Thank you for joining this weekly meme. Grab a copy of the photo above and link back to An Accidental Blog. Share with the rest of us your passion for France. Did you read a good book set in France? See a movie? Take a photo in France? Have an adventure? Eat a fabulous meal or even just a pastry? Or if you're in France now, go ahead and lord it over the rest of us. We can take it.
Make sure you scroll down to Sunday's post for a chance to win a copy of a book set in France. I plan to give away a number of books set in France over the next few weeks, or months.
It's very long and narrow with some lovely views of the city.
We met our French friends who put off their trip to Poland for a day so we could rendez-vous in Paris. They had never walked along Ile aux Cygnes before either.
The Eiffel Tower is visible from so many points in the city.
The island is lined with trees, and in March they had only a slight green fuzz, but I'm sure it's a wonderful leafy walk in the summer. Our friend Michel led the way with his map.
My friend Danuta and I posed at the end of the island for a picture. Danuta and I have been friends since 1985 when I traveled to France as an au pair for two American girls. Her own daughters were around the same sage and we spent the summer exploring the countryside around the family house. Her husband Michel and my charges' father were cousins.
Every time we visit France, we see Danuta and Michel, either at their home in Nantes or in Paris.
I can't wait until we can host them in our home in France.

I am going to need to check this out.
Truly, Esme, it was a little boring. But maybe if you want a walk on a beautiful day.
ok thank you for that heads up.
Sorry it was a little dull....I may check it out if I go to Paris again as I love walking, though.
Of course, it was pretty and walking in Paris is never time wasted.
Gorgeous photos. I would love to go to Paris one day.
