La Seine - un aire de pique-nique



La Seine
un aire de pique-nique


Having a picnic with friends along the Seine...
what could be any better?


I am honored to be invited to join the City Daily Photo Blogs, and with my acceptance, to participate in the first day of each month with "theme day."  November's theme is "The Water's Edge" and here is the link to visit other cities around the world.

    Je découvre votre blog grâce à votre commentaire sur le mien (Laërte, le père d'Ulysse).
    Vos photos sont magnifiques et je vois que vous partagez avec moi la même passion pour la vue du Pont-Neuf depuis le Pont des Arts.
    A bientôt.
    Congratulations!

    Hello Genie:
    This of course appeals to us hugely - a picnic out of season. Very recently we suggested to some friends taking a picnic to the City Park and reading poetry aloud to each other. In the event it rained, and the pages would have been soaked!!

    Congratulations on joining the Daily Photo Community. I don't know that there is much better than a pic nic by the Seine. Always a Paris highlight.

    I can't count the amount of bread, cheese, and wine I've consumed "au bord de la Seine" over the years. Thanks for bringing back some great memories, Genie!

    What a lovely image! Everyone looks so happy and seem to be enjoying the day. From the looks on the young man looking up it would appear that he noticed you taking this photo. :) Or not?

    What an awesome Blog! I've added myself as your newest follower. I traveled to France (Aix and Paris) last fall and fell in love with all things French. I can believe it took me this long to get there. Hoping to go back soon, but in the meantime, I'll get my Paris fix through your wonderful blog! Happy Fall Ya'll from Houston, TX.

    One day I'll actually walk down there and join those Parisians. It's a great photo op but I think it's an even better Paris experience.
