Paris Christmas Shop Windows

 

PARIS CHRISTMAS MAP
Yesterday I went oùt looking 

For small, pretty shop windows.
Not so much luxurious shop windows…
More cosy places
Like a small coffee shop on rue Madame with home-made baked goods.
I pass Maison Ciero flower shop on the way to the poste, full of evergreen 🌲 decorations.
Like many Paris street corners.
A poodle looking out the stationary shop window.
A Santa 🎅 taxi 🚖 in the window…
Yesterday was quite sunny and mild for December.
Cafes were full of shoppers taking a break
Windows were definitely more 
Upscale 
On 
Rue 
Du 
Bac.
The perfect Christmas stocking.
Christmas is when adults can become children again,
And children can be children.
I love this quote on childhood from playwright, Tom Stoppard, who we lost last weekend.
The lights are on in my neighborhood…quite cosy ❤️

  1. Certainly more adults enjoying the bunnies at the Bon Marché than children..!

    Beautiful, Carol! Paris is indeed even more magical over the holidays. Small shops are the best, where we should be spending our €s instead of at the big chains. Your Paris Christmas Map is delightful. ❤️
