La fête nationale!

Forgive me for posting another photo from my 14,juillet, 2009 trip, but this was what I call, MY BEST NIGHT IN PARIS EVER! Shot from Pont Grenelle, with my dear friend Peter who chose this fabulous spot for photos. A Paris moment I will never forget. Vive la France!

Faire la fête!

 Another very special Paris memory

Bonjour 2012 !

Paris Rouge LVII - Fete Nationale!!!

Two years ago today, I was standing on a bridge in Paris with mon ami Peter watching la Tour Eiffel explode with this most glorious fireworks display. I've shared many images of that evening, but today the one that graces the back cover of Paris Rouge Through My Lens.  A treasured memory of what I think must be the most wonderful evening I've spent in Paris.

We have another raison de célebrer, our dear Genie at Paris and Beyond is celebrating her first blog birthday this very day.  I'm proud that I was present at the birthing last 14 juillet, and she and I have had such great fun blogging together this year. I think she's done a terrific job!! Joyeux anniversaire chère Genie!

Minuit à Paris

I missed a golden opportunity to use this title on Wednesday, but as luck would have it, I have another night shot.  Last night I FINALLY saw Wood Allen's Midnight in Paris , so of course this made the perfect post.  Did I love it?  Absolutement!   The story line is fun but the scenes of Paris are worth the price of admission.  I told my friends that the plot was the apéritif, but the Paris footage was the entrée and the dessert! I'm feeling a bit nostalgic tonight, the movie just made me miss Paris even more.
