I bet you could make lots of discoveries in there. Not quite as good as a chocolaterie, but almost. Linda, Your French is showing when you call it a pistache! Here in America, we still say pistachio!

That IS an unusual shot of the Pompidou. Did you actually climb that hill or take the tram? It looks like something out of an “ironman” competition, and would have done me in.

Some interesting perspectives again. I think the one yellow leg in front of the green bicycle is perfect.

I’ve had a lot of fun using your blog to check out Paris sites during my short stay here. Just crossed the bridge with the locks this morning. I have also tried to learn from the photos in your blog how to look at ordinary things (tables, chairs, window displays) with a fresh eye. I will be reading your blog in the future with great feelings of nostalgia.

The photos were great. Then I felt the video was moving too fast but when you slowed down or even stopped for a second I was able to really appreciate what I was looking at. I was not bothered by the art on the sides of the buildings because they were so plain but when I saw the painting on the rock walls at first I was upset but then I realized it was only paint and could appreciate it for what it was, meaning contemporary art and not meant to last forever.

Yes, the tour is a great idea. Another way for innovative people to make money in Paris. Now I just need to think of one so I can move over there. That tree looks so real. I can’t believe it’s painted on.

Hi Linda,
Great post, photos and video! It was lovely to meet you on the tour!

That sounds like a fun idea for a tour to get off the beaten path.

What an elegant cow. I’ve seen in various places decorated dogs, bears, sheep, even giant lobsters, but never cows. US cities tend to do them as fundraisers, usually for arts groups, so the critters are sold or auctioned at the end of their display period.

Enjoyed seeing the cow. On my last trip to Guam then had something similar, but with water buffalo. It’s fun to see!
