Parisian picspam

We made it home on Tuesday, but since then it's been a whirlwind of appointments, meetings, putting together an order of service, planning flowers, phoning people and so on. Paris was very good for us, though, even if my poor creaky knees suffered.

What a marvelous time you had! I have not been to Paris in decades and it was lovely to catch a glimpse of it again through your eyes.

What lovely pictures (although my mind is blown by the idea that Spike went ginger at one point - Johnny Rotten eat your heart out????????)!

And thank you very much! Re I and C, one day, Gill. One day!

He wasn't ginger but since he has blonde/brownish year with a different kind of light they seemed almost red. *creates headcanons*

Beautiful! I especially love the street picture with the little kids!

Lovely pics! I haven't been to Paris since 98, and honestly, there's a good chance I'll never go back, but these pictures soothed my soul :)

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

Lovely - I've actually never been to the Invalides, there's just always so much to see instead. (In fact, I haven't visited Paris for yonks, just changed trains and complained about the metro trips. I should fix that.)

You must pop over to Lille sometime. There's a large roomful of relief plans of the Nord forts now in the Palais des Beaux Arts - it's the official repository for that region (? permanently, or just during the Invalides works, I'm not sure: http://www.pba-lille.fr/spip.php?article63 - aha, yes, permanently, though some remain in Paris). But it's such an easy trip and Lille's worth seeing in general. This way there's definitely something in it for Dave!
