Wordless Wednesday | Paris Honeymoon





Wordless Wednesday is supposed to be about posting a photo(s) without any words. But, I'm a rule breaker, so here are a few words:

1 - After getting married in Copenhagen, we honeymooned in Paris.

2 - That was a long, long time ago - 26 years.

3 - We didn't have a lot of money at the time (and we still don't) so we stayed in a really dodgy hotel. Thankfully, the views of Paris from the balcony made up for our room's shortcomings. 

4 - For some reason, looking at these pictures has left me with a distinct craving for a pain au chocolat.

What words does this picture(s) bring to your mind when you look at it?

    Money or not, you were fortunate to get to honeymoon there.
    Have a blessed Christmas, Ellen!

    Not a place I ever want to visit, but I'm glad you had such a wonderful marriage and honeymoon. Very impressive is what this brings to mind.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥

    We had the choice of Paris or Amsterdam for our honeymoon almost 37 years ago. Those were the only options in the British Rail Stardust Mini Holiday brochure - yes, it was as classy as it sounds. We chose Amsterdam but have been to Paris several times since.

      I love Amsterdam as well. We've been there several times. Always a fun city to visit.

    Pain au chocolat are my favorite French pastries. My favorite Belgian one has a layer of baked custard in it with the chocolate. Yum!

    Mark and I have still not been on a honeymoon. We have been married for 10 years now. One day... I have been to Paris many times before. It is only a three-hour drive from where I lived in Belgium.

      I think I'd really like the Belgian pastries. Chocolate and custard - what could be better?

    Writing this comment right from Paris... Had to come here for my french-speaking crew (and boyfriend) to apply for a visa at the US embassy... Eventually we'll get there with the boat...
    Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your time in France back then and didn't encounter too many rude Parisians... ;)
    I really enjoyed finding your comment on my blog and espère que le blog t'aidera à entretenir ton français.
    All the best, fair winds!

    Baguette. I cannot think "French" without also craving a bit of real bread...

    Oh, Paris. I think staying in those rooms just adds to the culture :)

      It was very cultural, sipping on red wine and looking out at the amazing view. Loved it :-)

    No matter how dodgy your hotel might have been, it must have been an amazing experience. (Those dodgy places can leave us with some of the best memories. Usually funny ones.)

    I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas.

      It is pretty funny looking back at it now. Glad we can afford slightly less accommodations now :-)

    Wow! I traded travel and excitement for a cushy life in Ohio suburbia. So, looking at these photos, the word 'lame' comes to mind, describing me. LOL

      Don't knock it - a cushy life sounds absolutely heavenly at times to me.
