Today I want to tell you......

little blogging friends ....you're great !! Thank you for your comments and reactions yesterday. I am so glad that through blogging land Maryam could raise some money for this Rwandan NGO. So today, I feel confident again, smiling, hoping all these tiny grains of sand will in the end bring some happiness where it is needed....

Today i'll be working at home on a translation....so no night out in the horizon, no saturday night fever...I'll stay up feeding words to my computer. But if I could, do you know where I would like to go tonight of all nights ?

P A R I S .......because tonight is the Nuit Blanche - white night - the night when Paris turns into an exciting cultural scene : galleries and museums are opened all night, installations and happenings are nearly everywhere in the street...

I miss my city now and then...I miss Le Marais district where I lived...Ok, Parisians can be rude, arrogant at times, actually most of times but who cares when you know it is indeed a marvellous ,inspiring and romantic city...I can't wait to walk hand in hand with Monchéri like these two happy people here.....
after a little walk on Pont des Arts , we would have coffee in one of my favorite cafés ever, Café Marly at the Louvre......
oh....the garçons de café parisiens....what can you say about them ? stylish....
I miss the fantastic bookshop of Artcurial gallery

Are going somewhere special this week end ?
Enjoy !....

Oh, don't mind me. I'll just stand right here at this open air book shop for at least an hour. Then you can find me inside that larger bookstore...I'll be there for a few days, in case anyone needs me.

Nuit Blanche is tonight here in Toronto too! From sundown to sunrise non stop art and culture events, installations and exhibits all over the city.

The sun is nearing the horizon now, so I'll be off and back after breakfast! Will blog about it tomorrow.

Oh, and I tagged you over at mine! Have fun.
Oh. Paris...A second love of mine too! I spent several months there in college going to school at the Ecole des beaux arts...it was a transfer program. LOVED it there!!

I turned 20 in Paris many years ago, and I will always love that city. Even though it is expensive and the people are busy, the parks and monuments are gorgeous..and of course the cafes.... lovely pics.

I am also mostly at home this weekend (not translating, but proofreading). But we watched Audrey Hepburn & Cary Grant on DVD last night (set in France!) and yesterday morning went out for breakfast, and this morning I went for a very windy seaside walk, so I am a happy bunny!

Nuit Blanche - oh this makes me miss Paris too!! It is truly a city unlike any other and there's a magic there that even the rude Parisians can't take away from it. In fact, aren't they a part of it?!

*sigh*

This made me feel happy.

Someday my dream is to be in Paris during La Nuit Blanche. What a statement it makes about the city, devoted to art and culture and makes it available to everyone on such a glorious night.

Lovely lovely photos.
