Paris: City of light

Nov 15, 2019,07:40 AM
 

I love Paris because of its history, romantic feeling, art, culture, restaurants.

And also because of all the watch boutiques.
The first time I came to Paris was in '78 with my parents and brother and sister, last time in may with my daughter and planning my next visit in april.
And now some pictures

In front of the JLC boutique at Pl. Vendome
