It would be so so great to see these places! I know I have also not read any books from the French perspective, I hope I too get a chance to read French authors.

I’m glad your trip to Paris was so much fun! I hope you’re feeling better.

I will definitely return to Paris and London at least one more time in my lifetime. The Musee d’Orsay is tops on my list, as well as Montmartre and Shakespeare and Company.

Hope you and your husband are feeling better this week!

Thanks also for posting that picture of the sculpture as well.

My boyfriend and I are planning to go to Paris in thr spring, and I was actually also thinking of doing some themed reading before then. I bet it will make the trip a lot more enjoyable if I know a little but more about French history. If you find any good books I’ve love to hear about them!

Husband-unit and I went back in February…everyone was making fun of us going in February when the weather is so dismal, but I have to say, it’s the only time of year when Versailles isn’t a mad-house. I’ve been when the crowds were overwhelming, know what you mean, but it’s worth it to go in the off-season so you can leisurely stroll the palace without getting mobbed, lol. Of course the downside is that the gardens aren’t in bloom. So my new solution is this: go in Feb. to see the palace and make another trip in summer just to see the gardens. :)

But one of the best (to our utter shock) places we went was to Cararra, from where Michaelangelo got his marble. As we were approaching, we thought we were seeing white snow-capped alps, but actually what we saw were mountains made of white marble. It was totally amazing – I felt like I was inside Shannon Hale’s “Princess Academy” book! Glad you had such a good time – I agree – it sounds like Japanese art would seem incongruent in Versailles.
