Just read an interesting article about many Japanese tourists are returning home "culture-shocked" b/c their imagined "Paris" (influenced by the cinema and classical literature) was so vastly different from the truth of today's post-modern Paris.
nonetheless, I still have a half dozen shots of Paris/France around my place. do you know the woody allen scene is in Paris when he dances with goldie hawn on the riverwalk in "everyone says i love you." one of my faves! thx for sharing, Tina - Jg.
Ahhhh Sophia ~ Absolutely splendid! I just recently discovered this article on Sophia's Paris after I got inspired watching Marie Antoinette for the one millionth time! I don't even blink when I watch it. Sophia is a brilliant artist! I just did a post on Laduree (and those divine macaroons) that I think you'll appreciate.
