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.

What are you dreaming about this week? Thanks for playing along. Please visit each other's blogs for more glimpses of France.
