Skip to content Paris May 2016
On the metro station waiting to Arrive at Versailles To enjoy the splendor of the paintings On the ceiling too Grand majestic corridors And gardens A savory creme brulee Tartine sausage, potato and cheesecake Pear cake Back to the gardens of the palace To smell the roses With duck confit to refuel And a creme brulee to finish The next day discovering the delights of Paris, such as a macaroon tower Quaint streets Tempting food shops Which only becomes better when you step inside With drooling onlookers Yet to off set the richness, a plain baguette And a cup of chocolate While stopping to listen to the street music A piano on the side walk The intimidating spires of Notre Dame The lofty interior Broken by fanciful stained glass windows With a cold cut lunch appetiser to slake our hunger Steak Shrimp on tomatoes With potatoes With a break to enjoy the garden of Luxembourg With a view of a lonely sky scraper Sacré-Cœur, Paris a marvelous church only a short walk away from Moulin Rouge With a place for contemplation Later to be followed by baked foie gras Scallops Tartiflette Goat’s cream Creme brulee And the best crumble I’ve ever had On our last day we stopped by many places to eat Yet we had to leave Paris with a pleasant after taste. A shot that only sells eclairs Sweet dreams Related
