Madame à Paris


Yes, Madame est à Paris once again, as our stay in London wound down to an end. Just a quick train trip over on the Eurostar, and we're in central Paris, ready to stroll. 

Thought I'd just share a few postcards from our visit....



Strolling through Montmartre watching the artists in the shadows of Sacré Coeur


Taking a sniff of the beautiful flowers displayed so beautifully on the pavement


Shopping at Galéries Lafayette for Guerlain


and Chanel


Red tables set up for lunch


Warm weather luring travelers and locals alike to eat outdoors


Finding little out of the way restaurants



and boutique hotels


Enjoying the gardens of the Louvre



Remembering to look up while standing in line for a lemon tart at the bakery Au Petit Versailles du Marais 


Checking out the love locks on the Pont de L'Archevêché behind Notre Dame cathedral


Making a detour to Ladurée



known for their delicious macarons


and whimsy


This time being allowed (shock!) to take a photo


of the interior. So much beauty!


Stopping by our "favorite apartment" on the Left Bank, where we dream of having a "pied-à-terre" someday


Cuteness all wrapped up in a little French dog


Sunset on the Place de la Concorde


where the sun and the water sprays


danced in harmony


Making this trip even more special was spending the day with a friend, as we each head separate ways from London. 

A Parisian "au-revoir" to a special friend.

Postcards from Paris--being sent your way!

  1. Aw, Debi - it reminds me of our quick day trip to Paris from London a few years ago. It was such a fun day for me and Alex! We were planning on heading to London again next week, but Alex has had a touch of a setback health wise and we think we should stick closer to home. We are heartbroken but hopefully will go another time. I hope you are having a wonderful week, my friend! xxoo

  3. OUI OUI OUI!!!!!!! Oh Paris, how I love THEE!

    Well, you really get around Europe, and you will never forget this special time of your life that you've had to do so! Thank you for sharing some very special photos here! When I lived in France, I took so many photos; when my husband finally met up with me there, we traveled up to Paris and we continued to take more pics ONLY TO FIND OUT that the card for our digital camera was not correctly formatted, so all the photos of PARIS are unreadable! AH! So that only means one thing: HE HAS TO TAKE ME BACK!

    Thank you so much for coming to visit me! Anita

  9. I love that there is a train that goes from London to Paris, it's so magical! (Trains being so much nicer than planes and all.)

  10. Hello there my Texas/London friend! Thank you for coming over tonight! Yes, we are having our first real October weekend because we too here in Minnesota have had a looooong summer. Breezes are blowing my white curtains in the enclosed deck, making for an ethereal experience at night as we see them blowing from the French doors. Wishing you a gorgeous fall when it comes to you !

  35. There is no sense in optimizing your site for "hooded sweatshirts" if your target market calls them "hoodies." You simply must know what words people are actually using, not what you think they use. One invaluable tool in your quest is Google Insights, which will show you, in incredible detail, patterns of Google searches, either globally or by country, stretching back to 2004.satta king

  37. If there is one thing that people hate it is commercials or corny advertisements. Make sure that your sales pitch is subtle to help keep your viewers engaged.
