Magali in the City

Dear readers,

Chers lecteurs,

It's a holiday tradition that I spend a day in Paris with my father.

C'est devenu une tradition de passer une journée à Paris avec mon Papa lors des fêtes de fin d'année.

We walked through the Luxembourg Park where he used to sail toy boat on the pool when he was a little boy.

Nous avons traversé le Luxembourg où nous avons croisé ce garde tellement "cliché" que je me suis dit que l'uniforme avait été choisi pour plaire aux touristes.

There we met a guard that was very "French cliché" looking. I bet they chose that uniform for tourists!

We went to eat to a no less French bistrot.

Nous n'avons pas manqué de nous arrêter dans un bistrot typique, le genre où l'on est tellement serré que l'on mange presque sur les genoux de son voisin!

And I then took him to the "passages", which are those covered alleys that go from one street to another and are full of wonderful shops!

Nous avons ensuite traversé divers passages couverts qui cachent des boutiques toutes plus belles les unes que les autres.

We had a great day, though we barely could feel our feet at the end of the day from walking so much!

I hope you enjoyed that walk through Paris as well.

I would love to visit Paris someday, but I feel like I got a beautiful glimpse of the city through your lovely photos, Magali. Thank you for sharing this with us! I was delighted to hear that you
grow quince and primroses--I grow both of those as well, but here they bloom later. We’ve had several days of cold weather, but if it warms up the primroses are likely to bloom!

Spending a day in Paris sounds like a wonderful tradition. When my sisters and I were younger, we used to go withmy parents to Long Island, New York to visit my dad's sister and family for
Thankgsgiving. Our tradition was to go into the city the day after and just hang out as one big family doing the touristy thing. It was so much fun. Some of my best memories.

Paris est toujours aussi beau ! Même si je n'en connais presque que les gares...
