Since it’s drearily
raining here in Warsaw, I thought I’d
bounce back to Paris
– a city that’s romantic even when it is raining!
During our last trip,
I realized that Parisians seem to j’adore flowering window boxes! Everywhere
I walked in Paris, I stumbled upon vivid red geraniums spilling over the window
boxes.
Geraniums in shades of hot
pink, red and white seemed to be the most popular flower.
Of course, I started
noticing so many of these window boxes, so I thought, “Hmm…I bet these would
make a nice photo post.” So here you go. I selected 12 of my favorite photos
for this special French blog post.
Besides geraniums, I did
spy a few window boxes featuring elegant roses behind the wrought iron fencing
on the balconies.
As I walked around Paris,
I wondered what kind of people lived behind these well-maintained window boxes?
Perhaps a young French couple, an older mademoiselle or a kind old gentleman? I
wonder.

What do you think?
Au revoir!
BTW, Here’s another blog
post I found online featuring Paris
Window Boxes.

Lovely Post! I have heard a lot about the beautiful Window boxes in Paris. I always wanted to visit France with my spouse & get our stay planned in a hotel with alluring window boxes. Luckily, we are planning to apply for France Visa online next month. Hoping having a great time in Paris!
