So beautiful! Is that a private home or a museum, behind the trees? How lucky you are to have a white Christmas! We are supposed to get snow tomorrow and Monday.

I hope that yours was very merry!

Love,Claudia

Stumbled upon your blog after waking at 12 am (thinking it must be at least 7 am...don't you hate when that happens?). Love it. Want to run it by my fellow travelers. We are planning a trip to France May-June 2011 and would love one of your walking tours! We are a motley crue of 5 (4 women antiquers and one poor husband!)

Your Christmas photos these past two weeks have been something that I have greatly looked forward to receiving....have made an album on my IPad and love seeing the slideshow over and over again.
Once again, I must relate to you what fond memories we have of our walking tour of the Marais with you non September 9th...very special.
Sarah, Kyle and I wish you much success in the future..
