2. I spent a week a few blocks from there and did not know about it. I could kick myself

for not getting a guidebook. Thanks for posting Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I hope you can go back someday, my dear applegrove. It's worth it.

[applegrove]

5. I hope to. But maybe not in summer with all the heat they are getting these days.

You went at the right time.

12. I understand that going in the fall is good. September or October.

It's cooler, most of the tourists are gone and the rainy season hasn't gotten underway yet.

Also, prices are lower! I don't know how much lower, though.

13. I was there in december once and another time in July. One of my favourite memories

is helping out a bus tour mate with her lost purse. I was the only one on the tour who spoke french. We raced through the streets on foot to get back to where she lost her purse/wallet. There was a group of us. It was about 4 am. The bakeries were on each street as you would know. They were baking. It smelt so good. France does not smell as good once all the baking is done. It was heaven.

6. Oooo ..... so dramatic!

Reminds me of a school of fish swimming at night!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Yup, the drama is heightened with cropping! Glad you enjoyed, my dear Ohiogal.

7. One of the most beautiful places

I have ever visited. Stayed for hours. Wanted to lay on the floor and try to see it all at one time, but old man here was afraid I couldn't get back up!

Thanks for posting. Great memories!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thanks so much, my dear Dave in VA!

I hear you about not being able to get up! Yikes.

It might be OK in an amazing place like this one.

10. That is a really clever picture

Stained glass without light sharts.... genius

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Thanks so much, my dear Soph!

Light sharts? Or is that a misspelling? I am no genius, however!

The angle that I took the photo might have contributed to its beauty. Certainly not a conscious move on my part!

14. I loved the gold with the red and the blue

on the decorations below with the fleur de lis pattern/design.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thank you so much, my dear BigmanPigman!

It's a beautiful part of the picture.

16. Beautiful!!

I'd like to go back to Paris and visit all the places that I didn't have time to see during my last visit!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Thanks so much, my dear Callalily!

To do that, you might as well move there! So much to see there.

[Callalily]

18. Very true!
