A fabulous weekend shopping, eating and
admiring Christmas decorations around Paris.
The carousel at the foot of the Trocadero and
overlooking the Eiffel Tower...my honey
was getting nervous as we passed by because I love to ride.
I think it is romantic
It is definitely not his favorite thing to do, but he is sweet and patient with me,
so I let him off the hook.
Also, I couldn't bring myself to take the place of the adorable children waiting for a ride
Pardon moi for the shaky images - it was cold and rainy on Saturday night, and I just could not keep the camera steady!
Despite the rain and slick streets, the Avenue des Champs Elysées was crowded.
Window display of fine teas
Hediard, a gourmet's Heaven decked out in all its finery.
I'll be posting more boutique decorations this week.
Put a Little Ooh La La in Your Life!

Paris is certainly looking gorgeous in her Christmas outfit ! A beautiful city looking even more beautiful at this festive time. XXXX
So beautiful - I just love the carousel too - I would want to ride on it every time too!! :-)
I love, love, love this. It's as if I'm here and I'm not here. It's fabulous seeing "our" city through your eyes.
It's like a special cadeau.

Oh how I dream of visiting Paris. I do keep hinting for when me and the man do a long train journey tour around Europe. Paris always looks so lovely!
Even with the rain it is still one the most beautiful places in the world and I thank you for sharing it with me.
Have a lovely week my dear.
My dear Mimi,
thank you so much for sharing these gorgeous pics of Paris so magniticently "dressed up" for the holiday season. Never been in Paris but looking at your pics and reading your post you are making me want to fly there right away!
I'm a wee bit jealous you are there surrounded by all that beauty and that charm.
Tres romantique!!

I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading your incredibly kind comments! It is so much fun to read your postings and pretend I am living your life in Paris!! You must be having an incredible time living there. The photographs are so inspiring. Maybe one day I can get the nerve to get on a plane and actually see these places you bring to us from your new home. Thanks for making it possible for me to have a little Parisian dream. You HAVE put a lot of OO LA LA in my life!
I am so glad I have met you. I'm putting your button on my blog:)

Mimi,
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and commenting. Your blog is beautiful, Paris is one of my favourite places, I even wrote about it in 'My Favourite Places' post. I have visited a few times and love it. I have never been there in Christmas but from your photographs it looks truly wonderful. I'll be stopping by your blog from now on.
All things nice...

Oh Paris, Paris...it's always so beautiful, I want to go there when it's sprint, I want to go there when it's summer, I want to go there when it's autumn, and now I want to go there for Christmas!
beautiful Christmas city :)
Your welcome honey! You truly deserve the award. Your blog inspires me every day. Hope you are having a great day friend. Kori xoxo
I just love your blog...
But I'm confused...and behind. You met your husband in Paris??? He's French??? You moved there, from where??? When??? I must know it all.
Finally, I am finding all these French blogs, I love it!

Paris is always great but I'm sure that in Christmas time it must be wonderful! Magical pictures!

Bonjour,
I hope I don't get lost here in your millions of comments. I have a tiny request: I'm doing a special Christmas post and I have a question for you -- your input would be great. Because I want it to be a surprise could you e-mail me so it stays "off-the-record" until it's "unwrapped"?
If you would be so kind, please e-mail me at tishjett@yahoo.com and I'll explain everything.
Merci par avance.
