This photo was taken in late January while my brother David and sister-in-law, Jaye, took a quick hop to Paris from Norway. They didn't find Paris was much warmer than Oslo, though.

And now, we go over the Seine toward Notre Dame:

And now an  inside shot of some stained glass:

And an even MORE impressive stained glass shot of Sainte Chapelle:

If you're tired of stained glass, let's go for a walk in the Bois de Boulogne:

 Then a stroll through Paris, itself:

After all this walking, what say we stop to rest our feet and pick out a gateau at a nice patisserie? Or perhaps you'd prefer some Normandy Apple tart, instead?

Et un Cafe au Lait, aussi, naturellement.

Oh...  you'd prefer some wine, you say?  

Hey, it's Paris, we can do wine!   

Perhaps   you'd like to see more of France than only Paris. How about a look at Mont St. Michel?

Mont St. Michel Normandy Coast

Or maybe you'd like to see some High Gothic splendor looking at the cathedral in Rouen. A REALLY good place to avoid, if you're Joan of Arc, though.

Cathedral, Rouen

But we mustn't neglect the South of France, or the chance to  take a look at some Roman antiquities such as

 The Pont du Gard

How about an appertif  in a beachside cafe along the Cote d'Azur in Nice?

But we must make sure to be back in Paris by evening...

For an intimate supper at the famous old Restaurant LaPerouse...

Or we'll miss the Bastille Day Fireworks!

And now for some rosy night life with Edith Piaf:
