| Page Views: 640 Last Visit to Paris: December, 2005 | Paris, at any time of year... by amapola66 - last update: Jul 21, 2006 |
City of Culture and Romance I adore Paris. I have visited this beautiful city many times previously for work and for leisure, but somehow, I hadn't been recently. That needed to be fixed, so when a last minute opportunity arose to spend a couple of free nights at the Hotel Majestic with KB who was working there for the week, I swiflty sorted out work & domestics, booked my Eurostar ticket online and was off ! The weather was chilly, but I didn't care. I found plenty to amuse myself with and some much needed 'me' time. My dear friend The French Painter, also lives there, so I met up with him on arrival for a catch up in a cafe, which was lovely and KB managed to get some time off over the weekend.
I hurridly packed a small suitcase filled with black clothes (naturally) and my white (fake) fur coat, some handy tips from some VT travellers for restaurants etc and tried to get some beauty sleep in an attempt to look suitably glam for my weekend to come.
Check back for updates very soon. |

|  | The French Painter While I was in Paris, I met up with my dear friend Bertran, (who will be referred to as 'The French Painter' from now on). He has a huge capacity for all things creative, one of his colourful works pictured here... We rode of his motorbike around the Arc de Triomphe - what fun! You can view more of Bertran's work ~ ici ~ |
