I snapped this lucky shot in April in Paris with les Invalides in the background. A wonderful day!

This little window in St Malo was so intriguing. What lay behind?

J’adore the door! The asymmetry and colour of the doors and shutters was charming I thought.

The tiny Square Rapp is an Art Noveau gem and with a view like this when you step out the door each morning life must be good for the luck few living there.

My Heart belongs to Paris and Sacré Cœur was at its finest on this lovely day in Autumn when I snapped this picture.

This is the wonderful view greeting the traveller after leaving the tunnel at the start of the Canal Saint Martin. I snapped this in spring the first time I experienced this delightful and surprising glimpse of lesser known aspect of Paris.

I love these awning along the side of the Musee D’Orsay. A magic spring morning and a perfect say for photos!

I saw and photographed these lovely flowers in the Place Monge markets one April in Paris.

My wonderful friend led me up this little known way to Montmartre where I took this shot. With its reputation of art and Bohemianism, Montmartre remains a wonderful place to visit, especially in the springtime.

Such a charming conception to use these arches as supports. I snapped this on a perfectly clear spring day in Paris

At the back of the Grand Trianon we stumbled upon this charming garden in April and took quantities of snaps in the sunlight.

Early morning at Abbesses, we chose not to climb the stairs up.

Sacré-Cœur in the distance on a lovely spring day.

This little understated snuff box crafted for Frederick the Great caught my eye in the V&A. It made my tupperware lunch box look a little tawdry but I snapped it anyway.

The beautiful dome of Les Invalides. It is forbidden to bring stinky cheese into this place of great sanctity.

Cascading blossom reveal a glimpse of the cathedral on a cloudy day in spring.

It pays to get to Versailles early! A snap I took all alone in the morning.
