Hello Fodorites

Bikerscott and I just got back from a lovely weekend in Paris.

The first 25 photos are from this past weekend, the others are from previous trips;

One of the highlights was walking the Promenade Plantee on a beautiful Sunday morning.

Happy Travels everyone!

Yea, I just love following your adventures! Thank for taking the time to write a trip report.

I love your pictures. One of my favorite thing to do in Paris is walk the Promenade Plantee. Thank you again

Oh dear, Christmas windows already.... But lovely photos, it's a good time of year to go.

Did you stay at Cosmos again - and is that cat still "en vacances"?

We did...they have renovated recently...quite nice!

The xmas pics are actually from last year...the ones before are from this weekend

Always love seeing your latest photos.... and then I wander through your old albums again, you really are a great photographer.

Jamikins:

Great photos. Always look forward to your contributions. Was recently in the "flying telephone booths" and thought of you.

So jealous of anyone who can make a weekend trip to Paris. Despite my recent trip to Italy, I am missing Paris!!

Great photos...love good ole St Denis!

Nice photos, as always - thanks for sharing! I see you were hanging around our 'hood of choice, Montmartre. In fact, I think that's our fishmonger in one of those pics. Just had some wonderful goodies from Le Grenier à Pain last month. Sigh.

Wonderful photos, jamikins! I'm heading to Paris for 17 nights next month, so your photos are a great tease!

Soooo sorry some weird guy kept photobombing your shots . . .

Thanks everyone, glad you enjoyed the pics!

Haha swandav! Yeah I see that weird guy a lot!

What beautiful photos (of my favorite place)! How I envy that you are so near; it's a long way from San Diego. Thanks so much for sharing.

Great photos -- thanks for sharing. We used to love Aux Trois Petits Cochons, but haven't been to their "new" location. Did you by chance eat there? What is the bldg on the first photo? thanks!

Thanks guys

The building in the first photo is a police station!

Wonderful photos. Like denisea, I'm jealous of your ability to pop over to Paris for a weekend. I remember being so surprised to find out that the building with the reproductions of Michelangelo's Dying Slave, seen from the Promenade Plantée, was a police station.

I'm heading to London for a week and then Paris for a week next month. Thanks for whetting my appetite.

Sunday was such a lovely sunny day here in Paris. It has been hit or miss this week but didn't get wet the last two days. Nice pictures.

So, I have a question that arose when I was looking at the photos. Is it really puffy-coat weather in Paris?? It seems like a lot of folks in the shots were wearing serious winter coats.

Here in Bavaria it's raincoat or heavy-sweater weather, with temps around 10 C in the morning and around 13 or 15 C in the afternoon.

Just curious -- flpab or jamikins -- do you think the weather really required puffy coats??

Thanks!

Thanks everyone!

No swandav, the first 25 or so pics are from this weekend. Others are from numerous trips (one over NYE week) hence the different coats!

ahhhh. Thanks for the explanation!!
