It was an extremely romantic destination, as Eric and I traveled 3 hours into France to celebrate the ringing in of 2010, destined to be a fabulous year!!!
It was beautifully gray, with clouds of white and buildings of faint camel color lining the streets of the city of lights. With its Les Champs Elysee, Moulin Rouge, Eiffel Tower, and Louve, it was an amazingly beautiful site. Despite the frigid weather, we managed to stroll the streets until our feet could take no more and the warmth of a cafe' called our names. Escargot, creme brulee', lamb filets, and more and more creme brulee'... that was my diet for 3 delicious days and nights. It was not un-usual for us to take an evening trek to the corner market to find ourselves overwhelmed with wine and cheese choices that would make anyone cry with delight.
Our hotel room, though slightly cramped, was worth the find as we found ourselves within a short walking distance to the Eiffel Tower where we did spend the eve of the New Year amongst hundreds of others crazy, cold people. Unfortunately, we never did check the reports, assuming that this year it would be one of magnificent fire works... only to see a small light show as those fire works were down on the Elysee. So sad indeed!
So, here are just a few images of the markets in front of our hotel and the beautiful Eiffel Tower... all in rose black and white. My personal favorite style...
