“Taken in the Côte d’Azur in France. While lying on the beach and watching the sea, I decided to exercise my toes a little! “
Good idea and very beautiful background!

Bordeaux, France
28 May“Our trip to southwestern France started and ended in Bordeaux. We flew into Bordeaux at the start of the trip and spent a few days in the Biarritz area, including Capbreton, Bayonne and St. Jean de Luz. We made a stop at the magnificent Dune de Pyla, and then returned to Bordeaux for the last two days before flying back to Lille. I had never been to Bordeaux before, and I was totally charmed by it. It is a beautiful city on the Garonne River. Parts of it reminded me of a mini-Paris. I would have loved to stay in Bordeaux a few extra days, and next time we will definitely explore the wine region. One of the sites we, and especially Louis, enjoyed the most was the Miroir d’Eau, a large fountain/pool of water on the riverfront. The Miroir d’Eau goes through a cycle of about 15-20 minutes. The basin starts out filled with water, but it is only about 2 cm deep, then it empties out and the wet surface creates a mirror effect. After a few minutes, vapor rises up and then the basin starts to fill with water again. I could spend hours watching people splash around in the fountain, and I think that Louis could play in it for hours too.

7 May“Despite a going to bed at four in the morning the previous night, we were determined not to sleep in. We vowed not to waste a single second in the beautiful city of Paris. We pulled ourselves out of bed around 9:30, grabbed a couple of croissants from the hotel, then set off for some craved shopping fix.
We got on the metro and headed for the Lafayette area, a place internationally known for its goods and also recommended by the local tour guide from yesterday. We just hoped for some cheap unique clothes, which can be a needle in a haystack.
It took us awhile to dig out the cheap boutiques after brushing through the cost-more-than-my-life name brands, but we eventually stumbled upon small store run by a Chinese couple with cloths like nothing we’ve ever seen before, and all at around 10€. I found a mustard-yellow dress that looked like it came straight out of the seventies, and boots that fit like a glove.
We met up in the hotel and set off for a walking tour of Paris. We were released for a little bit on a bridge that was gated off from cars. A young man modern-danced in the middle of the street with accordions in the background. It was quite a beautiful scene and I could not help but stare. He had a case open to collect money but I felt he looked genuinely content with dancing barefoot in the cold. He looked like he might’ve been a dance student as his techniques were very ballet-oriented and classical.
Visiting Paris again for a longer period of time has made itself into my bucket list. “
Great shot!

Réunion Island, France
17 Mar“The longest beach in Réunion is called L’Étang-Salé, which literally means The Salty Pond. Unusually, the sand is a volcanic black and so burning hot during the day that your feet are a painful, blistering red if you manage to walk across it. It’s a popular spot for surfers and I understood why as the waves were particularly immense on the day that I visited the ‘Pond’ with a few of my cousins. They were the kind of strong waves that can pull you out into the sea if you’re not careful, so we sat on the shore and let a few waves lap over us, which inevitably made us feel like silly, carefree children splashing in the water. A day at the beach is always somehow therapeutic, even if this particular day left me with a mass of black sand all over that took an age to wash out! “
Sounds like an interesting and great spot!

Unfortunately as fate would have, the post office was closed the day they were there so the post card was hand passed to me upon their return, with love. When I got home I whipped off the paper bag packaging and found 3 delights.
1) a lovely postcard from the lovely Paris, 2) a photo graciously printed of the Eiffel Tower (where my husband is taking me one day and where we will kiss passionately from the top under a starry Parisian night sky) and 3) a tourist map of Paris!!! Yippee, love it, thanks so much Michael and Chantelle. Now, what to do, what to do with my map… “
A great opportunity for creativity!

La Ville aux Dames, France

“This photo was shot near the Loire, a French river. The name of the place is La Ville aux Dames (which it could be translated as the city of the women).”
Very nice moment with a good friend.

24 Sepimaginerin writes, “The two final quarters of my Bachelor studies were done on contract in Europe. No classes, teachers or classmates; just me exploring a dream, soaking in all I possibly could. I wrote many papers, one of my finals being a 16-pager on “European Happiness: An Eastern Perspective on a Western World” where I focused on certain aspects of European culture that I observed contributing to their expression of identity and search for happiness. Some areas of studies were public art, graffiti and architecture.”
