See. Paris never changes. It’s just the way you look at it.

Wow, your post reminded me of the last time I was in Paris. My marriage was essentially over, yet Paris worked such a charm on us both that we had a GREAT week together–we suspended the divorce talks and enjoyed the romance of your beautiful city. It allowed us to have one great last fling (which was all the marriage had going for it anyway) to put in the memory books!

OK, OK, OK, I wasn’t in Paris last weekend, I cannot certify that the weather was good, that there was something in the air. I am one of those who choose not to be in France for as many weekends as possible and last weekend was one of those happy moments.

But Petite, don’t take it personal, sorry I just read your postings quickly and made some wrong conclusion. I am happy that you, who stayed in Paris, had a good weekend too.

(P.S. Herein, the fundamental difference between a French and a non French, I wrote to apologise!)

Amen, Petite. It is all those things that draw me to Paris. It was my home for a few years, and now it’s my home away from home. Thank you for a beautiful post.

Beautiful entry. :) Although I’ve never been to Paris, I have that wonderful “oooh, it’s spring!” feeling that sounds so similar to your entry one weekend every year, and reminds me why I love living where I do!

It’s so funny, because I had the exact same feeling last weekend! Living in Paris as well since about 6 month. I have always loved the city but last weekend there was definately something special in the air..

What a lovely post Petite!

I spent 5 great days in Paris in September (I was there for a wedding). The highlight was a hot sunny day wandering round with my mother as she showed me all her old haunts – she lived in Paris for a few years in the late fifties. We even went back to where she used to work. Truly magical. I was recently uploading some of the photos from that day to Flickr and it all came back me.

I definitely left a bit of my heart in Paris.

Hello from Toronto! I’m just getting a chance to comment on your lovely post. There’s nothing like Paris to make you feel alive and appreciate life’s infinite possibilities. Congratulations for emerging from what must have been a dismal period. My husband and I are just rebounding from a BIG career disappointment for him, and we’ve just booked Paris, just because it makes us happy to be alive there. It’s our therapy.
Here’s to hope and new beginnings!

*sigh* visited london with hubbie this weekend…now that’s a city! I’d never really visited it before; totally wowed by Southwark. We spent the weekend comparing it to Paris and Paris came a definite second…mind you, we’ve never really visited Paris yet, even though hubs is French. Hmmm, maybe we need another lovey-dovey weekend away without the kids?….? And then…next stop, New York (well, can’t hurt to daydream, right?)
Good to hear you cheerful Petite ;)
