We stayed in the Marais district during
our September visit to Paris and there
was plenty to see in the neighborhood.
Rides on the Metro...
Blocks and blocks of bookstalls....
The famed Shakespeare and Company..
where I got in trouble for trying to
take an inside picture. The nerve!
And yes...I added to my collection.
Who can resist?
There is Boofle below..
hitting the bookbins for a bargain.
Fun..colorful shops.
Inviting tables at sidewalk cafes....
Notre Dame...
Hotel de Ville..
Paris city hall stands proudly. This spot has been
the center of city government since 1357.
Lovely statues everywhere..
Local scammers sell locks to decorate a
bridge with proclamations of love and
devotion. It's a scam...but it sure looks cool.
Every city has it's graffiti...
Musee d'Orsay...
no picture taking allowed. Sad face...
Just another pretty statue...
Music from the locals....
I'm looking a bit weather beaten...
but standing next to a Matisse painting
at the Orangerie Museum. Matisse is my
Impressionist crush.
Picasso...I love those large women...
forget the scales...curves are in.
Another Picasso...
Have you seen Paris at night?
Floating along on the Seine...
Surrounded by light and beauty...
Eating amazing food....on this river cruise...
And who are these happy people?
Maybe they have something to celebrate...
How about a marriage proposal in Paris
under the glow of the Eiffel Tower...
on my birthday!
Did I say yes?
You bet I did...
