The beautiful Iron Gates, and the windows at Christian Lacroix, and Yves make me happy, not to mention the car covered in astro-turf. How funny. Thank you very much for the tour. Even if I'm not in Paris, I am be because of you. I feel much better now.

All of these images are wonderful. I have never been to Paris...I will add it to my list of places to see before I croak! The last photo, with the two blue doors is fantastic.

They all look very inventive and interesting. But the car is my favorite!

These images make me want even more to finally meet Paris. :-)
I once bought an evening gown in Rome, which turned out to be an exact copy of a Christian Lacroix creation. It got "lost" in one of my many moves. :-(

I love those bendy lamps! I was just sitting here thinking I need a new lamp, but maybe Paris is a little to far to go!
