It was a a week of walking, cycling, window shopping, solving some problems, meeting new people,
exploring iconic sights, wine shopping, eating, French lessons, more walking and sore feet. In other words it was a fabulous week. Below is a smattering of photos on a very wide range of subjets. Whatever caught my eye. There was so much more, but one simply must narrow it down. There is no order or system to these. Just Paris.
