I've never been to Paris so it is nice to hear about it and see the remarkable structures and landscape. (I wonder the same thing about bloggers who disappear~~ some as fast as they came on the scene).<br />MeemsMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-4313446294556809992012-02-11T11:54:42.094-07:002012-02-11T11:54:42.094-07:00Enjoyed walking around Paris with you. : )

Maybe I should try that!! <br />I've had blogger friends too who have just stopped posting who I miss. I've made the decision to quit a time or two but miss it and always come back again!happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-55097234076991576562012-02-11T09:53:54.890-07:002012-02-11T09:53:54.890-07:00Hi Chris, you do write so entertainingly.

I love red wine and would love to speak French fluently so perhaps I should try your method, even if it doesn't work it would be fun trying ;-) perhaps not worth the sore head though!!!<br /><br />I used to sometimes look at Edith Hope's blog, it was certainly unusual!<br /><br />Lovely photos again, the stained glass is beautiful.<br /><br />I also enjoyed the Cranes on the last post, what a lot there were!!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-4616743761788547332012-02-11T09:36:12.508-07:002012-02-11T09:36:12.508-07:00I agree...your posts are wonderful...like being th...I agree...your posts are wonderful...like being there with you..and french speaking..ha ha...that must have been a hoot...and Yes..I miss Edith very much..what a lady...but I think she got bored with us ..with it...she got out of it what she wanted..seems almost a challenge to her to do it for the length of time that she did...but I do miss her wonderful words..I suspect that she was really MC Beaton...her writing sounded so much like her character....Agatha Raisin<br />I asked her about it and she said she nothing of this writer..haSuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-36798973163956255292012-02-11T09:09:08.335-07:002012-02-11T09:09:08.335-07:00I'm really loving your stories of your travels...I'm really loving your stories of your travels in France - fascinating information about Paris.

Paris is a wonderful city with an overwhelming amount to see and do.<br /><br />The secret to seeing the Mona Lisa and other famous treasures is to go on Wednesday evening when the museum is open until 21:45.

But, I'm afraid it seemed to me to be a great big disappointment after all the hype. Such a small painting! The Notre-Dame's stained glass window you've featured is breathtakingly lovely.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-61756068711216360942012-02-11T05:24:12.125-07:002012-02-11T05:24:12.125-07:00I am so entertained by your travels.

I love the story of the red wine and the French Fairy. :) I am also touched by your reflections of your disappearing blogger friend.

I would go again today if I could. Walking about is the only way to see the place properly eh? Did you see the love locks covering some of the bridges?Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-5814147303096511852012-02-11T01:59:22.125-07:002012-02-11T01:59:22.125-07:00I LOVE this post!

I also love your reference to French wine and that it made you feel happy and as a "native French speaker" :)It always works!! And yes it is a pity that you didn't see Mona Lisa as she is really beautiful, but on the other hand you would most likely have been disappointed as she is small and you have to queue in line to see her! <br />Next time you must, especially if you happen to be in Paris when they put its "twin painting" next to her. <br />You certainly read that they discovered that there was a 2nd painting (which they knew about for years) but they have now asserted that it had been painting by Vinci's first assistant with the help of the Master, and at the same time than Mona Lisa! Hope I don't bore you but I like all this stuff!! :)Travel France Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944836623797085969noreply@blogger.com
