Salut mes chéries!

My Brother and Sister (in-law) are in Paris , I'm wishing we were there!

A wish is a magical little device that gives you hope. When you close your eyes and whisper your wish into the world it makes it feel as though your dream is absolutely possible.

I wish for travel. This wish is not only for myself but for everybody and especially for Yasmine. I believe in traveling to places unknown, favourite spots with wonderful memories, countries unimagined, and places that can soothe the soul and allow one to recharge. I have learned so many incredible things about our world and the people we share it with on our (before children) voyages. Travel brings cultures together and offers us an understanding of other people and places. It broadens our understanding of just what is possible on this Earth and teaches us compassion and tolerance. It brings people and families closer together, connects us to our roots, and makes wishes a reality. For now i will just have to make do with International radio and online French magazines.

Dreaming Loire

Chenonceau

(French: Vallée de la Loire) is known as the Garden of France. A place where you can pretend your a real princess, where you can throw all of life's problems the the wind and feel satisfied with yourself that you did nothing but sit in a orangery all day while eating crepes smothered in nutella chocolate. Where every season is just as good at the next, its no wonder Greats like Leonardo Devinci Loved it there, or inspiration for Tin Tin stories came from, where french royals hunted and gathered. Châteaux, numbering more than three hundred you will get lost and discover yourself again. The greatest of them all being Chenonceau (pic above), Amboise, Chambord, d'Usse, Cheverny and Garden of Eden Villandry, cant wait to go back.
 

Fête de la Fédération

Le quatorze juillet (14 july) in France is a public holiday known as Federation holiday or in English - Bastille Day. A fortress and prison in Paris known as the Bastillle ruled by royal authority, the storming of the Bastille for the declaration of man and of the citizen, is the third part of the French Revolution and a day of celebration for the french people. First being the refusing to pay taxes to King Louis XVI and Second the formation of the National Assembly and the Tennis Court Oath.

Which is how we now have the Blue White and Red formed by the middle class a symbol of the revolution and now France itself.

And a great day to be in Paris for Fireworks!
