I loved walking on the cobbled stones, holding hands in the various parks, stopping for a glass of Chablis and a plate of oysters, watching the sun set across the gorgeous architectural skyline... perhaps it was because your trip was so rushed?<br /><br />xokKarenhttp://www.littlebittygirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10871380.post-58666528078254288052009-09-13T19:09:19.688+08:002009-09-13T19:09:19.688+08:00So Paris has not changed all that much then.
