A view through the trees towards the palace chapel. Last Sunday, there were still some leaves on some trees. Incredible what a couple of stormy days can do...
An angel above a tomb at Gonards cemetary.
There are many blue doorways in Versailles... Yet only few of them have a blue Mini parked right opposite!
Poinsettias are waiting for you at the flower market, 8 € a large pot... They aren't my favourite flowers, yet I always like to see them at the market or in florists windows because they mean December is on its way... December, Advent and Christmas.
Busy rue de la Paroisse on an early Saturday evening in November...
Window shopping for James' Weekend Reflections.
I took you to Gonards cemetary recently and said that I would have to go back because I hadn't found the celebrities tombs. That was a bit of a lie, because I had actually found one: Louis Blériot, the pioneer aviator who completed the first cross Channel flight in 1909.
Il y a quelques temps, je vous racontais ma promenade au cimetière des Gonards. Je disais n'y avoir pas trouvé les célébrités, ce qui était un peu un mensonge, puisque j'y ai trouvé au moins la tombe de Louis Blériot, premier homme à traverser la Manche en 1909 à bord d'un avion.
There aren't many Citroën 2CV ("two steam horses") around anymore, though there seems to be one in Eagan, Minnesota! There's the new Mini, the new Beetle, the gorgeous new Fiat 500, we guys are wondering why Citroën hasn't yet followed with the new Deux Chevaux...
