Paris

Hello blog-world friends. I’m back from my two-week trip to Europe. What a wonderful vacation it was!

For the next few weeks Olga’s Home and Garden Blog will become Olga’s Travel Blog!

I’ll start with Paris. My husband and I only spent a couple of days there, so it was not possible to see all its beauty. Nevertheless we managed to visit several of the main attractions such as the Louvre, the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and Sacre Coeur Basilica.

Below I include some pictures from all of these places except the last one. We visited it late at night and I didn’t bother to take many pictures. Taking pictures inside was prohibited anyway. So I tried to enjoy that majestic place as a Christian (though I’m not Catholic) rather than as a tourist.

Welcome back! The buildings are so majestic and lovely. I'm sure it was an amazing trip. You look very happy standing on the bridge with the Eiffel Tower in the background. :-)

Dearest Olga,

So glad you got to visit this city of Light! I've been there a couple of times but it never is sufficient!
Hugs to you,
Mariette
