For my final Paris in July Saturday Snapshot I thought about my experience of Paris in July. I was in Paris in July in 2010 and it was HOT. It was hot walking around. It was hot in the Metro. It was hot trying to sleep. It was hot in the Louvre (airconditioned? Non).
 |
| Everyone was looking for a way to cool off |
 |
| We hit Aquaboulevard for a day |
 |
| The locals were looking for ways to keep cool too |
 |
| They do love Diet Coke for some reason, and sparkly hats it seems |
|
|
We ate Berthillon every day.
|
|
|
Different flavours every day!
My son learnt to read French on these boards
|
|
|
Ahhh, Berthillon. Best. Icecream. Ever.
|
 |
Sometimes icecream was the destination.
Amorino is definitely worth a detour. |
 |
Magnums in France have an M and real dots of vanilla in the icecream
The thrill of travel for the young. |
 |
| We ate sorbet in cafes. |
|
|
Beaujolais! Chilled red wine- for lunch.
So fantastic, it's life changing.
|
 |
| We made use of the water sellers everywhere |
 |
We ate delicious raspberries pretty much every day.
Although I think they were Spanish. |
 |
| We picnicked by the Seine |
 |
| And enjoyed the fabulous atmosphere and entertainment |
|
|
Evening walks were wonderful. The beautiful Parisian evening light.
Accidentally happening upon more beauty.

Next July I'll be in Paris again!
I can't wait.

Oh, I love that first pic best, I think.
ReplyDeleteI want to just lounge there forever.
Paris seems, to be, in any month, better than anywhere else, in any season.
Yet I've never been.
Oh, that's great that you will be there again next July! Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures really conjure up the feel of Paris. I love them. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/5WXI0
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures - though I'm glad I've never been there when it's really hot. My favourite Berthillon ice-cream flavour is pain d'épices!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, hope you've had a great holiday! I've only been there once when I was younger with school but hope to go again, with the freedom to explore!
ReplyDeleteThat does look hot hot hot! It never fails to astound me just how beautiful Paris is.
ReplyDeleteOur son loved to order his own ice cream when we lived in France. I see things have changed when we lived there - you would never have seen a Frenchman in tennis shoes then. That was a sure sign of an American. Thanks for sharing your great photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - Magnum with real vanilla pieces sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI have great memories of my visit to this city.. Awesome place.. Icecream are a sure way to beat the heat..
ReplyDeleteIce cream, chilled red wine, I'd take the heat in return for those experiences. Congrats on returning to Paris in July. Then you can post some up-to-the-minute shots next July. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteEven now when we talk about our trip to Paris, it's the ice cream that my daughter always brings up first. I have to prompt her about the Mona Lisa and the Winged Victory of Samothrace! lol!
ReplyDeleteI feel cooler just reading your post! And now I have an inexplicable urge to go eat ice cream.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are just wonderful. Like a quick trip to Paris.
Luscious photos! The ice cream, the fruits, the wine...I want it all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
Can one ever get enough ice cream in Paris?
ReplyDeleteor anywhere for that matter...
Love your hot hot hot Paris pics too!
You must try Paris pools for a cooloff next time. So easy and very refreshing
merci carolg
Lovely photos - strangely I now have a hankering for a faceful of sorbet....
ReplyDeleteCan you believe we've been in Geneva for a year now and STILL NOT BEEN TO PARIS...? Talks are afoot to do just that in the October mid term break.
And yep, Diet Coke (or 'Coke Light') is huge in French-Suisse too.
Fantastic photos! That ice cream made me drool!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Saturday Snapshot post!
I've felt like I've been to Paris this month with 'Paris In July'. Such a vibrant, lively city.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely series, looks like a great visit even if it was very hot.
ReplyDeleteActually, all those ice cream shots...I'll have to duck into the freezer and pull out some ice cream. :-)
Fabulous photos♫ What a great experience♪
ReplyDeleteLovely tour of Paris. Makes me want to return.
ReplyDeleteYou have perfectly captured Paris in July!
ReplyDelete*sigh* Love your pictures!!! The ice cream, especially feels like a special foreign treat. Great pictures!!
ReplyDeleteYou make my mouth water.
ReplyDeleteThe framboise a la rose especially delights me.
I'm surprised they don't have air conditioning in the Louvre. Those many ice cream flavors look very yummy! I could see why that could become a destination of the day. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have sent me to dreamland!
ReplyDeleteAnd chilled red wine for lunch no less. Fantastique.
Some great pictures o trying to cool off in Paris! Yummy ice cream! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to visit Paris. I love these pictures!
