Belated Christmas greetings from Paris

Thank you to friends and family who have contacted us to wish us a merry Christmas. I have been very slack about updating my blog and also not individually responding to emails. I do apologise. Your kind thoughts and best wishes are nevertheless greatly appreciated.

Here are some miscellaneous photos of some of the wonderful times from Paris over the Christmas period.

Christmas Trees are everywhere. These are near Saint Sulpice, Saint Germain des Prés.

Somedays the weather is perfect, and everyone is out to enjoy it. 

Family time. 

Maybe not Christmassy, but at 110 metres tall, La Grande Arche is striking architecture at La Défense

Love looking in the windows at the fresh goods on offer.

The department stores have amazing window displays many of which are animated and are created by well-known designers. My photos just do not do justice to them.

 

Champs-Elysées and its markets and illuminations
