Thank you so very much for the won...Hello Lori Ann!<br />Thank you so very much for the wonderful comment, it makes such a difference to me to hear from readers - and of course, it's glorious when a reader likes what I've written! <br />La Coupole is in the 14th, right next door to my quartier and easy to get to by the 88 bus. Paris has changed a great deal over the years, like any city I suppose. I am not familiar with Colombes so can't tell you about that town. I hope to be back in France by mid summer with a project underway I can't wait to share here... so, stay tuned!

And, I take it as no coincidence as I had the most vivid dreams of Paris this past night! Albeit far too many years since my last visit, I too, subscribe to venturing out to the Paris of days past, avoiding tourists, and subjecting yourself to the tastes, wit, and sometimes cruel discretion of the local countrymen, especially when they hear your french! I pride myself on a very decent accent, and horrible grammar! But it works in a pinch. Tell me if you will, in which arrondisment is the restaurant La Coupole? Also, my first visit to Paris over 30 (ouch!) yrs. ago, I stayed with most gracious friends in Colombes. I remember it to be an easy commute into the city. Has it changed much? Je vous merci pour la consideration. Lori Ann Also, when can you return? Not that California is all that hard to take! Still, I empathize with your nostalgia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712612109397687776.post-87927033817246248482014-02-24T12:27:45.944+01:002014-02-24T12:27:45.944+01:00Paris in original can be charming as these picture...Paris in original can be charming as these pictures show. Tourists must be avoided and the tourist places too.....I recall in Montmartre going down some stairs and found a whole buzzing area full of restaurants, small shops and wine bars, one of them 'the smallest wine bar in France' - I made myself well known and got myself taken down to the cellar - almost postage size!iwmpophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02143181925740414941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712612109397687776.post-6772019705546373362014-02-24T02:39:36.225+01:002014-02-24T02:39:36.225+01:00Your lips to God's ears!

And we must not forget the planning of many Chasing adventures in bis2! Soon enough your daydreams will become reality. You'll be reunited with the quartier you hold so dear.
