Here are a few of my photos - I didn't take ones that are better found on postcards but of things that appealed to me - in no particular order (mainly because it would take too long to get them into any semblance of order and too because I am suffering from a sore throat and the beginnings of a cold and just don't feel like it!)
Note the blue sky - this was Friday morning
View over Paris from Sacre Coeur on Friday afternoon when it had clouded over
Pretty little French shop on the Isle St Louis
Typical French Underground sign - somehow more exciting and interesting looking than the London ones especially with that blue sky background!
Famous cabaret place in Montmartre called Lapin Agile for more info on why it's called that click on the link.
This place is supposed to sell the best ice-cream in Paris but as it was so very cold we didn't try it so I can't tell you if this is true!
Where Heloise and Abelard lived on the Isle de St Louis click on the link for their tragic love story.
Most of the large houses, or hotels as they are called, in Paris don't have gardens but these intriguing courtyards instead
This fantastic house on the Isle St Louis has been bought by an Arab royal and it is hoped that it will be renovated in keeping with its original style - it would certainly make a magnificent place to entertain dignitaries as well as friends!

Typical French electircs in some of these old places! Don't touch!!!
What lovely photo's - it bought back memories of when my husband and I went pre-children! I like the idea of Paris on foot.

ReplyDeleteI feel a bit awful for never having known the full story of H and A before - just knew of them as a reference. What a trajic but beautiful story.
