Paris in July








Il est temps à nouveau à Paris en Juillet, alors ...
partons!*

*It's time again for Paris in July, so...
let us be off!


J'aime Paris. 
J'ai été à Paris de nombreuses fois, 
mais la plupart de ces voyages 
ont été effectués dans les pages d'un livre.*

 *I love Paris. 
I have been to Paris many, many times, 
yet most of these trips were in the pages of a book.

... sauf pour un beau voyage à Paris ...*
*...except for one lovely trip to Paris...
Ma sœur et moi et ses deux filles ...*
*My sister and I and her two daughters...






Donc, heureusement, il est temps 
de revenir à Paris en Juillet ...*
*So, happily, it is time to return again to Paris in July...


Pour fêter ça, je lis des livres en français, 
et écouter de la musique française, 
et regarder des films français, 
et la cuisson du pain français.*
*To celebrate, I am reading French books, 
and listening to French music, 
and watching French movies, and baking French bread.




Voulez-vous venir avec moi?*
*Would you like to come along with me?

 Voici une liste de mes livres préférés fixés à Paris:*
*Here is a list of my favorite books set in Paris:
Top Ten Books That Take Place in Paris



Voici quelques-unes 
j'ai aimé ce que j'ai lu récemment.*
*Here are some I liked that I read recently.

Et voici quelques-uns j'ai l'intention de lire:*
*And here are some I plan to read:
Venez avec nous! 
Nous partons pour Paris pendant tout le mois de Juillet!*

    I bought a bunch of Paris books before my trip there this May and didn't get to nearly all of them. I might pick up one or two in July.

    Cute pic of you and your sister by the way. There are so rarely pictures on your blog.

    Just left the following comment at "One Literature Nut":

    Recommend that you view the lovely 2010 French period drama film "The Princess of Montpensier" ["La princesse de Montpensier"...see trailer at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1599975/], which can be viewed on Amazon Instant Video or purchased on DVD from Amazon. The film is based upon the 1662 novella/short story by Madame de (Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne) La Fayette, which also is available in English on Amazon.
