The sun is here again!

And so I thought I'd plant some new flowers on the balcony, to provide a bit of Christmas colour.

And good thing I was in (Les had gone to the cave for more wine) as the doorbell rang, and guess what? My ruby slippers have finally arrived from Iceland and not a moment too soon as we will be getting more rain and I'm sure in Paris we might see a drop or two. And these pink ladies are gortex!

Below are some pictures from around town. I found that now that the leaves are off the trees, we can finally see "our" aqueduct more clearly. This is where we go each Saturday to a fabulous market and I included pictures of that market a few weeks ago.

And downtown, as part of the Christmas decorations, there is the expected Christmas tree at one end of the Place de Comédie and then this inflated globe. Haven't yet figured out why.

One of the most interesting buildings is this one. I took the picture from the steps of the Église Saint-Roch. You can see the reflection of the church in the windows. But wait, it's not a reflection as the whole front of this building is a trompe l'œil. There are 5 real windows and the rest are painted onto the building. Can you guess the real windows?
