It’s turned cooler in Paris in the last month and I’ve captured some of the last foliage on the trees. The top photo with the pumpkins was taken in a potager at Chateau Cheverny in the Loire.

October 2017 Instagram Photos

Autumn is full bloom and many of the photos this month reflect the foliage in the parks, courtyards, and sides of buildings. The leaves and ivy are turning burning red, mustard and ochre and piling on the ground.

Fall fashion is also in full swing and I snapped a photo of a decadent pair of knee-high Saint Laurent boots studded with rhinestones.

July 2017 Instagram Photos

I’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors in the warm summer weather doing tours all over Paris this month. The trees are all in their full green and summer flowers are in bloom.

It’s also the time of the year for a bounty of summer fruits and vegetables overflowing at the markets and food shops.

Enjoy July in Paris!
