Afternoon at le Train Bleu

A drink at le Train Bleu at Gare de Lyon is very special. 

Ma nouvelle maison?

Rue Crémieux, near Gare de Lyon, is probably one of the most colorful and charming streets in Paris. Peter and I explored this in 2009 and after a very long, long day of walking, he lured me back for another photo shoot. How could I resist!  Mary and I agreed that this flat, with the chat noir was meant for us!

Waiting in Paris

Late afternoon at Gare de Lyon's elegant Le Train Bleu, this waiter was very busy passing out apéros to thirsty patrons.

There are many reasons for a visit to Le Train Bleu at Gare de Lyon.  This might be just a very good one!

Monsieur Google was kind enough to translate this.  We all know that as available as he is, he can be a titch "off the mark". I welcome corrections for "All Aboard!"  

My thanks to Véronique who so  kindly corrected the title for me. I've made the change!

The Time Has Come....

Gare de Lyon

to say , "Au revoir Paris" once more. I was blessed with a ticket back to the city j'adore from a dear reader and friend. I tried to squeeze every last minute out of every single day for him. I leave as I always do, with a heavy heart, but take home so many wonderful memories of old and new places and friends that made this yet another series of Paris moments I won't forget. I will cherish them and relish revisiting them with you each day.

Monday, Starman asked if I had lunch or dinner here at le Train Bleu. I replied that I'd not dined but enjoyed a glass or two of champagne in this beautiful place last summer. I decided I'd post this photo to prove it! Located in the Gare de Lyon, it is over the top gorgeous. I highly recommend it.

While we have the champagne out, let's just drink a little birthday toast to our friend Peter! Joyeux anniversaire mon ami!

The Faces of Paris

Today I'm featuring a piece of garden art on my Birmingham blog. It reminded me so much of the lovely faces I've found over windows and doorways in Paris. The top photo was taken just down the street from the Galerie des Gobelins. The photo below I found at the gorgeous Gare de Lyon.

Gare Lyon is a lovely old railroad station full of charm. A glass of champagne in the beautiful dining room of Le Train Bleu made it even more special. I regret I cannot give lots of details here. I am now in the French countryside and experiencing internet problems. I add a link to Peter's very thorough previous blog here.
