Lumpy
How many extra Suitcases did you have to buy to bring all the goodies home in? Looks like you guys had a great time.
We brought an empty one with us jsut for that 8)
Lumy, Lumpy, Lumpy. You are driving me crazy with the food pictures. My wife and I are scheduled to go to Paris in April and pick up a river cruise to Normandy. The food looks fantastic. Were you able to bring any back with you? I want to bring whatever I can legally pack back with me that I can't get here. Probably just the chocolate, not the sausages and cheeses. How was the wine?

The wine was never ending and finished off with a coganc every night.
We got pulled for 2nd inspection at Canada customs only because they wanted to see the cheese we brought home. They did not care about the cognac and champagne. :o
Just beautiful pictures!
I hope you did not find the weight you lost before ya left :o :o
Looks awesome, glad you had a great trip and a safe return!!
I could have sat a drank my way around that beer rack.
It's been quiet awhile since I was there, but it still looks the same, the french love their wine and cheese....
great pics, but it struck me that only here would the majority of pics from a vacation not be of the famous and historical sites, but of food ;D ;D
Awesome trip, thanks for sharing!!!
That was Paris Tennessee? Dang, I've been through Paris TN a lot and never found those places. ;D
Looks like a great trip Lumpy!
Holy KaPOW Mike. Awesome!
Nice pics. I was there in August for two weeks. We go every 4 years so I can ride a popular bicycling event. One thing I learned is to not eat pizza with your fingers. However, I occasionally would order it to go and take it back to my hotel room and eat it without worrying about French etiquette. ;D
Mom/Dad
Whad ya bring me?
HA
Nice pics.
A lousy t-shirt ;D
Nice!
We were there 10+ years ago... This particular place was fun.

With you on the Paris, TN KyNola, And I can report the same for Paris, TX. But the food scene in Paris Fr. is incredible. I'm sure the fancy schamancy restaurants are good also, but every time we've been, we head for the food markets and food stores. Stuff that costs $18 bucks a jar here, costs $2.00 there in their grocery stores. We have some mighty fine picnics even if some of them are just on the hotel bed. One word of warning, take your own wine opener. You can buy a six pack of wine at the grocery for little of nothing or buy a jug of vin du pays for a mere pittance but when you go to buy an opener - now that is expensive! Lumpy, it looks like you and wifey had a wonderful time. Makes me want to go back. Now I've got to stop daydreaming how it would have been as a single young man living in Paris! Ooooolala! They watercolor in Paris don't they?
