Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

What a wonderful tour of your neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteRed is indeed the color of the moment.
A slice of Paris life without eating a single morsel 😀
DeleteI guess it was a good thing the pool was closed otherwise I would have missed all the morning action!
Love your post today especially much!
ReplyDeleteMe, too, I loved this post because of the children hurrying to school, but more than that, the RED! I have always liked RED and just recently acquired a new, used RED Jeep. It looks so nice sitting in my driveway! ha, ha. I have a red front door, red cushions on the porch furniture, red dishpan, red toaster, red geraniums, red teapot, red cups, red tulips, (not blooming now, of course) found a collapsible red Radio Flyer for my Grandson at the Thrifty Shop, red towels in the bathroom and kitchen,......AND a new red jacket from Costco. So there! I am in "vogue." Thanks so much for this Monday morning post!
ReplyDeleteBravo C!!
DeleteI hope you only eat cerise and lobster..
I loved following you on your morning walk! And good for you on the croissant. I would not have been so virtuous!
ReplyDeleteLiving here you fortunately build up an immunity to croissants over time.
DeleteIt took 1-2 years to be sure!!
So I loved this morning walk ... the neighborhood and quiet early streets feel so inviting; especially since I am viewing on my laptop instead of my phone for a change! GeriNJ
ReplyDeleteTHANKS Geri!! Funny what happens when you just go with the flow.
DeleteJust arrived in Paris last week from NY. Actually, mustard yellow seems to be the coleur-du-jour.
ReplyDeleteI did a check Norma on Elle..

What fun to read about your Paris Monday morning as mine has begins here in the Shenandoah Valley. Your damp, cool day is a contrast to the unusual heat here these days - 10 degrees above the normal 75 for early fall. Great for pumpkins' final flourish, but I’m ready for your cooler weather. I enjoyed the damp stroll around your neighborhood this morning.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog every time. So happy for you to be living your dream.
ReplyDeleteCarol-Lovely post.....we are going to be in Paris in October. Cannot wait! Your post makes me feel we are there now :) thank you! Hello to dear Bear. Patricia and Eric, Minneapolis
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I had a Paris morning.
Loved the photo of your island path with your bridge and the gorgeous red coat.
I think your walk was more inspirational than my walk. I saw dogs and ducks, and kids riding their bikes on sidewalks. I love seeing a father taking their child to school. Did not realize it was so cool in France.
ReplyDeleteLoving all the red!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning from Sydney, I so enjoyed joining you for a morning walk in Paris, and salivated at the boulangier windows. I must confess I am looking for a French home within walking distance of a Boulangier.
ReplyDeleteIt is your artist eye that sees Hopper in tje simple scenes of the workers, yes I agree I love the silence of Hopper painting, he is a favorite artist of mine. Sending kind regards Vaness aka - M de L
Your street photography is my favorite! I just love all of your photos. Your artist's eye catches delight after delight. Merci bien!
ReplyDeleteYou should have le petit déjeuner at a boulangerie or a patisserie every morning, not at home!! I always did when I lived in Italy.
ReplyDeleteI would Love to Gwendoline but they are not serving when I get up at 4am...or earlier to work on the Paris letters.
DeleteWonderful photos!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBless you for getting up in time to take that fabulously lit photo of a cathedral (Charteres?)!! And the framing of the baker in the big blue O - genius! I myself have become a complete slug - I no longer rise before the sun :-( so I miss that glorious light.
ReplyDeleteRE: the red riding hoods - have your seen the movie set in Venice "Don't Look Now" with Donald Sutherland? very oldie but I consider it very telling that, all these years later, it it still burnt into my brain.
Loved Dont Look Now!!
DeleteThe pool hours are super early. 7-8:30 is early shift till the scholars arrive at a sane 9 am.
That's Notre Dame btw...you take a train to Chartres..
Loved this post. The pastries and I love to see Parisian children and how they are dressed. I have noticed a couple photos of yellow umbrellas. Just not the same. Red pops. I learned just how much from this blog. Carries over for me to flowers in the garden. Enjoy fall.
