  1. Wasn't there either but seen so many images of it all. Bummed since hubby works on Place Vend么me and so it would've been great to see it from his office! What a spectacle! Glad to see your vie en rose - beautiful paintings, Carol x

    Wow! No one can monter un spectacle like the French…on the Place Vend么me no less! Hermes ‘it girls’ riding horses around the place was pretty spectaculaire!! Not as spectacular as your roses though. Beautiful!

    Really, no one puts on a spectacular like the French…and on the Place Vend么me no less! I saw an image of two ‘it girls’ modeling for Hermes as they rode horses around the Place. Thanks for all the photos. Love your roses! ❤️

    2. Practice for sure is important, but with 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a way too big house to take care, I feel overwhelmed.

    Carol, I don't know if you've been over lately, but food/restaurant prices are so very high. We aren't eating out much at all. So I was wondering about the prices for your lunch. Is that normal or a special day? Just curious. Love you! Judy

      I thought the menu prices were reasonable for a luxury hotel lunch in a beautiful setting.
      Food prices in Paris are way less than the states. Visit any march茅. And If you go late, as I do..everything is on sale! 1-2€ for as much as you can carry. Usually I do not want 6 fennels!!馃槂
      Summer produce is from South of France or Spain mostly.
      By the way our lunch was ‘on the house’ since Solli was shooting the courses.
