There is something about Paris.
It happens to me every time,doesn’t matter what season it is. I leave Charles De Gaulle airport and head up the highway which is a fairly normal experience and I think..maybe it is not going to happen this time? I get a little anxious like I am seeing my true love after weeks apart. Then we take an exit off the highway and head into Paris and my heart soars.
The old buildings, the cobble stone streets, the french people, the crazy driving just everything seems Perfect to me. This is why I went to Paris for five months and why I will always want to go back and live there.
To me, it is your ideal city. You can walk everywhere and yet there is no need to walk far as everything is at your doorstep. The markets, the butchers all display their food with pride. The Parisians can be a little rude at times but I even enjoy this. Words will never express my deep feelings for this city so I will let some of my photos show you what I love about Paris.

I’ve never been and your photos want me to just go, absolutely beautiful. I love the family on bikes! Perfection.
Kylie, I hope you do go. You are so close. The photographs are evocative aren’t they. More to come.
There is definitely something about Paris! I haven’t been there for many years, and I don’t imagine I will be able to get there for quite some time yet, but sometimes i just have to look at photos of the city, or watch movies set there, just in order to feed my soul!
Marg, your soul is about to get fat. Jacqui’s feast continues through February. I think many of us feel as you do.
I love your point of view with the photos! I plan to highlight my trip to Paris on my site as well, gorgeous city – nice that you were able to live there. They didn’t appreciate me walking barefoot in the city of fashion but that didn’t bother me either..
