travel to Monet's gardens at Giverny,
and sleep in a French Château!

All photographers are welcome,

Belle Italia

A V e n e t i a n R o m a n c e

It seems like everyone is going to Italy. Shirley, from Simply-Chateau just returned from Venice, and Corey is there now.

Although we're "French at Heart", we dearly love Italy, too. Especially Tuscany. And Venice.

V e n e t i a n S u n s e t

We've only been to Venice three times, always during Carnevale, the festival which precedes Lent. Now, February brings back memories of those trips...

I took this shot in 2005, before the scaffolding went up. Must find out if it's down yet.

Here's a postcard I made using the above image

Gabby from Design Mom also posted pix yesterday from their trip to Florence. Wonderful photos!
Ciao!

m u s é e c a r n a v a l e t

this musée, in the Marais, was once the home of Madame de Sévigné, a friend of Louis XIV. I'm fond of this woman because of the elegance and sheer beauty of her former home, but mostly because of the tender loving letters that she wrote to her married daughter.

In Paris, between December 17 and January 2, there was no charge to ride the carrousels.

Oh, dear.

Next year, peut-être, I will go riding

many times.
