It looks like these people are sunning on the beach 🏖️
They are under my bridge, Pont de Sully getting crispy at the annual
PARIS PLAGE.
I almost made it into the Seine 🏊 yesterday, but I missed the boat. Too many other to-dos. It is not open every day…mostly on weekends which seems unfair 🙄 especially when the temps are in the 90s 🥵 like this week.
I did happily make it into the splendide
Piscine Pontoise instead🏊 Très elegant.
I have been dropping by Paris Plages on occasion
And every single lounge chair & umbrella is always taken!
One can only conclude it’s a hit
With the Parisians left in Paris.
Fun things like Free suntan lotion dispensers (I tried it - pleasantly creamy)
Free Selfie photos of yourself at Paris Plage 👍 OUI!
The theme this year is Brazilian,
Since it was a Wednesday, I thought they might have
Feijoada, a classic beans & meaty stew served only on weekends and Wednesdays. They did not 😲
On Monday I took a deep dive into more watery 🌊 experiences
It is now a stunning space for boat-lovers
And everyone else up for a sea-worthy adventure.
The painting collection is knock-your-socks-off terrific, with of course all manner of boat models and any equipment related to sailing the ocean bleu.
I came particularly for thé photography exhibit of
Jean Gaumy.
And a superb master photographer
Of all things ocean-related.
He travels the world following traditional fisherman.
And this is a man who suffers from
chronic sea-sickness.
Certainly a man following his passion ❤️
I thought this exhibit was timely. On Saturday I’m going to la
Fête de la Mer 🐟 in
TROUVILLE - a big celebration for the fisherman and their boats 🚤
🐟 HAPPY FISHING 🎣 EVERYONE 🐟
If you enjoyed this, please share with a friend ❤️
Formidable, comme toujours! ! Est-ce qu’on loue les sièges?
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no!
DeleteIT IS ALL FREE AT PARIS PLAGES.
‘The early bird 🐦 gets the worm’
Such fun!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post as always Carol. Love seeing Jean Gaumy photography. Just stunning. Sounds like Paris is having a heat wave like we are here in Oregon. We have been hitting 100 but it will cool down into the 80s today. Love the free selfie photos of you.

DeleteYou’re presence is very much appreciated on your every blog about Paris happening. Thank you for sharing! I can just imagine you all over the place and having a blast, I would have enjoyed the company. Gin
ReplyDeleteLOve the selfies, since you rarely photograph yourself. T’embrasse!
ReplyDeleteHahaha it’s true…Thanks Alaina 🫣
DeleteHi -- I love your email newsletters. Thank you for sharing your life and world with all of us -- would you ever write a memoir or a guide to Paris? You seem to be having a very rich experience there. I have learned so much from you. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteJennifer
Love those photographs, your selfies and think the free sun screen lotion is a wonderful idea. Thanks again for taking me back to Paris, if only for a few minutes - you always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteI’m with Jennifer…you need to write a memoir…if she only knew the incredible life you have led…even pre-Paris! 📕
ReplyDeleteI think you should swim in the Seine…just once…just to say you did it! Honestly, how many people can say they have been swimming in the Seine?! For comfort (and air conditioning!), your pool though is the top!
Thank you for all your posts and your unique way of seeing the world.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Jennifer and Bonnie L you should write a memoir of your wonderful adventures pre Paris and Paris you have had so many unique experiences please think about it
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing them here too! Love your posts,artworks, and photography
Merci Beaucoup LS
