If you two lovely ladies lived closer we could meet here…
at Place Colette...
and on to the Palais Royal for some window shopping,
the centuries-old arcades are perfect for strolling
and admiring the modern sculpture in the courtyard
perhaps we’ll have a special scent created at Shiseido
Take a spin through Monsieur Ludot’s vintage style
find the perfect LBD at La Petite Robe
Explore the boutiques and galleries
Taxi across Paris …
and stop at Laduree for tea and macarons to
celebrate special blogland friendships!
In blogland you never know what you may find…
Merci Rachel and Gail

Hi Mimi, as soon as I saw Place Colette it brought memories back of my trip in August. I saw a group of musicians there, the weather was sunny and the place was packed. It was lovely. Oh memories.
Hello dear lady...

Bonjour! Congratulations on your awards ~ you deserve them!!
Beautiful photos of the Palais Royal, I really like the pink VW also!
We loved strolling along the streets, we must have walked 10-15 miles each day. We found so many wonderful boutiques and met many nice people. I miss the markets! The apartment we rented is located at Rue Saint-Dominique and Rue Rapp. Just this morning, my husband said he would like to stay there again.
Have a lovely week!
xoxo, B
That little pink car is so very cute!!
