Christmas in Paris! Wouldn't it be fun to hop on a plane and spend the night in Paris... at Christmas time? We could walk the streets with a pastry and cafe au late... pretending we live there! Look at amazing light displays... Take pictures and people watch... Do a little holiday shopping... Visit fabulous landmarks... Watch the streets clear as dawn approaches... Welcome the new day... And then hop a plane back home! Wouldn't it be fun! {All photos are linked to the original posting...}

  Our   fun travel plans to Paris just wouldn't be complete if we  didn't stop and visit the home and gardens of  French Impressionist Claude Monet! Both his house and garden are filled with fabulous color!  In several of the rooms, the furniture is painted the same color as the walls. The walls are decorated with his mass collection of Japanese woodblocks... 231 in total.  They really inspired him and he love seeing them all around his house! I get so inspired by the bright colors and the thought that I have something in common with this great artist! The garden is also filled with splashes of color everywhere you look! His own garden, pond and Japanese bridge were the inspiration for countless paintings. I especially love the Water Lillies... and the paintings he did of them.   I'm so inspired by the artist Caude Monet and can't wait to see his house, gardens and pond next September!
