I have been going through my old blog and found photos from a family group trip we took to France in the summer of 2014. We stayed in Paris for a few nights and then moved onto Normandy.
This is a place I was drawn to, just down the road from our hotel. We passed by every day while we were in Paris. It is the Fontaine Saint-Michel at the Place Saint-Michel (1858 to1860). It depicts the Archangel Saint Michael slaying the dragon. You can click on all the links for more information.
I took a quick shot of the Gendarmes making their rounds.
The Notre Dame Cathedral and the River Seine.
The two of us.
There are pedicab cycles for a tour around Paris, or you can rent your own electric bicycle.
One of the many restaurants we passed by where we had a meal. I can't remember much of it except that it was a crepe and I am sure it must have been delicious.
It is a city I have always wanted to go back to but haven't made it yet. Life has slowed down for us quite a bit these days, but it's fun to look back at these photos.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great day.
Beautiful photos, Denise. We have a Notre Dame Cathedral here in Old Montreal. This is where Celine Dion got married. It is also the place where her husband's funeral took place.I enjoyed this post and your memories very much, dear friend 🧡
ReplyDeleteI love the dragon fountain! And what a splendid photo of the two of you! I especially like the first Paris creation you made with the doves and cab!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see these photos of your trip back in 2014. Always good to look back at photos and share, Denise.
ReplyDeleteOur memories are treasures.
ReplyDeleteEach day is a blessing 🙏🏽
ReplyDeleteThat's the great thing about photos: they can take you back to places you haven't been to for a long time.
ReplyDeleteParis has a way of leaving you longing to return
ReplyDeleteHello Denise,
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos from Paris, you have some great trip memories.
Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
Life slows down for all of us, Denise, so these photographic memories take on extra significance. My closest association with Paris in recent years has been to make connecting flights at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. That hardly qualifies as a visit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous trip this must have been. I love seeing the architecture. so impressive
