This is a wonderful round-up of your trip. I have never been to France (and doubt that I will ever get there) so it was extra nice to hear about your travels. The photos do make me a bit hungry though :)
Brilliant post Ruth, I absolutely loved seeing France through your eyes (can't lie, I'd been waiting for this since you announced that you were going to Paris!) ❤️
Wishing you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving 🙏
Ruth, beautiful piece to read and look at! Miss you - à bientôt (j'espère!) Carl and family are returning to Riverside for winter/spring, so visits to So. Cal are expected.
Divine, Ruth! I feel like I’ve been on vacation reading this and seeing these glorious photos. So true what you said - when you’re on vacation it feels like it will never end. Looking forward to Jeff’s photo walk and your piece on Avignon. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁
It sounds grand Ruth! I happen to like fruitcake and I also have been a bit baffled about the fuss over the Mona Lisa. I will check out the article you linked to. Thanks. I've never seen the Money with the turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thrilled to see that French food culture hasn't vanished! When I first visited Paris on a school trip in the 70s, it was a revelation. But I had a very brief and disappointing visit about fifteen years ago. Like you, I was both relieved and disappointed to find most Parisians speaking English in response to my stumbling French. We found decent food, but not before experiencing (quel horreur!)a bad bakery. You have inspired me to have another go!i

Ruth thank you for sharing your vacation experience, it’s just wonderful getting a glimpse of beautiful Paris and especially seeing people traveling.

Would you share the name of your hotel?

So wondeful!
Oh, my mouth is watering...for the food and the sights. What a great post.

Making me hungry…..and I just had breakfast. Glad you had such a great trip. Looking forward to seeing more photos
