Arc de Triomphe

Arc de Triomphe

Recognizing all who fought for France during World War I,

this darkened room on the top level of the arch is a quiet,

reverent place.

My grandfather (World War I) and my father 

(World War II) both fought on French soil and survived

to share their stories.

I am remembering them 

on our US Memorial Day.

Beautifully restored, it is a visual treat
to turn a corner and see this magnificent church

Aux Couleurs Modernes - quincaillerie à Paris

Aux Couleurs Modernes

This hardware store was established in 1876

and I can assure you that although this is a smaller 

store than I have in my neighborhood,

you can find most anything you need here.

Having always called a store of this type

un magasin de bricolage, I do love the French 

noun une quincaillerie.

The lavender petals of spring blooms

line the cemetery paths - 

A bit of cheer in the midst of death.
