La maison rose de la Butte Montmartre

With a bright blue sky here, it would have been a perfect photo, I think
I put a brighter sky, but it is seldom bright in Paris
One takes what one can get, I suppose, but I wonder if this is a beneficial element. Nice picture, regardless. I hope things quieten down soon.
La maison rose de la Butte Montmartre by Julie70.
One of my very first images on flickr has almost 9000 view already!

I lived 20 years not far from the rose house on butte Montmartre, the impressionists painted. At their time it was still a village, a cheap one, not part of Paris, now "in" for the last years.

J'y habité vingt ans dans le temps, pas loin de là. J'y rêve encore. J'y retourne toujours avec nostalgie sur la Butte Montmartre. Un des coins paint des impressionistes, il y a plus de cent ans.

Paris, France

Une de mes premières images mis sur la site Flick
======

I have lived near it for 23 years and now, I go back every time with nostalgie, this house has been painted hundred years ago by impressionist painters and now is a restaurant as I remember 
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

great picture!
But....
it already has 8 people calling it a favorite.
Would you do me a favour and move it to the 5-10 favorites pool (http://www.flickr.com/groups/28531369@N00/) & put another of your great photos in the 1-5 pool?
:D
And did I get that right? You lived there over the years for 20 years?
Nice place to live. Looks peaceful :)!

Thanks for commenting on my Pond Reflections photo. In response to your question; I boosted the exposure a bit and enhanced the colours slightly to make them a little more vibrant.

Thanks, AntyDiluvian for publishing that photo,

I think it was repainted rose, because one time, when it was rose, it got painted by one of the famous impressionists painters.

You are so lucky to have lived nearby to la Maison Rose for all those years. I went to Paris in 2003 and dined at this restaurant on my last night, so it holds a special place in my heart.
I have blogged this photo on my blogspace. Please let me know if that's not ok.

Adrian, I could "edit out" the part of the car but I cannt crop the image, because it would be desequilibrated then, it needs some place on that side you put the note, and no, it is never "clean" as in the old picture this days that place, now it is worse, they added a lamp and other things to it.

Simo-Otto, thanks for the picture of how it looked 82 years ago.

Coucou Julie, pour ta belle maison rose

C'est une petite maison rose
Fraiche en été, douce l'hiver
A l'intérieur des fleurs de prose
Avant d'être bouquets en vers

Sur le seuil elle vous attend
Vêtue de sourire et de miel
Et vous voguez sur son étang
Et vous ne quittez plus son ciel

C'est une petite maison rose
Douce l'hiver, fraiche en été
A l'intérieur gravitent ces choses
Chargées d'émotions du passé

Dans son asile, elle vous attend
Vêtue de douceur et tendresse
Et vous riez comme un enfant
D'un souvenir que le temps laisse

C'est une petite maison rose
Fraiche en été, douce l'hiver
Sur son volet un coeur se pose
Puis grave son nom sur la pierre

Dans son combat, elle vous attend
Vêtue de force et de tristesse
Et vous pleurez comme un enfant
D'un souvenir que le temps blesse

C'est une petite maison rose
Douce l'hiver, fraiche en été
A l'intérieur personne n'ose
Déranger l'âme du passé

Sur le départ elle vous attend
Vêtue de sourire et de miel
Et vous voguez sur son étang
Et vous ne quittez plus son ciel

Fantastique! Et probablement, ce n'est pas la seule maison rose, mais en lisant ses vers, la maison prend de la magie et une être vétu - dans mon imagination à moi - seulement de douceur et tendresse attend et laisse une merveilleuse souvenir inoubliable, même si par la suite, elle attend vêtue de force et tristesse et d'un souvenir qui n'est plus tout rose.

Elle attend vêtue de sourire et de miel! Avec patience et tendresse.

Merci Rom, pour ses vers inoubliables!

"That is a small rose house
Cool in summer, mild the winter
Inside flowers of prose
Before becoming poems

She is waiting for you one the doorstep
Dressed in smile and tenderness
And you swimm on her lake
And you dont quit any more her sky"

Of course, one cannt translate a wonderfully written poem by Rom, I just wanted to give a small taste of it, for a poem like this, so full of tenderness and so maestfully written, it is worth to learn french
