And the sinks in this bathroom are super cool too, with everything suspended above an open "table" that slants into the center. Easy to use ad easy to clean!
I was in one of these fancy bathrooms at Charles de Gaulle several times last weekend when my son and I missed our connection to Atlanta after our flight arrived late to Paris from Venice, Italy. Unfortunately, I was too tired and upset over missing our flight to appreciate them! To add insult to injury, we had to spend the night at an airport hotel courtesy of Air France and had too little time to be able to even go into the city. I have been to Paris before, but my son had not and I wish we could have at least gone for a drive through the city for him. It was hard being so close, yet so far away!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Bonita fotografía e interesante lugar.
Un saludo desde Salamanca.
A good shade of red.
Only the French could have toilet doors that look like works of art.
Ravishing en rouge, V de B!

Lois, I can't imagine being so close and yet so far!
