Get to France

As you might already guess from the title, we made a little trip to France! First we spent two nights in Paris (no, NOT one night in Paris, what a pitty!)

by the banks of the Seine at night:

Notre Dame:

Birds are evil:

already preparing for retirement:

funny person watching the traffic in Montmatre. i couldn't actually find out what he was doing exactly - besides reading the newspaper... if you have a hint for me, tell me ;)


the interior of our hotel in Montmatre, next to Moulin Rouge. it looked a bit like a maison de plaisir and our tiny room had a huge mirror right next to the bed... *ggg*

one of the mills in Montmatre:

Montmatre:

an ad in a metro station for some coffee. it was so funny that i had to buy it. guess what, it works - at least, i do NOT look like that guy after drinking it, hehe!

the Eiffel tower and me (in memoriam of my bonnet, which i lost in Rennes...)

have a break, have a biiig break... after all we're here for holidays and not for fun:


the cathedral of Saint Malo, Brittany!

a breizh arrangement ;)

the port of Saint Malo:

the quai at low tide:

due to the warm weather we even fancied taking a bath at the outdoor swimming pool:


view from the castle to Saint Malo intra muros:

taking a rest in the sun (listening to breizh music):

there's three french words, i will remember for all my life: "La mer mont!"

...this means "the sea is rising!" if you ever happen to hear this, get yourself immediately to the main land, or you will become very wet or even drown...

me in the morning (very tired) at high tide:


the medieval city of Rennes:

the cathedral of Rennes:
the clouds over Paris in the evening:

bye-bye and au-revoir France!

Hey there!

I loooove holidays! Above all the best thing about travelling is that one comes back relaxed and with a pleased smile and sometimes one is even a bit glad to be back "home" ;-)
Well, concerning that our trip was definitely too short, anyway.... I WANT TO GET BACK!! though I acknoweledge that I will never be good at French (and they don´t help you much either, eh?)

Bye, bye France!

Heippa!

there is only one believable explanation for the behaviour of the chair-guy: he must be an (european) ethnologist!

It wouldn't have been an annoyance if you would have mentioned your absolute "besuchenswert" earlier... ;-)

"besuchenswert", worth visiting is of course your WEBLOG- as well as Paris
