I took some lovely pictures outside my window and I can't seem to get them to upload. Grr..I know there has been a lot of Paris talk, but I was hoping to transport you all to the picturesque, quaint seacoast of New England.
Between K talking about his "villa in Provence" and Addy talking about her "apartment in Paris," no wonder the other people on the board think the denizens of this thread are "stuck-up."
I LOVE IT!!!
(And, yes, Pton, we also love the North Shore. Just not as much as we love Paris.)
You come to Paris, you come to play: You have a wonderful time, you go away. From then on, you speak of Paris knowingly. You may know Paris, But you don’t know...Paree.
Ahhh Cookie, you are describing my solo, 10 day trip two years ago. I stayed first in a B&B in the Marais, followed by the George Cinq. Such disparity, but so wonderful. I didn't speak English at all while there. Total submersion into the culture. I simply wondered around everyday doing what ever struck my fancy--shopping for breakfast, drinking wine at cafes, shopping, museums, walking into things becasue I was staring at buildings. I think I only missed visiting two districts. Oddly, my favorite night was a Saturday spent in a French Supermarket in L'Defense. Strange, but true! Everyone was shopping. It was like a disco with canned goods. Just walking around the cheese section with it's horrific odor sampling all of the cheeses took me over an hour. Heaven!

New York has neon, Berlin has bars, But ah! Paree! Shanghai has silk and Madrid guitars. But ah! Paree!In Cairo you find bizarre bazaars. In London 'pip! pip!' you sip tea. But when it comes to love. None of the above Compares, compris? So if it's making love That rou're thinking of, Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Paree! I have seen the ruins of Rome, I've been in the igloos of Nome. I have gone to Moscow. it's very gay-- Well, anyway. On the first of May. I have seen Rangoon and Soho, And I like them more than so-so. But when there's a moon. Goodbye, Rangoon-- Hello. Montmartre, hello! Peking has rickshaws, New Orleans jazz. But ah! Paree! Beirut has sunshine -- that's all it has, But ah! Paree! Constantinople has Turkish baths And Athens that lovely debris. Carlsbad may have a spa. But for ooh-la-la, You come with me! Carlsbad is where you're cured After you have toured Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Paree!
