On My Way to the Metro
First thing we did on Saturday morning was going to the Market, to get some fresh food. I took my camera to take pictures of the snow and the market for you.
The market is a 15 minute walk away and I always take my bagpack with me cause I don’t like those “Rollsters”, as you always roll over the feet of the other people on the market and they on mine:)
After the market, I grabbed my Metroticket and headed to my favourite place, the Place de Trocadero, where you have this wonderful view of the Eiffeltower, and where you can see some horizon:) I absolutely had to get pictures of the Iron Lady in this cold, snowy and also wet weather, and I like this open space betweet the two monumental buildings which form the Palais de Chaillot. There were still lots of tourists there, considering that weather was a bit ugly, wind blowing icy snowflakes into your face and grey sky. But the Tourists don’t fear bad weather, neither do I, hey, the world is beautiful in Winter too…That is what the bride and the groom must have thought too, to come out here on their wedding day, in their wedding gowns and with an umbrelle:) They made all the people around smile:):)
Their most beautiful day
Sweatheart, can you believe it?
Did they follow us?
There were young couples, taking pictures of each other, Paris really is the perfect place for romance, even in January:) There are those who work, they sell little Eiffeltowers, or belts and watches, or caps and sunglasses, according to the season… and those who take their children for a walk, must be nice to see the world from a comfortable buggy. This view is always spectacular, come rain or shine, don’t you agree? I wish you a wonderful Sunday (for me it’s almost over) and a great week, love, Andrea

Oh Andrea, I MISS PARIS!
Thank you, thank you for this special peek into your truly delightful, snowy Saturday! I love the market. I miss those so much and you are right it is a cold (and in summer, hot) business. I don’t think you can find anything better than European (especially Paris) markets.
Your photos of the bride and groom reminded me of seeing a wedding party on the steps of a cathedral when I was in Paris the first time. It is so special to be there to see them all gathered around the bride and groom (I don’t know the cathedral, all I can remember is it is in the 1st).
Ah, and the Grand Old Iron Lady herself looks so majestic there in the snow and the views down Champs de Mars and from Trocadero Gardens are truly breathtaking!
My favorite, the hand print and heart on the car window – a real bit of Andrea.
Thanks again for sharing this special day!
PS, you have a delightful week, too!
Dear Andrea,
What a wonderful post! The photos are casual but with such an eye for detail…I love the wedding couple, the strollers and the gray light around the Iron Lady.
Stay warm!!!!
This was so interesting. I’ve never seen pictures of the outdoor markets in the winter before. I especially liked the bride and groom photos. thank you for sharing. We having snow too!
Greetings from the Ozarks,
Oh Andrea. These are so beautiful. I LOVE the pix of the Bride and Groom and especially with the Eiffel tower in View.
Awesome shot.
What great timing to be there.
How long was the metro ride to get there? Did hubby take the food home?
Thank you for taking us on this tour of Paris in January. <3
super pictures. Paris in the snow. I wonder if there are many pictures of this. I esp too loved the bride and groom. with the tower in the background in greys. Love the outdoor markets. Those folks need to wear fingerless gloves. Thanks for sharing your Sunday with us.
Wow winter is everywhere!
That married couple is cool!
Hello Andrea,

Quelle belle idée ce blog qui regroupe à la fois les dessins et les photos de Paris
Une bien jolie balade !
J’en profite pour te souhaiter tous mes meilleurs voeux pour l’année 2010 !
…. et au fait, qu’en est il de Miss Doodle ?
@ bientôt !
très belle série de photo. Ca me rappelle ma vie parisienne. Mais je n’ai pas souvenir d’avoir vu cette partie de la capitale sous la neige.
Ahhh, Paris becomes even more magical with a dusting of snow! And the beauty of the wedding photos! On every trip I make to Paris I always manage to spy at least one wedding. It just makes my heart sing! Reading your blog is a daily treat that keeps me sane.
