Goodbye Paris - Hello Nice

Leaving Gare de Lyon

On the train, fast, comfortable. better than flying.

Arrived in Nice.

Last dinner in Paris at Chez Gladines, a great place. Girls from New York, USA

Last look out our window at Paris rooftops.

Paris

Scooters galore in Paris.

Always in touch.

Place du Tertre & Place Helene & Victor Basche

Near the Alesia metro station at Place Helene & Victor Basche. This intersection of five streets had everything, cafes, Metro, numerous bus routes, butcher, baker, fishmonger, green grocer, etc. Our apartment was one minute down the street in Impasse du Rouet. Loved it all.

Drawing standing in the street

I drew both these standing in the street waiting for Bev and ,as with most of these, put the watercolour on later.

Tuileres and Carnavalet

The Carnavalet is full of historical items from Paris and the ticket is a dream come true for art lovers.

Paris cafe drawings

Loved sitting in the cafes drawing. A coffee at a good cafe was 5 Euros, about $7 Canadian/US, but that got you the table for as long as you like with no interruption from the waiter. People have written novels sitting at cafe tables in Paris.

Paris window views

I was hooked on the window view from our apartment.
