Hi everyone, as promised I will show you where we visited last Thursday.
A sunny day was forecast so we decided to go to RHS Bridgewater again.
Not as colourful as when we went in Autumn but the blue sky made a perfect backdrop for the seed heads and grasses
Now....back to warmer days 
Yes, Paris again....our last full day there and we took long walk to visit Bercy.
First of all I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth of the Altered Book Lover for T Stands For Tuesday.
We went to Cafe de Pauline for a delicious Duck Parmentier(sorry, ate it all and forgot to take a photo) I have forgotten what hubby's dessert was - something chocolaty - but mine was a fruit salad. Water was on the table for the whole meal and we finished with coffee.
It is close to Bercy Village and although we had a walk there, we were disappointed to find that a lot of the shops we liked have been replaced by eateries (many of them fast food type)
Cafe de Pauline is at the back of the Main Street - when we arrived all of the outside tables were taken.
Backing on to the trees is Bercy Park.
Beautiful old house and tracks ....no explanation
Lots of steps
A Bug hotel
Lovely covered areas
Boxing and football
These two pics are of the view down the Seine
You might think that was enough for one day but we had a detour - I'll show you next week!
I am going for a well earned rest now, having walked 7.5 miles today(nearly 18,500 steps). Explanation and pics later this week!
Thanks for looking, Chris
Each season has its own beauty :) I love that merry-go-round! Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteHi Chris-I always enjoy the photos from your trips to Paris when I saw all those tall grasses-thinking paper making materials haha I have made paper in the past from dried grasses turns out pretty nice.
ReplyDeleteHappy T hugs Kathy
When I saw your link, I immediately started thinking PARIS! What lovely photos. Thanks.

Winter plants are interesting in their own way, and even though brown, they do make a nice view while walking. But I must admit it is quite a contrast to the warmer green of your Paris photos. They both look like wonderful days Chris. I hope you had a lovely T day, and thanks for sharing these photos. It is always a pleasure. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWOW! SO many beautiful views. I loved the covered walkways and houses in Paris. I am off to have a look at the Cafe's that you mentioned. The pictures from RHS Bridgewater are beautiful even in the midst of winter. I bet it is even more stunning when everything is in bloom.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
It is all so lovely Chris!! The café sounds wonderful! A shame places are changing to fast food eateries:(. My favorite photos today though are of the views along the Seine. I remember many walks along it so well. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrasting post, Chris. From the stark beauty of the winter grasses to the lush views of the Parisian village, this post oozes with beauty. I was impressed by all the columns in Paris and all those stairs. Many, many, many stairs.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it was also good to see you and T enjoying yourselves in a cafe in Paris with your desserts and water. Thanks for sharing these two beautiful parks and your drinks with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.
Chris, thank you for sharing all these gorgeous photos! I thoroughly enjoyed your post. Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteWhilst it is nice to see Paris in the sunshine, i also love the icy pics from RHS Bridgewater too - it looks beautiful, even in winter. and I am glad I didn't have to climb all those steps in Paris! Helen xx
ReplyDeleteAll lovely photos. Have a nice day.
