Travel Tuesday.....Paris streets

The moment we got of the train both Todd and I were excited, but so tired.

As we were walking in search of our hotel, we entered a small street with just a few people. Then …. a woman shouting from behind us. I think we both jumped! Then in front of us this man turns around, drops his bags right there in the middle of the street. The woman comes running past us & they both embrace , hugging & kissing. It was like a scene straight out of a movie. Only it wasn’t. It was right here in front of us. That is how I started my first trip to Paris.

View from outside the Hotel Du Centre & from our window.

Day & Night

View down the road from our window

At the end of our street was the famous Folies Bergere. We had no idea we were that close when we booked that hotel. You could see it from the window. I’ve always seen so many posters for this place. It was very cool to see it for real.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Its not a very good one. I had to take it with the window closed. I didn’t want to startle the little old lady feeding the birds. It was about 7 am.

This is the market where the lady had been standing. The market has just opened. I love all the fresh flowers!

 On the Champs Elysees. The building was under construction. I love how they disguise it :)

This is the market I tried my best at speaking French. I got what I needed, but I had no idea what he said back! At least I can say I tried!!
Next week I’ll share some of my favorites from Monet’s garden in Giverny. It was so absolutely beautiful. Here’s a sneak peak…..

Au revoir!!
