Farewell, Paris

A few last views of beautiful Paris...

To celebrate my departure, my dad treated us to lunch at my favorite Paris restaurant, Le Congrès at the Porte d'Auteuil. I had 12 oysters and chocolate mousse for dessert - with a glass of champagne of course.

Beautiful post - what a fine way to say "au-revoir Paris" - California, how exciting, wish I were heading there right now, we are to have snow here tomorrow..! I believe every ending is simply a new beginning...
Hope you enjoy your new life..:)

I'm sure you'll find beautiful sides of Californian life to show us.

Yeah, if you are moving to the LA area from Paris, you are going to get REALLY homesick. Wow. Hope you find other adventures to compensate! :p

Beautiful photos. I feel like I'm saying goodbye too. We are lucky to have you in the US. Too bad it's the wrong coast. Darn sunny California. I'm wishing you the best. Can't wait to see the the pics. I will miss Paris so much.

California will be beautiful through your eyes as Paris has been. What a courageous move. I await your next post...

Hey Harriet said...

I'm looking forward to your Californian postings. I'll miss the glimpses of Paris that you've kindly & so beautifully shared, but I'm keen to see California through your eyes. Have a safe trip :)

Moi,son pere, je tiens a rassurer tous ceux qui s'inquietent pour Mary-Laure. Je sais qu'elle est super reflechie dans ses actes et je sais aussi que si elle a choisi la CA au lieu de Cambridge MA elle nous le dira peut-etre un de ces jours...

Hasta luego!

Tess Kincaid said...

I would be sad to leave Paris, too, but your farewell lunch sounds just perfect. Looking forward to posts on your new west coast life.

Mary-Laure said...

TANGOBABY - as you are a Northern Californian, I am sure you view my love of LA with some skepticism, huh...

JO - bueno, tenia que empezar una nueva vida... un dia te contare.

KWANA - the "wrong coast"?! Is that what you New Yorkers call the West coast? Tell Jack this is a super dog-friendly place..

HILA - we'll see, my dear...

Jo said...

igual que a karina, a mí también me da nostalgia que te marches u_u

sea la razón que sea, como lo he dicho arriba, desde el fondo de mi corazón, te deseo lo mejor y que esta nueva vida sea tal y como la haz soñado!

abrazos suecos para ti!!

Bonbon Oiseau said...

ooo-bon voyage a little late but welcome to here....xodeb

Mary-Laure said...

JO - muchisimas gracias por tus palabras tan lindas y carinosas... Tu comentario me emociono mucho.

Vanessa said...

Late to the party, but wishing you well just the same in the move across the pond. Pity I won't catch you in your Paris! I am spending more time there in the coming month.

Viel Glueck!
