While we were in France, we visited a City called Provins and it was great to take a look around this Unesco world heritage site. Here are a few of my photos I took.
It was a rainy cold day, as we wandered around this charming, and interesting old place and we were grateful to duck into a little restaurant for lunch and to warm up a little.
It is well known for its medieval fortifications and well preserved City walls.

{From a rainy and cold winters day here now, and couldn't be more different from this morning, when it was fine enough for us to eat our brunch out on the deck.
I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend.
Many thanks for visiting me and I look forward to coming to see you.
hugs
Carolyn

Beautiful photos :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a superb Sunday x
Hi Carolyn, What lovely old buildings. It was a shame it was so cold while you were there.
ReplyDeleteHugs
CAROLYN! Isn't it fun to find a boulangerie and patîsserie anywhere in France? I remember even going to a petrol station that had the best looking patîsserie inside!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat charming buildings, non? Enjoy your day as you relax on this marvelous Sunday. OH! By the time you read this, you will probably be into Monday! Anita
Very beautiful old buildings. They would look pretty printed in black and white and framed. I posted pics of a black swan a couple of days ago and a few comments said they were common in Australia. Have you ever seen any? Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love France!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful city Provins is. I have never visited while in France.
So strange it's winter and cold in your part of the hemisphere. It's warm and sunny in Holland!
Happy week,

Provins is truly magical-it is amazing to see the old church at Christmas -but isn't it that way anywhere in France? Love your pictures -it take me back to our last visit there 3 years ago!
ReplyDeleteThank you Princess for visiting me and I can imagine the old church would look amazing at Christmas time.

Carolyn
Hi Carolyn, Your pics are so wonderful and the old world feel of the buildings are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love the old church. What a charming city.
Thank you for sharing. I hope you enjoyed a special Sunday and stay warm. We finally had some rain and it is so needed.
I posted for the Where Bloggers Create. Just had to participate and did not want to miss the 5th year. It feels to good to post something again. I so miss everyone and hope to try and be back in the fall.
Have a special eek my friend.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
I love the old world charm of Provins, such beautiful pictures. I would love to take a walk in the town someday.

Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteoh what´s a surprise - you were in Europe.
Yes, France is a beautiful country with a good style of food and a wonderful flair.
Your townpictures are looking wonderful - many old buildings.
Sad, that the weather wasn´t so good - but you have done the best of your holidays.
I come back soon to make a little visit in your blog
Hugs
Your Bluemchenmama
Dear Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little town in France!
I love old buildings with history!
I wish you a wonderful week!
With love,
Geli
Oh how I love this post; France's various regions offer so many choices in food, wine, and ARCHITECTURE! This style has to be one of my favorite medieval styles.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn, for coming by! I did indeed have a wonderful time with my family, but traveling on "Standby" made coming home a little challenging. I missed my first flight out to a connection in another state before I could get home, thus I missed a job interview on Tuesday! I was able to reschedule it with one principal, but now I have to finish off the interview this week with a teacher.
This has been a fantastic summer for us, and I hope it's turning out to be a cozy fall/winter for you! Hugs my sweet friend! Anita
what a pretty place!
ReplyDeleteYou always have such interesting post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty town. Thanks for all the wonderful photos.
Hi Carolyn...
ReplyDeleteI just adore the architecture of little European towns. The shutters are what I love in these pictures...I have always loved shutters.
Hope you are having a wonderful week!
Hugs, Nancy
Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the gentle tour of Provins, France. I love the French history and old buildings too!
You have made me think it is time for a visit sometime soon. Almost everything French appeals to me, the food and wine, the clothes, the old architecture and of course the antique markets are the best for finding treasure.
The place you visited looks magical, even on a rainy day!
Have a wonderful week.

Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteProvins is such a charming city. The girls should have visited here when they went to France. The buildings look so old and historic. Thank you for taking me to a lovely place through your pictures.
Love,

Thank you very much for introducing the wonderful Unesco world heritage site.
I DO wish your week is a wonderful one, my dear friend in New Zealand.

I've never heard of Provins, Carolyn. Pleased to read about it, it's history and see your photos.
ReplyDeleteHow nice you were able to eat out on your deck! Hope the weather stays as pleasant so you can enjoy the rest of the week outside!
Thank you dear friend for your well-wishes on my job interview! I had the French portion of the interview yesterday, so now I just need to hear back to see if I'm hired...fingers crossed....les droigts croisés!!!! Anita
ReplyDeleteDearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteIndeed, that was Bastille Day for France. You were there at a rather cold time of the year. How blissful it feels when warming up inside over a hot soup or so.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
