Hmmmm Paris?

by johngayton - last update: Nov 19, 2005

Must Spend More Time Here

Dawn over the Seine
I must admit that this is only my second visit to Paris, (I am telling lies here: actually it is the third time - the second time being when navigating back from Nice to Calais; I fell asleep, having thought I had given clear instructions on going round the peripherie.........continue that story at later date!).

My first visit was about 1992 - ish when a bunch of us went on a combined "stag and hen" weekend. The weekend was great, lots of fun as a bunch, and I managed to escape the group in the afternoons to do my own thing, meeting up again in the evenings and doing "organised things"!

This visit I was there for quite literally 24 hours and slept 11 of those........and that's another story in itself.

No, I haven't got the feel of Paris yet, I really must spend a week (at least), find a little local bar and find Paris from the ground level - or gutter level in my case!

But I do love Montmarte, tourist trap though it may be - it does a have a buzz all of it's own and at least the "hustlers" are actually quite talented, both as hustlers and as artists.

So far this is just a quick intro - I intend to put a couple of tavelogues up in near future - stay tuned to this channel!

 All the light bulbs worked! (Unheard of in a cheap Paris hotel.) - Thanks for your nice comment on my Amsterdam page. You'll be happy to learn that the girls in Paris have started riding bicycles, too, thanks to Mayor Delanoë.

 Cute pictures , what we need now is a photo of the most famous sparrow in france, the late Edith Piaf.

 Nice pictures and just in case you are curious, russet in French is feuille-morte, like the color of dead leaves...
