With my family, we were ambling back towards our hotel having just left Notre Dame when I saw the setting sun glancing off these buildings on the Rue de la Huchette in Paris. The Rue de la Huchette is one of the oldest in Paris though the origins of the name are obscured in time. Huchette may derive from ‘hutchet', an old term for a bugle or hunting horn, or from ‘huche', a box for keeping bread. Today the Rue de la Huchette is a pedestrianized street full of restaurants, mostly Greek, and souvenir shops – a tourist trap in other words.
The setting sun illuminates the buildings at the eastern end of the Rue de la Huchette.
