Le bateau

 It rains in Paris... embrace it and photograph it.

Vintage Pétanque

This well worn set of pétanque balls in its case was very tempting.  Being a carryon only girl, they were sadly out of the question. Je regrette.

Dimanche

Jardin du Luxembourg is the place to be on a Sunday in Paris.  This petite fille was enjoying the afternoon on her bike.

Cimetière de Saint Denis

 The former municipal cemetery in Saint Denis, proved to be just as beautiful as some of the more famous cemeteries in Paris.

Paris Rouge - Les damiers

This charming café in Butte aux Cailles, was all ready for the déjeuner crowd that would be arriving shortly.

Today I am pleased to join James' Weekend Reflections right HERE!

Les fourmis

The top of the Centre Pompidou offers a great view of Paris from above. Whether or not you choose to take in an exhibit there, be sure to zip to the top via the very cool outside escalator and have a look from above.

Les Lettres

If I had an ENORMOUS suitcase, I would purchase PARIS JE T'AIME in colorful letters for my home from Merci!

Paris Rouge - L'écharpe

Place des Vosges

Merci Monsieur!!

L'ascenseur

I've only done this once. If you're a bit claustrophobic, think twice

Wisteria

 As always, I thank Peter for taking me to an area of Paris I might never have found. Butte- aux -Cailles offers a charming look at an area of Paris many have not visited. I loved the townhouse flats. Butte aux Cailles is now one of my favorite photo haunts!

Après la pluie

Maman, enfant et Père

Fermé

At night, all the café chairs in Paris, stack themselves, one upon another and wait patiently until the sun comes up.

Dépêchez-vous!

Parisians always seem to be in a hurry. Moi, I like to stroll.

Place des Vosges

Très élégant

Restaurant du Palais Royal

I understand it is a place to visit. Have I dined there? Need you ask? Non.

Sucre

What a great bicycle to be tooling around Paris!

Passage du Parron

Another look at the Palais Royal arcade.

Deux Tasses

My Paris amies know exactly where this is, do you?

(This time I won't put tags that give away the answer!)

Singing for Euros

 

Singing her heart out on the steps of the Opéra Garnier, with a hat for euros. I hope she was discovered!

Les Couleurs de Paris

Found this in the Marais.  I am working on an exciting new project for French students. Stay tuned for more details as the project progresses.

Un garçon et une moto

First day in Paris and four year old Davis found the love of his life! 

Dimanche à Paris

Île de la Cité's Bird Market is always a good idea, open only on Sundays it's part of the Marché aux Fleurs. A lovely spot to walk through!

La Conversation

You supply the caption!

La jeune fille avec un bateau

 Jardin du Luxembourg

I am never disappointed when I stroll through this beautiful garden in Paris.

Bouquet de roses

Hôtel Costes, Roses Dani Roses, one of my most favorite fleuristes in Paris.

BON WEEKEND!

La Croix

Forgive me if I repeat myself,  but I really think Novembre might just be the best time to visit Paris. The vines, which we call Virginia Creeper here in the south, had turned such glorious colors that we found ourselves swooning over every courtyard. Could you blame us?

Beaux Chapeaux

Ultramod's millinery has an entire shop full of supplies to make the most scrumptious hats in Paris!

Beaucoup de choix

What is your choice? Pour moi...violette, pistache et caramel beurre salé!

So Much Fromage....

so little time.
