Bonjour Paris! Où est le Lyon?

Cara's B-day was coming and we were both excited to be on the move! It was my first time in Vienna, just in time for some postcard Christmas sights. This Christmas market is open every year so it must be a dull thing for Vienneres but for me the Glühwein and the lights were absolutely charming.





After a enjoyable dinner at our CouchSurfing friends Moritz & Angela (lovely apartment) and getting no sleep before caching a 6am flight we arrived at Paris early in the morning and spend an exhausting day trying to see as much as possible, sleeping at the 5th floor of D'Orsay Muse, and than sleeping some more on the 4th floor. To much Art Nouveau just gets the best of you.......


It's the real thing!


Notre Dame just next to Seine.


Paris to the left, and to the right....
as far as the eye can see......................


Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!


Yeees! It is a very fine work of art in deed! Isn't it....




In the background you can see the renowned
sign of Paris Metro designed in Art Nouveau style
by a famous french artist Hector Guimard.

I remember an entrance ticket for Moulin Rouge that my father had brought from one of his business trips! I remember imagining in my puberty years how exciting it would be to see the show.....


So some years later I'm here in person, but all
I had time for was to take quick photo in the
freezing rain! Next time........

There is a tiny place on the southern hemisphere called Reunion.
No body could actually tell me why is it called that way, except that it might come from the fact that in this tiny place many cultures meet and unite. From this exotic mixture arose a notorious kind of rum, illegal in some countries.


And this this is Richard who we stayed with in Paris , and who recently
visited Reunion (hence the Rum),
just 2min form Notre Dame!!! Thank you Richard!!!

Just one more thing. Flats in Paris have shrunken over the course of years. Or mybe that actually pertains only to the hallways...... Never the less I found it interesting enough to document this rather strange way of moving mode in Paris. Here they do it trough their windows.


Movers on the move!
