Summer in the City 🌞

 
Yesterday everyone was dressed for 

SUMMERTIME
Meanwhile I was wearing a black turtleneck, red jacket, black raincoat - SO WRONG 👎

 Stripes are so Summery

Tank tops coming

Tank tops going

 Red-striped tank top + Big, Wooly scarf…just in case. 
I can so relate to this.

Obligatory red beret…hmm

Red-check napkins = Summery.

Red-striped awning

Red Summer 

Flowers 🌺 

An umbrella ☂️ just in case?

A pitcher of citron-menthe looks refreshing…

Out-of-towners looking at…

A blow-up man attached to the grate blowing back & forth…

I stopped in Fragonard, 5 rue Bordreau, 75009

Where it’s Summer 

All the time.

Even the Metro is thinking Summer.

Have you been to Béziers? Béziers is one of the oldest cities in France. The ancient Greek colony dates from 575 BCE, making it older than Agde and younger than Marseille (Greek Massalia, founded in 600 BCE). 

I got an ice cream 🍦 yogurt-mango to get in the spirit of things

Naturalement I browsed Galerie Lafayette Gourmet…

For Summery 

Food - the most lush 

Lemon 🍋 meringué tarte in town. 
🍦
Suddenly I’m ready for Summer.

    Love this. Mentioning Frogonard reminded me of the time we visited the parfumerie in the south and leaving with many different forms of their perfumes as gifts.
    I love the “shot in the arm” you give me of Paris and French culture. Thank you. I hope to get back one day. From Mid Atlantic USA ❤️🙏

    Thank you for this glimpse of summer! I too am still in black turtleneck, Uniqlo HeatTech no less!, in blustery New England. Cannot wait for tank top weather.
    Béziers has called to me since reading about the Cathar Crusades…they have quite an interesting history. Time for a field trip?
