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 :)

Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones

  Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones.   Not sure if it is the same for you, but too many people I am acquainted with are dying, friends and family members as well. In my opinion it's very important to cherish every single moment with loved ones, the happy and sad moments. Too many people are always angry and fighting over trivial things. Life is unpredictable and we are just passing through this world, therefore our ultimate goal should be to live in harmony with one another while protecting our inner peace.          YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vECaaNt090 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChezTropic Tik tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheztropic?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
