Bon jour!
Yesterday was Bastille Day and I had hoped to do a post yesterday but other things took up my time..
So here goes a few snapshots taken around France, no need for too many words and will let the pictures do the work for me
To start with the iconic 2CV ... this one was fun, painted in blue, white and red
One of the highlights for me was staying and living like a Parisian for a week. We chose this apartment to stay, A la Carte apartments in the Marais Arrondissiment.
Situated on Rue de Ravioli, the street was busy with cars and people everywhere and this was the view looking out the window, beautiful beige buildings and leafy green trees in the park. We found this to be an ideal place to stay, with it been so handy to everywhere and pounded lots of cobblestone streets
Many very cute dogs - hopefully she can see where she is going
Rows of pretty pastel coloured apartments
To finish off, roses for the weekend ~
Memories for a lifetime
Thank you as always for joining me here and wishing you a very happy weekend
hugs
Carolyn

ReplyDeleteI cried when I heard of the attack in Nice yesterday evening. My heart goes out to everyone who had lost a loved one, got injured and is traumatized by this horrific act. I'm so sad.
ReplyDeleteSo awful and I feel exactly the same. What should have been a very happy day for the people turned out to be tragic.
DeleteMy heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the people too - thanks Julia.

ReplyDeleteLovely memories of peaceful times.
Indeed what a shocking terrorist attack on Bastille Day.

The puppy is darling and I don't know how they can see anything with so much hair in front of their eyes. My Mom had a dog like this before and she managed to see alright. Funny that they can get around. Smelling must be a part of their success.
ReplyDeletePeace to you,
