I arrived in Paris with the rest of Team BambinO and we were immediately welcomed by everyone at the Théâtre du Châtelet. The French audiences have been amazing and with the first few shows successfully completed I can’t wait to continue the run. It is crazy to look out across the city skyline from each of the venues and see so many iconic landmarks.
I have managed to practice speaking French and more importantly understanding replies and been happy to walk around Paris in the Spring sunshine. Here are a few photographs that I have taken for my scrapbook that I wanted to share with you all.
Tim Connor, Alison Reid, David Sneddon, Stuart Semple, Lissa Lorenzo, Me, and Laura Sergeant on the balcony of our changing room at the British Consul, Paris.

What gorgeous photos! Wow. I am so envious, as I have been in some of those places, but so long ago. How wonderful that this trip is going so well for you.
I was amused by your comment about “understanding replies.” Years ago I knew an American couple who spent a year in Paris as Fulbright scholars. They arrived, full of French vocabulary and stopped a gendarme to ask directions. After three attempts to understand his reply, he said (in excellent English), “Just get in my car and I’ll take you there.” 😀 Hopefully, you did better than that.
Haha, I could happily live here for a while 😀. Although my Cinderella ‘early to bed’ usual routine is counter-culture and I’ve been persuaded to try a couple of wines because it’s just not believable that I just don’t like the taste 😁.

I could easily sell Spring breaks to Paris I can’t recommend the experience enough, although I’m told it’s very busy on the roads because of the tourism.

Hi Charlotte, thank you for sharing. Photo #7 is my favorite. (the one above the Eiffel Tower). The Style of the Architecture is amazing. Oh, and nice dress. I will not bother you about the ‘pink’ purse. I lost that discussion long ago. :o)
The ironwork is amazing, it really appealed to me, what a great way to liven up a plain wall.
I’ve had so many compliments for my pink purse 👛 hehe, I had to buy a matching pink scarf 💖. The photo opportunities here for you are amazing.

Merci, I started the week saying ‘ fabuleuse’ when asked how I was, I was advised it was the wrong adjective – a bit too much – but I just don’t think they were used to my level of exuberance 😂.

Charlotte
you are right ! Only you can say if it’s ok or too much 🙂 and , “fabuleuse” comme from “fable” (legend, story with fairy, princess, … ) … and, when you are ask about your own feeling, you can sais : bien (well) très bien (very well) merveilleusement bien (like be in paradise) 🙂

Dear Charlotte,
I love all the beautiful pictures of you in BambinO in Paris I cannot wait to hear of all the success you will have. May the Lord bless you richly my Beloved.
It is still being renovated but we’re on tour, we’ve been to The Conservatoire Mozart, The British Council and the Mairie Annex de 14e, in the future we go to The Bibliotheque Jacqueline de Romilly, and the final week will be in the Cent Quartre /Atelier 7.

Paris in the spring…what more could you ask for! Thanks for taking us with you through those spectacular photos. I’ve only been there once, in August, when it was miserably hot and there was an inversion layer of smog. Awful. This is a better time! You look absolutely adorable with that black topknot!
It’s amazing how quickly the babies accept the hat, when I first saw it I wondered if they would like it but they love the plume, Emma and Giuseppe Belli did an amazing job with the set and costumes, so imaginative. You would love Paris in the Spring – the weather has been good.

So thrilled for You and your BambinO group. Paris looks so pretty. My husband and I watched the marathon race that was held on Sunday, through Paris. I can honestly say that I am Jealous! Have fun dear Charlotte! Next stop, New York!
We walked quickly with the runners for a while to soak in the atmosphere and beating drums, it was a lovely dry day for them. We walked up a good appetite too 😀.

I love this City in the evening, people sat out in the street cafe/bars, talking, facing out and watching the world pass by, it’s very easy going, no drunkenness, really just lovely.

It’s lovely to see that it carries across into a different Country and culture, and the parents and carers smiling at the babies reactions.

Beautiful photos Charlotte, I love the flower market ones .
I’m so pleased everything is going so well in Paris, it all looks fabulous,
Enjoy the rest of your time there, looking forward to your New York experience next .😘😘
I was walking down by the Seine the other day and thought I wonder if anyone swims 🏊 in it? The water was really high and some of the footpaths were flooded.

I’ve put the information in the post now Val thanks for pointing that out, I thought I’d put them in but the photos covered the words.

We use both. Our camera takes the best photos. I have an IPhone and my husband has a Samsung phone. The camera on the Samsung is much better than the IPhone. 🤗

So glad you’re having a good time! Hope the rest of the performances go well – and that it doesn’t rain too much so you can do some more sightseeing! (It’s really wet where I am right now.)

Is the Théâtre du Châtelet open again? The last time I walked past it was closed for renovation.
It is still being renovated but we’re on tour, we’ve been to The Conservatoire Mozart, The British Council and the Mairie Annex de 14e, in the future we go to The Bibliotheque Jacqueline de Romilly, and the final week will be in the Cent Quartre /Atelier 7.
