PARIS ~ The City of Light

I really want to start posting about my trip to France last Summer but am short of time today. Will just show you these few photos I took of the Eiffel Tower - and promise more of Paris, the Southwest Minervois area where my brother now lives, and Provence.........also our fun little side trip to Northern Spain.




This photo gives you an idea as to the amazing size of the Eiffel Tower! It was granddaughter Jasmin's first visit and she was flabbergasted to find it SO BIG. It was also ninety degrees that day and we almost melted into the ground awaiting the elevator to the top.

Stay tuned - more later.

  1. HI Mary, thanks for stopping by my blog. I hate to have made you feel homesick with the bluebells but im glad you enjoyed seeing them. I am American actually so i do understand that homesick feeling even after lots of years in another country. Your pics of France look fabulous, cant wait to see more. lots of people died last year there because of the heat there didnt they?
