Vive les vacances!

Coucou mes copines!
I'm back again! We were in Paris and had a good time.



Which macaron shall I taste?



I cannot recommend any of these macarons because the ones I have tasted were all delicious. I took some boxes back home and send them to some special people and I can tell you that they still taste great after about a week. We couldn't save them longer as they simply are too good!



Of course we did a lot of the touristic highlights, but we what we like most is just to wander around.
In Paris there are a lot of lovely parcs and green places, like the Place des Vosges here. Btw Dees of Vosgesparis is doing a lot better, so I want to thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Just wandering around, looking up


and up again


Or looking down (this is the court-yard of our hotel at the Place the la République which I can recommend to everybody):




I always love the details...
on the outside and

the inside..
August is the month that the Parisiens themselves take a holiday, so places that need no introduction and where the objects are just talking for themselves are silent now...

Of course there is always some brocante to see at the Porte de Clignancourt or the Porte the Vanves, but I think Parisian brocante is expensive.

Some things never change; these beautiful art nouveau little fountains are still here!

And what never changes too: Me being at a store that I really really like to visit at...no prices are giving guessing at which date...!!

And of course Paris is the city of fashion. I wanted to talk my husband into this coiffure, but he didn't want to

So he and my youngest decided that it was time to move outside the fashion capital of the world and into this lovely hotel, which is in

Disneyland Paris

My daughter who is not named by coincidence after one of the worlds' famous photographers has specialized in taking photo's of herself and of our family including herself. We had so much fun!

Paris by night. While France is chairman of the European Union, the Eiffeltower is lit like our European flag, blue with 12 yellow stars.

We still have a couple of days off before school starts. I hope you are all doing well and I'll try to visit everybody soon, have a nice day!

Coucou mes copines!
Yep weer terug uit Parijs, ach de foto's spreken voor zich dacht ik. De Eiffeltoren, de Place de Vosges, Ladurée waar je de lekkerste amandelkoekjes kunt kopen in geweldige verpakkingen en natuurlijk wat te dure brocante gezien, alsmede ergens voor de gesloten deur gestaan, what's new? Dit reisje was mijn verjaardagscadeau en het feestcomité vond een reisje naar Parijs toch echt niet compleet zonder een bezoek aan Disneyland. Ach een gegeven paard mag je niet in de bek kijken! Prima naar ons zin gehad en nu hebben we nog een paar dagen voordat volgende week de school weer begint.

Chat soon, LiLi M.
