Le Grand Colbert

I am Home!
My cup is filled and I am so content. 
One of our first evenings in Paris was spent at 
Le Grand Colbert.
It is one of my husbands favorite visits because of the warm setting and delicious food.
                                                       
  It is also special because it is the restaurant Diane Keaton mentions and ends up on her Birthday with Keanu Reeves & Jack in one of my favorite movies,
Somethings Gotta Give. 
We are far from Jack & Diane but we were
so happy being here together.
After dinner we walked by the Grand Palais at night all lit up. 
So stunning!
Then we walked across the bridge.  The water was magical,
just like liquid gold.
Breathless.

Thank you all for you sweet wishes to me on my post,
Here, There & Everywhere.
Each one was so important to me. 
I will be posting my winner soon!

XO

    Le Grand Colbert through the window - a big sigh. Gorgeous...as are you.
    I love your description of the Seine, 'like liquid gold'. Sounds like your trip soothed your soul, Janet. Welcome home.

    Janet~
    Oh, I am so happy to know that you and your husband had a lovely trip and are back home safely. I am also so glad you had the waiter take that special picture of you and your husband at Le Grand Colbert-you both look ravishing. And your lovely black ensemble is quite parisienne, I must say. I know October must always remind you of your special autumn walks in Paris...
