An affair with Paris ...

by kenyneo - last update: Jun 12, 2009

Eiffiel Tower of Paris ...

Mon amour...
To see Eiffiel Tower ....

Its not about going up the tower...
At least to me ....ahhh
Its about savouring her from different angle ...
Its about capturing her from different perspective ...

Mon cher,... every angle has its own beauty ...
Go and take a walk around the tower
and you will never see the tower the same again....

check my travelogue below of Different Faces of the Tower...


First Holiday in France Sept 2004 ~ fell in love with Paris
Second holiday in France Jul/Aug 2005 ~ mesmerised by Provence
Third holiday in France Jan 2006 ~ came back for more of Paris & then Rhone Alpes
Fourth holiday in France July/Aug 2006 - Paris was jealous because I had an affair with Barcelona as well...
Fifth holiday in France Jan 2007 - Romantic Paris, Gastronomical Pleasure of Lyon and the unique Holland ...
Sixth rendezvous - Paris and Annecy Feb 2008 ...the feeling of watching the movie Edith Piaf in Paris cannot be described by words ....
a street performer's dream ....

Edith Piaf

A month or so after daughter Marcelle's death - September 1935, Edith and Mômone made their way to the Champs-Elysées in the hope of a more lucrative day's singing. Standing on the corner of Rue Troyon and Avenue Macmahon Edith was singing 'Les deux ménétriers' when she was approached by a man who was to change her life - Louis Leplée. Handing her a scrap of paper containing his name, address and ten francs he asked her to meet him to audition at his club - Gerny's, Rue Pierre Charron

I am so happy to have visited the house where she was brought up ( near Metro Pyrenees ) and her eternal home in Pere Lachaise...farewell to the legendary sparrow of France..

listen to this song ? click here La Vie En Rose

Des yeux qui font baiser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voila le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Je vois la vie en rose
ll me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ca me fait quelque chose
ll est entre dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause

C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui
Dans la vie
ll me l'a dit,l'a jure Pour la vie
Des que je l'apercois
Alors je me sens en moi Mon coeur qui bat
Des nuits d'amour plus finir
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place
Les ennuis,les chagrins trepassent
Heureux,heureux a en mourir

My top 5 memories in Paris...

1) Getting lost in one of the museum like Louvre ( Sept , 2004 )or Musee D'Orsay ( Jan, 2006 )

2) Spending an afternoon on the grass of Place de Vosges...doing nothing

3) Sipping wine in Monmarte ...overlooking the city of Paris

4) Taking a walk down Latin Quarters

5) Taking a cup of coffee near the Flame of Liberty...just watching people passing by

 Excellent page with lots of new angles on Paris. If you love the Eifel tower, go visit Briare, a bridge built by Eifel. Same effect on me: lots of angles!

 Congratulations on writing an excellent Paris page with fine photos and insightful, well-written tips! (I've saved some of your tips for my next visit.)
