Last night French Girl and I went out to shoot the windows/les vitrines... 
Au Printemps department store was celebrating La Fete du Printemps... 
With giant floral bunnies... 
Floral swans... 
In lavender no less... 
And flower-headed Rockette Chorus girls... 
Lined up... 
In sumptuous rows... 
A flower power couple even... 
This flower girl succumbed to Spring Fever and fainted... 
In a swoon from rose perfumes... 
Hidden in ribboned boxes... 
Suddenly behind us on boulevard Haussmann we heard a great WOOSH! 
Hundreds upon hundreds of Parisien skaters took over the street in a woosh of Spring Fever! 
One was decked out in blue lights!!Then they were gone...
Ah, the ever present French escargot in luscious pink roses...
Don't forget Paris is laid out like a snail with the 20 arrondissements curling around on themselves and #1 at the center...

Et voila!
BONJOUR AU PRINTEMPS!

Have you been to the Statue of Liberty yet?
I went for the first time ever on Saturday...'Attraversiamo',
as Liz says in EAT PRAY LOVE (EPL) meaning
'Let's cross over'
I'm always bla-bla-blaing about the Eiffel Tower so I thought it was time...
Get ready to land PBers!
Thar she is! YAHOO
Naturallement we check the map before taking a step further...
Ah the view...regarde!
trop Magnifique!
The everpresent gulls...
Await a few crumbs from my sandwich.You'll take your own lunch PBers if yr smart.
Every language under the sun is heard...
Every language under the sun is heard...Wunderbar!
I brought along my paintbox bien sur for a few quickie thumbnails...
Take my picture svp
Waiting and working - Lady Liberty gets no holidays...

Paris window chaise,watercolor, 5.5" x 7.5"Another Paris night walk since you enjoyed yesterdays post so much adn I am still busy now with the Jack Russells...
There's nothing like strolling around Paris at night...
You have all the windows to yourself...
And you can redecorate entirely to your heart's content - like this inviting chair in a rare bookshop window..
Oh those trecherous, unending circular staircases in Paris! I'll take a mini model instead S.V.P.
Bouquets of everlasting coral - perfection!
Parisien children's shops at night are full of stories - a sad child neglected by teddy parents...dommage
A little snack for your night time journey..? A few cerises peut-etre? Crunch...crunch
At last! Bisquits...quelle dommage - made of porcelaine=no calories!
My walk from the Right bank over to the Left bank. Que Voltaire is particularly good for enticing antique boutiques for the vicarious shopper.
BONJOUR PARIS NIGHT WALKS!

I ask you! Is there anything more fun, more enticing, more seductive than pouring over the map of your destination while sitting in your comfy armchair at home? Here is my favorite and much repaired old Paris Metro map - I keep adding scotch tape over the tears and wounds. We're attached at the hip. That's just the way it is. I will NOT leave home without this dear friend of a map. Ooops must at this essential Paris bus map!
I'm exceedingly fond of Paris plan par arrondissements. I love the spiral binding and I can actually SEE the streets without a microscope...
Chuck told me to buy these City Walks:Paris flash cards and I promise to take a few with me this trip.
I do love the EyeWitness Paris books. I just wish they were lighter weight. I especially love their floor plans and overhead views of museums - most helpful.
I wish more Paris shops put maps on their business cards don't you?BIG MERCI Comptoire de Famille!
Here's another cutie, Il Etait une Fois, and I'm posting it here as a reminder not to miss this darling toy shop this trip...
Do you ever get desperate for a computer? Cyber Cube is conveniently spread around Paris just in case...
Cher patisseries de Paris! S.V.P. put maps on your biz cards like Sadaharuaoki!
And cafe Le Select! You are soooo smart to help us find you.
Here's a dreamy map, if not very attractive...the SNCF train map of France - YUM! 
The birds are intently dreaming about this croissant in the 6th arrondissement...This is Cavallini's wonderful Paris wrapping paper in delicious pastel colors - I framed one and would love a shower curtain of the same. I hope you're listening Cavallini? Do you have a favorite map? Tell me about it S.V.P.
BON CARTES!
