THE ART OF PARIS-A VISUAL FEAST, PART ONE

Ernest Hemingway said that "Paris Is a Moveable Feast" It is is also a "Visual Feast"! Lucky me, I just returned from such a "FEAST" & I am going to share some with you! Hans, my Husband & I try to go to Paris every year and we have done so since 1990.  (I left in 1988 after having been fortunate enough to have lived in this beautiful place for two years)! If you do a search for Paris on this Blog. you will see some of my previous posts.
I hope that you enjoy the past photos & the ones on this post that express the love I have for the "City of Light"! All Photographs are by me unless titled by 
Hans Butikofer
I would appreciate any comments that you'd like to leave.
Warm Wishes,
 Rivian
