so cold in Paris













I was up in Paris today for meetings and  taking pictures of a 'stylish girlfriend' that I'll be introducing you to next week.  On my way to meet her, I had intended taking zillions of pictures of Paris but Oh My Goodness was it cold!  So all my good photographic intentions were forgotten as I hunted around desperately for a hot chocolate to warm me in between appointments!


























So here are a few of a moment in my day, Place des Vosges in the Marais, and also of my favourite umbrella and glove shop in the world, on boulevard st germain.!






Thank you for reading me!

  2. I feel your pain Sharon! It's the equivalent of -21 degrees Celsius here in Ontario and has been for the past week or so. At least the sun is out! Hard to believe that just a few months ago it was so hot and humid....I don't think that I will thaw out until July :)

  4. I like that umbrella and glove display, and stay warm friend. My hubby and I spent a Christmas in Paris years ago so enjoy seeing your photos here.

  5. Place des Vosges is one of my favorites in all of Paris, and I love the shops in that area so much. Now, St.Germain is in a whole different league isn't it? Did you know my son attended college at Parsons in Paris for 3 years? Now, please tell me how to get Coty's clickable icon on my sidebar, somehow I can't get it to work and I really want to do this for her. Big props to you for including her, Sharon...makes me love you more :)'s

  7. Ahhh, it looks refreshing from my viewpoint. Buenos Aires is having a very hot summer. I could do with a little snow :)
    I have so many happy memories of the Place des Vosges !

  10. Beautiful pictures ! Yes, winter is not my favorite season, maybe that is why I live in Florida, but I think winter is charming....from the window of a very warm room :o)
    Sending lots of warm thoughts....

  14. I can get warm real quickly in your umbrella and glove shop in Paris. Love the pair of tan/orange color gloves and umbrella. Living in ski country, snow is a great commodity but after the freezing rain we had this morning, sand and sea will be a welcome change.

  20. Lovely photographs Sharon, and they brought back very happy memories of this last summer when my husband and I celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary is Paris. Place des Vosges in the Marais is one of my favourite parts of Paris, and we had a very spoiling short stay in the beautiful Hotel Pavillon de la Reign. I too found and took photographs of the stunning umbrella and glove shop in Boulevarde St. Germain........which I agree, has to be the most beautiful in the world. Thank you for bringing back lovely memories of a romantic and special visit to Paris.
