Today is a bonus post (I usually post Monday to Thursday). I was walking on the Quai aux Fleurs and couldn't resist taking photos of these glorious and gorgeous hydrangeas, which are one of my favorite flowers. Did you know there is a flower and plant market -Marche aux Fleurs-on the Ile de la Cite on the Place Louis Lepine? On Sundays it becomes the Marche aux Oiseaux- the bird market.

I also found these incredible roses a few minutes later on my walk.
I am pleased as punch to announce the launch of Eye Prefer Paris Tours, which are 3-hour walking tours I will personally be leading. The Eye Prefer Paris Tour includes many of the places I have written about such as small museums & galleries, restaurants, cafes & food markets, secret addresses, fashion & home boutiques, parks, and much more.
I look forward to meeting you on my tours and it will be my pleasure and delight to show you my insiders Paris.
