La Grande Roue

La Grande Roue

La Grand Roue (big wheel) is 60 m high
pretty sick embroidery!

Temps de Noël avec mes amis!

Yay for the Obelisk!Well, Bonjour Arc de Triomphe!

To really get a birds eye view of the famed Champs-Élysées, the ferris wheel at the Place de la Concorde is parfait! From wiki "Place de la Concorde is one of the major public squares in Paris, France. In fact, in terms of area, its 86,400 square metres make it the largest square in the French capital. It is located in the city's eighth arrondissement, at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées."

La Grande Roue was created to celebrate the millnium. It is available through November and January every year.

Ma maison de promenade

I just love Paris at dusk. On my walk home from school the saying "City of Lights" is wonderfully visibly. Enjoy. Enjoy. Amour pur!

Le Marche Gourmand



This happened last weekend on my street, Voltaire. They had gorgeous gourmet chocolates, cheeses, meats, macaroons, and vins. The marches occur in different neighborhoods once a month. Dusk in Paris is so beautiful, and to have Le Marche Gourmand occur on my street at dusk after a wonderful Thanksgiving made it feel too good to be living here.

Vendange de Montmarte

I attended the Vendanges de Montmarte avec mon petit ami. It was lots of fun of coure. I bought fig jam with walnuts-delish! We both tasted different wines and ate escargot. As I was eating my snails a very happy french woman told me to make a wish, because for your first snail you must make a wish--cute! I made a wish, but with all that is going on, what could I ask for?

deliciousness & Sacre Couer:)
love the literal signage
Must be approached with reverence.
sustainable and recycled wine designs
this was on the way in the 18th. Corn on the cob anyone?
