If I have to choose one place to go when in Paris, then that's it. Also why I took my daughter there last year on her first visit to Paris. A glorious day and tired after walking the streets of Paris, it was such a treat to sit on one of the many chairs scattered on different places in the garden with a view on the boats on the water and the Château de Luxembourg.

So many sites to see in Paris!<br />Next year...<br /><br />Thanks for a mini-trip today, Rosemary!<br /><br />Mary in OregonMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-80630672076250948402015-07-02T19:02:52.482+01:002015-07-02T19:02:52.482+01:00Dear Gina - it is the things one sees unexpectedly...Dear Gina - it is the things one sees unexpectedly on the streets in addition to the tourist 'must dos' that I enjoy in Paris.

He was the illegitimate son of the 4th Marquess of Hertford, and inherited his father's estates, and extensive collection of European art.

Paris will always be special and if one gets to see it once in a while then one can be a happy person. You always show us what is different and therefore, one can maybe skip a visit and dream of seeing Paris the next time around.

There seem to be a lot of places not only to visit but also to pause, to watch people, or simply to be absorbed in Pair’s air, and I think I can understand “timelessness” about Paris. The snail is so impressive but I’d feel scared when I see such big ones in person. With so many snails, your son’s environment is precious now that many snails (and frogs) are disappearing.<br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-45411519694643900132015-07-02T09:08:10.661+01:002015-07-02T09:08:10.661+01:00Lovely photos of a beautiful city.
