Village Saint Paul - le Marais



2013 Nov22 Paris _20131122 132 DSC_2806


Quiet courtyard


The last golden leaves of autumn cling tenuously to the branch 
and they echo my feelings of departing Paris.  


I know when it is time to leave for home, 
clinging to the memories, 
and knowing that there will be another autumn in Paris, 
just as there will be another winter and spring and summer.


The photos are a daily reminder...
le sigh


bon weekend



Village Saint Paul

  3. Beautiful, like a quiet meditation on autumn, on its way out of town.

  4. «Louis» lived on rue Saint-Antoine, just around the corner from Village Saint-Paul...this makes him wistful for Paris!

  8. All of the others have said so perfectly what I feel for you, Genie! A beautiful capture and I do know SO well how you feel!! Make the most of each day -- wherever that day finds you.

  9. Joe, if you had seen all of the really poor photos I have deleted you would change your mind. Merci beaucoup...

    Starman, you have a point... one that makes me smile.

    Marie, the chairs are in a small courtyard just across from Cru. Comme à la Maison is still in business.

    Louis, you would be a great guide in this area and we could probably even share a few newer places with you.

    Bises,
    Genie
