Paris Reflet


If you go to Paris for the weather, I'd recommend another locale. Then again, you have to embrace the reflections!

Today, I"m happy to rejoin James' Weekend Reflections, right HERE! Click and see the gallery of all the lovely reflections that my photoblog friends share every weekend!

The Best Kept Secret in Paris


I have found that the city of Paris' Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine, is rarely on the To Do Lists of my friends visiting Paris. This is one of the most beautiful museums and can easily be added to your itinerary when you are at the Palais de Chaillot at Place du Trocadéro. It also offers commanding views of la Tour Eiffel from the expansive windows overlooking the Seine. The entrance fee is nominal and on free on the first Sunday of the month.

Les chérubins



This last November, Peter and I took another spin through one of my favorite resting places in Paris, Cimetière de Passy  I never fail to find lovely doors and stained glass windows there. Located just steps from Trocadéro, the residents have a commanding view of la Tour Eiffel. If you don't have many days to see Paris, I always suggest this as a wonderful alternative to the larger cemeteries.

The View


Last summer my friends Peter and Mary joined me for our first look at the rather newly reopened (2007) la Cite de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris. I've posted some previous photos here. Please click on the link to learn more about this amazing museum. Housed in the east wing of Palais de Chaillot, at the Place du Trocadéro, visitors are treated to this jaw dropping view from each of the soaring windows that face the Seine. Decidedly one of the best in town. After we had covered every inch of the museum , we had some refreshment from the small café and sat out on the terrace. There we found we had the same fabulous view as the much pricier restaurant across the way. You'll thank me for this tip one day! :)
