Wee Birdy

That I got married there!
Um, ok, it was “Paris” at Epcot, but, whatever…

Multicoloured macaroons!

I love the park on the tip of one of the islands and Sentou, which is a neat little shop in Le Marais.

All the beautiful, chic outfits… I people watch obsessively when I’m there. x

Cafe Buci and croissants.

The amazing light… it has the power to make you feel beautiful and ultra-glamourous just walking down beside the Seine!

My favorite thing about Paris is the Rue Mouffetard, the most beautiful and romantic street. It is filled with little boutique shops, parlours that sculpt your ice cream into flowers and where on a Sunday mornings old Parisian couples dance on the street to men playing on accordions……..

Picasso’s house is pretty amazing

My favourite thing about Paris (though I went there a while ago) was the Picasso Museum.

I love digging in antique shops and flea markets but I haven’t been for a shocking 11 years

That the arc de triomphe really does exceeds expectations.

Ah, you’re killing me here…all these cool shops you know from my old ‘hood. WHY did I not know about this stuff when I live there, howl.
Paris – how topical, just back a few hours ago from a 48 hour visit!
My favourite thing is the attitude. I don’t think that needs any explanation…that Parisian stance, confidence, attitude, charisma. Can’t MOVE for it!
I have 250 photos from a 2 day visit. That’s the other thing I love as a photographer. Can’t move for photo opportunities…

I love going to Paris in the winter – less crowded and seems so romatic all wrapped up in scarves etc!

Very lovely and fun! Makes me feel happy just looking at the shop here!

I love the museums, especially the Rodin museum, Musee d’Orsay and obviously the Louvre. The shopping’s great too!

Man, this is just, like, Giveaway Heaven this week! It’s like you’ve peered inside my head and found all my favourite things!
My favourite thing about Paris (when I went there, some shocking 13 years ago) was those mad catacombs, not sure where, lined with all the stacked up bones and skulls. Creepy, yes, but pretty amazing.

When I was in Paris I ran into an old Australian friend at the Louvre, and together we blagged our way into the Romeo Gigli and Westwood shows that week. Fab!

My favourite thing is that the museums are open really late!

I’ve never been, but am desperate to go round the flea markets, I hear they’re wonderful! And I really love the ‘Metropolitain’ art deco signs – can’t wait to get my own pics of those

I love the feeling you get there. Every time I’m there, I want to be a better, more creative me. I want to draw and paint and photograph

the food!

Fabulous giveaways!!! I love Paris, the museums, Sacred Cour, the bohemia… uf everything!!!
Thanks for this opportunity!!
(^v^)

I love sitting on the steps of Sacre Coeur just taking in the view (after a hard day of shopping of course!).

My fave thing about Paris is the smell of french cigarettes when you walk out onto the street. You know you really are there.

The promise of it! (I still haven’t been. But it’s pretty nice dreaming for a wee while longer!)

My fav thing about Paris was just knowing that I was there – I could’t believe I actually was there!
Anyway, I love birdies – did you know that A Bird In Hand, Poops On Your Wrist!

I’d love to win this. My favourite thing about Paris must have been the Louvre and some of the beautiful architecture and there was some lovely food as well.

A few moments in Place des Vosges followed by an ice cream at Berthillon and a stroll around the Île Saint-Louis. Heaven.

ornate details on the buildings and railings.
and the metro smells of sugared nuts!

Favourite thing about Paris . . . my very rusty school French from 1967 can be understood even in the most elegant boutiques !

Proper Hot chocolate and a beautiful Haberdashery Shop with big jars full of feathers.

For me, it’s breakfast in those little cafes, coffee and croissants. Bliss!

Hey there,
I’ve nominated your blog in the Kretive Award. It’s nothing much But I just want to say your blog really inspires me a lot!
Thanks!

paris is just like wee birdy – what’s not to love!!!

Unfortunately I haven’t been back since I was 11 when my favourite thing was the beateau mouche and zipping along the Seine. However I spend alot of time visiting my family in SW France and it has to be the sunflowers, white cows, plums and chocolatines.

My favorite thing about Paris is walking without a map and getting lost…. and the Metropolitan signs which are so pretty.

What a great give-away! My favourite thing about Paris was Notre Dame, I found it really awe-inspiring plus the lovely river that runs past it and delicious cafes to sit and watch the world pass by. My least favourite thing was getting locked in a toilet in a cafe and not knowing the French for ‘Help, let me out!’

Window Shopping – every shop window, whether a boulangerie, fromagerie, patisserie or boutique, is like its own piece of art!

How shakey your legs feel once you’ve climbed down the Eiffel Tower?

I’ve never been (layover in Charles de Gaulle doesn’t count really!), but I would love to go browsing through french markets as I heard they have lovely fabrics and habadashery items to fuel my crafty desires!

My favourite thing about Paris? Sharing a chocolate eclair with my darling on the Pont des Arts early in the morning!
We’ll always have Paris!

I have never been to Paris but I’m sure I’ll love Monmartre with all the artsy crowd,The Louvre and big walks around the city overhearing the language which I absolutely adore!

What I love about Paris are the memories and adventures of being just 18 and on my first holiday sans parents, of returning for my perfect honeymoon, taking my daughter on her first European break and the countless other times I have visited. There is always something new to experience, the perfect creme brulee to relish and the perfect slip into (slightly) seedy decadence, which is why I cannot wait until October when I go again.

It’s all about the pain au chocolat and the macarons!

Approaching Paris, I love seeing the Eiffel Tower when it first comes into view. I’ve been three times and it always makes my heart skip a beat!

What I love about Paris… many things but mainly hot French well dressed men!

An hour or two spent in the world’s best music and film store, Fnac. I always make a beeline for Yann Tiersen CDs (he did the music for Amelie)…

Our honeymoon hotel de Crillon. Fantastique.

That I´ve yet to experience Paris, as I´ve never been…. won a trip there once, but fell ill so never went.
I think my favourite would be vintage shops….

Thanks for all your brilliant comments, the comp is now closed. Winners will be announced on Monday!

Croissanting!

J’aime Paris…parce que…(ok, that’s pretty much my limit, A levels were a very long time ago)…hmm, haven’t been to Paris for years, but the crepes with limon on a bridge in an artst’s quarter were absolutely gorgeous – especially as I’d spent all my money and had to introduce myself to one single crepe and call it “dinner”.

I am in thrall to that beautifully dressed doll. Do you know anything about her? xx

Another gorgeous shop, i didn´t knew they had a brick&mortar location now. How sweet!
