A Stop for French Fries

After a long walk in Paris what is better than some French fried, juice for the kids, a glass of wine for the parents. I thought it was nice that they let us order fries only. A perfect snack!

Place Saint Sulpice in May

And this is what Paris looked like on that first day of May. Love the pink chestnut trees at Place Saint Sulpice.

And by the way, the 2 kids were fairly young. 6 and 3 1/2 if I remember correctly. They were good sports, walked a lot, did not complain, very cooperative and well mannered. Actually I wanted to take them home !

Happy new year 2009

As the year begins, I want to thank those who walked with me in Paris.  Each visitor makes me see Paris in a different way and I am grateful for that. Here are a few of the 2009 visitors. Selection is made according to what is available to me at the moment…
