After suffering through that Siberian cold front I thought I would never willing get outside again. I was getting a bit of cabin fever, doing the same thing every day but unwilling to get outside except for trips to the grocery store. Finally, the weather has changed. I went outside to walk around the St Germain area and it was just beautiful with a blue sky, sunshine and the temperature (I looked it up when I got back home) 55 degrees. It was a pleasure to be outside.

Paris restaurants and cafes almost always have really colorful chairs like these two. They are water proof too.

Look at these dresses in a shop window-notice that they are sleeveless. Spring will be here before we know it.

Isn’t this a lovely square? It’s often used for movies made in France needing something from the last century.

How I would LOVE a cup of café au lait in Paris right now
With you.
I am wondering whether the last picture was in the movie ‘Age of Innnocence’
Thanks for the spring sights in Paris. I do wish I could window shop with you.
Glad you’re able to get out and about again. And I’m with Britt-Arnhild; I’d love to be sitting in Paris having a cup of coffee with both of you.
What a beautiful square. So romantic and sad too. Thank you for posting!
Ok, I want those purple/gold chairs. Really.
I love French cafe chairs…had a chance to buy a set of six a few years ago, and wish I had. Not that I need more chairs!
