Paris

by tini58de - last update: Feb 21, 2006

I have been to Paris 4 times now, and each time was a little different! My first encounter was during highschool, when we had a school exchange with a school in Thiais (which is more or less a suburb of Paris), so of course we did visit Paris! I do not remember all that much any more, just my host family and I climbing up the Eiffel Tower! What an experience!

The second time was in 1977, when I went on an Interrail tour with a school friend of mine! We had 1 1/2 days in Paris and I guess we made the most of it...


1996

This was the last trip that I was able to take with my Dad -
and it was a truly enjoyable one!

My Dad showed me around "his" Paris
and shared the places he liked with me!
He invited me to wonderful restaurants,
took me to his favorite antique shops
and even discovered new places to enjoy!

Building this page makes me happy, nostalgic and a little sad,
but how does this saying go:

"Don't complain about what you lost, rather be thankful for everything you ever had!"

And I am very thankful for this experience to stroll through Paris with my Dad!




The picture shows a street lamp next to Notre Dame cathedral -
and that is the topic of my theme calendar 2003.
For more "Street Lamps of the World" please see my travellogues on this page!

2006

Ten years later I went there again! Actually it was this crazy idea to meet a VT friend there who had come all the way from Chicago (plus get to know another friend from Louisville, KY)! I looked through some travel deals and decided to go! My husband decided to join me, so this was a nice little trip! Plus we attended a lovely VT meeting at the Train Bleu on Saturday!

The weather was lousy, I was sick, but still enjoyed those 1 1/2 days!

 I like your annual "calendars", particularly street lamps. I have similar collections in my homepage travelogues (arches, lamps, faces and wings). Cheers from NYC.

 Excellent page! Musee d'Orsay is one of my favorite. I also loved the flair of the former railway station.

 Enjoyed your Paris pages, you seem to have covered most of the sights. I was there in Aug 2006 and the weather was lousy and wet too. But had a wonderful time. Tim·:*¨`*:·~My§ticÄl~·:*."
