Just home from France. We spent the first part of our trip in fabulous Paris! The Eiffel Tower is huge and breathtaking.
and visible from quite a distance
A quick break then onto Notre Dame.

And here's a short video I took...while we sat in a cafe waiting for our breakfast. One could spend hours and hours in sidewalk cafes...and we did.
Tomorrow, more on our trip to France!
Lovely pix, Jane,
ReplyDeleteI must say, I am quite envious.
Love the photos and your sketch of Notre Dame.

Oh my, how I long to go back I was there about 6 years ago with my daughter who is a French teacher, perfect. However, not quite the city for someone who is celiac and lactose intolerant! Maybe I will participate in another of your European adventures Jane (and Don). However will see you in Taos next summer! Excited for that!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures and love your sketchbook, can't wait to see more of it...dreaming of Paris now...
ReplyDeleteSuch fabulous pictures! Thanks for sharing so we can sort of live vicariously thru your photos! And I pretended I was sitting in that cafe with you!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love your yoga in public places and those beautiful coffee breaks and snacks! Paris isn't too shabby, either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting me in the mood Jane. We are off to Paris next month!
ReplyDeleteMerci bien for the wonderful pics Jane! It brings back many happy memories for me. I must say that for as many times as I've been in Paris I have yet to see the Musee D'Orsay, along with other landmarks. I could sit at a cafe endlessly too-and aren't the pastries positively THE best?? Love your yoga pose pics-what fun! Your sketch of Notre Dame is beautiful. I'm looking forward to your next post!
ReplyDeleteTres bon, mon amie! AH Paris. There is nowhere quite like it.
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos- reminds me of my trip last year. Looking forward to seeing some of your sketches
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder of Paris. I lived there in the 70s and remember when the Musee D'Orsay opened.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!! Can't wait to experience it for myself. Girls trip next July - renting an apt. - bringing sketchbook and paints. Sooo anticipating it. Thanks for getting me more excited than ever!!
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories of my trip to Paris last year!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your sketches!!
