AN OLD TRIP TO PARIS IN 2014

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.

A VISIT TO NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL IN 2014

À vaillant coeur rien d’impossible. 

~Jacques Cœur~

“For a valiant heart nothing is impossible.”

In 2014, I was in Paris and had the blessing of seeing Notre Dame Cathedral with my own eyes.  The tragedy of the fire affected me deeply.  

This is my humble tribute to Notre Dame, to Parisiennes everywhere, to the people of France.  

"And just as the Phoenix rose from 

The ashes, she too will rise,

Returning from the flames clothed

In nothing but her strength,

More beautiful than ever before.
