Loved the nostalgic photos and a different view of the river bank compared to artists and food stalls (which are also enjoyable).

I appreciate the photos you choose. While I wish I had more time for reading, I do find enjoyment in the ones I manage to delve into.

I keep my posts pretty short these days for that very reason - everyone's so busy! And because it seems there's so much content to read in the world, and I'm mostly a visual storyteller. :)

Brilliant post. I loved those kiosks when I was in Paris. So many hidden treasures to be discovered.

Thanks for the memories Victoria.

Love, love, love it! I want to book a flight right now. I have most of the things in my wardrobe so what could hinder me?

Pont Marie...I cross here every day to go to work :)

My friend Antoine Paris has a stand just behind the bus stop at Samaritaine if you are interested in buying a piece of art from some amazing up and comers in the parisian art world 👌🏻

How wonderful! I lived in Paris for 7 months when I was going to cooking school in the 1980s. I love and miss your City of Light.

Ahhh oui ! You should come back for a visit.. It has changed so much. I bet you are an amazing cook !

I’m sure Paris has changed quite a bit. I was back about 12 years ago. The changes must be dramatic. So loved the experiences that I had in your beautiful city.

I’m a pretty good cook!! And still love to experiment.

Be well. Send a kiss to Paris for me.

It was amazing Victoria. At a young age I was influenced by Audrey Hepburn in the movie Sabrina. After that my dream was to go to cooking school in Paris. I finally made it in 1984.

This post was a delight to read, thank you!

I moved to France almost a year ago and live in the South. I absolutely love it down here, but I also try to sneak up to Paris as often as possible. In my eyes, Paris is THE center of the world!! Too much magic at every turn.

Thanks so much, Kelsey! I dream of moving to France and one of the best things about living in Europe is that you can get anywhere so easily by train! I'm envious!!
