Paris Post: Photos from September 12

October 26, 2009

I know I’m about 6 weeks behind in posting my Paris pictures. I’ll work on getting caught up over the next week or so. Not to worry, I’m still taking lots of pictures, I just have to sort through them to show you the best ones. (Nothing more boring that looking at someone’s BAD travel pictures…)

On Saturday, September 12th, we went to Parc de Bercy … big park and gardens which is next door to a big music sports / concert hall (this is where Madonna played when last here).

Alas, I don’t have any pictures of the outdoor restaurant, complete with live DJ spinning groove 1960s albums, where we sat and had a beer in the sun.

More to come :)

    I shall add this to my list of places to visit in Paris. I’ve just set my mind to learning to speak French. Thanks for the audio from Kate Raidt this weekend Shelley. I’m determined to learn that language now, and I’m happy to make many childish mistakes. I’m going to speak that language even if I sound like I’m rolling a hotdog around in my mouth! (OK, that metaphor doesn’t have quite the same punch when applied in this fashion, but that mental image is pretty amusing isn’t it?)

    Au revoir-
    Nancy

    Looks like a great place to take some photos to paint from – hint hint!
    And the sun was shining, always a bonus
    Looking forward to seeing more of Paris soon
    A bientot
