Shot looking back at Notre Dame near one of our favorite cafes along the Seine on the Ile St. Louis, Le Lutetia (which was Paris' original name dating back to Pre-Roman times). Many a Kir and Chocolat Chaud have been blissfully sipped at one of their outdoor corner tables here rain or shine. Under the eave for protection from the sun or with the outdoor heater over us, only the drink depends on the weather!Photographs copyright: Kirsten Steen
How gorgeous. I am missing it, too!
ReplyDeleteSplendid! The setting is perfect:)
ReplyDeleteThanks g. and Ms. Lucy! Wishing I was there right now sipping a hot chocolate and watching the people.

Fifi,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Makes me so want to stroll the lower walkways of the Seine on a balmy summer evening!
Absolutely gorgeous! It would look great in a frame on my wall! So I can stare and daydream about it all day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy and don't forget to read the earlier Sarah Dunant book (Birth of Venus)!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next book review!

This is a stunning photo! I missed Ile St Louis last weekend in Paris but will have to revisit in September. It's charming. And I'll look for that cafe
ReplyDeleteOh my! I'm afraid I've found another beautiful blog, to follow. Not that I need one more. But... What can I do? When I find them, I simply have to toddle along.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely photos! And especially the 'Missing Paris' ones.
10 years ago, we had a wonderful 8 days in Paris. Many happy memories. Only one visit, but it's more than I had ever really expected, to be able to make.

Aunt Amelia,

Wow! I found your blog through Sotto Voce and am glad I stopped by. Brilliant photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tulsa, I'm glad you came by too. Love Sotto Voce's blog as well. Will have to stop by yours!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking you've got to publish a book on Blurb called Missing Paris featuring your photos and memories. It would be terrific.
