Hi everyone, I had intended to just carry on with my French adventures but last week we went across the Pennines to Harlow Carr gardens and thought you might like to see the beautiful colours there first. There are some already on my previous post.
We had a short walk before going for lunch...and joined this queue...
Of course I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth at The Altered Book Lover for T stands For Tuesday.
As you can see our water came in a lovely glass with ice.
I will return to Harlow Carr next Tuesday to show you our afternoon walk.
Now for....Paris..
We intended avoiding public transport as much as we could during our stay so on our first day we walked to our favourite restaurant - Les Patios.
We reached Rue Mouffetard famous for its food shops and eateries
On past the back of the Pantheon
We sat facing the Sorbonne in Place de Sorbonne in shady spot under the trees. No photos of the food but we both had salads and then coffee and a shared dessert.
However, after we had been and picked up our bargains we decided to go to Luxembourg Park and take a picnic.
We explored the area around on our way there.
We sat and watched the tennis courts while we ate our picnic.
Parisians really know how to use their parks - this is a covered area for board games
Thanks for looking, Chris

Beautiful post Chris, I enjoyed everything-hugs Happy T wishes
What an exciting post Chris. I loved the gardens adorned in their fall colors, and Paris looks wonderful too. Thanks for sharing these for T. It's always fun to have a from a couch adventure. Have a great middle of your week! And hope it was a wonderful T day. Hugs-Erika
The reds in the garden are really stunning. I like the way the sun is shining through the water and glass and making a rainbow on the table. This is as close to Paris as I will ever get so I enjoyed strolling through the city. Happy T Day
From beginning to end I have enjoyed it all! The first gardens really show the vibrant colors of autumn, and I loved your tour of some fave Paris spots. An impromptu picnic at Luxembourg- how delightful!! I noticed that wherever you were there were few people- unlike the crowded streets and cafes I was used to seeing some years ago. Of course, during this time it does make one feel much more comfortable n'est-ce pas? Happy T day!
Your Paris is wonderful. I love walking through the streets and seeing the little things, not just the great and famous things. You seem to have the same view.

I absolutely adore your photos from both adventures. I always love to see Paris, but the reds and yellows at Harlow Carr Gardens were stunning,. Looks like some of the colors have definitely changed there.
Of course, I can never get enough of Paris and those sculptures are incredible.
I enjoyed sharing your lunch, too, dear. It is beautiful and now I am quite hungry. T's meal looks fabulous. I always seem to prefer what he eats, but don't tell him or he'll get a big head (grin). Thanks for sharing both places and your water and meals with us for T this week. Sorry I'm late visiting.
Great photos Chris!
