“Happy 🦃 Thanksgiving ”, Brigitte, my bouquiniste said to me. I’d momentarily forgotten. When she lived in the states, the ex-pats would be invited to THREE Thanksgivings 🦃🦃🦃 in one day!
Boy, was that fun 🎉
Many, many school children in attendance
And
So many
Beautiful
Books 📚 to browse and buy.
Two floors of book 📕 publishers
It’s the 40th anniversary of the fair 🥳
I went 10 years ago and it was way smaller.
The fair is on through Monday morning and an easy trip on ligne 9 to Robespierre.
This time I went for homework…
Have a 🎉 Festive day 🎉 out there dear PBers
💌 sending kisses 💋 from 🥰 Paris 🐻 
A lost art for many young children..teens especially..Reading:( looks like fun.I devoured my books when I was young.
ReplyDeleteBooks 📚 for kids are HUGE here.
DeleteThe schools help by bringing the children to the fair.
At the big March Salon du Livre, all children enter free.
We all devoured our books 📕 as kids.
DeleteWhat else was there to devour? I was especially fond of Horror comics like TALES FROM THE CRYPT (original copies now worth a fortune).
Who can resist the beauty and charm of well illustrated children's books? Thanks for the pictures. Also, the holiday lights are lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes, très irresisitable pour moi aussi

ReplyDeleteThanksgiving early morning looking for the Hazy Days of Winter to send my friend Lynne in LA who's grieving her breakup with a con man boyfriend who, at a distance, convinced her he was dying of cancer and needed a thousand dollars immediately for chemo. But that's not my point ! My point is: I stumbled on a Simon and Garfinkle Reunion on YouTube and stopped. Ground to a halt by Paul Simon's brilliant song writing and musicianship. It was weird how I lay in my bed in almost rainy morning and shades of my youth passed across my vision- all the people and places and colors and sounds. Did you ever see that old movie where Jose ferrer played the French painter Toulouse Lautrec? Well at the end of the movie he's dying and sees visions of all the beautiful dancing girls he painted flowing through his eyes. It was like that. Happy Thanksgiving my friends
