L'aube de la nouvelle année


I have been touched this year by the friends I have met
both virtually and face-to-face from around the world through blogs. 
Through my Paris experiences and photos
I have learned many secrets and stories of the city I love so. 
The Paris Friends I have met in the markets, the patisseries, the bistrots, and galleries have enriched my visits. 

Je vous souhaite une merveilleuse année 2012!

    Genie, I wish you a marvellous 2012, too. I wish you health. I wish you happiness. I wish you contentment. And I wish you laughter. But mostly I wish that some of these things overlap for you.

    Oh my, what an awesome blog. Your photos are beautiful. I am planning a trip to Caen in 2014 for the World Equestrian Games, and I am brushing up on my French. Finding your blog that celebrates the beauty of the language and place is serendipitous on New Years Day. Best wishes to you for 2012.

    A stunning image. I am a tad envious of your language skills - they certainly add an extra dimension to your experiences in Paris.
    Que cette année vous apporte, à vous et à votre famille, bonheur et prospérité.
    Warm regards.
