Went to Paris for the Seine

It’s been an eventful year, and the other day, I was lamenting the fact that I haven’t taken that many photos this year compared to other years.  But, then one of my Paris pictures popped up on my screensaver, and I remembered I WAS THERE in the Spring! And, I took a lot of pictures!  Posts are likely to remain sporadic for the next while as I continue with work and pursue Life Coach training on the side, but it’s important to me to also at least dabble on the creative side.

Paris was all about spending as much time near, and on, the Seine, as possible, and the pictures I took reflected that.  When you visit any new city, especially one like Paris, it’s impossible to see and do everything, so you pick and choose the things you think you’ll enjoy the most, and living in land-locked Saskatchewan, that meant being near the water.

Views of Paris from the Seine on three different tours…tour boat, Batobus (the boat bus), and an evening cruise.

From the Pont des Arts Bridge (thought I’d read that all the locks had been removed but there were still quite a few all along the bridge).
