Un bon souvenir

A sweet little memory of my second trip to Paris in November, 2008.

I Love Paris in November!

Paris in November. I love the bare trees, the fall color...tout!

Square du Vert-Galant

Square du Vert-Galant, located on the western tip of Île de la Cité at the Pont Neuf. It's lovely any time of year but especially in the fall. 

Le serpent

Gorgeous Virginia Creeper/Boston Ivy vines snake their way across every available surface in Paris. The green turns to beautiful shades of red, coral and yellow.

Les couleurs de l'automne

Strolling in the Marais, loving the ivy covered walls!

Paris Rouge - Les chaises et les vignes

Marché aux Puces in autumn, is even more colorful and charming!

Watchful

Keeping an eye on the comings and goings in Tuileries.

Paris je t'aime

I am getting there as fast as I can!!!!  There has never been a time when I needed Paris more than I do right now.

Le Troubadour

Montmartre is always a good idea but especially in autumn!

Les portal avec la plante grimpante

beautiful vines crawl and climb all over Paris. In the fall, they are spectacular. I expect some of my French experts will question my translation, but Monsieur Google says this is the term for a creeping vine. I welcome your thoughts.

La fille et les fleurs

Quick capture of this beautiful young woman, lost in thought at the Medici Fountain at Luxembourg Gardens.

Gilding the Lily

As if the majestic la Fontaine du Médicis isn't beautiful enough, they fill the urn to overflowing with golden mums. I think Paris in autumn is the best!

Automne, je t'adore

Those of  you who follow this blog and my trips to Paris, know by now that novembre is my new BFF. It's really the best of both worlds. You get fabulous fall color, the geraniums and other flowers. are still falling all over the balconies , and.......... wait for it............ you get the Christmas decorations in all the grands magasins. You will thank me one day of this tip. Today, Canal Saint Martin. So fabulous.

Paris Bleu - Vines and Shutters

I was so enamored with Paris in autumn, I could hardly pull my eye away and search for Christmas.

Table and Chair Series - Autumn Reflet

Outside Cru in the Village St. Paul, the golden leaves of autumn peaked around for a look!

La Seine à l'automne

To see Paris in her autumn splendor was a delight.  I am most grateful.

Automne à Paris - Fontaine Medicis

As many of you know, I've traveled to Paris in January for the last four years. It's easier for me to travel at that time but I have longed to see Paris in another season. This November trip, I found her in all her autumn splendor.  I'll be sharing some favorites for the next week or so. Today, a late afternoon stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg, and the leaves falling around the Medici Fountain, made it even more beautiful.
