My parting shot, at Charles de Gaulle airport
Sigh! It’s wonderful to look back on. I hope you enjoyed it too. It’s a long Bank Holiday weekend here in England, so plenty to see and do. I’ll still be walking on Monday so I’ll see you then. Have fun, whatever you do, even if that’s nothing at all!
Cate at Show My Face would love you to play Six word Saturday, if you can find the time.
Gorgeous mementos from Paris Jo. Stirred fond memories, especially of the concert at Saint Chapelle.
They were restoring the rose window, Madhu, so that was screened off, but the concert was brilliant 🙂
WoW! Bridges are indeed your forte 🙂 That onion soup should be called cheese soup. I love cheese, but this stuff was too much for me :D. I remember Pont Alexendre which I love, and this knobs reminded me of my naughty video “Knobs and Knockers” that I “brought” from Paris :D. Marvelous, marvelous post!!!
Knobs and knockers? Rings a bell but you might have to prompt me 🙂 Thank you very much, Paula. A good weekend for you, or just busy?
A busy and tiresome one, but I was at peace 🙂 I spent 5 hours taking pics at home tonight, and we put new shelves in the dining area – so a very useful weekend 🙂
I don’t dare send you a link to that video. You called me “vraiment mechante” 😆
I think I must be tired. I had ‘Bedknobs and Broomsticks’ in my head 🙂 Not Disney, huh? 🙂
😆
Gorgeous photos, Jo. I love the one with the sun setting behind the glass pyramid at the Louvre. Fabulous!!
Hi Isabella? How are you? It’s so nice to find old friends on here. We were lucky that the sun was just setting as we crossed the square. Thanks a lot 🙂
Feeling better at last, Jo, and so happy to be back in action. I’ve missed you all so much. Blessings, dear friend ♥
Beautiful Jo! I love the photo from the sculpture garden with the view on the Eiffel tower…fabulous 😀 Happy Bank Holiday for tomorrow. Ciao, Letizia
Thank you, Letizia 🙂 What a lovely surprise to find you on here! I rarely make it to my Reader and only occasionally to Facebook (where I usually saw your posts). Hope all’s well with you? 🙂
Hi Jo, I know…the same here, but today I just wanted to have a look…has been too long ago 🙂 And I know I’m always happy to be back on your blog!!!
Bless you, hon. Thanks a lot 🙂
All of these shots are great but I particularly like the sparkling Seine by night!
You’ve got me hopping around the black and white challenges. Stoppit! 🙂 🙂 My life is not my own any more.
Thanks, Emilio 🙂
Moi?
You have such a wonderful talent for capturing unique shots! Really like your new Giverny header too!
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to match my header to the post but it doesn’t work too well when you move on to the next post. I wish there was a way to anchor them together but that always involves a paid upgrade or whatever. 😦
Wish I could once more walk and visit those places. They are so beautiful. Thans for a lovely post again.
Thank you for your company again, hon. I dread the day when I can’t get out and walk as I like to, but it’ll come some day. 🙂
Yes, I also do,’t want to think about that day when I can’t take my walks.
Fantastic shots of Paris, Jo. The setting sun behind the Louvre pyramid…wow! And the soupe à l’oignon makes my stomach growl.
Yes, I was just thinking it might be breakfast time soon 🙂 🙂 Many thanks! I loved my visit to Paris.
Such a wonderful variety of images Jo. So beautiful. I will say the crocheted Eiffel Tower really made me smile.
Me too! I should have gone in for the pattern 🙂
Thanks, Sue! Busy weekend?
Yes I was helping my Mom in law with a garage sale, now headed to a wedding. 🙂 Maybe you could crochet me a toque like the Eiffel Tower as it feels like winter is around the corner here. 🙂
Here too 😦 Enjoy the wedding!
If it snows I am going to have to have a little pout.
Now THAT is beyond a joke. I’ve started knitting you a tam-o-shanter this second! Family wedding or just friends?
Well I don’t even know what a tam-o-shatter is but it sounds warm. Lovely. 🙂 along time friends at finally saying I do. 🙂
Floppy woollen hat. Terribly flattering! (if you have the right face) 🙂
I know about that! Took us 17 years.
I always enjoy what you make of Six-word Saturday, and I particularly like your Paris miscellanea. The standouts for me are that gleaming statue and the wedding photo with its reflections. The whole assemblage gives a great sense of many delights. Are there more to come?
Thanks, Meg 🙂 I suspect there might be.
Monday’s walk for sure, and I have to cover Versailles, don’t I? And no doubt more miscellanea 🙂
I leave for the Algarve on 1st September so I’ll have to fit it in before then.
I’m a bit itchy to head off again myself. At home I have to entertain myself – and keep house and garden under control. I’m just signed up for an online Polish course with voice recognition. That should keep me out of mischief! Whether it will make me fluent in Polish is another matter.
I wish I had the incentive but as usual I’m being negligent 😦
Such a wonerful city that never fails to surprise and make you smile…
I’m collecting smiles today, Tanya 🙂
Great shots Jo. The lines and light in the wedding album shot are very enticing. I’m looking for some doorknobs so I’ll have to seek those out on my next trip. Glad you had such a wonderful and memorable time.
Why, oh why, didn’t I buy up all those doorknobs, Debbie? I could have had a doorknob sale. Think of the fun we’d have 🙂
Many thanks!
Marvelous images Jo – I really like those doorknobs!
I should have bought up all of the stock, Meg. I’m sure I could have resold them 🙂
Incredible memories, but the soup got to me. What does that tell you about my priorities? 😉
Worshiping shot. GORGEOUS,
Eiffel Towers? I want one! Funny!
I think I’d stand a better chance of knitting you an Eiffel Tower than an owl, Gem 🙂
Happy weekend! Thank you!
Same to you, mademoiselle. 🙂
Gorgeous photos! I love Paris so much. Hope you had a wonderful time Jo!
Absolutely did, Nicole. It was fantastic- especially Giverny 🙂 Thank you!
I have never made it to Giverny even though I lived in Paris for 8 months during university. Would love to visit. Can’t wait to see your photos on that! 🙂
Lovely images Jo – I especially like the bridge at night and the sun setting behind the Louvre. Musee D’Orsay is wonderful isn’t it 🙂
If I could have rented a little room and moved in, I would, Suze! (d’Orsay) I loved it 🙂
Thank you! I wasn’t sure whether Mick would enjoy the city but it was a great relief to find that he did (apart from having exceedingly sore feet 🙂 )
Any plans for the Bank Hol? We’ve got rain, which is a huge shame for all the local shows, but I’ve plenty to do on here. 🙂 Hugs, darlin’.
Lovely photos! They brought back memories of a long weekend in Paris with my son when we were based in England. (Easy access to Europe is one of the things I miss most about living in the UK.) I hope your French is better than mine! Language difficulties added a great deal to my Paris experience!
After struggling with Portuguese and Polish I was happy to find that my French came back to me fairly easily 🙂 But everyone was very pleasant and helpful- more than I would have expected as they don’t have that reputation. Speak as you find! 🙂
🙂 Thank you for posting these, Jo. I love Paris, your pictures bring many memories.
I was going to tell you my favorites but there are so many that I’ve seen personally and am liking your picture. Probably “Rodin’s wonderful sculpture garden” is my favorite. I get lost for half days at a time there.
Second, I have decided is the Musee d’Orsay with the clock. It is hard to think that this wonderful museum was once magnificent train station until one looks up or around. The clock has always been my favorite there but the art is wonderful.
I don’t have a 6WS post this morning. Thank you again for being faithful there. 🙂
..
Hi Jim 🙂 Nice to keep in touch, darlin. I’ll pop over and see what mischief you’ve been up to a bit later. We have a damp Bank Holiday up here so I should have some time free 🙂
Oh, Jo, these are some of your best photos ever! I love the statue and the doorknobs – please tell me you brought some home with you? I can just see them on an old painted chest of drawers. And that wedding photo – oh wow! Perfectly framed. I feel the urge to go to Paris!
Jude xx
On the way to Sydney, perhaps? 🙂 (joking- but only just)
Thanks a lot, Jude. I do like these shots, though I shouldn’t say it.
My ever-loving was very skilled at turning a blind eye whenever I hovered in the Gallery, Jude 😦 They weren’t expensive and I really loved them. I loved the ‘passages’! Wonderfully quirky shops. I would have hunted them all down but we ran out of time. I found quite a few though. 🙂
Made me smile too. Beautiful pictures!
Another smiler! I love it, Dawn 🙂
