Deux Chaises

The only thing missing is the bottle of champagne. 

A Toast

In January I snapped this shot our last night in Paris as we had one final bottle of champagne. Good memories.

Last week friends Mary and Michele zipped off to Paris.  Peter provided the obligatory bottle champagne and they took this photo for me with the caption, "A toast to an absent friend."  Good friends.

Champagne!

My last day in Paris, while having lunch, I turned around and spotted this lovely bowl of champagne chilled and ready to pop.  Le sigh.......

Bonne année !

Champagne Pour Tout le Monde

A late summer afternoon, friends gather at the Palais Royal and share some bubbly.  C'est Paris!!

( Je voudrais un verre de champagne aussi!)*

* For those who know me well, you will cackle at this.  I put that sentence together without ANY help! 

It's all about priorities when you're learning a language, n'est-ce pas?

Bienvenue `a Paris

Place des Vosges

What better way to start my first day in Paris. Merci Peter!

BLOG WARNING: This poor Alabama laptop doesn't know which end's up. Paris time, B'ham time it's totally confused. Therefore, posts will show up when I feel like it and when the computer feels like it. Stay on your toes!

Le Train Bleu

Monday, Starman asked if I had lunch or dinner here at le Train Bleu. I replied that I'd not dined but enjoyed a glass or two of champagne in this beautiful place last summer. I decided I'd post this photo to prove it! Located in the Gare de Lyon, it is over the top gorgeous. I highly recommend it.

While we have the champagne out, let's just drink a little birthday toast to our friend Peter! Joyeux anniversaire mon ami!

Pop the Corks!

Salut! I've saved this nice selection especially for you this New Year's Eve.

This is Legrand Filles & Fils, located at 1 rue de la Banque in the 2ème, it's a wonderful place to visit and perhaps select some nice wine, liquor, candy or even a thimble sized bottle of Heinz ketchup at a champagne prix!!!

When I get to Paris, I promise I will toast you all with a glass of champagne ( but probably not this pricey!)

Bonne Année !

If you're craving some real Heinz ketchup for those frites, you'll pay 2.16 usd for this doll sized bottle. Oh just wait till you get home. There are too many divine things to taste in Paris!!!
