Cliche is a French Word Too

Paris...a city for lovers...city of romance...yes, cliche as these phrases are, Paris is infused with romantic atmosphere.

The River Seine, the Tour Eiffel, the two islands where gargoyled Notre Dame towers soar, shining white Sacre Coeur up on the hill...this constellation of magnificent presences creates a magic and romantic ambience.

Mark and I crossed a Seine bridge today where on a previous trip we (during warmer temperatures) we had sat on a bench for a long time watching Paris. In the currently brisk weather we stopped for a photo by the many lovers' locks.

Later we strolled the Island of the City and shopped the market for gifts stopping by a Metro entrance as you see.
