I like the things which captured your heart and eyes and I also like the multiple reflections on the show windows. When time is limited in overseas travel, shopping arcades tend to be after the must-see sightseeing sights, but now I understand the historical meaning of Paris’ passageways. The pale white Sacré Coeur is so beautiful. My daughter loved to stroll around Paris so much.<br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-75480752771195859662016-11-30T22:06:16.996+00:002016-11-30T22:06:16.996+00:00Dear Britta - I haven't actually stayed at the...Dear Britta - I haven't actually stayed at the Hotel Chopin, so it has not been tried or tested, but it looks nice, seems reasonably priced and is in a great location.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-7148085391740215092016-11-30T20:58:32.436+00:002016-11-30T20:58:32.436+00:00Wow, absolutely beautiful!

I have rather haphazardly explored arcades there too but had no idea that there were so many, and so interesting. I never have been to Musee Grevin, someone told me once it wasn't worth going to but it looks so entrancing from the outside that I am sure now that they must have been wrong. (I wonder why I listened) Have now looked up Hotel Chopin and that too looks like a place I would like.
