French Friday-Hooray!

Today is another day to share with you something French.
I have been thinking about Paris all week and what I love so much about it.
I decided it was the walking around town that was so enjoyable. You never knew what you might come across next.

I miss the beautiful bouquets of flowers available at all the corner florists. I also saw some of the most incredible rose bushes ready to take home.
Walking down the narrow streets you would see all kinds of people and businesses.

This is one of my favorite cobblestone streets. It is early in the morning in this photo and no one is at the little cafe yet. But it will be filled with people very soon. On this street are two lovely tea rooms as well as a journal store that I bought some fab paper in.

There are an untold number of apartment buildings in Paris, some in great need of repair, some very modern, some really old, and some that are gorgeous. This one above is in the gorgeous category. I imagine myself living in one of these apartments overlooking the park below.

While out walking one afternoon we turned a corner and saw this beautiful old church. This is L'eglise Saint Severin.

Just Beautiful!

All the churches have incredible stained glass windows as well as totally gorgeous paintings.

It was a really special treat to visit this one.

Here is a small flea market we came upon on another day. Here they had about 20 stalls of all kinds of things...old books, old tools, old and newer jewelry, hats, scarves, nick nacs......

Furniture, teapots, coins, luggage, textiles (I drooled over!)......

ooooh La La!

They also had many stalls of fruits and veggies as well as cheese, olives, breads and desserts.

One way to save money in Paris is to buy food at these markets and make your own breakfast and lunch. Then you can save your money for fantastic restaurants at night!

We often came upon unusual vehicles

I can not imagine FedEx using this one in Raleigh : )

And of course, I must leave you today with another peek through a bakery window.
*Sigh*

These photos only show a little of what you might see walking the streets of Paris. Such a delightful city! Thank you for coming by today and sharing in my memories.
Tonight I will pick the winner of my little bundle of French findings. I showed a sneak preview in last weeks French Friday post.

Tonight I will have a photo along with the winners name. You can still enter by leaving a comment today if you haven't already.

Next week I will tell you about another giveaway along with a post about one of Marie Antoinette's homes

Hugs to you all!
