L'amour des annes 70

I love images of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. They're real, in love and so stylish it hurts.

This Russian blog has plenty more lovely images, the photographs above are some of my favorites.

Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis.

You moved from Boston to Paris into a little apartment on the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis. I showed you our neighborhood, my bars, my school. I introduced you to my friends, my parents. I listened to your texts, your singing, your hopes, your desires, your music. You listened to mine. My Italian, my German, a bit of Russian. I gave you a walkman. You gave me a pillow. And one day, you kissed me. Time went by, time flew and everything seemed so easy, so simple, so free, so new, so unique. We went to the movies, we went dancing, we went shopping, we laughed, you cried, we swam, we smoked, we shaved,you screamed, sometimes for a reason, sometimes for no reason. Yes, sometimes for a reason. I brought you to the academy, I studied for my exams, I listened to your singing, to your hopes, your desires, your music. You listened to mine. We were close, so close, ever so close. We went to the movies, we swam, we laughed. Time went by, time flew. I brought you to the academy, I studied for my exams. You listened to my Italian, German, Russian, French. I studied for my exams. You screamed, sometimes for a reason. Time went by for no reason. You screamed for no reason. I studied for my exams, my exams, my exams. Time went by, you screamed, you screamed, you screamed. I went to the movies.

From Faubourg-Saint Denis of Paris Je t'Aime.


Paris Je t'Aime is a collection of short films about love in Paris. Each short film takes place in a different arrondissement, or neighborhood, of Paris. Faubourg-Saint Denis is a street in the 10th arrondissement and the story that unfolds there has my heart. I've written about it before...but here it is again.
I really feel connected to this bit of film since Francine moves from Boston to Paris. Just a small coincidence, but a beaut one.
