    Pour moi cést les gens qui ons des tempéraments comme moi et qui sont passionées de different chauses. Et le nord de la France; petite villages, pas grandes villes.

Paris, here I come!

It was long overdue. Yes. 
Paris!!   My affair with France hasn't finished yet....it took quite some persuading and tears for me to 'convince' my partner we just have to go there!

So, we went and bought a guidebook today, booked the trip etc. etc - to say I am excited is an understatement!!

More updates to follow...

So Hollande is the new president..

I tuned into my local news channel the other night to hear of jubilant crowds in France cheering on Francois Hollande, the newly elected president of France.  To be honest I don't follow politics much but it moved me , so much so I wanted to be there!!    

Thinking back to my trips to France in the past, I remember the friendliness and hospitality of the people.
I remember their passion for food and art.   It's been a while.  I think a trip back to France is long overdue..my boyfriend would disagree.....but watch this space!

I had no other footwear other than sandals for the trip - due to previous trips to France - I predicted that the weather would be nice.

My visit was a really interesting one. I stayed in a hotel in the Old Town part of Rennes. a perfectly centrally located base for doing all my exploring....

I took many photos during my stay - here are some of them:
