Its 3 am; I just got home - only the US folks will be up. I walked from 9:30 to 12:30, then ate a long meal. <BR/><BR/>At 7 the concierge came. (He's a guide at Versailles.) He said he used to work at Maisons Lafitte. He always wanted to go into the room with the marquetry I told you of, but was never offered the chance - he was quite jealous, in a happy way. He also said the Boulles School is very famous. Its named for the man who first developed marquetry and made many pieces at Versailles. What a theme! He then told me about a area in the 9th/10th that I'm going to explore before I go! <BR/><BR/>But, tonight - I walked silent, empty,lamplit streets all the way down to the river, then across to the Place de la Concorde. I saw 3 more houses from the 14-1500's. The Mairie in the 3d was all glowing blue icicles and white light fans for Christmas. In the last two days I've seen greenery, bows and lights - I guess France doesn't start as early as the US. The Hotel de Ville has flashing white strobes you can see from the 16th and the ice skating rink is almost up. I wanted to see the Seine before I went and I got the chance to hear it slapping, slapping gently up against the stone embankments as well, in that dark stillness.<BR/><BR/>Around 11, nearing the Pont des Arts I saw a crowd silhouetted against bright lights near the Academie Francaise. My breath white as I crossed the river, I saw a film shoot. The crew guy at the barricade said it was an action film. When I asked if it was Academy members dueling, he laughed and said no, it was a John Travolta movie. He let me thru the set and I watched as they shot two men (neither JT) walking towards the Louvre! Hopefully they won't cut that scene, and I'll have another souveneir!! Later, recrossing on another bridge, I met a Japanese art student out with tripod and camera. We talked about loving Paris for awhile, then went our separate ways. I finished the night with choucroute and baba au rhum -- the bed looks good tonight.<BR/>Tomorrow, my last moments here. Then off.....Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978433496142392475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-79903743049663001632008-12-02T02:13:00.000+01:002008-12-02T02:13:00.000+01:00This is one awesome shot!

However, I was just saying that, although of course I'd like to see the Eiffel Tower again, I've no wish to see the sights particularly. I just like the French way of life and would be happy at cafes, bookshops and yes the flea markets. It is not the market which is the same as at home; it is the contents, which are French! The books are French, for a start. It's a personal thing, of course, just saying which would be my choice. It's not the only thing I'd like; I'd like to see some design houses, art galleries but the main thing for me would be being IN Paris! I suppose suffice it to say; strolling and looking, rather than searching and rushing. I've certainly enough of THAT at home! lol...Cheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-63613871068041591932008-12-01T23:16:00.000+01:002008-12-01T23:16:00.000+01:00And that's...okay.(Franken may be our next Senator...And that's...okay.<BR/><BR/>(Franken may be our next Senator, I have a right!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-12455191966451470432008-12-01T23:14:00.000+01:002008-12-01T23:14:00.000+01:00Walking Paris certainly does not mean fast-trek, b...Walking Paris certainly does not mean fast-trek, blistered feet, and touristy. I do not know why somebody automatically assumes that. Walk to see what you want to see, take your time, stroll, have a café, ou un verre du vin. Don't sweat it. My point is flea markets are pretty much the same everywhere other than the acreage (size matters?). I don't understand going to a different city and doing the same thing you do at home. Why bother leaving home? Are you going to carry that (French) armoir you found on the plane home?<BR/><BR/>If you are visiting, you are a tourist. Anything you do is as a tourist. Don't be ashamed of that. Meeting local people, having a picnic, a drink, dinner, is great. You are still a tourist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-75570379200064034682008-12-01T21:40:00.000+01:002008-12-01T21:40:00.000+01:00Wow..fantastic shoots...We add you to our favourit...Wow..fantastic shoots...<BR/>We add you to our favourites.<BR/>Well done..Marcinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11517620776292137700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-14721463653462817012008-12-01T21:34:00.000+01:002008-12-01T21:34:00.000+01:00Happy December all!
