You guys make me long to be back in Paris. It's been 23 years since I was there. I took my mother and we went to the Louvre and Versailles. We took tours to lots of places....we weren't adventurous enough to do much on our own except shopping. I still have two shawls that I bought at Printemps. I wonder if that store is still there. We also went to a show at the Follies Bergere. It was a wonderful trip. I must go back sometime....I wish my mother was still alive...I'd like to take her again. So much has changed since then. We went at a time when the airline I worked for didn't fly to Paris.....and the one we did go on, is sadly no longer in business (Pan Am). But Paris will never change...I hope!
Vivienne qui parle Francais aussi mon cher Vincent. Merci AynEtAl je me suis bien amuse!
Comment excitant ! J'aime que vous puissiez nous garder ayez ainsi informé. L'aimer ! TJ Blog Away~
