Starr Style is at it again! Organizing and scanning photos from bygone days.
l’Hotel Aramis de Saint-Germain
Recently, I’ve been enjoying Facebook posts featuring Spring Break photos. So, if our favorite social network had been invented by a then 14 year old Mark Zuckerberg, I would have included these shots from Spring Break in Paris 1998…
Adrien & Nana ~ Traveling Buddies
Adrien was 7 years old and a first grader at the Atlanta International School where he studied French every day. Equipped with his Kodak instamatic camera, he documented his trip and later shared his adventures with his classmates.
Our first evening in Paris at a Cafe on the Ile de la Cite.
All lit up and counting down to the New Millenium!
It was a blustery day when we visited the Eiffel Tower. We made the mistake of getting on the wrong elevator and after a very long ascent, we were delivered to the entrance of the Jules Verne Restaurant. This was not in the plan (nor the budget), but we took it as serendipity and dined with the Parisian elite for lunch that day. It was truly an epicurean (vegetarian) delight not to missed!
Grand Maman Pauline had sent Adrien money for him to purchase a nice souvenir from his trip. Here he proudly displays his purchase! This monumental memory has always held a place of honor in our home. Just recently, Adrien requested for it to be shipped to him at college to be used as a prop in a film he is producing!
A sunny afternoon on the Champs-Elysees!
We spent one delightful afternoon at the Jardin Du Luxemborg, a large and beautiful park that was walking distance from our hotel. I remember thinking how wonderful it was that Adrien could play and converse with the French children in the playground. It was a great way to kick back and relax in between all of the busy sightseeing days.
A favorite activity was our rainy afternoon cruise down the Seine on a Batteaux Mouche!
A Procession of Ponts!
An Afternoon in Montmarte
Adrien was still a train enthusiast, so he was keenly fascinated with the Metro – especially riding at night!
We spent our last evening in the Quartier Francais.
