We arrived in Paris yesterday morning, checked in to our airport hotel and headed into the city as the day was looking good and the next day not so. We had a few sights to see that we missed when we had a few days here in 2016 - Sacre Coeur, Arc de Triomphe, views of the Eiffel Tower from Trocadero, Place de la Concorde, Place Bastille and Place de Vosges. We also went by Notre Dame and felt very fortunate that we went in and had a look around last time, so sad to see her now. We have published a Self-Guided City Walk for Paris that focuses on the area around Notre Dame, the link is in our bio. . . . . . #parisjadore #parisfrance #sacrecoeur #travelkiwisFrance #TravelKiwis (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5N_mm9CgFu/?igshid=1idvncdacm8zu

Dateline: France May 8th - On this day ((years ago...😉,)) France awoke and embraced sunshine, blue-vaulted skies ...and were finally able to bask in the life affirming, soul restoring truth that tyranny, fascism and too many dark, horrific days were over. ...TODAY many people can readily identify....They say history repeats....who am i too disagree. .. (tho today is a tad overcast...) ..__________ From Wikipedia ."..WWII Victory Day (la fête de la victoire, le jour de la libération) is a holiday to celebrate the end of World War II and the French people's freedom.." _______________ #franceelections2017 #france #parisphoto #ParisMonAmour #paris #igersoftheday #igparis #igfrance #theparisguru #parisjadore #francejetaime #history #europe_focus_on #europelife #politics #focus_on_paris #loves_paris_ #bestcityintheworld #parisian #IgersParis #IgersFrance #parisjetaime #paris_focus_on #париж #Parigi #pariscartepostale #realparisian #ParisCityVision #instaparis #wonderful_places

Forever Young in Paris: ...ran into that 5 yr-old yesterday...staring at this brass object fixed to a door. Kids, eh? _______ ______ "Why that?" I asked? His mute response was to scrunch his shoulders. Then. ..."it's so solid, artful & beautiful...reminds me of a museè..."___ ___ "Yeah. Makes you appreciate living in Paris...if you're aware...you can be amazed by so much .." I said. __ ___"I know" He said. " But you'd better go...you have a ton of work for Monday and those stories to write and a freelance article to pitch"? __ __"Yup". Said I. Kicking at the dust. It's amazing how grown up your inner 5yr-old can be...... _________________________ #paris #parisphoto #streetstyle #streetphotography #parisphoto #parisianlife #urbanbeauty #sidewalkart #love #loves_paris_ #parisfocus_on #parisjadore #parisjetaime #cestmonparis #urban #visitparis #visitfrance #parisisalwaysagoodidea #francecartepostale #travel #urbanexploration #loves_paris_ #doorpic #doors #ornate #pariscityvision #youngatheart #visitparis #brass (at 5th arrondissement of Paris)
