Angels we have seen on high. Clooney reigns over rue de Passy.
At the Trocadero roundabout. No, these cars aren't moving. There were 3 lanes of parked cars there, waiting to pick up VIPs from some event at the Palais. In the middle of the street. Only in Paris.
Who's not wearing his seatbelt?
The carousel on Bld des Ternes.
One of those grand Paris buildings.
If you could get rid of the monstrosity to the left of the church and all the cars in front, you'd almost think this was a small town outside Paris. Almost.
I love this restaurant front in Montmartre.
Faites votre choix! Starbucks does Paris. But only the names have changed--it all looks and tastes the same.
Score! My Amazon order arrived today, along with a lovely gift from Jenny's trip to Rome.
And can you believe it--I uploaded the video! It's nothing thrilling, just on my way home past the Arc de Triomphe. I almost died the first time the bus launched itself into the Etoile (roundabout), not realizing it's the opposite here to Australia--traffic coming onto the etoile has right-of-way. I thought for sure we'd be killed, but everyone stopped for us, so...

Faites votre choix! Fruits? Chocolat? Caramel? OUI! Muffin, pain, croissant. I'm dying here, you know. Especially because I'm snowed in, and now I can't go get any croissant. :-(
LOVED the video!
The video is great.
What is it that George is selling, by the way?
I love you and I hate you (enviously, of course) but this post has made me want to get out with my camera into Sydney town tomorrow... pix up next week.
Gabrielle, I thought of you yesterday when I took the kids to our fave crêperie for lunch.
My dessert crêpe was spread with marmelade, filled with mandarin sorbet, drenched with Grand Marnier and decorated with whipped cream... You would have lurrrrved it, non?
Great pics - I feel like I'm there! And I'm still waiting for my amazon order - should be sometime today. :)
There's something about a stack of new books with appealing titles. I wish I could just freeze time and read them all!
Love the video. I can't believe you get to go 'round the Arc every day. You are so lucky!
That traffic is something else!
I miss, miss, miss all the amazing food over there!!
Even coming from a blasé expat living in France myself, it's always great to see these kinds of photos and remind myself that I am lucky to be here. I work down the street from the Arc, and I take the RER to and from Charles de Gaulle every day -- and yet I never really stop to appreciate it as often as I should...
Enjoying reading your blog!
