Paris adventure

Bonjour!

Montmartre


It's 11:05 AM and I am seated at my computer looking out the window on a beautiful sunny day in Troyes, France.

Beautiful sunny day in Troyes


I am attempting my first blog, but not sure where to start. I will just taking it easy while I relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, reminisce and great thoughts of  " how my week in Paris was magnificent!" Some great adventure, exploring, meeting up with friends, practicing my French, trying new exquisite cuisine, admiring french architecture with it's awe-inspiring monuments, breath taking structures with lights illuminating the buildings and streets; oh so magical! not forgetting the unique gothic cathedrals. 
Statue of Liberty Paris.


Some places I made it my duty to visit. The symbolic Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triompe with it's impressive sculptures, Montmatre which was very interesting and impressive, the medieval Catholic Cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris which is beautiful from every angle, relaxing at Pont Alexandre taking in the stunning view, I could not get enough! So many more places to visit. I drove past the world's largest art museum, The Louvre, but I will be back to explore, time was limited.



Arc De Triompe


I was trigger happy of course, why not! I enjoy photographing everything and bringing my photographs to life; so I took lots of photos. Considering the weather was conducive, sunny all week, I took full advantage. Thank goodness I wore comfortable sneakers, because it was hours of walking, the best way to discover the charming City in my opinion and a great way to keep active as well, burning a few calories, especially if you love good food like I do! French cuisine was miammiam!

I waited many years for this trip, preparing myself, taking French classes in Saint Lucia and in Montreal/Quebec where I lived for four years. I even completed a two year course in "French as a Second Language" I obtained a Diploma. I knew I was ready to discover France, especially Paris. You can add to your bucket list, there will be no regrets. "Was my experience astounding? Absolutely!!! Paris is definitely a must see!"
Alors! back to the moment.


La Defense


I am still seated at my computer, my eyes piercing through the window. It feels good to see the blue sky which reminds me of my beautiful island in the Caribbean; St Lucia! Vacation is almost ended, one month went by too fast, just a couple more days to go before heading back home.  I am happy for this wonderful experience, an extraordinary one.

Oooops I need to get ready, joining friends in Troyes for lunch.

More about my Troyes experience in my next blog. More photos below for your viewing pleasure.

Do enjoy.

Until next time;  bonne journée :)

A seat awaits you.

A stroll along the beach; a great way to unwind, get inspired and enjoy a sunset. There is magic all around, the high flying shore birds, the hammocks in the ocean, the beautiful flowers, palm trees, the sound of gently lapping waves, the reflection of the sunlight on the ocean, a magnificent sunset, the sensation of the wind blowing through my hair so invigorating and pleasurable. I am intoxicated by the wonder of it all and being alive is truly a blessing and a beautiful thing.  Swing seats with a view of the Sunset . It does not end here, there is that perfect seat! the ultimate bar swing! hoorah! The wooden fixture with swing seats for my relaxation; total comfort that's absolutely amazing! This calls for a refreshing drink; maybe a cocktail or champagne.  A little chitchat with a friendly bartender who is always smiling and ready to serve, a compilation of soothing Caribbean music and a view of the breathtaking sunset. What more can I ask for? I ndeed ...

I am seated at my desk in the lobby with this magnificent view of the ocean. Reminds me that I need " vitamin Sea !" Oh well!!  Since I have been back on the job, it's been quiet but gives me enough time to get back in touch with reality after one month vacation that was super! Today, my blog will be short because I am exhausted. However, I need to share a little information with you about a Town in Martinique called Saint-Pierre which I visited last week.
