Le vélo

I know you photoshop guys out there would have taken out half of this photo. Non, non, et non.

Biking Across Paris

Renting a Vélib in Paris is a great idea. Most Parisians don't own a car and renting a Vélib is an economical and easy way to zip around Paris for a few euros. I will admit the thought of riding a bike on the streets of Paris terrifies me, but I'm in the faint of heart category. Don't listen to me. If you are fit and courageous, got for it. If you're not, join me on the Métro or bus!

L'école Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts

 

One of the many advantages of our location in Paris last November was being just a few doors from l'école Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, on rue Bonaparte.  Each time we walked past,  I peered through the gates but decided we wouldn't allowed inside.  Non! The day Peter joined us for a walk, he marched right through with Mary and me in tow.  I was a bit nervous that we might be thrown out on our ear, but Peter was right of course. We wandered about and took a zillion photos of this wonderful school. Thank you Peter for being our faithful guide and taking us to places in Paris we would not have the courage to find on our own.  There will be many more photos to come of this visit.

At The Risk.......

 of boring you silly with fall leaves in Paris...... I post yet another. I hope you will bear with me. I've not seen any color or leaves in Paris for about three years as I always visit in January. This trip was an absolute delight, filled with geraniums, Virginia Creeper and the fall leaves. I couldn't resist.

When You Push Doors...

at the Place des Vosges, you discover wonderful little courtyards with great old bikes leaning against great old walls! 

Paris Rouge - le vèlo

Rouge + vélo + classic Métro, need I say more?

Une journée dans le parc avec maman

Square du Temple, across from the city hall in the 3eme, is a charming little park that is obviously a place for the younger crowd to  meet and greet!

Le Tour de France......The Sequel

Bleu et un vélo

Rouge et un vélo

( SURELY a baby doesn't ride on that front seat!)

Pigeon et un vélo

( Don't let the pigeon ride the bike! My grandchildren will understand)

Apparently while I was busy photographing doors, strangers, everything rouge or bleu, etc. I picked up yet another fetish........ scooters and bikes. So here you go!
