Paris.... Part two

Great photos, Sue, thanks for the tour. Love all those coloured lights reflected in the Seine!

Thanks for part two, Notre Dame looks magnificent, and that bridge! So Romantic........

Shame about the rain but you managed to find some nice shops to shelter in!
I wouldn't justify the handbag either but its something special that she will always remember Paris with Mum and thats priceless.

Great photos Lincs - I remember being given a huge jigsaw of Notre Dame a few years ago, I never did finish it!
Now shopping - that's more like it. My mum would have been the exact same as you. We often have that sort of mother/daughter thing going on in shops :)

must say...I really love the golden lighting on the Tour d'Eiffel. your photos took me back to our own visit to Paris last year. it was a really amazing break. We had a lot of good times...and the cathedral gardens were really lovely as you saw. The locks on the bridges are really romantic...I loved them. Thanks for sharing! :)

That's what it's for Snoop! ;)

Snoop we have to gad about, we do the same wherever we go, can't waste a precious minute when one is away,cram as many sights in as possible, we are dab hands at ending up in the wrong place and boy our tootsies ache at bedtimes but its all good fun.......
Pam I' ve told you all before that I DON'T like shopping but sometimes I can't get out of it, that bag took ages to choose but I have to admit it is a very good one, really soft leather and as you say its a special treat. We came out of the metro near Notre Dame on one of the days and found a marvellous indoor market, it was all things for the garden,now that one I could have spent a fortune if only I'd had an extra suitcase....
Sheila thats the only good thing about all the rain we were getting, at nightime all the lights were being reflected everywhere even from the traffic so it was very colourful...

amazing sites :-))))

thank you :-))))

Scottish my daughter had a jigsaw made for me as a xmas present, one of the big thousand piece ones, it was four of the photo's we had taken on our first visit, Notre Dame was one of the pics she had chosen and it was an absolute nightmare trying to sort out the four scenes, I had it in my folder for over two years and kept going back to it, only had about twenty pieces of sky to finish and biddy Caspar jumped onto the table last winter and knocked it flying, LOL...needless to say I have never got it out since.....

Karen it is lovely for a holiday especially exploring all the sights, I enjoyed it, my daughter loves it but I could never imagine living anywhere like that...

What an amazing place and buildings, your pictures captured the atmosphere perfectly especially the evening ones of the Seine and tower, a must visit one day ;0))

Great photos thank you for sharing, pity about the rain it sounded like a great time regardless :o)

You are so lucky! we lived in Paris for about three years.
We just loved it. I was very sure that I wanted my three children to learn French. Learn it they did, We were having lunch in Brittany and a woman asked me why did I adopt three French children? she could not believe we were all in the same family and American. We never stopped being amazed at the most beautiful Architecture, and the food, andthe....I could go on and on. My absolute favorite city. Every possible Fete is celebrated, new windows each time, so perfectly decorated. Fresh bread every morning, and more. You have to take it hook line and sinker, or else you will not like so much about Paris. So enjoy it and love it.

I forgot to mention, your photos of Notre Dame made me cry they were so wonderful.

Hi Sue..
you took super photos ...
the lock bridge is amazing !

I feel almost that I came to Paris with you! It has been a wonderful trip and I really really want to go and see it all - only ever spent one evening there on the way to somewhere else.

Thanks for the tour Lincs, been to France a couple of times but never visited Paris but your super pics have given me the urge even if its just a long weekend.

Loved the blog Sue, and the pictures , especially the night time ones ! Thanks for sharing these with us.

Another fabulous blog, I'll probably never visit Paris, this is the next best thing ....mind you you never know, loved Notre Dame:-))

Grand buildings ! Can't say I liked that bridge though ... I thought it was a bit daft !
The buildings looked nice lit up in the night. Did you go up the Eiffel Tower ?

What lovely Photo's Sue..and it's somewhere that is still on my wish list too.Love all the wonderful Architecture,especially the night time shots..not sure about the locks bridge,,but very novel..I wonder how many lovers stayed together? :o) thanks for sharing your lovely visit xx

There are many fabulous buldings, bridges and statues it was difficult to choose which ones to show, I took over 900 photo's, cannot remember how many of those are the tower itself but it changes in the light all the time., my daughter read online that they are concerned about all the locks corroding the metal of the bridge but as you saw that hasn't yet stopped anyone......
Hywel we didn't go up the Tower this time but on our last visit we did both that and the Arch de Triumph, the views from both are well worth the effort and we have lots of lovely pics from that time, my knee and the rain, plus the very long queues put us off, standing in the sun for over two hours was bad enough, in the rain it was a big no thankyou...
