L'Hotel - where Oscar Wilde died - and where we had coffee and hot chocolate on our last evening in Paris...
My precious...
My other precious... and the Seine...
I had a melt down in the Tuileries, she offered me comfort...
Then I comforted her friend...
This was my favorite statue in the Tuileries in 2000...still love it...
Pont des Arts...where the locals eat, drink and are merry. My apartment is on the other side of the Institute of France (the domed building)...
With Stefane (left) and Charlotte at Le Flore (*love* those girls!)...
Such a thrill to come to Shakespeare and Company!
My version of Google Maps...
The Louboutin boutique at 19, rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau...
Le Procope - the oldest restaurant in Paris (1686). Nobody cool ever ate here - unless you count Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, or Voltaire...
...and these two boys...
...whom I wanted to tuck into my purse and bring home with me...
Oh yeah - we ate Procope, too!
In line at the Eiffel Tower...
The sun setting on Paris...
Champagne and diamonds...
Sacre Coeur through a clock at Musee d'Orsay...
At Orsay...
A real live accordian player outside Notre Dame...
My Parisian home away from home - Cafe Flore...
I just checked out Gary's blog...looks like we had the same idea today. Click here for more pics o' Paris.

Dear Shannon, These photos certainly do represent a "Picture Perfect Paris". I love them because they're not the typical "tourist" photos of the major landmarks of Paris, but photos of places that one rarely sees of Paris. They're intimate and touching photos - I love the ones of you on the statues in the Jardin des Tuileries, you with some of the local gems that you met, inside cafes, on the street, and your google map with those gorgeous yet trusty sandals!! :) And you and your husband - adorable! You both resonate such love and respect for each other. Oh what a joy to have found your blog! I'm reliving so many good memories of my own. I just wish I had had a husband to share it all with (he was back on the farm :(, who is not only drop-dead handsome, but sensitive to your needs, loving and happy to share in the joys you found in Paris! You are what you attract, and I think he's very fortunate to have you, dear friend. :)
