One of the things we did was the Architecture Boat Tour. This little tour down the Chicago River fed my interest in architecture. And now you share this 1001 book. Serendipitous. Off to see if I can find a copy.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-39534708600688783152012-07-28T07:19:02.491+10:002012-07-28T07:19:02.491+10:00I want to go back to Paris!

Even though we only live just over the...Hi Louise,<br /><br />Even though we only live just over the channel, in the South of the UK, I have to admit that I have only ever been to France twice, both times to Paris, but both times with work, so we didn't get to do much sightseeing.<br /><br />The only vivid memory I have of my trips (which were both many years ago), is of taking our car over on the ferry and being met by a Frenchman from the company we were visiting, who proceeded to ask us to follow him through the City centre. Not being used to the precarious driving practices of the locals, we became separated at the roundabout junction surrounding the 'Arc de Triomphe'. Not to worry though, we spotted him immediately, stood on top of his car, which he had stopped right in the middle of the four lane roundabout, holding up some very disgruntled drivers. !!<br /><br />Welcome To Paris !!<br /><br />Lovely post, brought back some great memories,<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-18007023803005374112012-07-26T22:19:57.435+10:002012-07-26T22:19:57.435+10:00That sounds like a marvelous book!

I love the view of it from the rooftop terrace of the department store opposite.
