Paris, the city of love, the city of light
La Ville-Lumiere
Birthplace of the Age of Enlightenment
Here - poets, writers and artists have found inspiration for centuries.
Every night she glows illuminating the skyline.
Radiant capital casting her magic spell captivating all who walk her boulevards, river banks and bridges. Against the velvet night sky the lit up landmarks stand out in splendour.
In her midst, I have a lightness of step, a lightness of mood and oh, how I love as all lovers do. She romances me as no other.
At nightfall the famous Eiffel Tower a large lighthouse a beacon shining over the city.
I catch my breath in wonderment at the power of her blazing beams of light.
From sunset her glittering gold glows on the hour. Light shows entertain the passers by, the crowds.
Paris in the daytime is a dream
Paris in the nighttime an enchantment
that lights up our hearts and minds.
She romances me as no other.

Our granddaughter loves Paris, she is doing French and Italian at University and just spent 6 months at Uni in France, her boyfriend is from Paris so she went there a great deal.
Thanks for reading. How nice that your granddaughter loves Paris and is studying languages, and has a French boyfriend.
