Where to start? The beautiful, never-ending Luxembourg Gardens. It’s a couple blocks from our Hôtel Des Mines in the 5th arrondissement. Statues of French queens, a large man-made pond with small sailboats, so many light-green metal chairs, and even more people. Sitting, sunning, walking, running, chatting, reading, napping, or picnicking, they all seemed to be enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. Just like me. I’ll explain more about this trip in my next post, but I wanted to share just a few more photos from day one in Paris.

Recently retired from an Iowa high school, I was a French & English teacher, now seeking adventure and meaning through walking, learning, listening, and being thankful for the joy that is life. I love faith that leads to greater understanding, love and service, friends that encourage, and family. I hope my blog will inspire, inform, and delight my readers. Beauty is all around us, if we take the time to notice it. I know I don’t have to be in France to blog; it’s just that France has stolen my heart.

Exactly. Thought of Grace and our friends in Christ yesterday while worshipping and touring the beautiful Notre Dame de Paris!
