Paris through Lisa's eyes

One our tour of the Left Bank with Richard, we passed a store that caught our eye and had to go in for a few moments. Inside hundreds and hundreds of teapots. The shop was pretty expensive and we saw teapots in other places that were as attracticve with much lower price tags, but this shop was spectacular just for presentation.

Another window in the 6th arrondissement caught our eye the first morning as we were walking to meet Richard for the first time. We ended up buying gloves later the next day at the Christmas market, but wow...what a neat display!








Anyone need a necklace?

Richard took us to see a friend's art show and across the street was this Chinese theater, in active use.













Luxemburg Gardens is the largest park in Paris and very close to where we stayed in the 6th arrondisement. The first day we visted the museum there for a gorgeous Tiffany exhibit. (I was amused we flew the ocean to see an American artist.) The next day, with Richard, we strolled in the park iteself, once the private gardens of the Queen. One building contained an Orangery, basically a hothouse for citrus trees.
