Paris.....

With summer approaching, what's a gal to do except head to Paris. So, with my french obsession, I packed my suitcase and headed to an apartment in Montmartre. The week was filled with visits to The Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, the Moulin Rouge, the Palace of Versailles, Monet's House & Garden in Giverny, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Opera House, the Madeline Church, and of course, shopping along the Champs-Elysees. As I walked down various streets, admiring the amazing buildings and cafe's, I was reminded of Paris from decades ago. I imaged Audrey Hepburn strolling along the streets, for the many movies she filmed in this gorgeous city. I imaged the writers and artists from so long ago....and I could feel my brain attempting to soak up their talent and inspiration. It is truly a city of inspiration...its a magical place...one that I hope to visit again. Soon. à bientôt.
