Nearly five years have gone by since I shared this post with you. As Hepburn said, Paris is always a good idea, once it re-opens, and safe to visit. There have been a number of new followers and not everyone wanders back in a blog’s archives so I’m playing it again… and hope you won’t mind?
“Paris is always a good idea.” – Audrey Hepburn
“You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.” – Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
“Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.” – Mae West
“No temptation can ever be measured by the value of its object.” – Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

You must remember this…
“We’ll always have Paris”
Rick whispers to Ilsa
The memories of
Passion born
Romantic interlude
Lucien taking my hand
Dans la Louvre
His deep resonating accent
Thick as a fine paté,
A call to arms, to lips, tongues…
Two arms guide me
Lost in Ribera’s
Club-footed boy
Spanish room
His favourite,
La Louvre closes
I’m introduced to
The Latin quarter,
Notre Dame,
Secluded niche
Spring grasses,
Canopy of leaves
Along the Seine
City of light
La ville de l’amour
No need for translation
Communication
Flows freely
Play it again…

Bisous,
