I have been out in the States for a while so there is a lot I don't know about Paris anymore. <BR/><BR/>The impression I get during my visits to Paris through the years is that the City seemed to remain pretty much the same throughout the 80's but then one day, I came back and everything seemed to have changed, they had built new buildings and renovated entire areas while other areas had fallen in ways I would never have imagined in a million years.Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1134377322516428092005-12-12T09:48:00.000+01:002005-12-12T09:48:00.000+01:00every year, I am startled by this beautiful sight....every year, I am startled by this beautiful sight. thanks for reminding me that I have to go to Champs Elysées!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1134375355942999612005-12-12T09:15:00.000+01:002005-12-12T09:15:00.000+01:00SAB, I'm glad the champs Elysées are, again, full ...SAB, I'm glad the champs Elysées are, again, full of expensive stores (the new Louis Vuitton building is really a must) .

But then, I've been to Paris more times than I can count but never been up the Eiffel tower, so what do know? I can't even remember the name of the restaurant that the name of the restaurant I used to eat in for 5F a three course meal (wine included - it was in the guinness book of records). Marais has got a bit too commericalised for me, too.

Same thing, I suppose, when you have to fight your way through<BR/>the masses of walking tourists. Also true, I suppose, that many of the expensive stores lining the<BR/>avenue are not that interesting, although there is (or used to be) a music store with an impressive<BR/>selection, there, that was totally worth the trip, not too far from the Lido, and the Pub Renault, on<BR/>the other side, was a totally cool place to hang out years ago - not sure if it's still there or quite<BR/>the same thing, now.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think the Champs Elysees and its surrounding areas (especially towards the bottom<BR/>of the Avenue) are gorgeous. Plus, no matter how you feel about the tourists or the traffic, you<BR/>have to admit that the design of this avenue is very impressive.<BR/><BR/>To tell the truth, I was kind of hoping to find this very picture on your blog before the end of the<BR/>holiday season, but night pictures being what they are, I wasn't sure what it would end up looking like! So, well done, Eric, and thank you very much for taking this picture for us! I'm sure there are many people drooling all over it as I type right now, because after all, it really is a typical Paris landmark.Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1134236235357345412005-12-10T18:37:00.000+01:002005-12-10T18:37:00.000+01:00Wow that is breathtaking, I'm sure even more so in...Wow that is breathtaking, I'm sure even more so in person.

It's now just an enormous rich-people's extravaganza, apart from the McDonalds and Quick hamburger places and the cinemas. The traffic is omnipresent and there are just millions of tourists there all the time - hardly romantic. Call me cynical, but we both know there are a lot more beautiful places in Paris than this big thoroughfare! Nice picture though!Sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273148512437196010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1134210557281652622005-12-10T11:29:00.000+01:002005-12-10T11:29:00.000+01:00A wonderful sight Eric.

Thanks, Eric!<BR/><BR/>I have noticed that, though they are later than the US timetable for holiday decorations, the lights are really starting to come out. Last night I found new blue lights and white snowflakes hanging in the Place d'Italie--almost a new thing to discover every day. Kind of like opening each door of the Advent Calendar--every day there seems to be a new treat!Ronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755869501331386672noreply@blogger.com
