, contemplating this city which never gets old, endlessly reinventing itself to survive through the ages.

I spent a long time wandering from a roof to an other, watching at the sunset bathing the city into its eternal golden light, while the streets were slowly switching to the night and turning on its artificial lightings.
