Marly le Roi - Charmant I

Marly le Roi is so charming. I could have spent days there photographing. 

Marly le Roi - Un, deux,trois

For the next few days a little mini series. In 2012, Mary and I made a day trip by train to Vaucresson to visit a blog friend. Niki drove us to nearby Marly-le-Roi to photograph. It's a charming small town just 11 miles west of Paris. I hope you'll enjoy visiting this week.

Attrayant

Venture 18km west of Paris, and you'll find yourself in this charming village of Marly le Roi. 

Le Détail

Leaving the charming village of Marly le Roi, I spotted these small
iron figures on the wall, for fastening the shutters.  

Coiffure

This sign in Marly le Roi, was so charming, but I wonder what kind of coiffure I would have gotten in this small village??

Le Sous-Chef

Sadly not one of my 100 French Strangers.  I snapped this through the window of a small café in Marly le Roi.  He saw me and gave me a nice smile. Merci!

Le Balcon - Marly le Roi

Marly le Roi didn't have as many balconies with ironwork as Paris, but I found this one charming, although in need of a little care.

Orange et ocre

On a gray drizzly day in Marly le Roi, the ochre walls and orange shutters brightened this quaint little town.

Nicky and Florence

Last week while in Paris, Mary and I took the train from Gare Lazare to  Vaucresson, in the Paris burbs.  There we were met by blogger Nicky Berry and her jeune fille Florence.  I've followed Nicky's delightful blog Growing Berries, almost since she started it as a way to chronicle her family's new adventures living in France.  After lunch in their beautiful home, she drove us to Marly le Roi for a walkabout and photo bonanza.  It is always so much fun to meet other bloggers here and in France.  Merci Nicky and Florence for a lovely day with you both.

What could be better than getting your snail mail via a ROUGE mailbox?

I'm Home!

Marly le Roi, France

I am home from a wonderful nine days in Paris. Thank you all who faithfully stopped by and those that left comments while I was away.  I have many, many new photographs to share with you.

Today's photo is my Paris travel amie, Mary Gilbert.  About a year ago she started carrying a little Nikon point and shoot and has captured some very nice shots.  She has a great eye.  I think I created a monster.  Now as you can see, SHE'S the one lagging behind taking photos instead of me!!
